Combining digital and human intelligence to deliver brilliant service and increase profits

March 29, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

The next step in the evolution of mobile ordering solutions for hospitality – a new concept to enhance service, customer experience and profitability.

Intelligent Mobile Service by Crave Interactive
Crave Interactive Logo

March 2021, Crave Interactive, a leading global hospitality technology company, release their latest whitepaper titled “How to profit from Intelligent Mobile Service.”

Based on expertise developed through 12 years of experience, this whitepaper outlines the opportunities opening up for hospitality businesses and how a new concept of Intelligent Mobile Service is the next step in the evolution of mobile ordering that will enhance person-to-person service, customer experience and profitability.

From proven methods of digital menu optimization and up-selling to personalization, customer engagement and price optimization, operators will find actionable insights to thrive in an industry where mobile service is now not only preferred but expected.

“At Crave, we believe the coming years will see the advent of intelligent mobile service, using data and human intelligence to provide an even better, more personalised service, seamlessly blending digital with human service, while providing hospitality businesses with the tools to significantly increase sales and profits.”
Crave CEO, Gareth Hughes

Crave is on a mission to deliver this vision and can help hospitality businesses embark on the journey towards realising the full potential of the rapid adoption of mobile order and pay solutions across the sector.

The whitepaper includes illuminating results from Crave’s 2021 mobile service opinion survey which attracted over 4,400 respondents. Significantly, 81% said they would like to continue to use these systems post-pandemic. Respondents expressed similarly strong views on how they’d like to see mobile ordering services develop in the future.

Every hospitality business strives to attract new customers, increase visit frequency and spend per head, as well as control costs whilst also delivering a great service that drives customer experience, engagement and loyalty. Crave believes the next step in the evolution of mobile ordering solutions will help deliver these often elusive objectives for operators.

The World First Smart Ring for Sports and Fitness

March 28, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Harness the power of your smart phone or smart watch without ever looking at it.

London, U.K. (1st March 2021) The world’s first smart ring specifically designed for single-handed sports and fitness use was launched at digital CES in January and digital ISPO in February 2021. Developed by ArcX Technology, a UK-based sport tech start-up, the ring is designed to be worn on the index finger and controlled with the thumb.  Connected via Bluetooth to any smartphone, the ring allows users to store phones in a pocket or backpack, controlling playlists and other phone functions simply and easily, even when wearing gloves.

ArcX was selected as one of the five finalists in the CES Last Gadget Standing competition and has been hailed as one of 2021’s best new products by the judges at ISPO, the world’s largest sports trade show.

ArcX is made from medical grade silicone and houses a micro joystick inside a water and shock proof inner case. The inner case can be swapped among different sized rings or a watch type strap that allows the user to attach the device to a handlebar, paddle or other piece of sports equipment.

The ring boasts an impressive 20 day stand by with a battery that delivers five days of normal use from a one-hour charge time, plus it’s waterproof to IP67 standard and drop tested from 5 1/2 ft / 1.7 meters.

ArcX rings work really well on their own, connecting in seconds to any smartphone or other device such as sports cameras and wireless speakers. An intuitive App is available, free on both Android and iOS platforms, that provides a host of customisable options and additional features such as a stopwatch, an emergency SOS call function as well as the ability to connect with other sports-based Apps.

ArcX will start shipping in August 2021 in three colours, blue, black and orange. The rings are on sale now on Kickstarter in the UK, EU and USA priced at £79, €89 and $99 respectively. A roll out to other countries will follow. Each product ships with four interchangeable stretch fit outer ring cases, a handlebar mount, charging clip and carry case.

ArcX Technology was founded in 2019 and comprises a team of engineers, designers, athletes and military veterans headquartered in London, UK with offices in St Petersburg Florida. Paul Blair, the CEO and founder, is a decorated British Army Officer having completed seven tours of duty as a paratrooper in a career spanning over twenty years. Commenting on his inspiration for ArcX, Paul said: “An Army buddy injured himself on a skiing holiday. I spent the rest of the trip skiing alone listening to music. If I wanted to adjust the volume, change track or answer a phone call I had to stop, take a glove off and retrieve the phone from inside my jacket to perform the operation, before replacing everything to carry on.  Paul added “I had similar experiences with other activities like cycling, kayaking and in the gym. I couldn’t find any wearable tech device or phone accessory that solved this basic problem so I decided to build one.”

