Integration enables businesses to connect more than 750 apps to seamlessly automate workflows and migrate data without developer effort

San Bruno, CA (PRWEB) August 16, 2017

Freshworks, the leading provider of cloud-based business software, today announced the integration of Freshsales CRM with Zapier, a popular integration-platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) that allows business users to integrate more than 750 apps, including popular apps such as Slack, Typeform, Google Sheets, Autopilot, and Quickbooks with no developer effort required, thereby eliminating tedious and time-consuming tasks to facilitate flow of information.

Oftentimes, creating integrations between apps can be an expensive, developer effort-intensive and time-consuming processes. Zapier provides an intuitive point and click interface for non-developers to create integrations between apps, termed ‘Zaps’, based on triggers which can set off particular actions. This is of immense value to high-velocity sales teams as it allows them to automate tasks and move data between their favorite apps effortlessly.

"Freshsales CRM makes managing your entire sales process from lead gathering and contact management to tracking and closing deals very simple. With the Zapier integration, the CRM is now instantly connected to over 750 apps that we use in the workplace,” said Srivatsan Venkatesan, Head of Product, Freshsales. "Now our customers can automatically move data between Freshsales and web apps, thus helping them be more productive. Creating workflows with these powerful 'Zaps' are just a few clicks away."

Since all apps on Zapier allow users to create their own integration points using actions and triggers, organizations can design any number of cross-app actions to fit the specific needs of their business.

At launch, Freshsales offers over 10 Zaps that users can use in addition to creating their own Zaps.

The ‘Reap’ my leads bundle helps users create or update leads in Freshsales via Gravity Forms, Typeform, Google Forms, and Facebook Ads.

The ‘Reach’ my leads bundle helps users add leads from Freshsales as new contacts in Autopilot, Mailchimp, or Woodpecker.

The ‘Relay’ my information bundle allows sales teams to stay on top of new leads created in Freshsales via Slack notifications. With this bundle, users can also create or auto-update a contact in Freshsales when a Calendly appointments is scheduled; or add customer conversations via LiveChat chat as notes in Freshsales, making lead management a cinch.

"Automating tedious tasks enables you to focus on your most important work", said Wade Foster, CEO of Zapier. "Now that Freshsales integrates with Zapier, teams can automate their sales workflow using over 750 apps. With prospects being automatically funneled from lead generation tools and reps reacting to lead updates faster, teams will be capable of closing more deals."

The Zapier integration is available to all Freshsales customers.

New Tool Lets Innovative IES, IES Access and Access Plus TMS Users Provide 24/7 Visibility and Shipment Updates to Customers

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) August 16, 2017

Trucking fleets using TMW Systems’ Innovative IES®, Access, or Access Plus transportation management solutions can now extend real-time order and shipping information to their customers with the IES Freight Tracker® portal, an integrated customer service and dispatch solution introduced today. Replacing TMW’s Pressurize platforms, the new visibility portal enables carriers to improve customer satisfaction through accurate, transparent and timely order updates.

“More than ever before, transportation and logistics providers are facing pressure to provide customers with transparency into every step of the delivery process,” said Ray West, senior vice president and general manager of TMS solutions for TMW. “With the launch of the IES Freight Tracker portal, we are enabling Innovative IES users to meet these heightened expectations by giving them a way to provide customers with accurate, up-to-date load status whenever and wherever they want to access them.”

Designed with customer satisfaction in mind, the IES Freight Tracker portal is a scalable and cost-effective customer support tool that integrates into a user’s existing Innovative IES platform. The web-based solution allows carriers to view shipments from multiple customer codes and utilize drag-and-drop functionality to reposition shipment details.

With the new portal, users can offer their customers configurable, secure access to real-time delivery details. Transportation providers can easily customize settings for each customer, allowing them to view orders based on type (shipper, bill to, load at and consignee) and to sort and filter shipment details. In addition, customers can use the portal to access shipment documents and related images, export shipment data to Excel and create up to seven hyperlinks to important documents indexed by order number.

