TaroWorks Offers Second Round of $20,000 Grant to Help Last Mile Distributors Scale with Mobile Tech

Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — TaroWorks, the offline mobile field service app, is awarding a $20,000 grant (funded by Qualcomm through its Qualcomm® Wireless Reach™ initiative) to subsidize the digitization of a social enterprise or for-profit organization’s last mile distribution operations in vulnerable communities.

TaroWorks, whose mobile app helps last mile distributors manage and gain greater visibility into sales, inventory, and product maintenance while offline in places like rural India, will award the $20,000 grant to a qualified social enterprise or for-profit organization to contribute to the cost of configuring and deploying TaroWorks’ inventory management system – TaroWorks Enterprise. TaroWorks is accepting applications for the grant from now until October 14, 2022. This is the second round of the grant, the first round focused on nonprofits during the spring of 2022.

“We have heard from many organizations that they lack the financial support they need to implement digital solutions to serve the last mile,” said TaroWorks CEO Brent Chism. “Qualcomm® Wireless Reach™ is covering the costs of designing and implementing TaroWorks tools for one of those organizations, which at the same time will help us learn from last mile distribution managers about what their industry needs to better serve base-of-pyramid communities.”

“Qualcomm is excited to continue our long-term partnership with TaroWorks, and to help drive the impact of nonprofits making a difference by distributing life-changing goods at the last mile,” said Angela Baker, Chief Sustainability Officer, Qualcomm. Qualcomm Wireless Reach has been a proud supporter of TaroWorks since 2014.

Making Last Mile Delivery More Effective

“Distributors who are serving these ‘last mile’ populations…play a crucial role in sustainable development by driving demand for beneficial products and delivering them to hard-to-reach consumers,” wrote leaders of the Global Distributors Collective (GDC), a worldwide coalition of last mile distributors who reach more than 33 million people in last mile households with solar lights, clean cookstoves, and water filters. “While the importance of last mile distribution is increasingly recognized, funding is still not flowing into this space,” they added.

Last mile delivery is considered “the most inefficient process of the entire supply chain” according to a majority of transportation and logistics companies surveyed in a 2020 study of the U.S. and Canadian industry sector. The same group agrees it is critical for companies to “ensure a mobile-first strategy around last mile delivery” by using smartphones, tablets and task-specific apps to improve operations. 

TaroWorks Enterprise helps organizations gain transparency in their last mile operations around procuring, transferring, warehousing, and distributing goods. The offline mobile field service app also enables organizations to collect data, analyze metrics, monitor performance and manage field teams from mobile devices when working in remote areas with little internet or phone service. 

Grant Application Deadline and Evaluation Criteria

TaroWorks will evaluate applications based on business need, potential for long-term success with the system, estimated long-term impact, and financial need. For more information and to apply for the grant funding, visit the TaroWorks Enterprise Grant page.

TaroWorks is a SaaS product integrated with the Salesforce.com CRM platform, so grant applicants must be current or planned Salesforce users in order to be eligible for consideration.

Step into the Gateway to the Future

As a brand, HONOR has consistent investment in Spatial Audio, AI and AR technologies, to unlock immersive experiences and  get ready for the next digital revolution.


Unveiled during HONOR’s IFA keynote session, Gateway to the Future is a new HONOR Talents initiative designed to enrich cultural heritage through the power of technology. In collaboration with ARLOOPA, HONOR challenged two renowned artists – Yunuene and Timo Helgert – to creatively reimagine the iconic Wasserschloss building located in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The AR experience is now live on-location in Speicherstadt, and is also available for users to view at home via the ARLOOPA app, offering smartphone users a new way to discover cultural treasures through immersive AR. The campaign video is available here: https://youtu.be/7rwwZQw2C4M.

Introducing HONOR’s Spatial Audio

Announced during IFA 2022, HONOR’s Spatial Audio solution is designed to enable headphones to produce wide, cinematic 3D sound effects that create the sense of immersion required for next-generation AR and VR experiences.