Kumar Bala, CTO and co-founder is an experienced technology entrepreneur having brought several consumer electronic products to market during his career. Kumar said, “we set about designing an intuitive and robust product that would provide ‘first time, every time’ control where other interfaces fail.”

Kumar continues: “our research found that controlling ear buds with sweaty fingers while running is difficult. Taking one hand off an indoor rowing machine or a bicycle handlebar to control a phone is frustrating. Voice control doesn’t work when out of breath or on a windy day and the touch screen or small buttons on smartwatches are impossible to use when wearing gloves or if the watch is worn underneath protective clothing”. The new ArcX ring is designed to remove all those barriers to the benefits of easily manageable personal music while exercising.

For many people, the thought of exercising in silence is unimaginable: the ring is designed for those who need, and love, to listen to music while engaged in any one of a host of different sports. Whether it’s for motivation, inspiration or distraction, listening to music can make all the difference to improving training performance or making exercise more enjoyable. A 2016 survey conducted by Runner’s World, found that 82% of those runners polled said they listen to music while running.  Research from the School of Sport and Education at the UK’s Brunel University has shown that listening to music during exercise can reduce the rate of perceived effort by 12% and improve endurance by 15%.

ArcX is hugely versatile. It can connect to any other Bluetooth enabled device to act as a ‘hands free’ controller for sports cameras and wireless speakers. It’s ideal for instructors who incorporate music into their fitness classes as they can now focus on their students and no longer have to take their phone out of a pocket to change a playlist or adjust the volume.

There is also a health and safety benefit to a smart ring like this particularly for those activities that involve speed such as skiing, snowboarding and cycling. Using cell phones or other mobile devices while riding creates a visual distraction and prevents cyclists from holding their handlebars properly and watching the road for signs of danger. A 2017 ‘Distracted Biking’ study, published in the USA, found that up to 40% of cycle accidents were caused by distracted cyclists who were often either looking at their cell phone or holding it so as to prevent them from gripping their handlebars correctly.  The same distraction problem also applies to other sports including running in both urban and rural areas where runners focus on their device and literally run into someone or something.

ArcX will accept an incoming call with a touch of the joystick and with a five second press and hold makes an outgoing SOS call, set as a default to local emergency services (based on the phone’s geolocation). The App allows this out going call feature to be customised so that family and friends’ numbers can be called instead and not necessarily in the case of an emergency but as a convenience option.

In addition to making certain sports and activities safer Paul Blair said “most of us spend way too much time looking at our laptops and phones. ArcX enables us to take a well-deserved break from staring at a screen and get active while listening to the music we enjoy.” Paul added “2020/21 have been really tough years for all of us; maintaining physical and mental health is more important than ever. If our product can help motivate someone to get active, that will be incredible.” The ArcX product video is at: https://vimeo.com/489944141

ArcX smart rings are available now to purchase at a 40% discount on Kickstarter – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcx/arcx-a-smart-ri….

Meet the Business Tech Company Boosting Sales Teams’ Productivity

March 25, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Relationship selling. It’s an art form that top salespeople need to master in order to keep upping their skill sets. But they can’t do it easily in today’s competitive, busy environment. Why? Chalk up the problem to all those administrative, repetitive duties that clutter and clog their to-do lists.

How bad is the problem? Estimates suggest that professionals spend just 39% of their days engaged in activities dedicated to their actual role. For perspective, that’s the equivalent of nearly 15 hours in a typical 40-hour workweek. That other 61% translates to time spent on busywork. They create proposals, content, and messages from scratch. They set up and reorganize their calendars. They copy and paste items from personal spreadsheets into CRM portals. All the while, they’re missing opportunities to engage in one-on-one communications and improve their conversions, not to mention overall productivity.

Of course, it’s impossible for any salesperson to completely avoid paperwork or other responsibilities that don’t produce profits. Nevertheless, non-client-facing jobs don’t have to eat up companies’ profits day after day. Fortunately, they don’t have to because one big tech provider, Mixmax, is focused on serving up solutions that remove common obstacles to selling.

Humans crave human contact-particularly from salespeople

The Mixmax philosophy focuses on automating and streamlining as many repetitive tasks as possible. However, unlike other similar SaaS providers, Mixmax concentrates on helping clients retain the human touch. This enables salespeople to leverage technology to boost what they’re best at, which is building and maintaining trust. And trust can only come from personalized, human-to-human communication.

