Puget to Introduce Proprietary Software that Utilizes Artificial Intelligence to Optimize Distribution and Transportation Systems
Posted on Friday April 30, 2021

Innovation holding company plans to solve logistics challenges with AIBOCA RATON, Fla., April 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Puget Technologies, Inc. (“Puget”; OTC PINK: PUGE), a Nevada corporation subject to reporting pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, announces that the company’s Chief Technologies Officer (CTO), Victor Germán Quintero Toro has contributed proprietary software to Puget, subject to retained royalty rights, designed to improve the functioning of logistics in transportation and distribution systems. The methodology involved is believed to be unique and subject to protection as trade secrets, however, Puget may elect to reinforce such protection through patents in the near future. “The solutions currently available in the marketplace to manage distribution and transportation logistics are limited to just a few specifically customized applications. In contrast, Puget’s software can solve extremely complex problems for its end users by customizing the myriad of variables not currently included in out-of-the-box modular software. It does so in a seamlessly integrated environment without the need for additional capital expenditures. By data mining in big data environments with advanced artificial intelligence algorithms and other proprietary trade secrets, Puget’s newly acquired software is the only technology on the market today, in my opinion, that supports the majority of variables that affect these end users,” commented Mr. Quintero Toro. “Designed specifically to seamlessly integrate functionality within the big data environments of existing distribution and transportation systems, the software does not replace existing technology. One of the main advantages of this solution is the optimization of company’s operations since this software complements and enhances existing platforms to deliver efficiencies, enabling cost reduction without the need for a significant capital outlay. I’m looking forward to commercializing this technology with Puget’s assistance,” Mr. Quintero Toro explained. Mr. Quintero Toro’s past experience working to solve similar problems at Walmart distribution centers around the world contributed to the domain expertise needed to come up with such an innovative, integrated solution. The software has already been beta tested in the public transportation system of the City of Manizales in the Republic of Colombia, where it achieved a 30% reduction in hydrocarbon emissions as a result of better route management. The beta test results were presented at the Congreso Latino-Iberoamericano de Investigacion de Operaciones (CLAIO), and a summary was published in the publication Annals of Operations Research and in the Journal of Heuristics. Puget intends to commercialize this technology through licensing agreements, leveraging Puerto Rico as a springboard for rollout to Latin America and other parts of the world. The transportation and distribution problems on the Island, aggravated by unfortunate recent weather disasters, provide an opportunity for the technology to make a significant positive impact there. In addition, because of the substantial incentives provided by the Puerto Rico Incentives Code (Law No. 60 of July 1, 2019), Puget believes that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico would be an ideal site as a worldwide research and development center, which will enable Puget to have a local presence as the team works directly with local business and government leaders to improve the Island’s infrastructure.

Posted on Friday April 23, 2021

BOCA RATON, Fla., April 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Puget Technologies, Inc. (“Puget”; OTC PINK: PUGE), a Nevada corporation subject to reporting pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, announces that, because of the resurgence of the Covid 19 pandemic on the Island of Puerto Rico and related advisories on travel and gatherings, it has reluctantly decided to move the site of the annual meeting to Puget’s headquarters in Boca Raton (1200 North Federal Highway, Suite 200-A; Boca Raton, Florida 33432), subject to moving the event to a larger venue in that city if indications of participation warrant such a move. The meeting will also be accessible virtually from our website. Although the new date has yet to be determined, it is anticipated that the event will occur in the latter part of May in order to provide those interested in attending time to make travel arrangements. The change in location is in no manner indicative of a change in Puget’s interest in active engagement in and with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, where it finds the opportunities provided by the Puerto Rico Incentives Code Act (Act 60-2019) and of personal relationships with important Commonwealth business and civic leaders to be extremely attractive. In fact, Puget has just retained the renowned management recruitment firm, Careers, Inc., with offices at 208 Avenida Ponce de León, Suite 1100, San Juan Puerto Rico 00918-1036, to assist in the recruitment of appropriate local personnel, who in collaboration with Puget’s current personnel based in the Republic of Colombia (it’s Chief Technologies Officer as well as the coordinating member of its Board of Advisors) will help Puget-related businesses penetrate Latin American markets from the company’s international operational headquarters in San Juan. Puget’s Chief Executive Officer, Hermann Burckhardt, CEO, explained, “We look forward to moving on our ambitious plans for a meaningful presence in the Commonwealth by year’s end and in our opinion, Careers, Inc., is the perfect organization to help us find and retain the best people available. We expect to have additional details next week. Additionally, we expect to have additional news next week, including information with respect to testing of apps in Puerto Rico designed by our Chief Technologies Officer, to facilitate and improve medical services and provide more efficient and reliable transportation systems in the region."
