9 Spokes International Ltd (ASX:9SP) expects to more than double annual revenue by the end of the first quarter of 2018.
Significantly, the company’s revised annualised recurring revenue (ARR) target is NZ$6 million to NZ$7 million, up from the previous target of NZ$3 million.
The 100%-130% increase has been primarily attributed to licence fees from major new client Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) (TSE:RY).
