Fanplayr Announces Strategic Expansion to Accommodate its Growth

PALO ALTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fanplayr, a leader in online behavioral personalization and AI for the past 10 years, today announced major changes to support significant growth in its business and customer base.

The company specializes in "converting online users into buyers" using analysis of shoppers' online behaviors. "As the pandemic takes its course, consumers are making a more permanent shift to online purchasing," says Simon Yencken, Founder and CEO of Fanplayr. "Retailers are allocating more dollars to their online strategies. They are also getting set for a longer online holiday season, so the time for retailers to act is early on."

Before the pandemic, Fanplayr had achieved 100% growth over the previous year, and the company recorded revenue growth of 87% over last year in Q2 of 2020. Contributors to Fanplayr's significant growth include:

* Growth in online sales. Key indicators of ecommerce success have increased consistently and simultaneously during the pandemic, driving growth in online-related businesses services. This rarely happens, even during peak holiday seasons.

* Movement away from tracking. Responding to anonymous online visitors became even more critical when third-party tracking policies changed in February 2020 in a movement to increase online privacy. Behavior personalization is uniquely responsive, without the need for cookies.

* Positive results for clients. Behavioral personalization directly drives sales, with clients seeing increased closure rates up to 120%.

* Providing customer care. As buying habits change from in-store to online, companies lose the ability to speak directly to their customers. "Behavior personalization has become the online equivalent of the proverbial salesperson," says Yencken.

In July, the company announced it would expand its offices in New York City to support its growing North American client base. During the same month, it appointed a Regional Sales Director for new offices in Manchester and London.

"In a scenario of global economic recovery, the expansion in New York and the opening of Fanplayr headquarters in UK are extremely positive signs," said Enrico Quaroni, VP Global Sales. The Palo Alto-based company now has offices on both North American coasts and in eight countries globally.

Bringing Connection Back During the Pandemic, ‘GO Live’ Exclusively Available on The Odd Market

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Odd Lot Foundation announced today they have developed a proprietary platform that allows sellers to subscribe to their GO Live platform enabling them to be connected with customers like never before.

Unlike chatbots and video response services that have you record a message, send to the owner, and then wait for a video reply, GO Live connects you live and in person immediately and on-demand. It's the brainchild of the husband and wife team, Phillip and Shelly Dane behind The Odd Market.

The Dane family has been producing events in Southern California for the past 30 years. GO Live is about connection, filling the void as events and stores are not operating due to COVID-19.

"We have over 3000 registered Sellers who attend our events to earn their living. In March, that cane to a sudden stop. People were losing their day jobs and no place to sell their wares. There were no events to attend and stores were shut down. GO Live was born out of COVID-19," said Phillip Dane.

After almost 5 months in development, GO Live is now live and on the Odd Market website: https://theoddmarket.com/.

GO Live is an affordable subscription service available to all Sellers on The Odd Market site. When a customer is on a product page on theoddmarket.com, they will see the Supplier (artist or maker) and a link to their bio, a link to all their other products, and the GO Live button.

When a customer clicks GO Live, the supplier is notified on an app with the option to accept or decline the incoming video call. If they accept, within seconds the customer is connected on a video call with the supplier.

Think of it as virtually walking into a boutique or craft show booth and being able to have face to face but with GO Live it's from the comfort of your home. A supplier could be home, on a beach. walking their dog and always available. In a time where connection is craved, GO Live delivers the solution. Customers feel confident when they can video call with the owner of a product. It's fun and personable and it's exclusively available on theoddmarket.com.

Launch Program Helps Companies Start Selling Direct to Consumers in China Via Cross Border E-Commerce

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- ABC Showcase USA, a leading provider of cross border e-commerce services, international trade and logistics fulfillment, established in 2018, announced expansion of a comprehensive solution to help U.S. companies sell directly to consumers in China and S.E. Asia.

Cross border e-commerce is dramatically transforming the way foreign brands penetrate the Chinese market. In 2019 more than $200 billion dollars in commerce was transacted through cross border e-commerce in China and more than 600 million active online consumers are expected by 2023. Perhaps even more exciting, U.S. companies can start selling their products in China without needing to first commit to costly regulatory approvals, re-labeling or modifications.

The rise of cross border e-commerce has brought with it an unprecedented opportunity for American companies to tap sales directly from Chinese consumers. Even with the specter of protracted trade friction between the United States and China, cross border e-commerce offers U.S. brand holders a sensible work around to sell their products in China avoiding high tariffs.

New-to-export companies can begin selling their brands direct to consumers in China including in highly regulated product categories such as health supplements, beauty products, pet food, and packaged foods with no need to directly ship their inventory overseas and thus bypassing a traditional stocking distributor. The Chinese government has recently lowered duties on most consumer goods sold through cross border sales to 9.2 %. Coupled with the expanded Chinese individual personal exemption, consumers can now import up to 5000 RMB($720.00) duty free.

The team at Showcase USA has simplified the cross-border e-commerce process to offer companies a customizable solution to help quickly launch their products rapidly in China. Since the start of 2018, Showcase USA has managed the successful launch of U.S. apparel, beauty, packaged foods, supplements, and innovative consumer goods on Kaola.com and other leading cross border platforms. According to Mark Matsumoto, company co-founder," The expansion of cross border e-commerce has been a game changer for U.S. companies hoping to reach the vast China consumer market. We have developed a turn-key selling model that reduces risk and gives companies assurance dealing with a U.S. based company."

Leveraging the backbone of ABC Depot Logistics who established the 3PL and procurement arm for Netease/Kaola in North America, the ABC Showcase USA model provides brand holders a simple method to manage all aspects of the cross-border process selling on leading platforms including, Kaola.com, Pinduoduo, WeChat and others.

