“A long-term client approached us looking for a Direct to Consumer (D2C) solution in order to get their product to consumers across Canada. Luckily, we had recently implemented SOLOCHAIN from Generix. With the participation of the amazing internal team at TLS/Emblem, combined with the experience and knowledge of the Generix team, we were confident we could meet our client’s requirements.
