ARCPOINT EXPANDING DISTRIBUTION NETWORK WITH MYACPOINTLABS PLATFORM
Greenville, South Carolina, Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARCpoint Inc. (TSXV: ARC) (the "Company" or "ARCpoint") a leading US-based franchise system providing drug testing, alcohol screening, DNA and direct to consumer ("DTC") clinical lab testing services is pleased to provide an update on the roll out of its consumer e-commerce platform, MyARCpointLabs, ("MAPL") as previously announced in the Company's July 10, 2023 news release.
南卡羅來納州格林維爾,2023年8月10日(Global Newswire)--ARCpoint Inc.(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:ARC)(The公司“或”圓弧點)一家總部位於美國的領先特許經營系統提供藥物測試、酒精篩查、DNA和直接對消費者(DTC)臨床實驗室測試服務,該公司很高興提供其消費者電子商務平臺MyARCpoint Labs(“MapL”)推出的最新情況,該公司此前在2023年7月10日的新聞稿中宣佈了這一消息。
ARCpoint's President and CEO, John Constantine commented "With the full launch of MyARCpointLabs last month, 90 of the Company's 135 locations have now gone through the MyARCpointLabs onboarding and training process and 36 of those locations have begun using and integrating the platform into their daily business. In addition, 105 affiliate businesses are signed up through 21 of our franchise locations to use the MyARCpointLabs platform on a SaaS basis. This currently gives us 240 physical locations where consumers could purchase our tests and services."
ArCpoint首席執行官兼首席執行官約翰·康斯坦丁評論說:“隨著上個月MyARCpoint實驗室的全面推出,公司135個地點中的90個已經完成了MyARCpoint Labs的入職和培訓流程,其中36個地點已經開始使用該平臺並將其整合到他們的日常業務中。此外,105家附屬企業通過我們的21個特許經營地點簽約,以SaaS的形式使用MyARCpoint Labs平臺。目前,我們有240個實體地點,消費者可以在那裡購買我們的測試和服務。”
Affiliate businesses ("affiliates") are businesses that are separate from ARCpoint, such as health or vitamin stores, fitness facilities, chiropractor offices, physician offices, clinical and genetic reference labs and pharmacies. Given regulatory, licensing, technology and other issues, many of these types of businesses have not been previously able to offer DTC healthcare testing services. Using the MyARCpointLabs platform, affiliates are able to offer some or all of ARCpoint's products and services to their customers to both enhance their own product and service offerings and, in some cases, generate additional revenue, while at the same time meeting applicable regulatory and other compliance obligations.
附屬公司(“附屬公司”)是指獨立於ARCpoint之外的業務,如健康或維生素商店、健身設施、脊椎按莫耳師辦公室、醫生辦公室、臨床和遺傳參考實驗室和藥房。由於監管、許可、技術和其他問題,這些類型的企業中有許多以前無法提供DTC醫療檢測服務。使用MyARCpoint Labs平臺,附屬公司能夠向客戶提供ArCpoint的部分或全部產品和服務,以增強他們自己的產品和服務,並在某些情況下創造額外收入,同時履行適用的法規和其他合規義務。
Mr. Constantine added "We will continue to onboard and train our existing and new franchisees on the MyARCpointLabs system as quickly as possible. At the same time, we are working hard to add affiliate users on both an individual location and national accounts basis, with the intention of dramatically increasing our distribution network and number of potential consumer touchpoints as rapidly as possible."
康斯坦丁補充說:“我們將繼續儘快對現有和新的特許經營商進行MyARCpoint Labs系統的培訓。同時,我們正在努力在個人地點和國家賬戶的基礎上增加附屬用戶,目的是儘快大幅增加我們的分銷網路和潛在消費者接觸點的數量。”
MyARCpointLabs was developed to make it easier for the Company's franchisees to attract and better serve individual healthcare consumers and to make it easier for consumers to purchase the Company's products and services. The affiliate program is an excellent example of the culture of innovation at ARCpoint that helps drive business into franchisee locations.
開發MyARCpoint Labs是為了使公司的特許經營商更容易吸引和更好地為個人保健消費者提供服務,並使消費者更容易購買公司的產品和服務。加盟計劃是ARCpoint創新文化的一個很好的例子,這種文化有助於將業務推向特許經營商地點。
An example of how affiliates can expand the ARCpoint distribution network and drive revenue to the Company would be a nutrition store that decides to become an ARCpoint affiliate. Deploying the MyARCpointLabs platform on a SaaS basis, the affiliate would have a dedicated landing page for their business where all ARCpoint tests and services they choose to offer are listed. This landing page includes an easy process for consumers to use an affiliate displayed QR code to order, pay for and schedule a test. To a customer, the system makes transactions much like making a normal online purchase or restaurant reservation. Landing pages are accessible by mobile phone or other digital device and through a QR code in the affiliate business location. Using these tools, an affiliate has the ability to offer and promote ARCpoint testing services to their customers to help support the sale of their own products and services. In the case of a health store that sells Vitamin D supplements, it may be crucial for the success of the therapy for the user to know what their Vitamin D level is before they start taking the supplement and after they have been taking it. Accordingly, such an affiliate's customers could order and schedule the applicable testing through the affiliate and have it performed at an ARCpoint location, without having to go to their doctor. The customer could then share those results with the affiliate so they could adjust their therapy accordingly. To use the MyARCpointLabs platform, affiliates may pay a monthly recurring technology fee, as well as a fee for each of their customer transactions. In return, affiliates would receive a portion of the test revenue their customers generate. Depending on whether the affiliate is a local business or part of a national account, fees would accrue to the franchisee or ARCpoint respectively. In the case of fees accruing to the franchisee, ARCpoint would in turn receive its participation through the 7% royalty on revenues franchisees pay to the Company.
附屬公司如何擴大ArCpoint分銷網路並為公司帶來收入的一個例子是一家決定成為ArCpoint附屬公司的營養店。在SaaS基礎上部署MyARCpoint Labs平臺後,該附屬公司將擁有其業務的專用登錄頁,其中列出了他們選擇提供的所有ArCpoint測試和服務。該登錄頁面包括一個簡單的流程,讓消費者可以使用附屬公司顯示的二維碼來訂購、支付和安排測試。對於顧客來說,該系統進行交易就像進行正常的在線購買或餐廳預訂一樣。登錄頁面可以通過手機或其他數位設備訪問,也可以通過附屬企業所在地的二維碼訪問。使用這些工具,附屬公司有能力向他們的客戶提供和推廣ARCpoint測試服務,幫助支持他們自己的產品和服務的銷售。在一家銷售維生素D補充劑的健康商店的情況下,對於使用者來說,在開始服用補充劑之前和一直服用補充劑之後,瞭解他們的維生素D水準可能是治療成功的關鍵。因此,這樣的聯營公司的客戶可以通過聯營公司訂購和安排適用的測試,並在ARCpoint地點進行測試,而不必去看醫生。然後,客戶可以與附屬公司分享這些結果,以便他們可以相應地調整他們的治療。要使用MyARCpoint Labs平臺,附屬公司可能每月支付經常性技術費用,以及每筆客戶交易的費用。作為回報,附屬公司將獲得其客戶產生的測試收入的一部分。根據附屬公司是當地企業還是國家賬戶的一部分,加盟商或ARCpoint將分別收取費用。在特許經營商應計費用的情況下,ARCpoint將通過特許經營商支付給公司的收入的7%的特許權使用費獲得其參與。