Implementation of the IES Freight Tracker portal requires the use of Innovative IES, Access or Access Plus solutions in version R9.7 or later along with the Innovative Web Edition module. Other requirements include an internet-connected device with a web browser and business-quality internet bandwidth.

To learn more about the IES Freight Tracker portal or any of TMW Systems’ other transportation industry solutions, contact your TMW representative or call (800) 401-6682.

Companies launching pilot program to test new ways of improving urban delivery

SAN FRANCISCO, California (PRWEB) August 16, 2017

Today, Marble -- the maker of autonomous ground-delivery robots -- is announcing a partnership with DoorDash -- an on-demand delivery platform operating in more than 500 cities nationwide -- to begin testing deliveries under a pilot program in the San Francisco Bay Area. Under the pilot program, DoorDash will be using Marble’s robots to deliver customer orders in select neighborhoods.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with DoorDash as we continue to build towards the city of the future, a city in which on-demand delivery is accessible to everyone,” said Marble CEO Matt Delaney. “DoorDash has a strong reputation for top-tier restaurant partnerships and innovative logistics technology. We’re excited to have our robots work with them to expand options for delivery and reduce urban congestion across communities to create a more enjoyable neighborhood experience.”

The pilot program will allow Marble and DoorDash to explore how to best optimize last-mile deliveries in a variety of Bay Area neighborhoods and with the diverse businesses currently on the DoorDash platform. Beginning today, select DoorDash customers may be assigned one of Marble’s friendly neighborhood robots to deliver their order.

“Marble has quickly established itself as an innovative thinker in the autonomous delivery space,” said Stanley Tang, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at DoorDash. “This partnership expands upon our existing tests of new types of delivery technology, including robots, drones and electric bikes. We’re excited to begin working with Marble to make deliveries faster, easier, and more efficient.”

To celebrate the Marble-DoorDash partnership and initial pilot program, the companies partnered with restaurant chain Jack in the Box in early August to test out a delivery in the North Beach neighborhood and showcase the partnership. This delivery demo expands upon the ongoing relationship between Jack in the Box and DoorDash, which recently increased Jack in the Box’s delivery options to more than 830 restaurants across 229 US cities.

Stone Terrace Bed & Breakfast has joined Telsa Motors Destination Charging Program, making it the first in Evanston and first B&B in Illinois to deploy a vehicle charging station on its property.

Evanston, IL (PRWEB) August 16, 2017

Stone Terrace Bed & Breakfast, the luxury bed and breakfast located at 1622 Forest Place in Evanston, Illinois, has joined Telsa Motors Destination Charging Program, making it the first in Evanston and first B&B in Illinois to deploy a vehicle charging station on its property.

The installation includes two “pull up and plug in” wall connectors, which add up to 60 miles of range per hour. A universal adapter is available for non-Telsa electric cars. Electric vehicle (EV) owners can leave their vehicles at the charging station while at the beach, shopping or enjoying time as a guest at the property. The EV charging stations will be free to Inn guests and at a nominal fee to other EV owners. Each station is self-service and easy to operate.

“We’re consistently looking to integrate conservation strategies at our property and felt Tesla had a well-developed EV charging infrastructure that our guests can rely on,” said Tom and Sue Zipprich, innkeepers of Stone Terrace. “We are taking another step toward a cleaner, greener and more sustainable environment and helping to reduce Chicago’s carbon footprint.”

Stone Terrace Bed & Breakfast also uses a geo-thermal heating and cooling system to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment.

In 2017, Tesla plans to double its charging network. It currently offers more than 9,000 Destination Charging connectors that replicate the convenience of home charging by providing hotels, resorts, and restaurants with Tesla Wall Connectors.