The ABC Showcase USA Store Program provides brand holders the following bundled support:
* Platform authorization and launch within 30 Days
* Product registrations with China Customs
* Translated product listings on ABC Showcase USA Storefront
* Management of inventory and logistics from Los Angeles or New Jersey Warehouse
* Payment collection from Chinese consumers
* Coordination of platform promotion, including facilitation of in-country social media campaigns and participation in live streaming events.
* 24/7 customer service support in China

California based companies can inquire about opportunities to leverage the California Export ICEP Program that may fully subsidize participation in the ABC Showcase USA Pilot Program - a 6-month trial to on board and start selling products on three of the leading cross border e-commerce platforms.

Don't miss your chance to leverage the biggest online shopping day in the world: Singles' Day on 11/11 which is expected to exceed $60 billion dollars. U.S. companies who take advantage of the program offered by ABC Showcase USA can actively participate in Singles' Day and other important online sales incentive days in Fall/Winter 2020.

About ABC Depot Logistics/Showcase USA

Founded in 2005 as a leading provider of end-to-end logistics solutions, combing air freight, ocean freight, warehousing, road rail, express packages and e-commerce services. Having established a strong reputation in the global logistics industry, ABC Depot was enlisted by Netease/Kaola in 2015 to establish a 3PL operation and procurement office in North America. ABC Depot has played a key role helping Kaola.com become the leading cross border e-commerce platform in China. The launch of ABC Showcase USA in 2018 offered brand holders the first affordable and comprehensive cross border e-commerce sales and support solution.

Fanplayr Data Shows Retailers Are Making Up for Lost Sales

PALO ALTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fanplayr, a leader in e-commerce intelligence, released figures that give clear insights into the adjustment consumers are making in light of significant lifestyle changes forced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tracking aggregate behavior across clients' sites, the data prove a shift from retail to online purchasing. The results are particularly dramatic in large clothing, sports and kids fashion retailers.

According to analyses of sites with over 20 million visitors per month, key indicators of e-commerce success have risen consistently and simultaneously during the period of time a particular market has been dealing with COVID-19. Visitor traffic, conversion rates and AOV (average order value) have all increased. Simultaneous increases in key indicators is rare, even during peak holiday seasons. Simon Yencken, Founder and CEO of Fanplayr states, "It demonstrates our clients are recapturing some lost revenues, namely 30- 40%, caused by limited or no store traffic."

For example, the Japanese market has been dealing with COVID-19 longer than the U.S. because of their proximity to the epicenter. Over the period of time from first reports of infection to today, online key indicators have all risen.

This information is critical for retailers scrambling to make up lost profits. It demonstrates that lost revenue from shelter-in-place and school closures can be recovered from increased online sales, and the overall impact can be mitigated even more with strategies to increase closure rates of shoppers.

As transactions move increasingly online, revenue attributable to AI and behavioral personalization is also increasing. Yencken says Fanplayr's behavioral intelligence responds to anonymous online visitors by understanding their intent, based on their online behavior, and then responding appropriately. This removes the need for third-party tracking to increase conversion rates.

"Companies must focus online to capture every potential sale," says Yencken. "Without segmentation strategies, companies are losing potential sales, something no one can afford to do in this business landscape."

Helping Powell’s Books and Small Retail Businesses Stay Operational During Pandemic

PORTLAND, Ore. /ScoopCloud/ -- Matter Supply Co. responds with a technology solution after Powell's Books layoffs. The company announced today that it will also donate significant efforts to create 20 eCommerce websites for small Portland-area retailers most threatened by closure during the outbreak.

Matter Supply Co. recently developed a Google Chrome extension to help Powell's Books become more visible to shoppers searching for titles on Amazon. Today the company launched its 20 in 20 Program aimed at supporting small brick and mortar retail businesses that are closed during quarantine without websites to sell their inventory.

The program will donate resources to create 20 eCommerce websites within 20 days for Portland business owners who apply and are deemed most at risk for permanent closure. Each site will be available to the selected applicants for $500.

The fee covers initial technology and ancillary service fees only. Portland small business owners can apply to the program now at https://localgoesglobal.com/.

"I love this city. Seeing so many closed store fronts is really difficult. As a small business owner, I feel this is the best way to help my community right now," says Joshua Redshaw, Principal at Matter Supply Co.

The company believes this effort will have more immediate, positive impact on the local business community at a time when small business owners wait in limbo for legislative decisions and scramble to garner other means of support. Matter Supply Co. will pilot the program in Portland, with hopes to expand the effort to other cities in the near future.

"If we can create online stores quickly for small retailers that don't have them, it might help save their brick and mortar locations while we figure out what the future holds," adds Redshaw.

Matter Supply Co. is an independent, Portland-based digital product studio focused on creating digital products and technology solutions that address real problems that people face every day.

Currency Notes Can Be Super Spreader of Novel Coronavirus 2019

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- At a time when various governments and health bodies are still figuring out the different modes of transmission of novel coronavirus 2019, there are some spelled out precautions for which there is a universal consensus, says HexGn research. One of them is to avoid contact with the objects, people, surfaces, et all.

The option of isolation at home is not possible as people still need to buy food or step out for essential purchases, and in places where it is business as usual, nearly unavoidable. Financial transactions cannot be avoided whatever be the case, coins, paper money, ATM, card swipe machines, and even plastic cards, therefore pose a risk in such circumstances. It is no longer a debate about cashless economy, contactless is the way ahead.

Currency notes, coins, and plastic cards, due to its frequent circulation in daily life as a medium of exchange, could get easily contaminated by this Coronavirus. Previous studies across the United States, China, India, and other countries (Sharma and Sumbali, 2014) have revealed that 70-94 percent of banknotes and coins harbor various bacteria and viruses on the surface, even currency counting machines were harboring deadly pathogens. If this was not enough, another study by Kramer et al. in 2006, using laboratory simulations, concluded that bacteria and viruses could survive on the surface of banknotes or coins from one to thirteen days.

