The CEO of Ottawa’s Intouch Insight (TSX-V:INX) says the firm had a “challenging” first quarter, but that he expects its investments to pay off by the middle of the fiscal year.
Revenue for the mobile analytics firm was down slightly for the quarter ending March 31, 2017, coming in at $3.3 million, a 0.4 per cent year-over-year decrease. Recurring revenue, however, was down 11 per cent from the same quarter a year ago, coming in at $539,890.
Intouch dipped further into the red with a net loss of $148,709 for the first quarter, compared to $27,092 for the same period a year ago.

Intouch is coming off a strong 2016 that saw the company raise annual revenues by 30 per cent as well as acquire RetailTrack, another Ottawa firm.
