RedFin POS Launches SharkSwipe Mobile Transaction App for iOS and Android

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., March 29, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- RedFin POS (www.redfinpos.com), a leading provider of secure payment applications and payment gateway solutions, has launched SharkSwipe(TM): a mobile app that allows for mobile transactions utilizing the super-compact, Bluetooth MSR/Chip & PIN SharkSwipe device. The free app is available today by visiting the Apple iTunes App Store, or Google Play Store.

SharkSwipe(TM) leverages a Bluetooth card reader that accepts MSR, and will be able to process EMV chip cards as processor certifications are completed. It's fast. It's fierce. It's at the top of the food chain in mobile payments.

"SharkSwipe mobile app creates the maximum in customer experience utilizing industry innovative technology," says Frank Bocchino, RedFin's marketing representative. "This top-shelf mobile tool provides more convenience and value-adds to merchants at a price point most can afford."

RedFin POS incorporates Bluetooth peripherals rather than traditional third-party audio jack devices for its mPOS environment. We feel this promotes a secure and more reliable transaction process.

"When OS updates occur, the audio jack communication protocol can become affected, often rendering the peripheral device useless until an update is provided," adds Bocchino. "Also mobile phones with cases will often prevent a secure connection with audio jack dependent devices. With SharkSwipe, merchants are able to leverage the flexibility and convenience of a Bluetooth device at a price point comparable with audio jack devices."

About RedFin POS:

RedFin POS Systems provide point-of-sale (POS) solutions to all merchant types. RedFin provides PCI-certified, market-ready POS solutions for Mobile Merchants, Hospitality, Wireless, Retail, Transportation, and Enterprise businesses. RedFin POS provides 24/7/365 Class A support, distribution, wireless activation, billing and fulfillment for third-party products and services.

Kick Punch Labs Invites Idea Makers to Disrupt Industries in Four Ways

FULLERTON, Calif., Oct. 29, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Kick Punch Labs, a web and app development firm, knows that idea makers might find the app ecosystem intimidating, but it believes that it's still an open market for people who know how to disrupt the current environment.

"Consumers spend 85 percent of their time on smartphones," Lance Mayfield, owner, Kick Punch Labs, says. "It's a billion dollar business that's no longer easy to penetrate. However, the opportunities are still there - the difficulty is finding the right niche to disrupt an industry."

Mayfield illustrates his point through a social media example.

"Most people think that Facebook will always be the top dog, but look at the market value for newer apps such as Pinterest, Snapchat and Instagram. Each of them has a slightly different angle than Facebook, and these app owners have been able to carve out a slice of the social media app pie."

Four methods are currently used to create a platform to gain user attention:

1. Intermediate the Industry. Several app creators have found their niche by wedging between a buyer and a seller. Take GrubHub as an example. This company is not a seller or buyer. They exist to bridge the gap between restaurants (sellers) and hungry patrons (buyers). This service provides an intermediate within the industry that buyers and sellers rely on.

2. Dis-Intermediation the Industry. Opposite from intermediation, dis-intermediation is the process of cutting out the middle man. The best example of dis-intermediation is eBay.

3. Gamification. This is one way new app creators can find an addictive edge in the market. Of the 85 percent of time people spend on their smartphones, 43 percent of that time is spent playing smart device games. App games are the hottest area in the market, but even non-gaming platforms can engage users. Take Fitbit as an example. Fitbit uses the Matchup app to challenge each of its users. Users keep track of goals and compare their fitness achievements with other users.

4. Niche an Existing Idea. Some app owners find success by completely revolutionizing the industry and making their own niche. Every niche has a beginning, and some of the biggest brands were from creators who just "do it better." Google took over AltaVista, Facebook replaced MySpace, and Apple and Android overtook the dominant Blackberry market.

"Creating your own niche is one of the most difficult, yet rewarding of all four methods," Mayfield says. "Chances are that one of these four methods matches your app idea. You just need to figure your angle, mold a few marketing techniques and listen to user feedback to continually tweak your ideas."

