Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated “We are incredibly proud of this new reseller agreement with TELUS and the validation it brings to Loop through their confidence to sell our solutions directly to their customers. We were honoured to be added to the TELUS IoT Marketplace in 2020 but now becoming one of the select few products to be resold as their own to their national client base is the ultimate achievement.