Avoiding currency notes and coins may not be enough; plastic cards and card swipe machines, too, may not be immune from contamination. Cards are never cleaned and the user needs to punch in the PIN on the payment terminal, which may not be disinfected after every usage. Professor Eike Steinmann at the Faculty of Medicine at Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany has published a new analysis in The Journal of Hospital Infection. Professor Steinmann, by analyzing data from different types of Coronavirus, has concluded that many strains can live on surfaces such as glass, plastic, or metal, for up to nine days.

Governments and public health organizations can proactively educate people to use contactless payments systems that facilitate payment using digital wallets, QR code scan, or point and pay.

According to HexGn Research, contactless payments are a part of the FinTech sector, which attracted $46 billion in investments, 10 percent of it made into ventures specializing in payment systems and wallets. This could increase dramatically, as governments look for the immediate adoption of contactless payments being offered by existing players. This will lead to further fundraising to strengthen backend systems and onboarding new consumers. New players will also enter the payments and wallet segment, looking at the possible boom.

"To stem infection early on, it has become imperative for Governments to not only adopt but actively encourage the usage of contactless payments & transactions. This will provide a safer transaction option as we continue to fight with this novel Coronavirus," says Alex Kong, Founder and chairman of Hong Kong-based FinTech Unicorn, TNG Wallet.

Payments and Digital wallet companies could help in reducing the spread of Novel Coronavirus 2019 and embolden global health bodies in stemming this tide with minimal damage.

After, Inc. launches QuickReg 2.0 with additional benefits for Manufacturers and their Customers

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- After, Inc., the global leader in Warranty Marketing and Analytics Solutions since 2005, just announced the launch of QuickReg(TM) 2.0, the next iteration of its smart registration solution. QuickReg(TM), launched in March 2019, helps manufacturers drive higher registration rates by making product registration quick, easy and convenient for consumers through their preferred channel of choice.

"Our research has shown that there are four reasons for low product registration rates," says Nate Baldwin, CEO of After, Inc. "First, current registration processes are not convenient for consumers. Consumers won't do it if it's manual, time-consuming and requires multiple steps. Second, registration must happen right away, when consumers first get their products, or it won't happen at all. Third, with CCPA and the additional consumer data protection legislation happening across the country, registration solutions must give consumers control over their data and how it is used. And finally, although consumers are more willing than ever to share their data, they must feel they are getting value in return. QuickReg incorporates all of these requirements."

QuickReg(TM) initially offered two ways for customers to register their products. They could send the model number via text to a specified phone number, or take a picture of the model number and send it via text or email. This would launch an automated process where QuickReg(TM) would engage the customer in a two-way discussion, verify their personal information, and complete the registration process in a few simple steps.

QuickReg(TM) 2.0 gives consumers an additional option. They can scan a QR code or RFID tag on the manufacturer's product box, with the model number embedded.

"A majority of manufacturers are moving towards using QR codes and RFID tags for product identification, so we have enhanced QuickReg to accept it," says Baldwin. "We are excited about QuickReg's added functionality and the convenience it provides to manufacturers and their customers."

Fanplayr Opens Latin American Headquarters in Mexico City

PALO ALTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fanplayr, a leader in targeted ecommerce conversion solutions, announced it has opened a new corporate hub in Mexico City. Located in the prestigious Polanco district, Fanplayr's headquarters for Latin America (LATAM) has been in operation since September.

Fanplayr CEO Simon Yencken explains, "With our new LATAM offices, we are bringing the concept of behavioral analysis to one of the 10 largest ecommerce markets. We are thrilled to offer positive changes to the region with the strength of Fanplayr's platform, exceptional customer service, and results that have been consistently above expectations."

Led by Mariano Tripiciano, Managing Director Latin America, the new office is strategically located for business relations with key countries including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. Its close proximity to Fanplayr headquarters in California makes Mexico City an ideal location.

Tripiciano began his career as an entrepreneur in Argentina, but also has lived and worked in England, America and Italy. He joined Fanplayr in 2013, where he successfully led the Italian business in opening the Milan office, covering first the position of Head of Operations and then VP Europe. Tripiciano then started to follow the South American market by establishing contacts with important customers.

"We realized long ago that the Mexican market was receptive, but we were trying to manage everything centrally from Italy with limited local support," said Tripiciano. "With a critical mass of business in the region, the time has come to open a new, much more functional office to best serve our customers."

In South America, Fanplayr has already established contacts with important local businesses in a wide variety of capacities, as well as collaborations with major media centers and agencies.

In this first phase, Mariano will be joined by Saúl Corral Rodríguez, Sales Director. With his 15 years of experience in the South American market, Rodríguez will help Fanplayr reach out to the most promising companies. In the second phase of expansion, the goal is further growth of the team with the addition of new functions to fully serve all customers.

"I know South American companies and their business models, but I was surprised with how quickly they have understood the potential of working with Fanplayr," adds Saúl Corral Rodríguez. "They know that we are an excellent ally and the perfect tool to optimize their investments."

Founded in 2011 in Palo Alto, California, Fanplayr has received more than $8 million in funding. The senior management team is comprised of successful serial entrepreneurs with multiple technology IPOs behind them.

Fanplayr is Creating Better Consumer and Provider Experiences by Making E-commerce Behavioral Data Actionable in Real Time

PALO ALTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fanplayr, the leader in targeted, real-time e-commerce conversion solutions, announced today the creation of a focused system of software providing real-time, actionable behavioral data, called Behavioral Data Hub. The precision of this new, more focused digital solution helps buyers and sellers, in addition to clients and service providers, by delivering on the promise of greater productivity in the rapidly evolving world of e-commerce.

Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent globally in attracting visitors and trying to get them to return. But only a tiny fraction of that, as little as one percent, is spent on the "last mile," converting those visitors to customers or clients, or optimizing the value created for those already "converted," namely, existing customers or clients. As e-commerce continues to disrupt the modern brick-and-mortar retail model, it is evident that more awareness needs to be brought to this key aspect of digital interaction with the customer.