At its core, HONOR’s Spatial Audio is designed to deliver surround sound and 3D audio through headphones by using the accelerometer and gyroscopes in earbuds to track the motion of the user’s head, remapping the sound field to bring users an immersive and delightful audio experience in all scenarios such as movies, music and games. And by means of the algorithm, the changes of sound on its way from the source to the listener’s ear can be simulated. These effects include localization of sound sources above, below, behind and in the front of the listener.

HONOR’s Spatial Audio is the first to support sound externalization distance adjustment, providing users to dynamically adjust the distance of virtual sound sources from 0.15 to 10 meters to suit a more personalized listening experience.

HONOR Talents: Applications for Interactive AR Artwork Category Now Open

Complementing the initiative, HONOR has introduced a dedicated Interactive AR Artwork category as part of its HONOR Talents global design competition. Within the category, contestants are invited to produce digital AR artworks which creatively transform their neighborhoods, including digital overlays for buildings, walls, parks, and other public spaces, helping to get communities closer to culture. Artists interested in the contest can find more information here: https://www.hihonor.com/honor-talents/en/ 

HONOR also partnered with the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in China to create a new AR artwork titled INFINITY.

HONOR Transforms Iconic Cultural Landmark Through the Power of Technology

Leave a comment

New Gateway to the Future Initiative Aims to Make Culture More Accessible and Engaging in the Era of the Metaverse

BERLIN, Sept. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Global technology brand HONOR today announced Gateway to the Future, an initiative designed to enrich cultural heritage through the power of technology. Launched during its IFA 2022 keynote, HONOR challenged two popular artists to creatively reimagine the Wasserschloss, an iconic landmark located in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site using augmented reality (AR). Set against the backdrop of surging interest in the metaverse and the growth of hybrid tourism, the project aims to inspire global creative talent to leverage innovations such as AI, AR and Spatial Audio to connect communities with culture in more immersive ways and support the global tourism rebound, as the world embraces the connected future.

“As a global technology company, HONOR is committed to developing smart device technology which enables people to celebrate and experience cultural treasures from the past while also discovering the possibilities of the future,” said George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co, Ltd. “We predict the rise of AR and AI technologies being used to create even more phy-gital experiences for smartphone users around the world, contributing to the hybrid tourism boom. Beyond tourism, this technology has the potential to benefit a number of other industries and communities. It really is the Gateway to the Future.”


Celebrating Cultural Heritage in the Metaverse

Renowned for being Germany ‘s “Gateway to the World,” Hamburg evolved from a port city to a thriving metropolis by embracing a longstanding culture of community, collaboration and innovation. Inspired by the city’s history of transformation, HONOR chose Hamburg as the pilot location for the project, with the aim of contributing to the digital cultural boom and inspiring people from all around the world to reimagine cultural treasures in the metaverse.

To bring the project to life, HONOR partnered with ARLOOPA, an AR and VR development company, and celebrated artists Yunuene and Timo Helgert, who creatively transformed the famous Wasserschloss building in AR. 

Yunuene’s contribution to Gateway to the Future, entitled “Sailing Through Time” pays tribute to the evolution of the city’s port, showing how innovation in marine logistics transformed over time with her signature visual aesthetic. Timo Helgert’s experience “Blooming Future” takes a more futuristic approach, playing on Hamburg’s status as one of the greenest cities of the world and creatively imagining what the Wasserschloss would look like in a green future where beautiful plants and endangered species can thrive, taking this historic landmark into an otherworldly realm.

Unlocking Immersive Experiences through the Power of AI and AR

Through the experience, HONOR also contributes to hybrid tourism, an emerging trend following the global tourism rebound, whereby travelers are expecting digital advances made during the pandemic to benefit and augment physical travel experiences. The AR experiences at the Wasserschloss bring the digital and physical worlds together, allowing travelers to experience culture a totally new way. HONOR has been consistently investing in technologies including AI Space Identification, Spatial Audio and AR to enable enhanced immersive experiences fit for the digital revolution.