Developers Using ironSource’s Mobile Ad Mediation Platform Can Now Get Unprecedented Access To Data on their Ad-Based Revenue; Tool Provides App Developers with the Necessary Measurement to Optimize Monetization Efforts

Tel Aviv, Israel (PRWEB) August 16, 2017

Leading mobile monetization and marketing company ironSource today announced the launch of Ad LTV Prediction, a feature which enables developers to quantify the ad-based revenue generated by their users. The feature is available to developers using ironSource’s leading mobile ad mediation platform, and provides ad LTV metrics across a range of user segments, from daily active users (DAUs), to engaged users and regular users.

“Only a tiny fraction of users make IAPs, meaning that the majority of developers today rely on ad-based monetization as their primary source of revenue,” said Tal Shoham, VP International Business Development, Developer Solutions at ironSource. “Yet until now there has been no way for them to identify and quantify the revenue they are generating solely from ads. Without proper measurement that is real-time and reflects dynamic app changes, developers who rely on ad-based revenue will be fundamentally handicapped, and that’s what our tool is designed to change.”

With the industry’s largest in-app video SSP, ironSource is able to draw from 8B impressions a month, and data from 20+ integrated partner networks to automatically analyze and process global eCPM data per user cohort, country and network. This saves developers hours of manual calculation, enabling them to make better informed, strategic decisions about monetization and marketing in near real-time.

“Our position as a mediation technology provider gives us a unique, bird's eye view of ad data as it breaks down across all the major networks in the industry,” continued Shoham. “Predicting ad-based LTV would normally mean access to an enormous amount of data, hours of manual work and ultimately a lot of guesswork. This tool is a game changer for both app monetization and marketing, eliminating all that work and connecting both sides of the business to allow developers to stay focused on creating great apps.”

In-app advertising is increasingly becoming a key element for app developers approaching their monetization strategy. According to App Annie, ad-based revenue is set to generate the majority of revenue for apps moving forward, more than doubling in annual revenue to $120B in 2020. For both monetization managers and user acquisition managers, being able to accurately estimate the amount of ad-based revenue a user will generate over their lifetime is a critical component to evaluating business health, and campaign efficiency and effectiveness.

“Data is absolutely critical to building a strong app business today - especially when it comes to understanding revenue and LTV,” said George Donovan, Founder of Gogii Games. “Being able to access a blended LTV that includes both IAP and ad-based revenue significantly enriches our understanding of how our apps are performing and what we can do to optimize, and even more critically, in some segments makes UA a reality where it wasn’t before."

ironSource will be demoing the Ad LTV Prediction tool at their booth at the upcoming Gamescom conference in Cologne from the 22-24th August 2017. To schedule a meeting, click here, or stop by Booth 017 in Hall 2.1, Aisle D.

Connected World Will Define How Next-Gen Mobile Devices Share Gigabits of Data, Without Wi-Fi or Wires

Campbell, California (PRWEB) August 16, 2017

Today, a group of leading technology companies and Keyssa investors announced a “Connected World” initiative focused on extremely high-speed data transfer between mobile devices and the increasing number of connected devices. The companies and investors involved include Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd, the world's largest electronics manufacturing company, also known as Foxconn; Keyssa®, the leader in high-speed, contactless connectivity; Samsung, a leader in connected products and solutions for automakers and consumers; and Tony Fadell, inventor of the iPod, iPhone, and founder of Nest.

About the Specification

Core to developing the Connected World ecosystem is Keyssa’s proprietary Kiss Connectivity. Kiss Connectors are proprietary, tiny, low-cost, low-power, solid-state, embeddable electromagnetic connectors that securely move huge files at high bandwidth between devices.

A new technical specification will detail all the requirements necessary to standardize next generation mobile connectivity across devices. The goal is to improve functionality, engineering and design by moving beyond decades-old limitations imposed by wires and Wi-Fi. Connected World will simplify and drastically speed up the way smartphones, peripherals, accessories, the smart home and cars share and sync large data sets – allowing gigabit-size data transfers to take place simply by briefly touching the devices together.

The specification will encompass critical items including device mechanical attach mechanisms, high-bandwidth electromagnetic channel requirements, and device compliance testing. Keyssa will offer a license to all of its IP that reads on the specification, including its system-level patents. A reference design will be available for manufacturers when the specification is made public.

