INTELLIMAXX™ GOES MOBILE; ANGOSS ACQUIRES HORNBY MOBILE SOLUTIONS
BUSINESS
TORONTO, Nov. 9 /CNW/ - Angoss Software Corporation (TSX-V: ANC), a leading provider of software and solutions in data, predictive analytics, and marketing, today announced it has acquired the mobile solutions assets of Hitgroup.ca formerly operated as "The Hornby Solution".
The Hornby Solution reflects more than a decade of domain expertise in the Canadian loyalty and rewards space. Hitgroup founders Blair Calder and Stevi Hanson are assisting Angoss with transitional support and collaboration on sales and business development for existing opportunities after closing.
The Hornby system provides a robust mobile marketing platform that enables marketers and their agencies to provide mobile loyalty and rewards programs including offers, coupons, and other location based services. It is especially well positioned to help retailers and other high frequency consumer services providers extend existing loyalty and rewards programs to create mobile marketing and rewards opportunities.
Angoss will be integrating the Hornby capabilities into its Intellimaxx™ integrated marketing solutions platform as Intellimaxx™ Mobile and extending its data capture, communications, promotions, loyalty and customer intelligence capabilities across Blackberry, iPhone and Android mobile platforms.
"By extending Intellimaxx™ with these exciting mobile capabilities, Angoss will be able to provide our customers with a comprehensive suite of customer management, insight, engagement and loyalty" said Eric Apps, President of Angoss. "In addition, this solution will provide us with valuable opportunities to provide more advanced analytics and measurement than currently exist in the mobile space to help marketers better understand the dynamics of the mobile marketplace".
The terms of the deal were not disclosed but include initial cash consideration payable over 12 months and incentive compensation linked to sales pipeline conversion. In addition, following the initial anniversary of the transaction, warrants to acquire 75,000 common shares of Angoss exercisable at $0.75 may be issued if the solution achieves specified revenue thresholds, subject to the receipt of any applicable board and stock exchange approvals at such time.
