Visionstate Inc.'s WANDA Authorized by Compass Group, Support Services

Visionstate Inc., a division of CSM Systems Corp (TSX VENTURE:CKX), and Compass
Group, Support Services (CGSS) have successfully completed a pilot deployment of
the WANDA product in North America. As a result, Visionstate and CGSS have
entered into an agreement for Visionstate to act as the preferred supplier of
the Washroom Attendant Notification Digital Aid ("WANDA"), at many CGSS client
facilities.


Compass Group provides premium support services under its sector brands:
Crothall Healthcare, Eurest Services, and SSC, in both Canada and the United
States. The WANDA is a product that will separate their service offering from
the competition.


According to Rich Feczko, National Director of Systems, Standards, Innovation,
and Global Support, providing the WANDA reinforces the passion we have for
providing innovative solutions in sanitation and infection control.
"Visionstate's WANDA is the perfect answer to monitoring and maintaining the
cleanliness of our customers' restrooms. While our duty rosters specify
regularly scheduled service and inspections of these important, highly-visible
areas, we have no way of knowing if they need emergency cleaning or stocking.
With the WANDA solution, we can now optimize our ability to track, trend and
expend resources, ensuring that guests receive the most-timely service
possible."


The WANDA transforms a regular restroom into a smart restroom. Visionstate Inc.,
known for its innovative uses of interactive portals, has developed this
interactive touchscreen device with an antimicrobial overlay, to facilitate
effective management of restroom resources while tracking those resources and
compiling information through service logs and alerts.


Additionally, since the touchscreen is mounted immediately outside a restroom,
it allows patrons to notify management of any service requirements in a restroom
with a touch of the screen, without dialing a phone number or locating a staff
member. Staff responses and activities onsite are recorded once issues are
resolved and submitted.


All of the information is recorded and viewable online so management can track
resources and service to their customer.


"It is energizing to have such a prestigious company, express so much interest
and support for the innovative technology that is WANDA. Technology has advanced
so rapidly in the last few years that there are many uses for it that were never
possible before, whether due to cost or technological capabilities. This shift
allowed Visionstate to create the idea for WANDA, but it takes a forward
thinking organization like Compass Support Services to recognize its value,
making us very optimistic as to the future of this relationship."


John Putters, CEO/President, Visionstate Inc

The WANDA system was deployed as a pilot project by Crothall Healthcare across
multiple properties in North America, including Mount Sinai Hospital (New York,
NY), North York General Hospital (Toronto, ON), St Vincent Infirmary (Little
Rock, AR), and Freeman Hospital (Joplin, MO), among others. The Pilot project
met with great success and is now being considered for other properties across
the Compass Group support services portfolio.
