SHENZHEN, China, July 17, 2020 — Oucica, a subsidiary of Huntkey, has announced the availability of its small-size desktop air purifier – the DJ010. The purifier is integrated with photocatalyst and HEPA filters, which is ideal for removing bacteria, viruses, chemical vapors, odors, haze particles and many more. It is well-suited for small working rooms or living rooms.
The key feature of the DJ010 is air purification by photocatalyst. Photocatalyst is a catalyst that can activate chemical reactions like decomposing organic compounds into carbon dioxide and water. By this means, a photocatalyst air purifier is able to clean air by removing stubborn airborne hazards like viruses and bacteria, which is a key difference between photocatalyst air purifiers and the ordinary ones.
The DJ010 is designed like an egg. It measures a dimension of Φ108*160mm and its air volume is 10cbm/h at the maximum, which is suitable for air cleaning for a room space of 8-10cbm. It features a standby consumption of lower than 200mW, as well as a noise level of 38dB(A) at the maximum. For more product information, please visit: http://en.huntkey.com/
Oucica, a subsidiary of Huntkey, specializes in the development of photocatalyst air purifiers. To improve the air quality of working, living or studying, it has developed a series of air purifiers including model KJ380 for large spaces, CJ001 for car sterilizing and DJ010 for desktops.

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 15, 2020 — In response to the changing demands of consumers and a record peak in online orders during COVID-19, Australia’s largest pharmacy retailer, Chemist Warehouse, has teamed up with Cohesio Group (Körber) to launch a same-day delivery service for its 1.5 million weekly customers.
From L – R: Rizan Mawzoon, Head of Transportation at Cohesio Group, Mark Finocchiaro, Managing Partner and Director at Chemist Warehouse, Edwin Chong, Project Manager and Tim Noakes, Development Lead at Cohesio Group
Established in 2002, Chemist Warehouse has grown to become Australia’s largest pharmacy retailer. Operating more than 500 stores across the nation, the leading retailer now services more than 1.5 million customers and dispenses almost a million prescriptions per week.
Since COVID-19, Chemist Warehouse has experienced a huge increase in online orders, reaching higher levels than previous Black Friday and Christmas peaks.
As a result, the retailer has launched Click and Deliver, a new same-day delivery service from Chemist Warehouse and Cohesio Group to offer customers flexible and convenient delivery options. The new solution will complement the retailer’s previous sophisticated Click and Collect offering.
“We wanted to ensure that we could offer our customers the safest possible option to shop during COVID-19 restrictions. We knew that for many they felt it was a risk to leave their homes and shop in the traditional way, so we approached Cohesio Group to help us develop our existing Click and Collect solution to become a Click and Deliver solution,” Mark Finocchiaro, Managing Partner and Director, Chemist Warehouse Group said.
The solution was developed in four-weeks by Melbourne-based technology provider Cohesio Group and the first stage has been rolled out across all of Chemist Warehouse’s stores in Australia, with New Zealand set to follow.
Chemist Warehouse and Cohesio Group have worked together since 2017, with Chemist Warehouse deploying Cohesio’s dedicated retail software, Ignito, to power its Click and Collect processes.
Since Chemist Warehouse introduced Cohesio’s Ignito software solution in 2017, the retailer has increased order fulfilment throughput rates by up to 30 per cent and has since used the software to fulfil up to 150,000 online orders a month.
In order to gain faster fulfilment times, Cohesio developed a solution whereby the picking and packing of online orders is done in store, instead of from a central distribution centre (DC).
“Chemist Warehouse stores are unique in that they tend to be very large facilities and hold a huge amount of inventory. We recognised that this created the perfect opportunity to fulfil orders in store, rather than from a DC,” Rizan Mawzoon, Head of Transformation at Cohesio Group said.
“This kind of fulfilment is on the rise as e-commerce continues to take up a larger percentage of the retail spend. We knew this kind of approach would work very well for Chemist Warehouse and we’re absolutely thrilled with the results,” Nishan Wijemanne, CEO of Cohesio Group said.
When a customer selects an order on the Chemist Warehouse website or app, the Chemist Warehouse Order Management System (OMS) will check the stock levels in the stores closest to that customer to fulfil the order.
The app will also profile the consumer and recognise if they have previously visited or ordered from a particular local store.
“The system then sends a message to the store inventory team and communicates which orders are for Click and Deliver, and which are for Click and Collect,” Rizan said.
“We recognise the critical role that we play in keeping Australians healthy and giving them access to essential goods for the benefit of their health. We knew we needed to come up with a solution that reduced anxiety and risk for the most vulnerable members of our communities. Cohesio rose to the challenge and we are proud to be able to keep serving our customers with flexible and convenient delivery options,” Mark Finocchiaro, Managing Partner and Director, Chemist Warehouse Group concluded.
Cohesio Group is part of international technology group Körber. Kӧrber’s supply chain expertise, spanning software to materials handling equipment, also includes Aberle, Aberle Software, Cirrus Logistics, Consoveyo, DMLogic, HighJump, inconso, Otimis,Langhammer, Riantics and Voiteq.

