2015 is shaping up to be the break-even year for Ottawa-based Ackroo, according to the financial outlook and strategic plan the company announced Friday.
“We believe the key learnings from the past two years coupled with the evolution of our product, operations and customers, has set us up for a great 2015,” CEO Steve Levely said in a statement.
The loyalty and rewards technology and services provider said a private placement will be announced soon that will allow the company to boost revenue by 50 per cent over the next three years.
