Comments from CEO
It is with great pleasure that I can state that we are in a very exciting and expansive phase. Our growth journey has truly gained momentum, and we are seeing clear results from our efforts to revolutionize healthcare through innovation and digitalization. The number of active units has increased by 29% compared to the previous quarter, and we have now delivered approximately 2,000 Dosell units to our partners. Our mission to digitalize healthcare and ensure the right medicine at the right time is starting to take shape in earnest.
Spain – A New Market with Great Potential
Earlier this year, we received an order for 500 Dosell units from our partner Ti Medi, and I am proud to announce that Ti Medi has now launched our innovative solution in the Spanish market. Together with Ti Medi and their 1,400 pharmacies, we are offering a unique solution that combines their dose-packaging machines with our medication robot, Dosell. This is a groundbreaking offering that will change how pharmacists monitor patient medication adherence, leading to better healthcare. This launch is our first major venture outside Sweden targeting the consumer market, and next year, we look forward to extending this offering to the healthcare sector as well.
New Phase – Clearer Forecasts and Increased Insight into Growth Potential
We are now entering a new and very important phase for iZafe Group. For the first time, we can forecast our growth based on actual key metrics, showing how the number of active Dosell units increases each month. This means that, starting from the next quarterly report, we will be able to present clear and credible forecasts that give you, our existing shareholders, and potential new investors, an even better understanding of the company’s future potential. This is an important milestone for us and something that will further strengthen our position moving forward.
More Markets and Continued Growth
Our expansion is not limited to Spain. We have seen strong demand from both Swedish municipalities and our international markets. The Netherlands and Sweden have continued to deliver steady growth, and we expect Norway and Finland to follow suit during the final quarter. Our business model is based on active units with recurring revenue, and we are working diligently to ensure that we can meet increasing demand and create steady growth month by month.
At the same time, our total revenue has tripled compared to the first three quarters of last year, further confirming the positive development.
Strategic Partnerships and Innovation
We have also taken an important step forward with our strategic three-party collaboration with Zafe Care Systems and Sensorem. Together, we offer a holistic solution for increased independence and security in medical care. Through the integration of Sensorem’s safety alarms with Dosell, we can ensure that users are reminded to take their medicine even when they are far from home, creating a safer daily life for those who rely on continuous medication. This is a strong symbol of our vision to create solutions that not only streamline healthcare but also give users greater freedom and security in their everyday lives.
Opportunities for the Future
We now look forward to further strengthening our presence, with more Dosell units being implemented in municipalities and healthcare institutions across Europe. Particularly exciting is our expansion in Norway, where we have entered into a partnership with Randstad to ensure an efficient and successful implementation of our solutions. We are confident that this partnership will help us ensure high quality in the transformation process and that our solutions reach as many users as possible.
Thanks to increased sales, strong partnerships, and innovative solutions, we are now facing a bright future with continued growth and opportunities. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our employees, partners, and shareholders for your commitment and support – together, we are making a real difference.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