Civic Resource Group Int’l CivicConnect Parking Featured on California Mobile Gallery as ‘ParkItDTSD’ App

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 9, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Civic Resource Group International (CRGI) today announced inclusion of CivicConnect(TM) Parking, the Company's high performing product from its "Smart Cities" Portfolio, in California Mobile Gallery. The product was successfully implemented in San Diego as "ParkItDTSD" and is featured in the Gallery under this name.

The City of San Diego's owned non-profit organization CivicSD ("Civic San Diego") teamed up with Civic Resource Group International, a pioneering developer of "Smart City" digital products, to build a comprehensive parking solution to help streamline public and private parking for residents, workers and visitors in Downtown San Diego. This product provides real-time parking information. It is fully adaptable as a web portal, mobile app or digital display. ParkItDTSD features location-aware mapping and alerts, visuals, filtering tools, GIS integration, and the local operators are partners in updating the data. The app seamlessly integrates multiple vendor parking APIs and public and private real-time parking data so users can easily obtain off-street parking availability and general parking information on their portable devices.

ParkItDTSD is connected to CRGI's fully integrated Mobile/Data/Cloud Platform CivicConnect(TM). This connection will allow the City of San Diego to evolve the app because the future phases for CivicSD will include connecting information about San Diego events, neighborhoods and business districts, public transit, and more.

ParkItDTSD can be found in the Gallery by entering keywords in the search, such as City of San Diego, San Diego, ParkItDTSD. The California Mobile Gallery provides users with the ability to find services and information (local and state) nearest their location from their smart device wherever they are located. Inclusion of City of San Diego ParkItDTSD app in the gallery also provides the city with a unique location for any other apps they add to the gallery, in essence providing the city with its own virtual listing of their mobile apps for the public.

"We're excited to add the City of San Diego's ParkItDTSD mobile app to the California Mobile Gallery which further bolsters the public resources available at the fingertips of Californians," said Scott Paterson, Deputy Director of Enterprise Solutions for the California Department of Technology. "The goal of the California Mobile Gallery is simple - to provide the public with a single point of contact for all mobile government services and information. As of today, we have 35 unique local government apps and it is increasing everyday."

Dr. Gregory G. Curtin, Founder and CEO, CRG Int'l stated, "CRGI's signature approach is to connect applications and data through our CivicConnect(TM) platform in a way that evolves and continues to flourish over time."

Dr. Curtin further explained, "While working with CivicSD we kept in the view the big picture of San Diego becoming a true 'Smart City.' Starting with the parking app, we took it a step further and offered a comprehensive 'Smart City' solution, that will over time connect information about San Diego's arts and cultural events, neighborhoods and business districts, public transit and tourism. ParkItDTSD turned out to be a successful 'Smart City' app and we are delighted to see it in the California Mobile Gallery, which is fast becoming the biggest, richest, best Public Sector Apps Gallery on the planet!"

"We are proud and excited to have our ParkItDTSD featured on the California Mobile Gallery. The goal of the app is to make navigating for parking downtown San Diego easier. Now, with this added exposure, visitors from across the State, even country, can have access to this resource. We hope the app, as a parking tool and as it evolves to include additional features, becomes a model for other cities," said Reese A. Jarrett, President of Civic San Diego.

Civic Resource Group International First Government Technology Provider to Bring Mobile Augmented Reality Product into Public Sector

LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 30, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Civic Resource Group Int'l (CRGI) today announced the worldwide release of CivicAR(TM) - the first Mobile Augmented Reality (AR) solution for the public sector. The new product will enable governments and public sector agencies to deliver information and services directly to citizens and communities in a highly contextual and easy to use mobile environment.

CRGI developed CivicAR(TM) using patented technology with the goal of making Augmented Reality applicable for practical, business-specific uses in the civic sector. The robust CivicAR(TM) platform includes advanced Visual Search allowing users to easily scan city assets (bus stops, subway stations, restaurants, signs, trees, etc.) with their mobile devices for digital information. The Virtual Teleportation feature enables citizens/visitors to explore points of interests, facilities and distant locations with 360 views, all remotely.
