Expansion through partnerships Recent collaboration with Bradford License India expands distribution reach to India, suggesting openness to strategic licenses and distributor agreements in emerging markets to accelerate market penetration and diversify revenue streams.
Technical and ecommerce readiness Tech stack includes modern web and security tools (React, Borlabs Cookie, Arkose Labs) and tracking/reporting (TrackJS). This indicates an ability to support customized online ordering, B2B portals, and scalable e-commerce solutions for large promotional campaigns.
