LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Software developer IQGeo said on Monday that it had narrowed full-year losses and expects to show good growth across all key metrics in its 2020 trading results.
IQGeo anticipates that revenue for the year will be no less than £9.0m, up from £7.8m in the prior year, with its own product revenues expected to grow approximately 30% to more than £7.0m as own product orders increased 42% to £10.7m.
