Surrey, BC – October 24, 2023 – INEO Tech Corp. (TSX-V: INEO; OTCQB: INEOF) (the “Company” or “INEO”), the developer and operator of the INEO Media Network, a digital advertising and analytics solution for retailers, is pleased to announce it has shipped the first INEO Welcoming Systems, as per the Company’s distribution agreement with partner Prosegur Security (“Prosegur”), for installation at various locations of Jumbo Cencosud (“Jumbo”) in Columbia. As per the agreement, before the end of October, INEO will be selling and shipping a total of 59 systems, comprised of both Welcoming Systems and Welcoming GATEs, which will be installed in four Jumbo retail locations. With approximately 15 systems installed per store, INEO will be managing an immersive in-store retail media network.

Overall, Cencosud operates over 1,000 stores under various brand names across Latin America.
“We are thrilled to announce the shipping of this customer order and to be partnering with Prosegur to expand our Retail Media Network into South America,” said Kyle Hall, CEO of INEO. “We had been running pilot systems in these stores since last year and we are happy to have converted the pilot to a full contract with a roll out plan. Installing a large number of systems within a single store delivers a great presence in the store while expanding the advertising capabilities and the revenue generating opportunities for both INEO and our partners. The growth potential of this partnership is outstanding and we look forward to working with Jumbo and Prosegur to install more locations.”
Under the terms of the Prosegur global distribution partnership agreement, Prosegur has been granted non-exclusive distribution rights to sell, secure, place and install the patented INEO Welcoming System under their own brand, “Prosegur EVO“.