PARIS, July 13, 2020 — Behind the closed-doors of the glitzy Bellagraph Nova Group office inside 10 Place Vendôme, Paris, a series of stimulating, intellectual discussions and negotiations have been taking place over the last few months, some of these exhilarating discussions will go down in history as one of those defining moments that will forge the destiny of a multibillion global company and potentially even the new digital world.
The New Social Technology Revolution – Panel Discussion With Bellagraph Nova Group Founders And Barack Obama On Their Ambitious Quest To Seize The Opportunity Of A Lifetime In The Post Pandemic World.
Headquartered in Paris, France, the Bellagraph Nova Group (BN Group), the conglomerate overseeing 31 business entities, across 100 countries, is the world’s fastest growing 360˚ lifestyle platform. Founded by the trailblazing trio, Ms. Evangeline Shen, Mr. Nelson Loh and Terence Loh, the Bellagraph Nova Group since its inception, has taken the world by storm, making strategic chess moves that even the greatest Grandmasters will be proud of.
One such brave move was the decision of the trio to embark on their landmark merger in the midst of the global pandemic crisis. The audacity to even fathom such a strategic thought by itself, is already no mean feat and the ability to pull it off was nothing short of a miracle move.
Below is an excerpt of some of the interview questions, discussed over the last few months behind closed doors, while the world was battling the Covid 19 crisis.
Question 1) Following the multi-billion dollar landmark merger between DORR Group and the Bellagraph Group of Companies and setting the new global HQ office at Paris, what is the rationale behind this brave decision in the midst of the worst pandemic crisis in human history and what inspired the founders of BN Group to embark on such ambitious, expansionary plans that the Group has been making over the last few months.
If one were to look back into the sands of time, all the previous pandemics in human history have massively reshaped our society, reformed religious existence, altered values of mankind and changed social behavior patterns globally. Starting from the 14th century, the Black Death rapidly spread across Europe until 1771 and killed over 75 million people. The pandemic immediately heralded changes in both the social and political systems and directly led to the collapse of feudalism.
According to Boccaccio in “The Decameron”, the Black Death led to monumental changes in social structure and religious form, which ended the Catholic Reign and resulted in an integration of various religions throughout Europe. Furthermore, this pandemic brought about massive wealth erosion in Europe and laid the foundation for the birth of laissez faire capitalism as well as catalyzed the industrial revolution in the 18th century.
In 1918, the Spanish flu quickly spread throughout Europe and eventually the world. According to scholars, over 1.8 billion people were infected worldwide. While this plague did not directly reshape social structures, the Spanish Flu did have a profound impact by ending World War I. The Spanish Flu outbreak also spawned the feminist movement due to a decline in labor force and the redistribution of wealth, thereby leading to the 19th amendment in the US Constitution and other historical human rights movements. From this perspective, the Spanish Flu was the ultimate factor advancing mankind towards modern civilization as well as promoting focus on women empowerment.
Will the Coronavirus disease cause more impact than the Spanish Flu or even the Black Death? As history has taught us, the effects of these global phenomenons can occur years, decades and centuries after a global changing event. Given human’s finite lifespan, one can never truly foresee the after-effects of any global pandemic.
Only time will tell the full impact and after-effects in the post Covid world. However, we have already witnessed how the Coronavirus disease has massively altered human behavior patterns, most notably shifting multiple forms of social interaction from offline to online (O2O) and this O2O transition will only accelerate going forward and drive human behavior across all facets of our lives. We at the BN Group call it “the new social technology revolution”.
As countries around the world are adopting aggressive expansionary financial policies, it will bring about global asset appreciation and new investment opportunities. Geopolitics will have contracted significantly and lead to more regionally based operations for multinational companies. Looking further ahead, just as the Black Death and the Spanish Flu has advanced modernization, the Coronavirus will also lead mankind to thrive and to advance faster across all aspects, such as technology and human civilization. This means it will also catalyze human rights movements, such as the movement regarding George Floyd in the United States. Along the same vein, it will also result in movements such as women empowerment movements, LGBT movements, religious harmony movements to promote social reform. And it will catalyze technical revolution on the same basis.
To summarize, each of these historical pandemics will firstly always result in global regionalization. It is challenging to all global enterprises, including the Bellagraph Nova Group, to respond to such challenges, we are establishing more local presence by setting up more regional offices in our respective target markets. The recent merger of the Bellagraph Nova Group, who has a strong presence in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa, has allowed this new conglomerate to already enjoy improved operational efficiencies throughout its expansive network around the world.
Secondly, these global events have corresponded to more emphasis and focus on humanity and human rights in addition to technological advancement. Europe has always been the frontier of such advancement and human rights movement, hence the BN Group has chosen Paris as its new global headquarters. Our decision to move back to Paris is inevitable. It is as if we are answering our call to destiny and retracing the path of history.
Question 2) Many businesses have complained that this devastating crisis is detrimental to everyone globally and some call it the Black Swan Event. To what extent has the pandemic affected the original launch plan of the Group? What has been done to make up for it?
