Carson City, NV & Hong Kong, May 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 12 ReTech Corporation (OTC: RETC) announced in the next few days
it will launch a pilot of 12Sconti APP, its new mobile-app. 12Sconti APP is designed to help merchants of food and other perishable
products reduce waste by offering soon to expire items or services – such as empty restaurant tables – at a discount to a wider
customer audience.
The 12Sconti APP will be marketed first in Zurich, Switzerland, from where the Company will introduce it to other Swiss and
European cities, and thereafter to the North American and Asian markets.
The waste of perishable goods is a continuous problem for merchants in the developed world. The 12Sconti APP advances the
dialogue on how to deal with it by allowing retailers to discount, on an hour by hour basis, foodstuffs and other perishable
products like flowers, which otherwise would need to be disposed of as waste or recycled as agricultural compost. Using the
mobile-app, a merchant will be able to attract a wide social-economic demographic of consumers who might want to purchase soon to
expire products at a substantial discount. In the long term, the APP could also be used as a tool for pre-orders, which will help
merchants customize their supply chain resulting in more efficient resource management.
12 ReTech will commence conducting promotional campaigns targeting university students in Zurich and surrounding areas as well
as the regular customers of participating merchants.
One percent (1%) of the gross income generated by the 12Sconti APP will be donated to The Hunger Project, a non-profit
charitable organization dedicated to the sustainable end of world hunger.
Angelo Ponzetta, CEO of 12 ReTech commented, “We are very excited about the launch of this new mobile-app. Being an omni-channel
technology developer, the 12Sconti APP is a nice example of our solutions for retailers who need to solve a historic challenge in
consumer markets. I have been concerned with the problem of food waste for many years and it would be promising if the 12Sconti APP
could at least point us in the right direction. According to our simulations, the 12Sconti APP could provide a significant boost to
our Company's bottom line in the near future.”
Stefan Guggisberg, CEO of 12 Europe A.G. (12 ReTech’s European Subsidiary) stated, "I believe the consumer will find the
12Sconti APP intuitively easy to use and a valuable and convenient tool to find offers on products and services necessary for daily
life."
Mr. Guggisberg continued, "The rollout of the 12Sconti APP starts in May, 2018 with Wüst Bäckerei + Konditorei AG, a Swiss
bakery group with 12 locations, and Fresh A.G., a wholesaler who supplies fresh produce to thousands of grocery stores. These
retailers have been so excited about 12Sconti that they have already been promoting its launch."
The financial details of the venture involving the 12Sconti APP by these “first mover” merchants has not been disclosed for
competitive reasons.
Mr. Ponzetta added, "The launch of the 12Sconti APP is the first step in our plans to help retailers increase the number of
shoppers in their stores while solving various problems faced by perishable goods vendors around the globe. We look forward to
discussing our next technology releases in greater detail in the near future."
