Fobi AI Inc. (FOBI:TSX) has introduced a new integrated event registration and digital ticketing platform, designed to expand revenue opportunities and enhance user experiences by integrating ticket purchase transaction fees into its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.
This platform consolidates event registration, ticket purchases, memberships, and credentials into a unified web or mobile interface, providing a streamlined, paperless, and secure method for managing event-related needs directly from Apple or Google wallets.
Additionally, Fobi has integrated a pass bundling feature, allowing the bundling of event tickets with additional purchases such as merchandise and food, enhancing convenience and potentially increasing revenue through bundled sale.
AI and SaaS
According to Grand View Research, the global AI market is undergoing significant expansion and is projected to grow to US$1.81 trillion by 2030 from US$196.63 billion in 2023, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.1%.
In 2022, the market's value increased by US$60 billion, driven by greater accessibility to historical data sets, which is accelerating innovation in AI.
Furthermore, the global mobile wallet market is also set for rapid growth, with Precedence Research predicting a CAGR of 27.2% through 2033. This growth is primarily fueled by the increasing adoption of contactless payments, with the market expected to reach US$88.36 billion, up from US$8 billion last year.
Catalysts
Fobi AI Inc. has introduced several catalysts with its new integrated event registration and digital ticketing platform, promising to drive new revenue streams and enhance user experiences.
According to Rob Anson, CEO of Fobi AI, "This product release is a testament to Fobi AI's dedication to addressing client needs and enhancing user experiences through innovative technology." He emphasized the platform's role in "enhancing shareholder value by driving new revenue streams," highlighting the integration of ticket purchase transaction fees into Fobi's SaaS model.
The platform addresses the pain points of event organization by providing a unified solution for event registration, ticketing purchases, memberships, and credentials, all accessible via a streamlined web or mobile interface. This integration facilitates a smoother, hassle-free experience for attendees, who can manage all event-related needs from a secure and convenient location, eliminating the need for physical tickets and reducing paper waste.
Additionally, the new feature of pass bundling allows attendees to combine their event tickets with other purchases, such as merchandise, food, and beverages, potentially increasing overall sales.
This feature "unlocks new opportunities for generating additional revenue for Fobi AI," as it simplifies the consumer experience while promoting further sales within the same platform. Anson's comments underscore the platform's potential to redefine the event registration and ticketing landscape, making every event more seamless and efficient while setting new standards in the event industry.
Expert Analysis
Streetwise Ownership Overview*Techincal Analyst Clive Maund wrote about Fobi's long-term potential in April, pointing out, "On the 6-month chart we see that there is a clear line of support at 7 cents which is a reason that the stock was recommended back in February after which it made a substantial if fleeting gain when it rose briefly to touch 12 cents, since which time it has dropped back to arrive at 7 cents again.
Maund went on to say, "Whilst we cannot entirely rule out that it won't breach this support, which could be a false break lower given the positive outlook for the company, there is thought to be a high probability that it is making a Double Bottom with the January – February lows here, in which case we are at an excellent entry point (again) now."
Ownership and Share Structure
According to the company, about 20% is held by insiders, including the CEO Anson, who has 4.35% personally and 15.45% through Fobisuite Technologies Inc. The rest is with retail.
