Revenues continue to climb at ProntoForms (TSX-V:PFM). The Kanata-based tech firm reported revenues of $3.3 million for the second quarter that ended June 30, a 13-per-cent increase over the same quarter a year ago.

The firm, which develops a mobile workflow and analytics platform, says its in-house sales staff drove this growth. Direct recurring revenue rose 41 per cent this past quarter, while the contributions from the firm’s channel partners – IT resellers and tier-1 carriers such as AT&T – dropped by 11 per cent year-over-year. Total recurring revenue for the quarter was roughly $3 million, a 16-per-cent increase.

In a statement, CEO Alvaro Pombo remained high on the firm’s channel partners despite this quarter’s drop-off in earnings.
