Zonetail Signs a Major Agreement with Fortis, and will Soon Generate Revenue From People Paying Their Monthly Rent
Toronto, Canada, July 19, 2022 - Zonetail Inc. (“Zonetail” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ZONE, OTCQB:ZTLLF) announces it has signed its most significant partnership agreement in the past year, with Fortis, a leading payment processing and technology company that operates across the U.S. and Canada.
Zonetail’s mobile platforms are designed for high-rise residential buildings, as well as property-managed townhouses and gated communities. The platforms connect the residents to the amenities and services of their building through the convenience of a mobile application.
Using the Zonetail platforms, residents can access the building’s community news and activity feeds, community calendar, document libraries, and book building amenities, such as visitor parking or the elevator. In addition, residents can create and track maintenance requests, and receive important push notifications from property management. The Zonetail platforms digitize the entire communication process between property management companies and their residents.
Included on the platforms is a marketplace, highlighting the businesses and services in the local area that residents need and want. These businesses pay Zonetail a transactional fee for products and services purchased through the Company’s platforms.
Zonetail is live in over 110,000 households across North America, and is currently onboarding an additional 20,000 units, with over 500,000 new apartment and condo units in its immediate pipeline.
Over the past twelve months, as Zonetail has been executing its rollout, the Company has received several requests from its existing property management clients, (as well as several prospective clients in its pipeline), to introduce payment processing into its platforms. Payment processing allows residents to pay their monthly rent or monthly maintenance dues right through its mobile applications, at the tap of a screen. To do so, Zonetail needed a payment processing partner, and the Company is pleased to announce that it has found one in Fortis.
Fortis’ proprietary payments platform is designed to support and strengthen the commerce capabilities of any software platform. From enabling commerce to creating seamless exchanges and transactions to providing enriched data and expandable experiences, the Fortis platform strengthens the important relationship between software and user.
The introduction of payment processing, mentioned briefly in previous Zonetail corporate updates, creates what is expected to be a significant new revenue stream for the Company. Once launched, Zonetail will generate revenue from every resident paying their monthly rent or monthly maintenance dues who live in participating buildings. With the number of requests from property management companies asking for the service, the Company expects to have quite a few participating buildings.
“This announcement is a big one, and a huge milestone for the Company,” said Mark Holmes, CEO and President of Zonetail. “We’ve been working on this for some time, as our property management clients have been asking for it. They want their tenants to use the Zonetail app for communication, but they don’t want them to have to download and use a second app to pay their rent. They want it all in one, which makes perfect sense. We believe offering this vital feature will not only drive substantial revenue for the Company, but it will also drive an increase in overall adoption and usage of the platform.”
“The Fortis and Zonetail partnership is shaping up to be a game changer in the residential industry,” said Jimmy Nafso, President of Fortis. “The integration of Fortis’ payments platform into Zonetail’s robust solution will give more power to the property manager and increase ease of use for the customer. This new partnership also allows us the opportunity to further expand our footprint into the residential industry with new offerings.”
Holmes went on to say, “We couldn’t be happier to forge this partnership with Fortis. We have known the people at Fortis for several years, through our mutual partnerships with AAHOA. Fortis was looking to expand into the residential space, right as we were searching for a processing partner, so the timing was perfect.”
The Company states that the payment processing feature for its property management clients is step one of the Fortis partnership. Upcoming developments also include (but are not limited to) payment processing for Zonetail’s marketplace. This will allow users to purchase products or services from merchants on the Zonetail platform and place them into a virtual shopping cart. When they ‘check-out’ Fortis handles the payment processing, allowing for additional convenience for Zonetail users, and additional revenue for Zonetail and Fortis.
More news and updates on this major milestone will be issued in future press releases.

Zonetail Signs Another Partnership with Roambuddy, a global company in the data roaming space
Toronto, Canada, June 13, 2022— Zonetail Inc. (“Zonetail” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ZONE, OTCQB:ZTLLF) is pleased to announce that it has signed a partnership agreement with Roambuddy.World Ltd. (“Roambuddy”), a global service provider whose mission is to reduce the exorbitant cost of data roaming.

This mobile and technology-savvy audience have proven to be active adopters of the Zonetail app as all key indicators, property management companies signing on, downloads and monthly active users, all continue to increase at a steady pace.
The Zonetail user base, and immediate addressable market also proves to be an attractive audience for businesses participating on the platform who wish to connect with this large, lucrative, and growing market of high-rise residents.
Currently, Zonetail is live in over 100,000 households, and is in the process of launching an additional 30,000 more units from recent signings. Adding to that, and as a direct result of the early success of the Yardi rollout, the Company is in various stages of negotiations with dozens more property management companies across Canada and the U.S. representing a whopping 500,000 units, and the sales funnel continues to grow.
Advertiser and marketplace network
“Zonetail is perfectly positioned to be a dynamic Market Network and we are thrilled to go on this development journey with them. To that end, we have onboarded NATIONAL - Canada’s leading PR firm, and full-service advertising agency, with 300 professionals based in nine offices from coast to coast - to usher in this new era for the Company and its customers. The addressable market for this evolution is massive,” says Michael Chase of Global Edge Investments. “The underserved high-rise residential marketplace is ripe for development and Zonetail’s Market Network provides a platform that connects people, products, services, and amenities – a nirvana for all high-rise dwellers.”
Market Networks combine elements of network platforms with marketplaces and are producing a new class of unicorn companies, impacting how millions of service professionals will work and earn their living. Market networks are also unique from a monetization standpoint. They combine the strong network effects, defensibility and scalability of direct networks (social media) together with the lucrative revenue models of SaaS or marketplace businesses.

