Organization
Cutaia Media Group, LLC (“CMG”) was organized on December 12, 2012, as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Nevada. On May 19, 2014, bBooth, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. On May 19, 2014, CMG merged into bBooth, Inc. and, thereafter, bBooth, Inc. changed its name to bBooth (USA), Inc., effective as of October 16, 2014.
On October 16, 2014, bBoothUSA was acquired by Global System Designs, Inc. (“GSD”), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement entered into with GSD (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). GSD was incorporated in the state of Nevada on November 27, 2012. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger transaction. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, GSD’s management was replaced by bBoothUSA’s management, and GSD changed its name to bBooth, Inc. The operations of CMG and bBooth (USA), Inc. became known as, and are referred to herein as, “bBooth USA.”
Effective April 21, 2017, we changed our corporate name from bBooth, Inc. to nFüsz, Inc. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger of nFüsz, Inc., our wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, formed solely for the purpose of the name change, with and into us. We were the surviving entity. To effectuate the merger, we filed Articles of Merger and a Certificate of Correction (relative to the effective date of the name change merger) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 4, 2017, and April 17, 2017, respectively. The merger became effective on April 21, 2017. Our board of directors approved the merger, which resulted in the name change on that date. In accordance with Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, stockholder approval of the merger was not required.
Our Business
We are an applications services provider marketing cloud-based business software products on a subscription basis. Our flagship product, notifiCRM, is a Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) application that is distinguishable from other CRM programs because it utilizes interactive video as the primary means of communication between sales and marketing professionals and their clients or prospects. notifiCRM allows our users to create, distribute, and post interactive videos that contain on-screen interactive icons, buttons, and other elements, that when clicked, allow their prospects and customers to respond to our users’ call to action in real-time, in the video, while the video is playing, without leaving or stopping the video. Our users report increased sales conversion rates compared to traditional, non-interactive video. We developed the proprietary interactive video technology, which serves as the basis for our cloud, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products and services that we market under the brand name “notifi” and they are accessible on all mobile and desktop devices. No download is required to access and use our applications. Our users also have access to detailed analytics in the application dashboard that reflect when the videos were viewed, by whom, how many times, for how long, and what interactive elements were clicked-on in the video, among other things, all of which assist our users in focusing their sales and marketing efforts by identifying which clients or prospects have interest in the subject matter of the video.
Our notifiCRM platform can accommodate any size campaign or sales organization, and it is enterprise-class scalable to meet the needs of today’s global organizations. We are working with our vendors to ensure that it is so scalable based upon our current agreements with them. We offer stand-alone versions of our notifiCRM product on a subscription basis to individual consumers, sales-based organizations, consumer brands, marketing and advertising agencies, as well as to artists and social influencers. We also offer notifiCRM through a network of partners and resellers that include Oracle/NetSuite and Marketo, who offer notifiCRM to their respective clients and customers as an upgrade to their existing Oracle/NetSuite or Marketo subscriptions. notifiCRM is fully integrated into each of their platforms and upon payment of the upgrade fee, is accessible through the respective dashboards of Oracle/NetSuite and Marketo. We are actively developing integrations of notifiCRM into other popular marketing, CRM, and Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) platforms.
Our notifiMED application is designed for physicians and other healthcare providers to create more efficient and effective interactive communications with patients. Patients are able to avoid unnecessary and inconvenient visits to their physicians’ or other healthcare providers’ offices by viewing and responding to interactive videos through in-video, on-screen clicks that are designed to assess the patients’ need for an office visit. If the patient’s responses to the interactive video indicate that an office visit is either necessary or desirable, the patient can schedule the office visit right in through video in real time. Patients can also download and print prescriptions, care instructions, and other physician distributed documents right from and through the video. notifiMED is offered on a subscription basis.
Our notifiEDU application is designed for teachers and school administrators for more effective communications with students, parents, and faculty. notifiEDU allows teachers to deliver interactive lessons to students which are both more engaging and more effective. notifiEDU allows teachers to communicate with students through their mobile devices and computers to deliver lessons and tests/quizzes on the screen and in the video. The analytics capabilities of notifiEDU available on the dashboard of the teacher or school administrator allows them to track which students watched the lesson, when, for how long, how many times, and track and report on test/quiz results. notifiEDU is offered on a subscription basis.
Our notifiTV and notifiLIVE products are also part of our proprietary interactive video platform that allows viewers to interact with pre-recorded as well as live broadcast video content by clicking on links embedded in on-screen people, objects, graphics, or sponsors’ signage. Viewers can experience our notifiTV and notifiLIVE interactive content and capabilities on most devices available in the market today without the need to download special software or proprietary video players. |
