IntelliHR's successful first quarter

The IntelliHR share price is taking off today after the company announced record quarterly sales and revenue growth.

The quarter just been saw IntelliHR's annual reoccurring revenue reach $776,000. It also generated $225,000 from professional services.

Further, 43% of the company's new revenue was generated from overseas customers. The company said this highlights its global potential and validates its sales channel.

IntelliHR won 33 new contracts over the first quarter.  As of 30 September, it had 43,784 contracted subscribers. Additionally, IntelliHR boasted 100% customer retention for the quarter.

Likely helping the IntelliHR share price today, is news the company has welcomed its first customer from the enterprise hotel and tourism market.

Jamaican-based Couples Resort signed up to use the company's software to help support more than 1600 of its team members. Couples Resort's contract is expected to bring in between $180,000 and $220,000 for IntelliHR.

Of the Couple Resort's contract, IntelliHR's Americas president and chief customer officer Glenn Donaldson said:

With the world gradually returning to normality, the tourism industry and hotel industry have become a key strategic focus with IntelliHR's HR process configurability well positioned to support the personalised and culturally focused needs of this sector.