"Tackling this new last-mile problem requires focus and precision. By utilizing Behavioral Data Hub, productivity is increased, translating into shared tangible benefits, better returns on digital investments on one side of the market, and greater satisfaction on the other," states Simon Yencken, founder and CEO of Fanplayr.

When considering the typical sales funnel, the crucial last mile for e-commerce is unwittingly reduced to relative insignificance. Unfortunately, this inattention has held back innovation for the customer conversion stage.

"With Behavioral Data Hub, Fanplayr has both identified and addressed the requisite details of making this conversion stage work better, for consumers and for providers of products and services," says Derek Adelman, VP Asia Pacific, Co-Founder of Fanplayr.

Fanplayr's Behavioral Data Hub is software that is both rich and responsive, not depending on static demographic data, instead relying on real-time, actionable behavioral data. Intelligent software that guides the final stage of the consumer decision process can have significant impacts on these conversion rates. Increasing a conversion rate from 2 percent to 3 percent represents a massive 50 percent gain for the seller.

By collecting rich and relevant data at the conversion stage, creating real time and productive classifications of website visitors, along with real-time segmentation leading to action options that are productive for visitors, Fanplayr's Behavioral Data Hub permits careful, targeted experimentation and efficient learning. Employing this software system improves ongoing customer and client interactions.

"Behavioral Data Hub also addresses a looming problem for the digital world: individual privacy. European regulators have already begun to act on increasing concerns for the protection of demographic and personal characteristic data that fundamentally erodes privacy. Fanplayr recognizes that an approach based on more precise behavioral data, not necessarily tied to fundamental personal identities, delivers productive digital interactions and transactions with greater privacy protection. Such an approach is a better way forward for everyone," Yencken affirms.

About Fanplayr:

Fanplayr is the leader in targeted real-time e-commerce conversion solutions. By harnessing the power of Big Data, Fanplayr's 'Smart & Targeted Conversions' enables marketers to identify, profile and target visitors with customized offers in real-time during the shopping experience. Fanplayr is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

Yoodlize Launches New App for People to Rent Out Their Stuff

PROVO, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Yoodlize, a Provo-based startup, has launched a rental platform that allows people to easily find and rent all types of items from other users of the app. The Yoodlize app also provides a safe and convenient peer-to-peer rental transaction system for individuals who want to earn money renting out their things to people in their local communities.

"We've had a very positive reception of our app since our soft launch this summer," said Jason Fairourne, founder and CEO of Yoodlize. "People are downloading the app and loving it - and it will only get better as we get more users."

Several companies like Airbnb, Neighbor, Uber, and Turo have emerged over the past few years and established a strong market for collaborative consumption businesses. Yoodlize expands the peer-to-peer rental model from houses and cars to all the rest of the things we own.

Since its launch in June, Yoodlize has already seen a flurry of user activity. Some of the most popular items currently being rented on the platform are sporting goods like camping gear, canoes, bikes, and paddleboards. Other popular items include bounce houses, motorcycles, electronics, and tools.

"People have added hundreds of items for rent, and the number of listings is growing every day," said Fairbourne. "It's an open marketplace, so the only limit on what you can find is people's creativity."

Part of Fairbourne's inspiration for Yoodlize was the sheer volume of things that go unused. Homes, garages, and storage units are full of people's unused items collecting dust. For many Yoodlize users, being able to make better use of items that would otherwise sit idle is a major selling point.

Yoodlize was designed to make the peer-to-peer rental process as seamless and secure as possible. For example, all items on Yoodlize are automatically insured up to $2000, so users can earn cash renting out high-value items worry-free.

Riding a wave of powerful trends like minimalism and society's growing preference for experiences over things, the Yoodlize platform is primed to grow exponentially and revolutionize the way people "Yoodlize" their stuff.

About Yoodlize:
Yoodlize is a peer-to-peer rental platform for just about anything. Yoodlize makes it easy for individuals to list and rent out their things to people in their local area. Owners earn extra cash putting their otherwise unused things to work, and renters get affordable access to an almost limitless catalog of items and experiences.

The Yoodlize app is available for free download on iOS, Android, and at the Yoodlize website, https://www.yoodlize.com

* Streamline workflow: Ablii lets business owners delegate payables processing by adding employees and setting access controls. Unlike traditional online banking services, business owners can maintain full visibility and approval of the payment without the burden of processing the payment themselves.

Laurence Cooke, Founder and CEO of nanopay Corporation, believes that reform rarely starts at the top, but rather percolates from consumers demanding better options. "Every industry has changed drastically, except for payments. They are slow, risky, and expensive. How can you track a pizza to the nearest meter, but not know where your money is at a given moment? It's time for a change."

According to a recent study by Payments Canada, "more than 80% of small businesses want more payment options." It's time to give the businesses what they want.

ShopMyCause Launches in Virginia to Power Investment in Local Communities

MIDLOTHIAN, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- ShopMyCause, a socially conscious e-commerce start-up, has launched in Virginia this month with a unique model that connects local businesses and customers to raise money for community organizations serving kids.

Tech innovator Chris Martin is initially targeting the shopping platform (https://shopmycause.org) to serve three key Virginia markets: Greater Richmond, northern Virginia and Hampton Roads.

"ShopMyCause is a socially conscious e-commerce startup working to give consumers and businesses more options to connect in ways that power investment back into our communities," said Martin, a Richmond resident with 25 years of experience in technology and finance.

"As parents we owe a huge debt of gratitude to the educators, coaches, and other caretakers who invest their love and energy to help our children learn and grow. It is essential we continue to use technology creatively to expand options for the business community to funnel more funding to these heroes, so all our children are given the opportunities they deserve."

