Multi-phase Rollout with Fortune 50 Social Media Company to Improve Order Optimization

CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Boardwalktech Software Corp (the "Company" or "Boardwalktech") (TSXV: BWLK) (OTCQB: BWLKF), the leading Digital Ledger solution improving the way enterprises manage information, today announced that it extended and expanded its relationship with a Fortune 50 California-based technology company (the "Customer"). This is the second such expansion of the commercial relationship, with the initial professional services engagement announced on May 18, 2021 followed by the first expansion of the agreement and temporary license that was announced on December 23, 2022.

Boardwalktech is pleased to announce the expansion of the Customer's deployment and licensing of the Boardwalk Platform and associated Radius Control Tower / Unity Central data management solutions to improve supply chain visibility and order execution. The initial phase, being announced today, is the first annual license with the Customer, and is focused on improving B2B order fulfilment and visibility. The next two phases of the solution are expansions which are expected to be added throughout 2024 and will leverage Unity Central for return management improvements, then a full platform solution for supply side order management connecting the Customer's various contract manufacturing partners and suppliers. Future announcements are expected as those new phases are executed. Combined license and services revenue from this expanded plan is expected to exceed US$400,000 over the next 12 months. Further license increases are expected as these solutions renew and Boardwalktech continues to demonstrate measurable ROI for the Customer in its quest for continuous order and supply chain improvement.

The Boardwalk Platform provides a cutting-edge solution that empowers companies to better understand and take action on the various information, such as unstructured data within documents and emails, that flow within their supply chain ecosystem. According to a 2022 Lodestar survey, a typical Purchase Order can require over 50 documents and signal flows across 25-30 stakeholders, often requiring dozens of supplemental emails to insure on-time order fulfillment. These documents and signals are time consuming and tedious to interpret, understand, and organize to ensure timely and proactive actions when an order is in a critical state. Boardwalk's Digital Ledger and Unity Central solution can simultaneously ingest all of these documents and signals without having to transform the data, understand the contents and signals within these documents, and provide immediate alerts and predictive analytics so proactive steps can be taken to insure an order stays on track. Current supply chain solutions rely on legacy approaches making them expensive and late to react to issues that could result in a missed or delayed order because they fail to improve the data reliability root cause. This is why a Price Waterhouse Cooper survey in February 2023 showed that 83% of supply-chain executives have not seen value from data investments they have made to date. Conversely, after an extensive review period measuring the ROI on actual commercial performance, the Customer chose to license the Boardwalk platform which is being announced today.

"Today's announcement with this Customer marks the start of another growth chapter for Boardwalktech. Unity Central augments our Digital Ledger leadership to provide customers with a more holistic, high ROI solution – whether data resides in spreadsheets or documents. While market forces meant it took the Customer longer to complete its commercial ROI process than first expected, it was worth the wait. Not only have we finally announced our first license with this Customer, but we are excited that future plans have been expanded. As these joint developments progress, we look forward to future announcements. That said, license and service revenues over the next twelve months is expected to exceed the Company's prior projections for this engagement," stated Andrew T. Duncan, Chief Executive Officer at Boardwalktech. "The majority of enterprise information is unstructured data which means it is often omitted from critical decisions or alerts until after the fact. The Boardwalk Platform and Unity Central can now ingest this information, providing alerts and predictive analytics to all parties in the supply chain ecosystem to understand this information and quickly take action. The Customer recognized these challenges to build a world class supply chain and chose the Boardwalktech Platform and Unity Central to help them get closer to an aspirational 'perfect order' fulfillment goal and environment."
