("Starcom" or the "Company")
Major Supply and Support Agreement
Starcom (AIM: STAR), which specialises in the development of
wireless solutions for the remote tracking, monitoring and
protection of a variety of assets and people, is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a three year supply and support
agreement with Shiptek Solutions Corporation ("Shiptek"), a
Philippine software company, for the supply of its Tetis R
container tracking system.
Under the agreement, Shiptek has committed to purchase a minimum
of 2,900 Tetis R units over three years for a total sales value of
US$1.2 million, and has placed an initial order of US$42,500 (for
100 units). The minimum order commitment of the remaining 2,800
units is phased as to 800 units in 2018, 800 units in 2019 and
1,200 units in 2020.
In addition to revenue from sales of units, the Company will
also provide its online tracking software system, which will
generate SAS (Software-as-a-Service) revenues of an average of US$5
per month per unit. For these minimum volumes it is expected that
SAS revenues over the three years will be approximately
US$250,000.
The Tetis R system tracks shipping containers and monitors
temperature and humidity within the container remotely and in real
time. The Tetis R is targeted primarily at companies wishing to
monitor the environment of their products in transit, such as
pharmaceutical, tobacco and food distribution companies.
The Tetis range is being supplied to Shiptek and will be offered
as an integral part of a new digital platform it has developed,
named X-Log. The platform includes an App and offers similar
functionality as price comparison websites. X-Log has a number of
original features and allows the end-user customer to select the
right container for its products, the cheapest / best shipping
company for the type of product, where the products will be
collected from and delivered to, and all other details needed to
ship a container to its ultimate destination. X-Log has generated a
high level of interest and Shiptek has already signed up a major
top-ten shipping company which has begun trials. Starcom has been
working closely with Shiptek and its partner throughout the trial
period and feedback has been excellent.
Avi Hartmann, CEO of Starcom, commented, "This is a major
breakthrough for Tetis in terms of the volume potential as well as
the endorsement effect. We are delighted to be working with Shiptek
who we have found to be a highly innovative company and, as they
sign up more shipping companies, volumes for Tetis can dramatically
exceed the minimum order they committed to contractually. We
believe we will enjoy a long and beneficial relationship with
Shiptek and look forward to working with them."