This new online shopping platform helps local businesses by promoting their goods and services to community parents and other supporters. ShopMyCause is currently engaging businesses who are interested in attracting new customers while making a positive impact. These businesses craft offers that are listed on the site with a percentage of each sale going to support youth focused organizations.

"Businesses are asked all the time for money to support worthy causes. Unfortunately, it is typically hard for them to see whether their financial support is helping their bottom line. This limits what they are willing to invest."

Chris expands on the benefits of the concept: "The ShopMyCause platform creates a much stronger link to real business results. When doing good translates directly to more business, it opens up entirely new possibilities."

Schools, PTAs, athletic teams, nonprofits, and others are partnering with ShopMyCause to offer their boards, parents, and fundraising teams the platform. Where other national businesses typically give only a small percentage, ShopMyCause works with caring local businesses and targets a much higher rate so customers' collective purchases make a big impact. Local businesses support local organizations so both the businesses and kids gain.

"We are excited about our partnership with ShopMyCause," said Ingrid Aardahl, owner of Balanced Yoga, a community business in Burke, Virginia. "This allows us to serve new customers while giving back to the local schools and other organizations helping kids. It makes sense for our business and is more aligned with our values than other marketing we've done in the past."

ShopMyCause is currently focused on expanding its presence in the Greater Richmond, northern Virginia and Hampton Roads markets in the coming months and will be moving into other Virginia markets and beyond in 2020.

Individuals interested in learning more about how this platform could support a business or nonprofit should contact Chris Martin at chris@shopmycause.org or visit the website at https://shopmycause.org.

About ShopMyCause:
ShopMyCause, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia is a socially conscious eCommerce startup working to give consumers and businesses more options to connect in ways that power investment back into local communities. ShopMyCause is dedicated to improving children's lives by increasing funding for organizations serving kids.

Founder Chris Martin decided to develop the company after serving 25 years in the banking and technology sector where his focus was on developing new innovations that improve customers' financial lives. ShopMyCause is committed to scaling its business throughout Virginia and is currently focused on the Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Hampton Roads markets.

Capacity LLC Launches New Online Client Portal for Improved Fulfillment Tracking and Reporting

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capacity LLC, trusted leaders in order fulfillment, e-commerce, and EDI solutions, has launched a revitalized online portal to serve its clients. Reimagined from the ground up as a way for brand managers and executives to monitor their fulfillment activity, Capacity's development team put user experience at the heart of the redesign. Improved architecture and a more intuitive interface make the system simple for clients to navigate, while custom Tableau-based reporting presents key account data in an easily digestible format.

The portal is also optimized for mobile devices, giving busy executives access to their accounts even when they're on the move.

Visibility of order processing and fulfillment performance is increasingly important in today's data-driven supply chain environment. Identifying potential issues and responding to them quickly can be the difference between a lifelong customer or one who's lost forever when problems go unresolved. Capacity's new client portal gives managers instant access to the data they need to make crucial decisions and act on customer concerns in a timely manner.

"This upgrade to our Client Center portal is as important an upgrade as our transition to the Salesforce Service Cloud," says Capacity's Vice President of Client Services, Darren Lavelle. "It enhances the transparency of our partnerships with the exceptional brands we serve and delivers customized, scalable solutions as we continue to grow together."

The new client portal launch, taken together with a new state-of-the-art facility opening in 2020 and Capacity's best-in-class technology partners, demonstrates the company's commitment to providing clients with premium order fulfillment services that deliver brand promises and delight their customers.

Capacity Announces Appointments of Josh Krueger as COO and Nick Curatallo as Head of Partnerships

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capacity LLC, trusted leaders in order fulfillment, eCommerce, and EDI solutions, has confirmed two key appointments for the company, with a new Chief Operating Officer, Josh Krueger, and Nick Curatallo coming on as Head of Partnerships.

With a background in retail logistics and fulfillment, Krueger is eminently qualified to take up this new role with Capacity's experienced logistics team. After starting his career at WalMart, Josh made the jump to Amazon in its early days, climbing up the managerial ranks in various operational roles including oversight of robot-automated facilities. Krueger then joined rapidly growing eCommerce brand Zulily as VP of Fulfillment. He coordinated a multimillion-dollar project to create a state-of-the-art fulfillment center, with a focus on automation and accelerating delivery times.

Krueger moves to his new position at Capacity from the VP of Logistics role at QVC in Pennsylvania, where he moved after the acquisition of Zulily. His experience with so many well-known brands, at a time when change is the only constant of the online retail landscape, will make Krueger a major asset for Capacity's clients.

Nick Curatallo joins Capacity from Newgistics and Pitney Bowes, having previously spent a decade at DHL specializing on eCommerce parcel shipping solutions. His ability to manage multiple stakeholders and deliver compelling fulfillment and shipping strategies will serve Capacity's expanding client base with fresh ideas and creative solutions, while helping Capacity form new partnerships and explore new industry verticals. In a dynamic and complex retail landscape, Curatallo's Head of Partnerships position will play a pivotal role in keeping Capacity at the forefront of eCommerce fulfillment.

"Josh and Nick join our passionate team at a crucial juncture for Capacity," says Thom Campbell, Capacity's Chief Strategy Officer. "With our investment in the latest technology and a brand-new fulfillment center coming online in 2020, we need talent. We seek the brightest minds, broad experience, and strong leaders in operational and strategic excellence. At this point in our growth we need leaders who can continue to cultivate a strong culture of leadership at all levels. Our new Chief Operating Officer and Head of Partnerships deliver all of these qualities and much more."

These appointments, viewed alongside the company's expanded relationships with tier-one fulfillment technology partners and a state-of-the-art facility opening in 2020, show that Capacity continues to develop its ability to offer premium order fulfillment services. Krueger and Curatallo are the latest in a series of strategic hires that further enhance Capacity's ability to deliver those services to internationally renowned brands and exciting new startups as the company enters the next decade.

