New customer wins expected to scale rapidly with launch of NexTech’s CaptureAR technology
NEW YORK and TORONTO, Feb. 27, 2020 — NexTech AR Solutions (NexTech) (otcqb:NEXCF) (NTAR)(N29), the leader in augmented reality for eCommerce and AR learning applications, has landed four new WebAR customers; SpenceUp, Dhana Inc., Lotuk and WallKicks. All of the 3D WebAR experiences will be created utilizing the company’s proprietary CaptureAR technology. CaptureAR is a pivotal new technology which the company believes will greatly accelerate the augmented reality global marketplace. The CaptureAR app is expected to launch in the next 30 days. The app, once launched, will be a boost to the revenue-generating power of the existing AR eCommerce solution and recently launched 3D/AR advertising platform.
Dustin Werth CEO of WallKicks comments:
“We have worked with NexTech AR for the past 2 months. During that time they created an AR solution for WallKicks to help us engage our shoppers in a huge way. Now our customers can actually place a WallKick directly on a wall to see how it will look before they make the purchase! During this time the NexTech team has been outstanding to work with. We worked directly with Con and Paul. They completed the project quickly. There are still changes they are making to create an even better AR solution for us. WallKicks is thankful for our collaboration and we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with NexTech AR.”
Joven Yount Co-Founder of SpenceUp comments:
“We are extremely excited to work with NexTech AR Solutions because they are helping us bring our products to life. Spence is a very unique product and their technology gives potential customers an opportunity to see themselves in an augmented reality version of our suspenders. When a new product hits the market, people are hesitant to try it until they fully understand it. They want to touch it, feel it, and see it before they buy it. That’s obviously a challenge for online retailers but NexTech AR has solved that problem for us. We are confident that their technology will drive more interest and a better understanding of Spence. Customers can engage with the products and see how good they look in Spence, which will lead to the next level sales we are seeking. NexTech AR provides exactly what we need to make all of those things happen.”
Shamini Dhana, Founder and CEO, Dhana Inc. comments:
“NexTech’s 3D/AR allows us to showcase the personal story on the inside of the jacket while highlighting the performance and functionality on the exterior of the jacket. It’s a way for our customers to discover and engage with our product, using creativity, design and story-telling.” (website launching March 15th)
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech comments, “AR is becoming more mainstream in 2020 and we are seeing an increased pace in our closed deals. As the year plays out we expect that more and more of the millions of eCommerce site owners from Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, WordPress and others will recognize the unique and powerful advantage augmented reality can have on their bottom lines. With these four deals we are accelerating forward with our stated business plan of signing up early adopters in AR and then moving them through our suite of AR products including; WebAR, AR for training and education and AR in 3D advertising. As one can read from the above quotes all of our customers are excited to join us as first movers in the fast-growing augmented reality and virtual reality markets.”
