PowerBand Solutions (TSXV: PBX) this morning provided an update to the market with respect to the rollout of DrivrzXchange, a vehicle marketplace platform it has been developing. The platform will reportedly resume rollout across the US in the first quarter of 2022.
The development follows a trial launch of the tech, whereby the company and its partner D2D Auto Auctions conducted a 90-day testing phase in select US markets. The trial saw the use of focus groups to get a better understanding of consumer perspectives and needs for the platform, as it works to improve the overall user experience.
Improvements from the focus groups have lead the company to develop a companion mobile photo app, as well a streamline vehicle data capture and workflow changes.
