VoltSafe Inc. is located in Vancouver, BC, Canada and produces magnetic plugs for vehicles and homes. VoltSafe’s patented technology is the first outlet to be created to enable outlets worldwide to be safe, sustainable and smart while allowing for an easy and secure electric connection. VoltSafe’s technology is a smart outlet with its electrical contacts always exposed and de-energized. When the plug sides magnetically connect together, it actuates the flow of electricity. When the two parts pull apart, electricity flow immediately stops. VoltSafe’s patented technology acts like a ‘gate-keeper’ and never allows electricity to flow unless all contacts on the respective plugs are touching simultaneously (VoltSafe LinkedIn). VoltSafe’s design is revolutionizing the way the world connects to electricity (VoltSafe.com).
After 6+ years of research and development, the innovative technology behind the world’s first prong-less electrical plug is now Safety Certified and ready for market. VoltSafe entered the commercialization phase of its technology in June 2020. The company aims to build out the required systems in marketing and customer success for B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Customer).
The objectives of this project are to support the business team with B2B support, prospecting, and sales-related efforts.
