There is a tremendous team of experienced professionals in place under the leadership of highly respected industry veteran CEO Vinod Baliga that will allow us to quickly implement new customer contracts to grow revenue, pursue targeted acquisitions and expand organically through the opening of new stations. BIG's CEIV pharmaceutical accreditation and in-development web and smartphone Smart Pharma Chain application addresses many of the supply chain issues we are all facing today with COVID-19 and continued supply chain challenges."
