Yahoo Finance Vuzix (VUZI) Signs Reseller Contract With Purview Services
Vuzix VUZI entered into a reseller agreement with Purview Services. Moreover, VUZI has received a large volume purchase order from Purview, which will distribute Vuzix products to its customers across EMEA and India.
Purview aims to develop tailored artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for industries, including healthcare, utilities, manufacturing, logistics and defense. This partnership will enable Purview to offer AI solutions via Vuzix’s augmented reality (AR) smart glasses for various business challenges like remote surveillance, workforce training, healthcare support and defense collaboration.
Vuzix was struggling with smart glasses sales, as discussed on its third-quarter 2023 earnings call. The lower sales were mainly due to the challenges of order placement timing from its larger channel partners.
