CrowdInfoNet Launches New Hosted Queuing Service to Help Businesses Serve Clients Intelligently

Jun 16, 2020 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #CrowdInfoNet, #global data technology firm, #Queuing Service

Anaheim, California: CrowdInfoNet, a renowned global data technology firm, today announces the launch of Piduay Queuing Service, the first-ever cloud-hosted near turnkey intelligent queuing solution catering to post-COVID-19 business environments. The solution is designed to help restaurants, healthcare providers, service centers, and business offices deal with crowd queuing for streamlined client service provision. CrowdInfoNet’s Piduay Queuing Service provides businesses cost-effective solutions to serve clients with efficiency, convenience, comfort, and reduced health risks.

After COVID-19, business environments have substantially changed. In places where it is traditionally a usual practice for clients to wait in line physically for service, clients are now looking for protection from the cross-infection of diseases. It has become a competitive edge to their peers for a business to adopt an intelligent queuing service to better serve and protect clients. Among those that do adopt such a queuing service, the various qualities of such service, the total ownership cost, as well as their expected return on investment, all set them apart from their competitors.

Designed with small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) in mind, the Piduay Queuing Service focuses on many unique features that effectively address issues of major concern to SMBs but other existing products or services fail to effectively address, such as minimum initial capital layout for deployment, the minimum
on-going cost for operation, minimum time to deploy, minimum learning curve, maximum leverage to latest technologies, maximum flexibility in adapting to existing practices, maximum quality, and features to cost ratio, etc. To make things simple for SMBs, CrowdInfoNet offers hosted Piduay Queuing Service in two service plans of identical features except for subscription duration. SMBs are free to choose plans best suited for their budgets.

Businesses are recovering quickly following COVID-19 but are in entirely different competitive environments. Promptly gaining a competitive advantage in the new environments becomes increasingly important to business survival and success. “We are seeing a surge in the need for this new service product category. Businesses require cost-effective, flexible, scaling, and intelligence client queuing solution soon. The Piduay Queuing Service was developed to meet this urgent need head-on,” said Dr. George Lee, the Founder of CrowdInfoNet and Mastermind of the Piduay Queuing Service.

“We are very pleased to accelerate SMB in navigating the complex challenges of production-grade crowd management and client queuing systems and services. With the introduction of our solution, SMB can now focus on what they do best in serving clients, leaving the complexity of crowd queuing safely to the AI of our solutions,” said Dr. George Lee, the Founder of CrowdInfoNet and Mastermind of the Piduay Queuing Service.

CrowdInfoNet strongly believes that SMBs should not trust manual processes or existing obsolete and overly complicated queuing solutions to manage crowded clients in the after COVID-19 era. Most existing solutions innovate slowly, make it cost-prohibitive to own or to scale, and prevent building a sustainable competitive advantage over time. By effectively addressing SMBs’ real concerns, CrowdInfoNet hopes to accelerate the use of Piduay Queuing Service’s built-in AI and democratize its benefits.

CrowdInfoNet is a private firm accelerating progress in a crowd related advanced data analytics and algorithms by taking on the headache of daily business operations, preparing data for analysis, building state of the art models, developing state of the art solutions, and operating data-driven hosted business services. The founder Dr. George Lee has multiple advanced degrees including Ph.D., J.D., M.S. from the US in diverse disciplines, cross-industry experience across 7+ industries, and years of Big 4 and independent consulting experience, and entrepreneurship experience. The team is a global team of multiple disciplines covering data research, data engineering, data science, algorithm, security, and compliance. CrowdInfoNet is a private firm headquartered in Taiwan running as a global virtual team located in different countries around the globe. CrowdInfoNet believes in being great partners with its client businesses, in making its clients successful, and is using its expertise to make the world a better place.

AriRetail POS Software: Now Offering Mailchimp Integration

Jun 15, 2020 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #IT company, #POS Software, #Web Masters

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Web Masters is an IT company having branches in UAE, Singapore, Bahrain, and India. The company specializes in providing retail solutions and Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation. Ari is one of the products developed by Web Masters to provide ease to the retail businesses.

Retail stores face a hard time communicating with customers manually. About all the retail stores require constant communication with their customers. Whenever there is a new product launch, sales, offers, and important updates, conveying the information to buyers is tiresome, yet necessary. Ari POS, which is a retail POS system, has come up with a solution to this.

Ari POS has a back-office, which is a web-based application where all the POS related configuration takes place. Besides that, there is the point of sale system from where sellers conduct transactions.

Ari has recently introduced Mailchimp software integration, and one can configure it through the back-office. The Mailchimp is a web-based application that has a wide range of functions. Mailchimp allows you to conduct behavioral targeting, find lookalike audience, create digital ads, send bulk targeted emails, and many more attributes related to branding and retargeting.

