"We are thrilled with the results the Company delivered in Q3" said Steve Levely, chief executive officer at Ackroo. "Not only did the Company see substantial year over year and quarter over quarter revenue growth this also represents our highest revenue quarter in Company history.  An exciting accomplishment for all of us.  During the period the Company also accomplished several key operational initiatives to position us for continued growth.  We operationally integrated the Dealer Rewards team and their customers which played a key role in helping us achieve these results. We migrated customers off of 2 legacy platforms onto our new Ackroo Anywhere platform helping to position us for technical scale and cost savings.  We added support and billing automation tools to allow the Company to continue to focus on product and sales initiatives and to reduce manual support required. We added more self-serve features to our platform like our Campaigns and Reporting infrastructure allowing the Company to continue to offer our solution at an affordable price due to the reduction of support required. We continued to develop our channels with the addition of our latest referral partner in POS West.  We also completed dual listing in the United States via the OTC Pink markets that combined with DRC eligibility allows US investors to deposit Ackroo shares certificates and electronically trade Ackroo shares through their US brokerages. A very exciting quarter on many fronts and has the Company very position to close out the year strong and to continue our plans for continuous growth. "