5rand5’s New Crowdfunding Shopping Cart Helps People Help Each Other Anonymously

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- 5rand5 LLC has launched its people-based shopping cart crowdfunding platform, (5rand5.com). Donors can send as little as a $5 tax deductible donation through the shopping cart, or send donations directly. Donors have an option to do a random donation to five different individuals or families in need, and they can choose who will receive their contribution. Both donor and receiver will still remain anonymous.

The majority of users that are seeking funds are the homeless, families with children and disabled veterans. The organization also helps a small amount of people in the arts industry and even those just seeking gas money. Donors are able to use the support by category feature to find and add the people to their shopping cart that they want to give their contributions. There is no minimum or maximum number of people or causes to support, and 5rand5.com handles all the distribution of funds to the recipient without disclosing any of the donor's personal information.

There is a vetting process for each donation seeker on the 5rand5.com platform, and those in the homeless category have to submit documentation from local shelters. The primary focus for the platform is to help homeless families with children, however other askers are allowed to seek support from the platform. College students, animal rights organizations and unemployed people are also accepted, but with limited space. Each recipent is required to send in proof of their current situation before being able to accept donations.

"We are just starting out with small community donations until people learn more about us," says founder Lisa L. Johnverrell. "Our goal is to one day raise larger amounts for homeless shelters and individuals across the United States, but for now we can help a few individuals and families at a time."

Donations made directly to 5rand5.com to be distributed are tax-deductable, but direct donations are also allowed. The site encourages the donors to use the shopping cart for maximum secure transactions, but also wanted to keep the direct payment option for those that want to help others immediately.

"Donations can be received for 90 up to 180 days once listed," says Johnverrell. "Our platform is not for raising a large amount of funding at once, and that separates us from other charity based crowdfunding sites."

5rand5 is currently accepting applications for people needing assistance and is always accepting donations to help its funding seekers. To learn more visit https://5rand5.com

About 5rand5:

5rand5.com, managed by 5rand5 LLC in an Atlanta, Georgia was originally launched as a crowdfunding, randomizer platform that allowed users to anonymously give donations to people using their payment processor tags.We have since created a human shopping-cart where people can chose whom they'd like to help, or donate an amount to us and we will choose based upon those individuals and organizations with the greatest need.

Virtual Mail Small Business Scan Mailboxes Celebrates 5th Anniversary With 1 Millionth Scan

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Scan Mailboxes(R) announced today that they took just five years to go from startup to its millionth scan of client mail. Co-founders Ken Brown and Chris Landry started Scan Mailboxes in 2014 with a desire to provide a more efficient way for people to read their mail no matter where they are - saving time and environmental waste in the process.

"Today people and businesses are more virtual than ever. They travel, do business all over the world and are more likely to operate their business and affairs through their phones," explains founder Ken Brown. "We play a critical role for people who are trying to live a more virtual life but still rely on the necessities of the postal service."

Scan Mailboxes owes its growth in part to its ability to provide customers with an Austin mailing address, a hot commodity due to the city's growing population and global prestige. "Many of our clients are small businesses who want an Austin mailing address, and we're able to serve as a registered agent or provide a corporate mailing address," points out Brown, as he explains how their Austin location has been advantageous. Scan Mailboxes also benefits from the heavy concentration of apartments within Austin, with individuals who move frequently opting for a more stable, and secure mailbox solution.

"The Scan Mailboxes App allows people to read and manage their postal mail and packages on their phones," explains founder Chris Landry. After opening mail virtually on the Scan Mailboxes app, the client can then decide what to do with the mail, such as to hold for pickup, shred, forward, or take other action such as depositing checks. In five years, Scan Mailboxes has grown into a role as a comprehensive mailroom solution for businesses and individuals that have deposited over $15 million in client checks and securely shredded over 3.3 million pages of mail. "We take our client privacy and security seriously, it's a core part of what we do," said Landry.

The emphasis on a secure virtual mailbox solution and good customer service has paid off for Scan Mailboxes with a 30% increase in new accounts and a recent office expansion to accommodate its employees and mail handling capabilities. "We're looking to grow our Texas footprint in the next five years," explains founder Ken Brown. "The early days were very challenging for us as a startup. Nothing came easy and there were good decisions and bad decisions that we worked through. We're proud to be a debt-free company thinking carefully about new locations."

The virtual mail company has also been able to nurture its social mission to expand employment opportunities for Deaf individuals. Since 2014, over 15 Deaf people have been hired to work in its Austin offices through more inclusive hiring, a point of pride for Co-founders Brown and Landry. "There are real issues with finding long-term employment in the Deaf community, and as business owners we can do something about this. Our Deaf employees are incredibly efficient and adept at their jobs, and they are a huge part of our success," says Brown.

The company is conveniently located near downtown Austin and the Austin Bergstrom International Airport off I-35 and Highway 71/Ben White Boulevard, providing its customers who travel frequently with a convenient pickup location. The company has recently begun advertising in the airport, running a 10-second video spot throughout all hours of the day.

Interested clients and partners may visit https://scanmailboxes.com to learn more about the company and to create an account.

Co-founders Ken Brown and Chris Landry are available for comment and engagements.

Florida Startup Revolutionizes Honey Industry and Connects Consumers to Beekeepers

PARKLAND, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new online platform - the Domestic Beekeepers' Marketplace - provides U.S. beekeepers the opportunity to market their small batch, nutrient-rich, American-made natural honey to consumers, not just locally, but nationwide. This is great news because many low-cost, imported honey varieties are forcing American beekeepers out of business.

"There are many health benefits of raw honey, but consumers often have a difficult time finding it," Stefanie Gesuero, co-founder Domestic Beekeeper's Marketplace, says. "And honey that is typically found in grocery stores is imported, pasteurized and stripped of its natural health benefits."

Additionally, honey is often mixed with high fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners, as well as being contaminated with toxins, which can be harmful to consumers' health.

