MOKO Social Media Limited and InnoSoft Canada Inc. Finalize Exclusive Partnership
- NEW EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT WITH INNOSOFT FUSION EXPANDS REC*IT REACH TO NEW COLLEGES IN US AND CANADA WITH ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND FUNCIONALITY
- MOKO EXCLUSIVITY TO DEVELOP RECREATION AND FITNESS APP TO MUNICIPAL, CORPORATE AND COMMUNITY CLUBS
NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MOKO Social Media Limited (NASDAQ: MOKO, ASX: MKB) and London, Ontario, CANADA-based InnoSoft Canada Inc. have agreed to extend the reach of MOKO's REC*IT app into campuses using the InnoSoft Fusion security layer for Single Sign On (SSO) access for students and InnoSoft's online and mobile responsive platform.
This boosts REC*IT functionality for universities and colleges and extends REC*IT to recreational sports and fitness facilities and activities, beyond just colleges.
This is an exclusive arrangement for MOKO and comes on the back of the important extension to the IMLeagues license announced two weeks ago.
The initial agreement is for two years and automatically renews for an unlimited number of additional terms until MOKO elects to terminate. This effectively provides MOKO with exclusive rights in perpetuity, subject to MOKO meeting the conditions of advance payments and standard operational responsibilities.
InnoSoft Fusion develops and operates a unique enterprise software system for universities that includes membership management, program/camp registration, equipment/inventory management, point-of-sale, access control, online e-commerce and more.
MOKO and InnoSoft will develop a range of initiatives, the first being the ability to seamlessly include student identification and authentication into the REC*IT app. The user experience for the students will be further improved, especially at campuses where access to REC*IT was limited due to student authentication system barriers.
MOKO will also extend its reach into the active lifestyle market by developing a mobile app exclusively for InnoSoft's current and future customers using its online and mobile platform for recreational sports, fitness facilities and other activities. InnoSoft has client municipalities in the US and Canada using the Fusion platform. Further, a number of major US corporations that offer sports and fitness programs to employees also use Fusion. MOKO and InnoSoft will develop an app for InnoSoft customers that is an extension of the REC*IT platform.
"This is another major step forward for MOKO and our goal to make REC*IT an indispensible tool for students and college administrations as well as county community and recreation centers and major US corporations," said CEO Ian Rodwell.
"The exclusive InnoSoft license completes the puzzle for student authentication and data management and is another step closer to MOKO's grip on North American college and community focused apps. This reach will be attractive to advertisers and other media rights and technology partners."
"The icing on the cake for MOKO is InnoSoft's penetration into the active lifestyle market. This partnership complements our strategy within our active lifestyle category, initially with RunHaven."
InnoSoft CEO Brian Foster said "We are extremely excited about our partnership with MOKO. It complements our client-centric growth strategy by continuing to offer a breadth of functionality and continues to enhance our end-user experience. InnoSoft is committed to partnering with world-class organizations using world-class technology. REC*IT (and MOKO) is our clear partner of choice."
