Overview

For the third quarter of 2023, the Company continued business consolidation from its merger with Getit Technologies Inc. ("Getit"). As a result, the company has refocused and remodeled its efforts to focus on custom payment and ordering software for large enterprise clients with complex purchasing environments. This new focus has permitted the company to continue cost-cutting efforts, while launching and scaling with new large enterprise clients.

"The company has made significant headway post-merger. Our focus has been on managing cashflow, controlling costs and reducing expenses as we reposition to a focused B2B large enterprise model. This post-merger strategy and direction will show immediate growth for the company over the coming quarter and into the new fiscal year as we move away from third-party marketplaces to custom solutions for large brands with our powerful white-label technologies", said Ryan Hardy, CEO of Perk Labs.
