Comments from the CEO
We have now raised enough capital to, for the first time ever, have enough liquidity to set a long-term and sustainable plan for the company. With all the new changes to the medication robot, we have now also got all of our partners to approve the new Dosell.
This has meant that during the fourth quarter we increased production significantly and produced at a higher rate than ever to meet market demand. We end the year with an increase in sales compared to the previous quarter, a clear indication that we have now started selling and that the market sees the value in our product. The difference from before is that we have done the preparatory work that was required, and we have thus created the conditions for us to now really enter an active sales phase.
We have now launched Europe’s first consumer version of a medication robot. We have also been able to deliver the right medicine at the right time over 3,000 times to consumers in Sweden and have established ourselves in a country outside the Nordic region.
Our major marketing investment on the consumer side will begin at the end of February and the beginning of March with TV advertising in a number of channels and a number of other marketing activities and exciting collaborations. We are now working intensively to support our partners by increasing the sales rate and that everyone keeps a high focus on Dosell.
A sub-strategy so far has been to wait to enter new markets until existing partners are up and running and have fully approved our product. As this has now been achieved, we will shortly begin the work of prioritizing in a well-balanced way which new markets the company will begin to enter, with both existing partners and new ones. We already have several interesting tracks in new partners and markets, and we look forward to starting sales work there as well. Dosell is the basis of our strategy where we must ensure “the right medication at the right time” and with the help of this also be able to demonstrate the health effects in order to create a healthier, safer and more sustainable way for everyone to medicate.
In conclusion, it is positive to note that the pandemic is increasingly releasing its grip on society and business. For the company, this meant that more meetings could take place between colleagues, customers and partners during the quarter. We are now also working more proactively to have more digital meetings and digital e-training. I am enthusiastic about the progress we have made during the year and now we have initiated sales and marketing activities according to the plan we set. We still have a lot to do, and thanks to what we achieved in the last quarter of 2021, we now have the opportunity to accelerate significantly. We have now laid the basic conditions for becoming the obvious choice of digital aid to enable a healthier, safer and more independent life for the millions of people who multi-medicate in Sweden and the world.