“The Warehouse District was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015 with the aim of protecting and preserving the history and culture of one of the world’s largest trading ports. Through the advent of emerging technologies including augmented reality, it is now possible to educate and engage future generations about cultural heritage in new and exciting ways. We were therefore proud to be able to help HONOR’s Gateway to the Future initiative, which not only offers a celebration of the district’s significance to Germany, but also its exciting future as a global metropolis,” said Bernd Paulowitz, Head of UNESCO World Heritage Hamburg.

“With tourism soaring to new heights following years of global lockdowns, it’s great to see brands like HONOR bringing new and enriched experiences to people as they start to explore the world again. This summer, our city saw again the same level in visitors as in summer 2019, which in part has been due to new interactive cultural attractions enabled by technology. Inspired by Hamburg’s status as the Gateway to the World, we’re thrilled to partner with the Gateway to the Future initiative, which we are confident will allow visitors and residents of Hamburg alike to connect with the UNESCO World Heritage Speicherstadt in more immersive ways. We are witnessing a huge demand for hybrid experiences, with travelers increasingly expecting a virtual layer to their interactions with cultural landmarks. This is the right time to harness the power of technology in tourism to create magical experiences for tourists around the world,” said, Guido Neumann, Head of PR of Hamburg Tourism Board.

Reimagine Your Community with HONOR Talents

Launched as part of the HONOR Talents Global Design Awards, Gateway to the Future also aims to inspire creative talent from all around the world to harness technology and reimagine their own communities in the era of the metaverse. For the first time, HONOR Talents is introducing a dedicated AR Interactive Artwork Design category, and is now accepting applications for digital art that transforms local neighborhoods, including digital overlays for buildings, walls, parks, and other public spaces. Artists interested in the contest can find more information here: https://www.hihonor.com/honor-talents/en In addition to Gateway to the Future AR experience, HONOR has partnered with the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in China to create a new AR artwork titled “INFINITY”. The art is available at HONOR’s IFA booth through the ARLOOPA app.

AR Experiences are Now Live

Available from today until the end of the year, the Gateway to the Future AR experiences can be accessed through the dedicated HONOR page on the free to download ARLOOPA app. Users have the option to experience the AR artworks on site in Hamburg, or anywhere in the world. The on-site experience is anchored to the Wasserschloss building, and can be viewed from the Poggenmühlen-Brücke, the bridge opposite the landmark. Users who are not in Hamburg can select “experience on any surface” on the app and follow the on-screen instructions to virtually check out the AR experience on a flat surface nearby[1].

For businesses to get actionable intent from their customers receiving calls, the “Call Me Back” capability is now live on the platform. The feature enables enterprises to get call-back requests from customers that might miss an important call. This is one of the first of its kind capability in the market, allowing two-way communication between customers and businesses even when calls are unanswered, further enabling trusted and productive business communication. In addition, the capability will help companies to streamline their calling process and increase their ROI from the overall calling workflow.

Further capabilities like Call Ratings and Surveys are soon being launched as part of the expanded suite of business offerings that will allow businesses to derive real-world insights from end customers to evolve their communication experience.

As part of business platform experience evolution, the company has rolled out a refreshed Verified Business caller ID activation workflow which improves business onboarding by activating their numbers much faster and further shortens the go live cycle for businesses. With increased demand for TfB services, these platform enhancements allow more businesses to get started on the platform in a shorter time.

“I am very pleased that we now launch new products and features that further improves our value proposition to our enterprise customers. With this ramp up we improve our future growth prospects for our business offering” says Alan Mamedi CEO and co-founder of Truecaller.

17 Sing App Celebrates 7th Anniversary

Leave a comment

A New Journey Opens for Music Socialization

TAIPEI, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — In August 2022, 17 Sing app launched the theme activity “Invite you to burn the summer in the name of love” to share the joy of the seventh anniversary celebration with users. It is also hoped that through this online interaction, users will be able to communicate with each other in the app and further develop into a high-quality music social app.