The right team
As Zonetail is executing its new strategy, it has and continues to build a team with experience in technology, multi-residential real estate, and hospitality. Over 2022, the Company expects this team to be key to growing the Zonetail footprint with residents, service providers, and property management companies.
On March 14, 2022, Zonetail announced the hiring of Brian Davies as its Executive Vice-President Sales and Strategic Partnerships. In addition to Brian, the Company has also recently made two additional hires to assist with the workload associated with the Yardi rollout, of what is expected to be thousands of new buildings across the continent.
The tech side
On the technology side, the Company is pleased to announce that it has completed the integration with Thumbtack to provide thousands of home services with hundreds of thousands of service providers across the United States. Residents using the Zonetail platform can now access and book service providers for everything from home cleaning to home renovation and décor, from lawyers to accountants, and piano teachers to dog walkers – you name it. It is expected that this partnership and beautiful integration of Thumbtacks industry leading technology will increase usage of the app, and drive significant revenue for the Company, as Zonetail will receive transaction payments for every single service booked.
Two additional integrations are also being explored, the first to include a feed for local area deals into the app across the Canadian market, and the second, at the request of some of our property management partners, as well as several paid marketplace clients, a payment processing feature that has the potential to add an additional revenue stream. More on these developments in future press releases.
The Company has also recently forged a relationship with Hott Solutions, billed as “Your Real Estate Technology Experts” and based out of Los Angeles, to launch a property management integration help desk to assist in onboarding. Hott is also working on integration opportunities with other property management software companies beyond Yardi and Shiftsuite, which is expected to further increase our already large serviceable market.
Key partnerships in place
To amplify growth in its target markets, Zonetail has forged several key partnerships, and is in the process of forging several more. A few are highlighted below:
Building a Sustainable Moat
- Shiftsuite: one of Canada’s largest property management software providers to the condo industry, with approximately 2,000 condo buildings representing an estimated 400,000 units.
- Yardi: the largest property management software company in North America. The Yardi partnership allows Zonetail direct access to tens of millions of high-rise households, providing immediate scale, and enabling the launch of the Zonetail marketplace.
The Marketplace
- Leading telecommunications providers: strategic partnerships with two leading telecom providers in Canada and the US enabling them to communicate directly to high-rise residents, offering a wide range of residential services, including cable tv bundles, internet and home phone.
- Thumbtack: a modern home management platform that enables residents to book a variety of home services. Thumbtack provides Zonetail with an immediate market network by offering a high-value service option of approximately 5,000 services via one platform.
- Bellhop: a tech-enabled moving company that Zonetail users can access from the app. It streamlines the cost estimation and booking experience for residents while assigning them to the best moving professionals for the job.
- Apollo Insurance: a leading online insurance provider that enables Zonetail’s users to get a quote and purchase from the largest selection of online insurance in Canada.
- Targeting dozens more network partners across the US and Canada in 2022.
“The Zonetail platform creates a new revenue stream for property management companies, a unique experience for users and a win-win proposition for residents and the countless businesses and service providers that want to reach them,” added Mr. Holmes. “We are very pleased with our progress and look forward to a strong 2022.”

I’m thrilled to see him rejoin the team.”
“I had several opportunities to join other much larger companies in an executive/senior sales role, but when the chance arose to rejoin Zonetail, I had to jump at it,” said Davies. “I’ve always believed in what Mark and the team were building, and their growth over the past three years is truly exciting – I’m very pleased to come back and expect to contribute to the Company’s recent success.”

Zonetail Responds to Belgravia Hartford’s Litigation Update
Toronto, Ontario, February 4, 2022— Zonetail Inc. (“Zonetail” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ZONE, OTCQB:ZTLLF) responds to Belgravia Hartford Capital Inc. ("Belgravia") (CSE: BLGV)
Zonetail’s company policy has been to not respond to matters that are before the Courts through press releases. However, due to the material omissions in Belgravia’s recent press release, the Company felt it was important to provide the following facts:
- It was Zonetail, not Belgravia, that initiated the civil proceedings by way of a claim against Belgravia launched in December 2019 for over $5,000,000.
- Zonetail’s claim seeks damages from Belgravia for, among other things, alleged abuse of process, malicious prosecution, breach of contract and Zonetail’s resulting loss of reputation and loss of commercial opportunities.
- Zonetail’s claim arises in part from steps allegedly taken by Belgravia in initiating a bankruptcy application against Zonetail in 2019.
- The Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed Belgravia’s bankruptcy application on consent in August 2020.
Zonetail’s position is that Belgravia’s counterclaim is without merit. Zonetail looks forward to having the claims determined by the Court.

