SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 13, 2017) - VinCompass® Corp. (
Company Updates
VinCompass® continues to invest heavily in its core IP with the company's development expenses totaling $410,505 as of year ending February 28, 2017. This represents a growth of 116% as compared to $189,363 for the same year ending February 28, 2016. By investing in the further enhancement of its core technology, VinCompass™ seeks to expand the total number of restaurants under management from 10,000 to 25,000 in 2017. Founder & CEO Peter Lachapelle said, "Our development expenses since inception have accounted for 62% of the total expenses of the Company, supporting the long term strategy of investments in core technology for competitive advantage. One such advantage is the pending Patent for Recommendation as it uniquely anticipates the VinPrint® (wine DNA preferences) of members and individually optimizes the recommendation for them. This eliminates the guesswork of selecting wines, trial and error experience as well as the lack of personalization that might happen with simple expert ratings. Additionally, a major refresh of our website and apps (iOS and Android) is underway that will provide our customers updated and broader content coverage, enhancing customer engagement as well as leveraging alternative member authentication, such as LinkedIn."
