    - New exclusive distribution partnership expands Spike reach in North America
    -
    
    BROOMFIELD, Colo.--ikeGPS (NZX: IKE) and ND Graphics announce a new
    distribution partnership that introduces Spike, a smart laser measurement
    solution for site surveys and estimations, to the Canadian sign and digital
    graphics market. Under the terms of the agreement, ND Graphics is the
    exclusive reseller of Spike to the sign industry within the Canadian market.
    
    "Spike has witnessed fast adoption in the U.S. sign and digital graphics
    market, including several distribution partnerships," says Jeff Ross, chief
    marketing officer of ikeGPS. "When defining our Canadian go-to-market
    strategy, we knew ND Graphics was the right reseller partner to represent
    Spike. ND Graphics has a national Canadian footprint, large active customer
    base and an outstanding reputation in the industry. ND Graphics represents
    our first Spike reseller relationship outside of the U.S."
    
    One of the largest suppliers in Canada, ND Graphics now stocks more than
    4,000 products, serves more than 10,000 customers from coast to coast, and
    makes more than 100,000 customer deliveries each year. In addition, ND
    Graphics runs 10 stocking locations across Canada in Dartmouth, Montreal,
    Ottawa, Toronto, London, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary and
    Vancouver. Given how quickly the sign and digital graphics market has
    advanced over recent years, Mark West, president of ND Graphics, believes
    that offering the industry's most innovative products, such as Spike, has
    been key to the company's success.
    
    "We're so excited to offer Spike that we're immediately outfitting all of our
    sales reps with the device," West says. "Spike goes a long way in helping our
    customers work more efficiently, which drives down their customer-acquisition
    costs. In fact, Spike is such a powerful tool that it should only take our
    customers a few uses before the device pays for itself."
    
    With Spike, sign and digital graphics professionals can quickly capture
    accurate measurements of the width, height and area of signage locations from
    a smartphone or tablet picture. A ladder, bucket truck and tape measure are
    no longer required to create estimates, saving sign companies time and
    overhead costs on a traditionally lengthy process.
    
    The measurements of the sign or graphic location are saved with the Spike
    photo and can be shared with customers, designers or production team to
    create job estimates and design proofs, assess installation and complete
    permit applications. If additional measurements are needed, users can refer
    to their saved Spike photos at any time to make modifications. There's no
    need to return to the site for further measurements or estimations.
    
    To learn more about Spike, interested sign and digital graphics shops should
    contact their local ND Graphics sales rep or the ND Graphics customer service
    department at 1-888-634-7274.
