(TSX VENTURE:VENZ) ("Venzee" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Trans Globe Lighting, a leading manufacturer of residential lighting to retailers including Walmart, Amazon, and The Home Depot, is expanding its use of Venzee to support its 100+ additional retailers.

Peter Mackay, CEO of Venzee, commented, "Venzee represents substantial return on investment for both vendors and retailers by removing an unnecessary step from their product workflow. By removing this step, Venzee eliminates human error, reduces human resources, and increases margins which is critical for e-commerce businesses to be successful."

"We're thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Trans Globe Lighting, who have utilized our platform not only to update some of their largest retailers, but to sync with their supply chain in China. They're a great example of a forward-thinking brand in the residential lighting space", added Mr. Mackay.