The Ari-Mailchimp integration will assist Ari customers in transferring the customer data from Ari to Mailchimp directly. With the provided data, the retail shops can retarget the customers by creating customer groups and emailing them. The best of all is, Mailchimp integration and Mailchimp account come for free. You can check more about the Ari-Mailchimp integration here: https://arirms.com/integrations/mailchimp

“Mailchimp integration will help retail businesses to reduce their retargeting cost and time, and at the same time strengthens the seller-buyer relationship,” says Rahul Doshi, Web Masters Managing Director.

“The customer data is obtained while the transaction takes place through the POS. The real-time synchronization allows Ari POS to transfer the data to Ari Back-Office instantly. You have the option to send the customer data from Ari to Mailchimp in bulk or one by one. It even removes the incorrect email addresses. Also, you can create customer groups as well,” explains Jignesh Joshi, Vice President Technology and Product Design.

The Mailchimp is a proven solution for learning customer behavior and retargeting them with all that they are interested in. Integrating it with Ari will surely harmonize the customer data transfer. It appears to be one successful attempt in making the lives of retail businesses easier, hoping many more in the way.

End 2 End Results Vertical Marketing Delivers

Jun 15, 2020 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Arizona, #End 2 End Results, #Mesa

Mesa, Arizona: After months of development work, the team at End 2 End Results has launched detailed client persona builds which uniquely combine traditional digital marketing tools, advanced SEO practices with quantitative demographic, psychological, personality and neurological research.

The end result is a client persona, aka digital marketing avatar, that provides objective insight into target marketing online and in social media. Testimonials and results speak for themselves on the E2E website.

E2E delivers high-value data alongside digital marketing tools in each persona giving small and medium sized businesses a deeper understanding of customer needs and how to solve for them. Personas create highly actionable insights into what prospective customers are thinking, feeling, and doing at the time they are deciding to purchase. Personas also direct service and product development by creating features that help them achieve their desired outcomes. They help to prioritize which projects, campaigns, and initiatives in which to invest time and resources. Additionally, they create alignment across your organization and rally other teams around a customer-centric vision. And personas are used to explore a new marketing ideas with exceptional depth in order to determine the optimal direction of growth.

E2E personas are currently being successfully used in legal services, financial and investment services and in real estate syndications. The company is poised to grow and is currently taking one new client per week as part of their growth stage development.

Dave Grimm, founder of E2E was recently quoted, “There are typically nine ways that digital marketing, actually most any marketing fails. Not having an in dept understanding of your client is directly related to five of the nine reasons.”

Businesses often pay several thousand per month for digital marketing services, many of which fail to produce ROI and many more that fail to produce consistent results because the client persona is not developed or is underdeveloped. The final stage in the E2E business model is to deliver actionable personas starting at flat rate value ($1000/Avatar) that most any small or medium sized business can afford. Once AI is implemented and rapid scale can be delivered with exacting detail, E2E will adjust the price.

According to Madison Beedy, CEO of Path Technology, “End 2 End Results is fantastic. As a business owner, it is hard to get your Phoenix SEO and website up and running on your own without spending thousands of dollars or hundreds of hours researching how to do it. With Dave and E2E you get all of that information for a low monthly fee. His results are amazing. With his suggestions, I was able to jump from page 12 to page 1 on Google. I also received the competitor report, which completely opened my eyes to competitors I have never heard of that are doing much better online than I am. With E2E I am confident I will be on the top for web searches soon.”

Dave Grimm Bio

I have spent most of my life looking for and creating win-win situations. Prior to End 2 End, I oversaw the lead generation for a private equity syndication firm where I was given the latitude to architect the marketing system of my dreams. The system helped create 60 million in real estate acquisitions and 90 million in value over 4 years. The architecture I developed evolved into the tools that I use today to help business owners increase revenue.

As founder and system architect for End 2 End results, we integrate multiple separate and very powerful automation systems with in-depth database and scientific research. We then validate that data with hands-on interviews creating a very unique perspective on creating revenue.

I believe in win-win business solutions so I built E2E on the concepts of financial alignment. Additionally, someone once told me “you cannot grow it if you cannot track it.” To that end, every system we build has dashboards that tell you at a glance what is going on with your marketing. This level of transparency ensures that we are always growing forward.

In the past 30 years, I have been a loan officer and underwriter (14 years), insurance and financial services producer, sales team top producer, mentor, and entrepreneur.

In my spare time, I facilitate a multi-family investment group investing in real estate and real estate related deals around the country. Starting this fall, I will be the parent of a college student when my daughter heads across the country to start the next chapter of her life. Being a father to an amazing daughter has been more rewarding than any business transaction. I enjoy travel, wood and metal work, grilling, and playing with my rowdy Rhodesian Ridgeback named Remy.
