TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Adastra, a global leader in AI and machine learning, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a $1.1-million investment from SCALE AI to support a supply chain optimization platform project for their partner Taiga Building Products.

SCALE AI is Canada’s supercluster dedicated to strengthening the country’s leadership role in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science. This is the second project SCALE AI has funded for Adastra this year, after their investment of $1-million into developing a smart platform to optimize agricultural yield in April 2022.

”By using AI to enable data-driven decisions on these critical elements of Taiga’s supply chain there will be a direct impact to the consumer with available inventory, lower costs, and a wider variety of products,” says Darren Edery, CEO, Adastra. “One of Taiga’s retail customers will participate in the project and provide real-time data that will be integrated into Taiga’s ‘just-in-time’ inventory model to create tangible impact along the building materials supply chain.”

Adastra saw a need for the project due to the fragmented nature of the building materials supply chain. The overall goal of this initiative is to use data inputs that are readily available in disparate systems and use advanced AI techniques to solve three of the most pressing bottlenecks in the building materials supply chain: accurate demand forecasting, maximizing truck loads, and optimizing warehouse layouts.

“Taiga sees the use of technology, specifically machine learning/artificial intelligence technology at the retail level to be a meaningful advancement for our customers,” says Hanif Jessani, Director, IT, Taiga Building Products. “The promotion of these tools will increase revenue for our customers and improve the overall value chain in the LBM space.”

In 2021, Adastra was awarded a Microsoft Impact Award in artificial intelligence. These annual awards recognize Microsoft partners that have focused on bettering the lives of Canadians and demonstrated excellence in sales, marketing, skilling, innovation, and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology. Coupled with their two projects funded by SCALE AI, Adastra is quickly becoming a leader in helping organizations address complex supply chain issues with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Their proven solutions in the space have been unlocking value for organizations and their clients.

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–dataplor started in 2017 with a mission to map the local businesses of Mexico. Having rapidly expanded in the past year and on track to triple annual revenue, the company’s data now covers 100 countries and 150 million POIs.

For businesses looking to expand abroad, data on local commerce in developing markets uncovers untapped opportunity. Highly accurate and comprehensive POI data is helping the world’s largest companies inform site selection, increase efficiency, better target customers, and identify international markets ripe for new entrants.

dataplor plans to extend coverage to 150 countries by the end of 2022 to continue providing customers with accurate POI data in developing economies. While pursuing growth, the firm remains committed to maintaining accuracy across all of its locations.

dataplor has been able to grow in an industry with entrenched competitors because it goes several steps further than others to verify the accuracy of data abroad — in markets where the data peddled is often full of errors.

Expanding coverage and data accuracy across the globe

Since March 2022, dataplor has doubled its total count of POIs, and its coverage has increased from 10 countries in Q2 2021 to 100 countries today, spanning Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The world’s largest tech, CPG, and financial services companies rely on the data company to understand global markets.

The leading factor behind dataplor’s swift growth is its multi-step data collection and verification process. By working with local experts to vet geospatial data, the firm closes gaps in machine errors with boots-on-the-ground verification to ensure its numbers truly reflect local businesses, which are always changing. This dynamic accuracy gives dataplor’s intelligence an edge over rivals who have accurate information for developed economies like the US but haven’t done the legwork to understand poorly mapped business geographies in, say, India or Brazil.

Tracking places attributes such as storefronts, industry types, and business hours, dataplor paints a picture of hyperlocal economies to reveal broader trends. POI data can uncover holes in local brick-and-mortar economies, highlighting regions, for example, where retailers or CPGs can increase sales and marketing efforts. POI data also reveals which chains and brands are growing or receding in certain areas, informing site selection.

With data still scant in many nations, dataplor plans to expand further to provide its customers the information they need country by country. And the company will deploy not just AI and ML for data collection and verification but also local experts to ensure it maintains its precision with each additional market.

Tempering growth with conscientious upkeep

For a data intelligence firm dealing in local business information, keeping records up to date is a never-ending pursuit. From zip code changes to storefront closures, the work of maintaining accurate information in diverse markets continues.

As a sign of the company’s commitment to ensuring accuracy while pursuing growth, dataplor has increased its core team by 30%.

Dedicated to maintaining the infrastructure needed to ensure accuracy across locations old and new, dataplor is putting businesses on the map in international markets and lighting the way for companies looking to establish themselves abroad.

Partner Product Integration Will Provide a Procure-to-Pay Automated Solution for Construction Companies Using Procore

EDMONTON, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–QuoteToMe, a leading provider of procure-to-pay automation software, today announced a new partnership with Procore (NYSE:PCOR), a leading global provider of construction management software. QuoteToMe’s integration with Procore will help increase efficiency for contractor businesses looking to improve their procurement processes.