In 2015, the 17 Sing app surpassed 500,000 registered users within six months of its launch and topped the APP Store download charts for three consecutive years. In seven years, users have covered Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and many other Chinese-speaking regions. Countless young people in the Chinese-speaking circle love to sing karaoke and socialize, and have contributed countless exquisite and interesting high-quality karaoke works. In the future, the app will continue to invest in strong tech research to provide powerful online karaoke functions to help them better learn professional singing skills; it will also create a fun, interesting and interactive integration for music lovers’ social platform.

When it comes to the user affirmations and achievements obtained by the 17 Sing APP, Jason Hong, the CEO of 17 Sing, said, “I am extremely proud of what we have achieved in the past seven years. I am honoured to lead this diverse business and the nearly three hundred people who make this company better and bring their best to work every day. The brand is a very young company, and every day that passes is worth celebrating, especially as we mark the milestone of our seventh anniversary. I celebrate not only the growth of our brand but also the direction in which we are taking our business, from understanding user needs to enhancing the user experience. At the same time, we have also made great strides in developing our product features.”

Since the launch of the app, we have continued to develop new features for online karaoke, such as the “Private Chorus”, “AI Rating”, “Personalised MV”, “Quick Sing” and other interactive modes, as well as a series of powerful sound effects for users to choose from. In the future, 17 Sing will continue to update its Karaoke features, starting with improving the user’s singing experience by combining powerful artificial intelligence technology, changing the pitch of singing through analysis, and developing the “One Click Voice Repair” function. In line with the development direction of technological innovation, the 17 Sing app team has been continuously investing in research and development staff to update and optimise the core karaoke functions. In the future, “One Click Voice Repair” will become a special feature of 17 Sing, helping more ordinary users to experience the charm of singing through technology.

In addition to the core Karaoke function, 17 Sing has also launched the “Music Community” and “Live Streaming” functions. These features are based on modern young people’s passion for music and the pursuit of music dreams. Only when users can share common topics in terms of their views or interests can they be motivated to create content in the app, making the conversation endless. They can also tell their stories to others through karaoke room interaction, retweeting, sharing, commenting, and sending circle messages to further deepen their emotional connection. 

Hailee, Vice President and co-founder of the app, said, “After seven years of entrepreneurship, we are very grateful to our users who have supported us along the way. Reaching out to a global Chinese audience from Taiwan has allowed us to reach a wider audience and share the story behind our brand. This journey has created a unique connection with our users, as the app blends music interests with social interaction, and users have grown up on this ground, making a connection that cannot be found in other areas through a commercial model. We are excited to continue to develop the brand with our users.” 

The mobile web has activated the era of social networking for all, such as stranger social networking, marriage social networking, acquaintance social networking, workplace social networking, and so on. Among the many social sub-segments, social interests are a strong demand that cannot be ignored. Music plays an important role in people’s social lives, and in the app, music becomes a second language for communication, helping users to expand their new friendship circles and build emotional connections. Users can also run their own clan in the app, forming groups or inviting others to sing and chat with them. The difference is that in a clan, users can use music as an anchor point to meet new friends who share the same interests and are not limited to acquaintances.

In its seventh anniversary year, Jubilee also launched the “Music Community,” which allows users to make friends with music lovers in the music community through social features. In the coming years, this app will further develop functions that combine music and social interaction to connect users with music-based social interaction and enrich the user experience.

With the optimisation and addition of new features, from recording to choral singing, from chatting to live streaming, the gameplay has become more varied with more improved functions, attracting thousands of singers who share a passion for karaoke to meet at 17 Sing, building an active creative atmosphere on the platform and leaving countless beautiful songs and memories together. In the “Seventh Anniversary, My Story with 17 Sing” campaign, users shared their stories. There are numerous heartwarming moments.

Below its beautiful appearance lies a powerful processor with high energy-efficiency ratio and great capacity. Coupled with the newest cooling technology and fast charging capabilities, it offers a long-lasting and smooth mobile experience in various scenarios.

“vivo V series has always been about being innovative and technologically advanced, while exuding style and encouraging users to create, have fun, and explore.
