The Company has developed and uses industry leading e-commerce technology including on-site AI through its wholly owned subsidiary, Findify AB ("Findify.io"), that personalizes the online user experience for every customer.

Cannmart's platform, following the same strategy will offer patients access to the largest variety of cannabis products sourced from multiple vendors in a single location. With innovations like NamasteMD, Findify and Cannmart's online platform, the Company has created a fully-integrated patient experience from prescription to delivery. Cannmart will be one of the first online retailers to offer same-day delivery service through its partner, Pineapple Express Delivery Inc. ("Pineapple Express"), starting with the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and expanding across the country. This Supply Agreement represents further progress in Namaste positioning itself as Canada's leader for cannabis e-commerce and technology.
