The Telus team has been extremely impressed with the high level of product innovation and data services that Loop offers to their customers as well as to the Telus clients. Telus is always looking to partner with innovative and disruptive companies, and this reseller agreement with Loop will now provide our customers with the best of both worlds, Loop solutions sold and serviced by Telus."
Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated “We are incredibly proud of this new reseller agreement with TELUS and the validation it brings to Loop through their confidence to sell our solutions directly to their customers. We were honoured to be added to the TELUS IoT Marketplace in 2020 but now becoming one of the select few products to be resold as their own to their national client base is the ultimate achievement. We look forward to growing our businesses together by delivering great solutions to TELUS clients.”
