Vancouver, British Columbia - August 14, 2024 - VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQB:VRSSF) (“VERSES” or the “Company”), a cognitive computing company developing next-generation intelligent software systems, today announced that third party logistics company NRI USA, LLC (“NRI”) will be upgrading to the Genius Beta program.
“NRI was an early adopter of our offerings and saw the vision of what our intelligent software can provide. Since we entered into a commercial agreement with them, our business model has evolved from an industry specific bespoke offering, to that of our current flagship platform offering, Genius. So naturally it makes sense to transition our relationship onto Genius,” said Gabriel René, CEO of VERSES.
“It was great utilizing the early capabilities of Wayfinder but we need more than just routing capabilities. The 3PL and supply chain industry is more complex than ever and at times very unpredictable. The ability to apply our vast amounts of data to Genius’ reasoning capabilities is extremely exciting for our business. This will be a foundational element for when the more advanced Genius capabilities are released in the future, ” said Pete McKenna, Chairman of NRI.
Due to the change of platform and the structure of Genius, the existing SaaS contract dated August 25, 2021 is being voided by both parties and no further obligations are required on behalf of either party in respect of the SaaS contract. The two companies intend to enter into a new contract for Genius on terms being negotiated by the parties.