Quite honestly, personalization matters more than ever. In today’s high-tech world, prospects appreciate being able to receive individualized attention from salespeople. In fact, they’re very attuned to when they’re getting treated as one-in-a-million instead of one-out-a-million. Plus, most consumers can sniff out robotic-sounding platitudes and poorly programmed AI chatbots in a heartbeat. This is the reason Mixmax’s programming serves as a way to augment salespeople’s routine processes that already work, not overshadow those protocols.

Take email sequences that are working beautifully, for instance. Obviously, salespeople don’t want to make major changes if they’re getting “bites” off emails. Nonetheless, they might wonder if they can make a great email chain even better. The answer is often “yes,” but only with a degree of personalization. That’s where Mixmax comes into the picture.

Mixmax helps sales personnel construct carefully worded email templates that can be deployed at pre-specified times. Yet the emails aren’t just “set it and forget it” comminiques. Instead, Mixmax’s programming allows salespeople to add customized touches to all emails. In other words, the emails sound genuine and relevant-even if parts of them are templated.

A boatload of solutions to offset the workload

Mixmax offers other ways for salespeople to reduce redundancies without reducing a sense of warmth or camaraderie, too. These solutions include presenting prospects with one-click calendar scheduling, which removes the need for wasted back-and-forth texts or emails. In a matter of seconds, current and potential clients can make an appointment with a sales representative. It’s convenient, friendly, and fast.

Another advantage to using the Mixmax system is the ability to add and update rules in widely used software platforms like Salesforce. These rules can kickstart information sharing based on an inputted data string. Case in point: No more pinging the account manager after a sales closing. The Account Manager will instantly get an update thanks to the newly created rule.

Without a doubt, all the benefits provided by Mixmax point straight to a surge in productivity. That’s a welcome reality for sales teams frustrated by a seemingly insurmountable plateau caused by time-wasters like redundant work.

Productivity beyond the sales department

Salespeople aren’t the only professionals who can benefit from Mixmax’s technical advantage. Other professionals can find something to cheer about when it comes to Mixmax’s versatility. For example, siloed teams, startups, and legacy organizations can use Mixmax’s product menu lineup to improve productivity and efficiency levels. Even entrepreneurs and thought leaders can get more done during the week by working smarter through powerful automation.

At the end of the day, humans will always be needed, especially when it comes to providing sales and service. Mixmax realizes this and offers a fast way to improve any professional’s success by eliminating duplicate efforts and freeing time for old-fashioned conversations.

Prince Edward County-based Software Start-up Aims to Upgrade Municipal Linear Asset Management with the Release of RoadWRX Mobile Application

March 24, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Prince Edward County-based software development company Wooden Horse Software is pleased to announce the beta release of their latest mobile product, RoadWRX, a linear asset management solution, developed in conjunction with industry professionals. RoadWRX is a solution that seeks to improve and simplify the field reporting process to augment budgetary planning for Municipalities across Ontario.

Small- to medium-sized municipalities interested in streamlining their budget and funding process are encouraged to reach out to RoadWRX to join the beta program.

Ontario municipalities are required to perform routine checks on roads throughout their jurisdiction on a regular basis. The current methodology requires technicians in the employ of the municipality or engineering firms to complete detailed field reports on the state of every road section, which can number in the thousands, and to provide a summary for budget forecasting. These reports are typically performed on spreadsheets or paper, with historical information only available in the office.

The RoadWRX solution provides a cloud-based repository for road infrastructure data input with historical Section Summary (where available) for review when conducting field reports. Not only does this standardize the input of field data, but it also allows for a more objective analysis of road engineering maintenance, resurfacing & reconstruction requirements.

Also, features like watermarking road defect photos with GIS location data allow for future integration of AI/Machine Learning enhancements. The application also includes a top-level matrix for internal communications between all levels of the road management organization through the application, participants can email, text, call or video conference with senior road management advisors. Additional functionality includes tracking of searches and engagements by participants to further enhance training, skill development and resource management.

For more information about RoadWRX, or to join our beta program, visit RoadWRX online at roadwrx.ca, or contact the sales team at media@roadwrx.ca

Looking for additional advice on an event or wardrobe, book a video chat session for a more in-depth fashion overhaul.

