Globalive Technology Announces Partner Flexiti to Provide its Point-of-Sale Financing Technology to Home Furnishings Retailer JYSK Canada
TORONTO, April 30, 2019 /CNW/ - Globalive Technology Inc. (TSX-V: LIVE) (the "Company") today announced that the Company's partner Flexiti Financial ("Flexiti"), a leading point-of-sale consumer financing solutions provider for retailers, has signed a long-term agreement to leverage its point-of-sale financing technology with JYSK, a fast-growing home furnishings retailer offering products with Scandinavian influence. The agreement follows a successful pilot at select JYSK locations across Canada.
Flexiti's mobile, fully automated and 100% paperless financing solution provides customers with quick and easy access to revolving credit and flexible payment options, including 0% financing. The application takes only a few minutes and grants qualified customers a private label credit card usable within Flexiti's network of nearly 4,000 retail locations across Canada. Flexiti's solution increases affordability and improves the shopping experience for customers both in-store and online.
"Customers don't want to sacrifice comfort and style for affordability when furnishing their home," said Mohammed Mahabub, Chief Financial Officer of JYSK Canada. "Our partnership with Flexiti offers our customers a convenient avenue to bring their perfect designs to life on terms they can more easily manage."
Flexiti's omni-channel financing solution is a proven sales driver with retailers in numerous verticals experiencing a significant rise in financed sales volumes after migrating from previous financing platforms. Flexiti's simple and efficient solution becomes a valuable sales tool for retail staff that increases average purchase sizes, builds brand loyalty and encourages repeat store visits.
"We're proud to be working with a retailer as accomplished as JYSK Canada," said Peter Kalen, Founder and CEO of Flexiti. "We believe our innovative point-of-sale consumer financing technology will support the company's continued growth in the highly-competitive retail marketplace."
Flexiti and the Company are parties to a technology development agreement and the Company is a shareholder of Flexiti.
"Flexiti's impressive growth demonstrates the unique value its technology brings to omni-channel retailers," said Anthony Lacavera, Chief Executive Officer of Globalive Technology. "We believe the powerful network effect the company has developed primes it for a dominant position in the retail lending marketplace."
