Simble Solutions Limited (ASX:SIS) | ASX Announcement

Simble CEO, Ronen Ghosh, said: "The December quarter was an important period as the Company set itself up for the 2022 year ahead. Pleasingly the end of 2021 saw us increase our cash collections from customers year on year and quarter on quarter based on steadily increasing recurring revenues.

The Company acted decisively during the quarter to build a platform for rapid growth in 2022. We focused on the development of the CarbonView platform as a key pillar of our strategy, as well as building our business development capability with additional sales staff and various marketing initiatives to increase awareness and penetration of our SaaS solutions. Expenditure in these areas has been a necessary investment in order to capitalise on the current market tailwinds in the ESG and Net Zero sectors.

We are already receiving very positive feedback in respect of our product suite including CarbonView and SimbleSense and this is translating into exciting opportunities with existing and new partners, and potential new customers. The entire Simble team is looking forward to engaging and supporting our rapidly expanding network of partners and customers as we help them reduce emissions and meet their Net Zero goals. It's going to be a busy 2022, and we can't wait."