On the launch of the app, SelfieStylist CEO Lana Ashby Rowder said, “I wanted to eliminate hours of frustration we face in closets and dressing rooms where we second guess every outfit choice asking boyfriends, family and even strangers for advice on what to wear. I knew an app that provided a stylist in the time it takes to send a text was the answer for many of those who freeze in the face of fashion.” From first dates outfits to what to wear to weddings, SelfieStylist will connect you with an experienced stylist who will ensure your look not only matches the proper trends, but aligns with your goals, figure, and comfort.

How the app works:

  • After selecting your need for fashion assistance, you are provided with an opportunity to upload selfies or to schedule a video chat (for the soft launch, pricing follows $10 per event wardrobe session or $25 to book a video chat with a stylist).
  • You are then directed to enter more information about your fashion problem. What, when and where is the event, how do you want to look and feel and is there anything you want your stylist to know.
  • Communication with a stylist ready to help with your fashion quandary will follow within fifteen minutes of completion (available 9AM-10PM CST).
  • The app also features a “Shop My Closet” tab where stylists will highlight looks they love allowing you to follow and shop your stylist’s favorite looks.

CIT GAP Funds Invests in Linebird to Bring the Unmanned Systems Revolution to High Voltage Power Lines

March 24, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Company’s use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to make contact with live power lines improves safety and reduces costs of grid maintenance and monitoring

The Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) today announced that CIT GAP Funds has invested in Richmond, Va.-based Linebird, developer of an unmanned aerial systems (UAS) solution that makes contact with live power lines, addressing the safety concerns of grid maintenance and monitoring. Linebird is transforming the way power transmission infrastructure is inspected and maintained in a safer way with the use of drone technology. The company will use this investment to prepare its technology for product launch by the end of the year.

Power line inspection and maintenance is one of the most dangerous jobs in the U.S., with lineman fatality rates close to those of law enforcement and construction workers. Specifically, work on high-altitude, energized infrastructure is the most hazardous part of line work and requires capital equipment such as helicopters for crew access. Linebird is addressing these risks by offering UAS payload systems that enable unmanned work in contact with live lines, greatly reducing cost and liability of operations and maintenance.

“Linebird is transforming the way power transmission infrastructure is inspected and maintained. We are reducing risk factors for work that is traditionally handled by a manned crew, which can now be done remotely or autonomously,” said Michael Beiro, Founder and CEO of Linebird. “Our mission is to continue innovating and improving UAS technology so that jobs such as manually running diagnostics and conducting repairs on live power lines can be done without human contact. We thank CIT GAP Funds for their support and financial investment, which is contributing to our plans for rapid growth.”

Linebird’s modular suspended payload system allows direct-contact, live-line work without the high-risk use of helicopters and linemen. The solution can adjust to accommodate many industrial drones, and the system can adopt other linemen tools to do inspection, maintenance and repair. Their first use case adapts the SensorLink OhmStikTM, a well-known lineman’s tool for evaluating power line connections, to UAS deployment, providing an innovative way to enable power grid reliability and resilience. This allows existing manned utility crews to focus on higher value and lower risk operations.

“With jobs in the utilities industry being one of the top 10 most fatal in the country, Linebird is well-positioned to address a critical market need.

Popular RV Camping Alternative Launches New Mobile App

March 22, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

A popular RV community that connects RVers with private homeowners who allow them to park for free now has an app available in the App Store and Google Play.

Boondockers Welcome, a popular RV community that connects RVers with private homeowners who allow them to park for free, has launched its first mobile app available on both iOS and Android devices. Now access to free RV parking is made even easier and available while on the road.

“With most of our members out on the road traveling we knew that a mobile app was a must,” said co-founder and CTO Anna Maste. “Now our members can search for available host locations while traveling and even request a stay through our app. We’re expecting this year to be an even bigger RV year than 2020 and we’re so glad we can bring this app to our community. Many campgrounds are already booked for summer 2021 and we continue to be a good alternative to crowded campgrounds.”

A recent app review from Relax RV Podcast exclaims, “We have used Boondockers Welcome for almost 3 years now. We love using them to find places to stay with our RV and especially love meeting fantastic people. Now with this app it’s even easier. All our past stays have been populated into the app, and searching is even easier with the app.”

Boondockers Welcome is a digital platform that lets members arrange overnight stays with each other for free while traveling through an area. Connecting through the platform allows RVers to travel more economically and, in peak season, find an option when campgrounds may be full. Hosts consist of property owners or businesses that allow RVers to boondock on their land, with many offering electric and water options. It’s a great and safe way for fellow RVers or for people curious about the RV lifestyle to meet while also providing a safe place to park for one night or up to five nights.