Construction is a $10T/year global industry, over $1T is spent on materials and equipment in the US and Canada alone. Due to an inefficient incumbent procure-pay workflow, the result is billions of dollars of waste on project overspend and re-work. The construction industry standard for procure-pay workflows includes manual non-centralized communication (phone, text, email) between project teams and suppliers, many paper-based processes, and little to no visibility between contractor departments (field, office and accounting).

Using QuoteToMe’s end-to-end platform consistently saves contractor field and office teams 75% of the time spent to source goods and process purchase orders (POs) and creates up to 15% cost savings on materials and equipment.

The integration between QuoteToMe and Procore helps effectively eliminate data entry and frees time for project managers and site supervisors. Using the QuoteToMe app, field and office users will have the ability to create purchase orders from their mobile devices or desktop computers that can automatically sync with Procore’s Project Financials product.

“Today, we welcome QuoteToMe to a global ecosystem of over 300 Procore App Marketplace Partners,” said Jas Saraw, VP Canada, Procore. “The seamless integration of QuoteToMe with our platform can save our customers time and money, allowing them to protect their profit margins and reduce the administrative burden of procurement.”

“Creating a seamless product experience for Procore users unlocks value for all. Our go-to-market and product strategy places a strong emphasis on integrating with leading software companies, like Procore,” said John Chabluk, QuoteToMe’s founder and CEO

QuoteToMe’s product is a fit for self-performing general and sub-contractors across all four customer segments: Emerging, Mid-Market, Major and Enterprise. Contractors’ clients annual revenue volumes ranging from $15M/year to $1B+.

The benefits of this new integration include:

• Request quotes from your preferred material and equipment suppliers, manage purchasing approvals, and enforce purchasing limits.
• Send completed purchase orders, invoices, and related documents directly to Procore.
• Create POs commitments directly from QuoteToMe’s mobile app to capture receipt-of-goods documents on-site or in the store.
• Rapid onboarding of new contractor customers.
• QuoteToMe syncs and makes Procore project, supplier, and cost code data available to users on-site or in the office through our web and mobile app.

About QuoteToMe

QuoteToMe is a technology company creating innovation for one of the biggest industries on the planet. We have re-imagined how materials, equipment, and services are sourced and paid for on construction projects by helping contractors buy better. Our mission is simple: We are digitizing the construction procure-to-pay workflow by creating a network that connects transaction stakeholders.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DREAM OFFICE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (D.UN-TSX) or (“Dream Office REIT”, the “Trust” or “we”) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) accepted a notice filed by Dream Office REIT to renew its prior normal course issuer bid for a one year period. Under the bid, Dream Office REIT will have the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 3,292,287 of its REIT Units, Series A (the “REIT A Units”) (representing 10% of Dream Office REIT’s public float of 32,922,872 REIT A Units) through the facilities of the TSX. The bid will commence on August 19, 2022 and will remain in effect until the earlier of August 18, 2023 or the date on which Dream Office REIT has purchased the maximum number of REIT A Units permitted under the bid. Daily repurchases will be limited to 34,512 REIT A Units, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the REIT A Units on the TSX during the last six calendar months (being 138,048 REIT A Units per day), other than purchases pursuant to applicable block purchase exceptions. As of August 5, 2022, the number of issued and outstanding REIT A Units is 47,035,382.

In connection with the renewal of its normal course issuer bid, Dream Office REIT has established an automatic securities purchase plan (the “Plan”) with its designated broker to facilitate the purchase of REIT A Units under the normal course issuer bid at times when Dream Office REIT would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase its REIT A Units due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by Dream Office REIT’s broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and the terms of the parties’ written agreement. Outside of such restricted or blackout periods, the REIT A Units may also be purchased in accordance with Management’s discretion. The Plan has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will terminate on August 18, 2023.

Dream Office REIT has renewed its normal course issuer bid because it believes that REIT A Units may become available during the period of the bid at prices that would make the purchase of such REIT A Units for cancellation in the best interests of Dream Office REIT and its unitholders.

Dream Office REIT’s prior normal course issuer bid for the purchase of up to 3,676,723 REIT A Units expired on March 11, 2022, the date that the Trust acquired the maximum number of REIT A Units permitted under the bid. Under this bid, Dream Office REIT purchased for cancellation 3,676,723 REIT A Units through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange at an average price of $23.79 for a total cost of approximately $87.5 million.

Dream Office REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust. Dream Office REIT is a premier office landlord in downtown Toronto with over 3.5 million square feet owned and managed. We have carefully curated an investment portfolio of high-quality assets in irreplaceable locations in one of the finest office markets in the world.

Our objectives and forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, including that the general economy remains stable, interest rates remain stable, conditions within the real estate market remain consistent, competition for acquisitions remains consistent with the current climate and that the capital markets continue to provide ready access to equity and/or debt.