A University of California, Davis report, co-authored by Daniel A. Sumner and Tristan Hanon, "Contributions of the U.S. Honey Industry to the U.S. Economy," reveals that in 2017, U.S. honey production weighed in at 147.6 million pounds; honey imports exceeded that number at 447.5 million pounds and the annual U.S. honey consumption was 585.2 million pounds. These numbers prove that honey is in demand and there's room for domestic growth.

Domestic Beekeepers' Marketplace is doing its part to make American-made honey more readily available to consumers by connecting them directly to the source - the beekeepers. This saves both time and money.

This new online platform is easy to use and consumers can quickly find local, raw honey producers simply by entering their state or county information into the "Local Honey Tracker" search tool.

Local honey has so many health benefits:

* Excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and live enzymes
* Antibacterial and antifungal properties
* Phytonutrient powerhouse
* Helps to fight digestive issues
* Soothes a sore throat
* Eases allergies.

"We're committed to providing a fair-trade marketplace for domestic beekeepers that supply American-made all-natural honey," Gesuero says. "The more local beekeepers who produce honey, the more our American honeybees can pollinate and reproduce. This helps our agriculture, our honeybees and keeps America healthy. Natural honey loaded with endless health benefits is just a few clicks away."

‘Easy as a handshake’ deal closing-platform, heymate, launches testable alpha version, Sept. 5, 2018

ZUG, Switzerland /ScoopCloud/ -- Heymate, a deal-closing platform which will allow micro-entrepreneurs to easily create, close and administer secure professional contracts within 20 seconds, launched their testable product on Sept. 5, 2018, available via invitation on Android and iOS smartphones. The heymate app is the first product of the heymate platform, which is operated by Blockchain Applications AG.

Heymate (*note 1) is a mobile app for the global gig economy that offers freelancing micro-entrepreneurs (e.g., millennials, part-timers, retirees, etc.) a deal-closing tool that allows them to create, advertise and close on professional-quality offers for work or goods to be sold/rented.

Currently, micro-entrepreneurs in the "help wanted" or "for sale or rent" ecosystem have to rely on slow and outdated methods of terms and conditions negotiations, such as phone calls or emails, for their work. The mobile app will streamline this planning process for micro-entrepreneurs by integrating offer terms and negotiation into an easy to manage and understand e-contract. Once both parties agree to the terms, the deal is closed, stored on the blockchain and becomes a legally enforceable peer-to-peer contract.

"Heymate's goal is to make peer-to-peer deal-closing as simple and trustful as the good-old fashioned handshake," said heymate's founder and CEO, Philipp Toth.

The heymate app also guarantees micro-entrepreneurs are paid for their work. According to a study by Tipalti (*note 2), 73 percent of micro-entrepreneurs would be willing to leave a marketplace due to issues with receiving on-time and correct payment for their work. Heymate protects its users by escrowing payments upon contract agreement, ensuring that once the legally binding terms and conditions agreed upon by both parties are met, the predetermined payment will be sent to the worker on time.

Once the app has developed its customer base, heymate plans to integrate a variety of worker benefits, such as insurances, loans, etc., for key partners to offer their independent contractors. The platform plans to become the place where independent workers go to seek offers for any type of service that can be advertised or consumed. Heymate will also offer these benefits to workers who engage with large managed markets, such as Uber or Lyft, which have been increasingly pressured to offer benefits to their independent contractors.

The product will officially launch as a free-to-use open beta on Apple and Android app stores in Q1, 2019.

About heymate:

Heymate aims at bringing gig-economy micro-entrepreneurs the flexibility they want while securing their revenue. The heymate platform helps to simplify and formalize deal terms and conditions, manage escrow payment and resolving disputes, all while offering an ecosystem of services such as getting short-term and on-demand insurance, micro-loans, etc. to support micro-entrepreneurs as they grow.

The heymate mobile app is the first product of the heymate platform, operated by Blockchain Applications AG. With it, 100 million people will be able to do business for the first time, and everyone else will be able to close a deal 100 times faster.

SafeChain Completes First Official Real Estate Blockchain Transaction in the U.S.

COLUMBUS, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- SafeChain, the industry leader in wire fraud prevention software for land title, announced today it has successfully facilitated the sale of 36 forfeiture properties via blockchain. The transactions, which were completed on Tuesday in partnership with the auditor's office in Franklin County, Ohio, marks the first instance in the U.S. of a state government using blockchain to legally record the transfer of property deeds.

"To have Franklin County lead the nation in blockchain adoption for real estate transactions is one of the crowning achievements of my tenure as Auditor, but this transaction is just the beginning," Franklin County Auditor Clarence Mingo said. "Too often, government services are inefficient and out-of-touch with current technology, resulting in wasted tax dollars and a poor experience. The constituents of Franklin County deserve better, which is why the Auditor's Office has set a goal to move 100 percent of Franklin County's property records to blockchain and begin testing the technology to decentralize all county records and systems to create a more streamlined, efficient and secure process for delivering these services to the local community."

The recorded properties were sold at auction by the auditor's office. After the deeds are awarded to the winning bidders, all relevant property information is transferred to blockchain and assigned a barcode, which is then attached to the deed so that the property's information can be accessed via blockchain.

"Blockchain will transform the real estate industry. There's no doubt about it, and the earlier entities get on board, the more they stand to gain in terms of security and efficiency," said Tony Franco, CEO of SafeChain. "Starting with something as relatively straightforward as property transfers, blockchain creates a decentralized, near-perfect audit trail that can never be lost or stolen. Eliminating that risk opens the door to completely changing how properties are bought and sold in the U.S., and those changes will ultimately be to the consumer's benefit, as well as the real estate industry's as well."

