VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2017 / ParcelPal Technology Inc. (“ParcelPal” or the “Company”) (CSE: PKG) (FSE: PT0) (OTC PINK: PTNYF) is pleased to announce that they have exclusively partnered with one of Canada’s largest medical marijuana dispensary chains. They currently have over 15 locations in operation across Canada, and are expected to have over 100 dispensary locations by the end of Q4, 2017. ParcelPal will begin integrations and launch in Vancouver locations in the weeks ahead.
With full legalization pending, and a relatively unsophisticated and chaotic business space, the Cannabis industry will reward those dispensaries that can solidify their logistics and increase their online presence to reach patients. With the ParcelPal integration, a simple click on the “add-to-cart” button and consumers are ready to check out just as if they were ordering a consumer product from any other online store, and have the product delivered to them within the hour.
President Kelly Abbott states, “ParcelPal was founded on the principle of innovation. We are always striving for a better customer experience and seeking revenue streams that coincide with our business model. We believe entering into the Medical Marijuana market demonstrates this focus. We’re very excited to begin working in this growing industry and to start setting the precedents for delivery standards to our partner’s patients across Canada. This partnership is an impetus for expanding our operations across Canada.”
CEO Jason Moreau states, “Our integration will help the clients who have mobility issues, have crippling social anxiety, or who are elderly. Additionally, many medical marijuana patients are in professions where they don’t want to be seen going in and out of dispensaries.”
As part of ongoing plans to integrate with businesses in multiple verticals, ParcelPal will be launching and beta testing their marketplace app where consumers will have the ability to order food, retail goods, marijuana, and alcohol from one single source. A marketplace application reduces the need and cost of marketing products and engaging customers online. The ParcelPal application will drive customers to these businesses and take care of selling and delivering the product.