Zonetail Engages Global Edge Investments to Run the “Playbook”
Toronto, Canada, January 18, 2022— Zonetail Inc. (“Zonetail” or the “Company”)) (TSXV:ZONE, OTCQB:ZTLLF) announces it has engaged Global Edge Investments Inc. (“GEI”) to assist the Company in executing its comprehensive new strategy, blueprint and playbook for the burgeoning and lucrative condo and multi-family rental/apartment markets.
The new blueprint and playbook perfectly positions Zonetail to be a dynamic Market Network. Market Networks combine elements of network platforms with marketplaces and are producing a new class of unicorn companies, impacting how millions of service professionals will work and earn their living. Market networks are also unique from a monetization standpoint. They combine the strong network effects, defensibility and scalability of direct networks (social media) together with the lucrative revenue models of SaaS or marketplace businesses.
The execution of this new strategy will address the capital markets, bringing what is anticipated to be substantial value to Zonetail shareholders. It will also provide the necessary development, marketing, and communication tools to assist in the rollout of Zonetail’s Yardi integrated platform - bringing value to Zonetail’s current and expanding userbase, while driving meaningful new recurring services revenue along with the already growing advertising-based revenues.
The implementation of the new blueprint and playbook will facilitate Zonetail’s move to become a unique, integrated, mobile condo & multi-family rental/apartment Market Network platform that dynamically engages and builds customer lifetime value for the condo management market - effortlessly delivering coveted recurring information, products and services to condo & multi-family rental/apartment customers at the tap of a screen.
Zonetail has granted 3,000,000 stock options to GEI at an exercise price of $0.05, as a major component of its compensation, substantially conserving the Company’s cash reserves. The stock options vest over 12 months and expire on January 17, 2024.
“We have worked with Tony Cohen and Michael Chase from GEI for the past seven months, developing an aggressive blueprint and playbook for Zonetail. We are pleased to announce that we have retained their services to assist in the execution of this strategy for 2022,” said Mark Holmes, President and CEO of Zonetail. Holmes went on to say, “For some time now, we have been aware that Zonetail has been riding ‘under-the-wire’ when it comes to the public markets. Generally speaking, ‘The Street’ for the most part, does not know that Zonetail exists. With the execution of this strategy, we expect that to change, and that should excite all our stakeholders.”
“Zonetail has superbly leveraged the condo and high-rise marketplace. They have set an incredible stake in the ground and developed a thriving business around local advertising. They have connected with the biggest condo platforms in North America – like Yardi. Growth of this kind is a great opportunity,” said Tony Cohen, CEO of GEI. Tony went on to iterate, “Zonetail is perfectly positioned to be a dynamic Market Network and we are thrilled to go on this development journey with them and are in the process of onboarding a leading North American agency partner to usher in this new era for the Company and its customers. The addressable market for this evolution is massive.”

Zonetail Signs an Agreement with one of the Largest Telecom Companies in the U.S.
Toronto, Canada, December 15, 2021 (TSXV:ZONE, OTCQB:ZTLLF) — Zonetail Inc. (“Zonetail” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has finalized an agreement with one of the largest telecom companies in the United States, and one of the largest companies in the world, to offer its high-rise residential users direct access to exclusive telecom residential services.
‘Zonetail Home’ is a mobile platform designed for high-rise residential buildings, as well as property-managed townhouses and gated communities. The platform connects the residents to the amenities and services of their building through the convenience of their personal mobile device. ‘Zonetail Home’ is fully integrated with Yardi Voyager, the largest property management software company in North America.
Using ‘Zonetail Home’, residents can access the building’s community news and activity feeds, community calendar, document libraries, and book building amenities, such as visitor parking or the elevator. In addition, residents can create and track maintenance requests, view their ledger and status certificates (for condos), and access links to pay their rent or monthly maintenance dues. It digitizes the communications between property management and the residents.
Included on the ‘Zonetail Home’ platform is an ‘Explore’ section highlighting the businesses and services that residents are in constant need of. These businesses pay Zonetail to be on the platforms to connect with the highly sought, but often difficult to reach, high-rise residents.
Through the Zonetail platform, the telecom company will be a featured partner, right on the landing page, and they will have the ability to communicate directly to residents, offering a wide range of home services, including cable tv bundles, internet and home phone.
"This has been one of the key projects that James Jenkins has been spearheading for several months, and we are very excited to finalize this agreement,” said Mark Holmes, CEO and President of Zonetail. Holmes went on to say, "We executed a similar agreement with one of Canada’s leading telecom companies, and based on that experience, it would be hard to overstate the value that an agreement like this brings to the Company. It goes far beyond revenue.”
“I believe that this agreement once again proves the overall Zonetail value proposition,” said James Jenkins, Zonetail’s Executive Vice President of U.S. Markets. “You don’t sign an agreement with one of the world’s largest corporations, never mind simply getting their attention, if you don’t have something very meaningful to offer.”
Zonetail’s new telecom client has initially provided a target building list which includes approximately 1.5 million households. “That’s where we begin,” said Jenkins.
