“The partnership with Square is a major milestone for Fobi and serves as yet another third-party validation of our capabilities,” said Rob Anson, CEO of Fobi. “Square has led the industry on contactless innovation and their dominance in the SMB category is very well-aligned with the focus and application of Fobi’s products. As a result of COVID-19, businesses have been forced to undergo 20 years of digital transformation in a matter of months. Fobi’s ability to deliver cross-platform and online and offline data analytics and business intelligence powered by AI in real-time will deliver huge value for businesses using Square’s ecosystem of commerce solutions.”

Fobi’s app, now available in the Square App Marketplace, will enable its sellers to gain a real-time understanding of their customers’ purchasing patterns and lifetime value by connecting disparate online and offline data and multiple locations. Fobi will help Square sellers reduce costs and increase profitability by providing access to real-time insights that are based on the purchasing patterns and trends of their customers.

A recent survey by Square shows that 72% of Canadians are looking for socially distanced, cashless ways to support local businesses post-pandemic, and 80% of Canadians are reporting their commitment to buying local is more important now than before the pandemic. Fobi’s new partnership with Square offers North American sellers with even better ways to sell, run and improve their cashless businesses.
