Biamp Systems Releases Tesira® Graphic Control Software

As a leading provider of innovative, networked media systems, Biamp Systems announces the release of its Tesira DSP graphic control software program–Biamp Canvas.

Allowing for the creation and use of customized computer control screens with Tesira audio systems, the function and appearance of the graphic control interface can be tailored to the exact needs of the user. An array of drawing tools is provided for extensive graphic manipulation of controls, backgrounds, and labeling.

A prominent feature of Biamp Canvas is the ability to copy and paste, or drag and drop component objects directly from the system design file into the software, producing completely pre-assigned control elements and greatly streamlining control surface creation. End users can also easily navigate between multiple pages/tabs of operation. 

Additional features include the ability to create control for room combiners, place controls and assign them to system functions, and update preset settings directly within the Biamp Canvas software program.

“Biamp Canvas has some cool features that our customers have told us they’ve been wishing for,” said Justin O’Connor, Product Manager at Biamp Systems. “We’re happy to be able to provide them with a control interface that meets those desires, and allow system integrators to bring the power of Tesira to their customers’ fingers.”

The Shoe Gallery Steps Up Inventory Control with Command Retail

Technology Corp. has been a leader (http://www.celerant.com/index.cfm/press-room/press-releases/celerant-technology-tops-the-ris-leaderboard-for-sixth-year-in-a-row/) in the retail software (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software) industry since 1999. Celerant’s real-time (http://www.celerant.com/retail-system-architecture/real-t...), retail management system (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/), Command Retail (http://www.commandretail.com/), has managed all areas of The Shoe Gallery’s retail operations, including point of sale (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/point-of-sale/), inventory management, E-Commerce (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/e-commerce/), customer relationship management (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/crm/), warehouse (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/warehouse/), distribution, allocation, and back-office for the past seven years. 

Ian Goldman, President and CEO of Celerant Technology, said, “In developing our software, we focus on all of the retailer’s needs. From customer-facing functions to back-office reporting, we provide the retailer with a complete real-time, all-in-one system.  For footwear retailers (http://www.celerant.com/retail-industries/foot-wear/), it is necessary to categorize shoes by size, width, and color, so we developed a detailed Style Matrix in our inventory module.  The style matrix is a three-dimensional graphical representation of all the SKUs by size, width, and color.  We also have 20 optional Open Fields, which can be used to further classify the product, by heel height for instance.  Each retailer can use the system in a way that makes sense for their business, because we understand that each retailer is unique.” 

For The Shoe Gallery’s CFO Will Brooks, Celerant’s Style Matrix is imperative. Brooks said, “I wouldn’t have bought the system without it. It’s critical. We have four stores and an integrated E-Commerce site and a lot of inventory. With the Matrix we can see what we have in stock and what we’ve sold and we can easily buy our most popular items and restock. If we didn’t have the size/width/color matrix, we’d have to revert back to pen and paper and go to the sales floor and stock room to count the inventory before placing reorder. With Celerant, I can look at the Matrix and create a purchase order with ease. It’s saved so much time!”

Brooks believes Command Retail has accelerated The Shoe Gallery’s growth. “We are very pleased with the trajectory of growth we have achieved with Celerant. The E-Commerce site took our regional stores to a national level. The real-time visibility of the style matrix lets us compare inventory across all of our stores and website. We’re able to see at a glance where styles are selling better, so we can allocate our products where they are needed most. Without Celerant, I wouldn’t be able to react to sales trends as quickly and I would have more stock-outs and over-stocks, which would drive my customers to competitors’ stores.”

The Shoe Gallery carries famous name brand shoes for the whole family, including discount shoes for kids as well as a wide range of fashionable accessories. They currently have four locations across Georgia, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. The Shoe Gallery shoes are also available at www.shoegalleryonline.com.

Pocomos Pest Control Software!

Where does a pest control company lose money? Does it come from ill-advised routes swirling endlessly through slow neighborhood roads? Does it come from spilled, lost, or stolen chemicals? Does it come from employees wasting time?

If you asked the founders of Pocomos, they would answer with a resounding yes. However, they would continue to tell you that in an industry so focused operations, an important key is often forgotten. Pest control companies must have tight operations to survive, but to thrive, companies must focus on sales and retention.

The founders of Pocomos pest control software would go on to say they just released a new sales and retention utility.

“Pocomos comes loaded with tools that increase sales and decrease customer attrition,” says Pocomos co-founder Jeremiah Olsen.

Pocomos’ new sales utility provides cloud-based sales tracking, closing rates, and lead information to sales staff. Users can track their sales progress against other staff in their office, other offices, company averages, and their own personal goals.

“We know that what you track, you increase, and when that tracking is measured against others in a friendly competition, the rate of growth accelerates,” said Olsen.

Beyond its ability to increase sales and provide sales tools, Pocomos provides its users with a cloud-based experience across all platforms. Salespeople, office staff, and management can collaborate simultaneously from Macs, Windows, iPads, Androids, and other platforms.

“Having live sales information increases motivation for our sales reps. Pocomos’ sales tracking tools increase competition among sellers, which increases our total sales. With Pocomos’ mobile capabilities, new customers don’t get lost, we retain serviced accounts, and our bottom line goes up,” said Chip White, owner of White Knight Pest Control of Texas.

The developers from Pocomos who designed the sales utility said the new sales tools are user-oriented, easy to figure out, and powerful.

“We wanted to create a system that people would actually use to increase sales, “ said Scott Hunter, lead project manager from Pocomos.

Pocomos offers free online trials of their sales utility by visiting www.pocomos.net or calling 801-900-3555. In addition to sales software, Pocomos provides enterprise level operations software.

Pocomos was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Orem, Utah where its founders reside.
