- Q3/F18 revenue of $2.145 million was a 144.2% increase from $0.878 million in Q3/F17 and was due to both new customer
acquisition as well as continued solution expansion with the existing customer base;
- Q3/F18 recurring revenue increased 37.0% year-over-year to $0.556 million from $ 0.406 million in Q3/F17, primarily due to
the expanding base of SaaS customers;
- Q3/F18 services revenue was up 151.5% year-over-year to $0.860 million versus $0.342 million in Q3/F17, due to an increase in
billable hours for implementation and delivery of TrackX solutions.