In addition to its partnership with Franklin County, SafeChain is also working with officials in Washington and Perry counties as part of a larger, state-wide push to adopt blockchain. In June 2018, Ohio state legislators signed Senate Bill 220 into law, which added blockchain as a legally-recognized electronic transaction in the state.

As Ohio House Speaker Ryan Smith noted in an August 23, 2018 article for The Columbus Dispatch, "This is so new and just starting to take shape that we can position Ohio out front and, most importantly put it out in a way that gives our kids...an opportunity to stay in Ohio and not have the brain drain to the West Coast. It's a great opportunity for Ohio to really start the economic engine on a different perspective."

"As an Ohio-based company, we are deeply invested in not only making Ohio a top-of-mind destination for top technology talent, but we are also honored to help lead the charge to make Ohio one of the most technologically-advanced states in the nation," Robert Zwink, CTO of SafeChain said. "In addition to moving property records to blockchain, we're also working with title companies to eliminate wire fraud in real estate transactions using our platform SafeWire, thus adding an additional layer of security and efficiency to the real estate process."

About SafeChain:

SafeChain makes real estate transactions safer and simpler. Built by real estate title experts in collaboration with banking technologists, SafeChain tackles the inefficiencies of the buying and selling process from the inside-out to help title companies, mortgage bankers and realtors decrease costs and deliver a better experience for customers. Leveraging the most advanced technologies, including blockchain, SafeChain increases the speed and security of closings to deliver faster transactions and better consumer confidence.

Whiteflash Launches Next Generation Jewelry Care Plan

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Whiteflash Inc., specialists in ideal diamonds and fine jewelry, announced today an innovation in jewelry protection having just completed implementation of a ground-breaking program provided by JM Care Plan, Inc., a member of the Jewelers Mutual Group. The plan is the first to be rolled out by an e-commerce company and provides comprehensive jewelry care for three years from the date of purchase.

Benefits of the Whiteflash 3-Year Ultimate Care Plan include repairs and maintenance, ring sizing and refinishing, replacement of lost gemstones, and even includes free roundtrip insured shipping.

The low cost comprehensive plan can be purchased conveniently at the time of purchase through an integrated web interface in the Whiteflash shopping cart, automatically recording details of the purchase. The one-time fee is determined by the purchase price with all benefits guaranteed for a full three years.

A dedicated Ultimate Care Plan page on the Whiteflash website explains the program including examples of the many services that are provided at no cost under the plan. Learn more: https://www.whiteflash.com/confidence/three-year-ultimate-care/.

While not a replacement for a personal jewelry insurance policy, the Ultimate Care Plan provides peace of mind to consumers in the knowledge that a full range of issues resulting from wear and tear will be attended to promptly and professionally at no additional cost. The plan is superior to typical warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship which can have onerous stipulations and caveats that often result in disappointment when consumers learn their repairs do not qualify.

"We're thrilled to be working with Whiteflash to bring this exciting opportunity to their customers. Peace of mind for jewelry purchases is priceless. When damage happens, the last thing customers should worry about is how to repair or replace an item. It pays to have a set plan that helps customers purchase and protect their jewelry with confidence. The Ultimate Care Plan delivers," said Mark Devereaux, vice president of sales for Jewelers Mutual Group.

Whiteflash COO Eliezer Eber, who worked closely with JM Care Plan to develop and implement the program, had this to say, "As the first jewelry retailer certified for ISO 9000 we are dedicated to leading the jewelry industry through constant improvement and innovation. Being the first e-commerce retailer to offer this great program is another win for web savvy Whiteflash customers who understand and appreciate added value."

In the words of Whiteflash CEO Debi Wexler, "Providing maximum peace of mind and confidence in the purchase has always been our top priority. We do that by providing quality products, extensive information, and expert consultation. Being able to offer the Ultimate Care Plan is a wonderful extension of that philosophy."

The Ultimate Care Plan is the first such comprehensive care plan provided by a trusted industry name, to be made available for internet purchases of fine jewelry by an e-commerce focused retailer.

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capacity LLC(R), trusted leaders in order fulfillment, e-commerce, and electronic data interchange (EDI), has partnered with the robotic piece-picking experts at RightHand Robotics. The collaboration will integrate the Massachusetts-based company's RightPick(TM) automation system into Capacity's fulfillment solution offering, creating a new competitive edge for its clients.

The robotic workcells will be integrated with existing warehouse material handling systems, such as those from Lightning Pick, and will increase the level of automation. The integration of RightPick(TM) technology will begin in Capacity's New Jersey fulfillment center this year, and later expand to its California location.

As the fulfillment partner of choice for household names and global brands like Glossier and ADP, Capacity handles thousands of e-commerce and B2B orders daily. The company's initial use of robotic piece-picking automation builds upon Capacity's strategy of deploying engineered systems that improve speed, accuracy and flexibility to meet its clients' omnichannel fulfillment needs.

When Capacity sought a robotic piece-picking solution, its goals included finding a system that could pick and place a wide range of items at high rates with reliability.

"We quickly concluded that many of the systems entering the market would not meet our needs," said Capacity's Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Thom Campbell. "We realized that the solution had to be imagined from the bottom up with an understanding of what was needed to solve our particular challenges. It's not just about having a better gripper - you need a fully integrated software and hardware approach, which RightHand has nailed."

Capacity's leadership team chose to invest in RightHand's RightPick(TM) solution, an integrated, software-driven picking solution that flexibly handles thousands of products, including never-before-seen items, and learns and adapts over time.

"We knew from our earliest interactions with RightHand and vetting of other solutions that this was the team and platform we wanted to partner with moving forward," said Campbell.

"We are tremendously excited to be working with Capacity," said Yaro Tenzer, Co-Founder and CEO of RightHand Robotics. "We share a common vision for how robotic piece-picking can be a strategic asset to their business, especially as they continue to grow at a phenomenal rate across multiple product categories and parts of the world. With every pick, the system generates data that helps us further improve performance across their entire fleet of workcells."