Comments from Key Participants

“Foxconn sees substantial consumer value when our devices can seamlessly connect,” said Dr. Chen, CTO. “We envision a world where devices are connected by simply touching each other, and in that simple touch, gigabits of information are transferred and shared. Keyssa’s technology can enable this vision.”

“It’s been 10 years since the first iPhone appeared, a device that defines the center of our digital life,” says iPhone inventor Tony Fadell. “But in terms of connectivity and device-to-device interaction, we’re still barely scratching the surface of what’s possible. Soon we will be able to see very high-speed connectivity between the automobile, the home and the phone truly creating a connected world without requiring expensive mobile data connections.”

“We live in an increasingly connected world, where devices, accessories, and even automobiles need to seamlessly transfer data, stream video, and communicate with one another,” said Young Sohn, President and Chief Strategy Officer, Samsung Electronics and Chairman of the Board, HARMAN. “Samsung was an early investor in Keyssa because we believe that their unique technology has the potential to shape this new era of connectivity."

“We are happy to be working with our investors, all of whom have been unbelievably supportive throughout the development of this innovative technology,” says Eric Almgren, CEO Keyssa. “We can all envision a world where devices are free from wires and mechanical connectors without sacrificing bandwidth or security. This has been our vision from day one.”

Acting as advisor to the “Connected World” initiative is Tony Fadell, inventor of the iPod, iPhone, and founder of Nest, the company that pioneered the “Internet of things.” Tony is an early investor in Keyssa, served as Chairman of the Board and currently serves as Advisor to the Company.

New milestone represents progress in improving the lives of drivers

South Bend, IN (PRWEB) August 17, 2017

Stay Metrics announces the collection of its 100,000th driver survey as a significant milestone in the trucking industry. Founded in 2012, Stay Metrics provides an evidence-based driver engagement, research and analytics platform that enables motor carriers to retain more of their best drivers.

“Five years ago we set out to change the industry by improving the lives of truck drivers. Our survey products help to accomplish this mission by giving drivers a safe and effective way to provide honest feedback to their carriers,” said Tim Hindes, CEO of Stay Metrics. “We turn this feedback and survey response data into valuable insights that carriers can act on to achieve breakthrough results.”

Stay Metrics’ survey products are administered for clients at critical periods in the employment lifecycle of drivers.

The 7-day driver orientation survey focuses on early job expectations and impressions. The 45-day onboarding survey concentrates on drivers’ early experiences. When responses indicate a high turnover risk both products trigger instant email alerts for managers to intervene and prevent turnover.

The annual Driver Satisfaction survey captures in-depth data on what matters to drivers and their experiences with carriers. Stay Metrics leverages the results from this survey to show each client their areas of strength and weakness relative to peer communities in dry van, flatbed, refrigerated, drayage and other industry sectors. The company also has a predictive turnover model that shows carriers why their drivers leave.

Finally, Stay Metrics conducts Exit Surveys as an independent third party to obtain candid feedback to help carriers make adjustments and fine-tune their strategies.

“Drivers tell us all the time how grateful they are to work for carriers that listen and take actions using information they receive through the surveys,” Hindes said.

With the completion of the 100,000th driver survey, Stay Metrics now has more than 5 million responses to individual questions from drivers in a standardized format. With this growing research database, the company identifies new trends and insights that its clients put to practical use.

In addition to the survey products, Stay Metrics administers a privately branded online driver rewards, recognition and engagement platform for carriers. Analysis shows that engaged drivers who log in more frequently to their carrier’s rewards site are more than twice as likely to stay with their company.

The online platform also has an expanding library of Drive Safe and Drive Fit learning modules developed by experts in instructional design. These innovative educational and training modules cater to the unique learning preferences and learning culture of truck drivers.

Stay Metrics continues to develop new products to further improve the lives of drivers. The most recent are an online Drive First orientation training program and a values-based Driver Matching assessment program; the latter is offered through a partnership with Twegos.