We strongly believe that this pandemic is no different from any other global crisis, it would only impact businesses that are weak, that are problematic, that are not willing to disrupt themselves. And for us, the BN Group, it is not a challenge, but an opportunity.
When the pandemic started, as countries around the world began to close their borders and limit travel, we quickly realized that major countries in Europe and America would restore their positioning as regional centers, and it would be essential to set up a local headquarter in each respective region. Therefore, we accelerated the merger of the Bellagraph Nova Group and immediately decided to move our new headquarters to Paris given it is in the heart of Europe. This has allowed us to seize opportunities in expansion and to further our investments, as global financial institutions embark on unprecedented aggressive expansionary fiscal and monetary policy stimulus strategies.
The New Social Technology Revolution – Panel Discussion With Bellagraph Nova Group Founders And Barack Obama On Their Ambitious Quest To Seize The Opportunity Of A Lifetime In The Post Pandemic World.
Question 3) We understand that Ms. Evangeline Shen, Mr. Nelson Loh and Mr. Terence Loh or better known as the successful trailblazing trio have been actively engaged in merger talks since early 2019 and despite in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic crisis, the three of you have still decided to complete the merger. Can you elaborate more on this? How was this achieved during the pandemic especially when we have witnessed several landmark deals being cancelled as a result of Covid 19 (for example the pending LVMH acquisition of Tiffany running into problems)?
The past eighteen months have posed many challenges for us to close the deal. There is the ongoing trade war between China and the United States, as well as several geopolitical issues around the world. At the same time, the world seemed to take a heavier hit and started to crumble when Covid 19 hit the global economy. These challenges are unprecedented and may appear insurmountable to those entrepreneurs and global leaders who are weak, who are narrow minded and who have limited vision. But we believed deep in our hearts and minds, that looking back at history, not only is this Covid 19 pandemic not unprecedented, today’s crisis is insignificant compared to what happened during 1914 to 1945.
Mankind has overcome much worse. During the 20th century, there was World War I, and then followed by the decade long Great Depression era, and then soon afterwards World War II befell. The world economy was in a much worse state than now, but it was during such crisis, that the United States became the world’s most powerful country, and its economy kept growing until today.
The three co-founders of the Bellagraph Nova Group have this strong belief, that the Coronavirus situation should not be construed as another challenging crisis. It is in fact the opportunity of a lifetime for the BN Group. For a company like us, which has deep experience and capabilities in social media and social networks and coupled with the fact that our company not only possesses state-of-the-art technological innovation, we also strongly value human rights. We are proud that the group focuses on advancing human civilization as our key initiatives, and today’s global platform provides the best opportunity ever to promote our values and beliefs. This is where our strength lies.
It is not just talk, but all about the actions we take, demonstrating our beliefs and values. The Bellagraph Nova Group appointed the only female amongst the three co-founders, Ms Evangeline Shen as the Group’s chairman, engaged former LVMH group executive Nereides de Bourbon as global marketing and investor relations director, who is a member of the LGBT committee. The Group also appointed Monica Bellucci, the global renowned Hollywood celebrity, on the board as a non-executive Director focusing on sustainability and the group’s charity foundation effort.
In addition, the company has also acquired former L’Oreal Group’s network spokesperson Badara Ndiaye as the company’s brand planning and product spokesperson. The BN Group is providing a prime example, by providing opportunities equally to the most talented individuals regardless of their gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation. This has demonstrated our initiatives of truly promoting humanity and advancing civilization. It is not only our vision, but also our responsibility as a leading global enterprise to be a role model for all the other enterprises.
Question 4) In order to still be able to expand and launch new projects during times like this, one probably has to have very deep pockets. And to continue to go ahead with business expansion, you need to be able to afford to “bleed” during this long-lasting global crisis period. Do you agree? Why or why not?
With a total of 31 major subsidiaries, operating in more than 100 countries and employing over 23,000 employees worldwide, the Bellagraph Nova Group is an established global conglomerate. Not only does the company have sufficient capital to deploy, it also has strong presence in human resources and operational infrastructure, especially in Europe and the US. It is not only funds that are required to plan for business expansion nowadays but more importantly one also requires courage and visionary strategies.
Our BN group already possesses very well-organized infrastructure in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. The BN Group has adapted quickly to maintain a highly profitable business model across all its entities while still being able to either enhance the valuation for its respective holdings. Not surprisingly, the successful track record of the BN Group has not gone unnoticed and has caught the eye and impressed global investors around the world from the Middle East to the United States.
Through one of the BN Group’s entities, Bellagraph Jewelry’s client relationship management, the King of Saudi Arabia, the King of Qatar, and Queen Mother of Qatar have expressed their interest on investment opportunities and collaborations. Through our extensive work with the Obama Foundation charitable initiatives as well as ongoing effort to promote human rights, we have attracted several global companies such as the likes of Citibank, JP Morgan, and other established Global Fortune 500 companies to partner with the BN Group.
Our BN group has unparalleled resources globally in this new digital economy. One of the BN Group’s key strengths is its ability to brand and market its vision and business successes digitally across social media worldwide. Based in North America, the Bellagraph Media production team garners over 20 million hits every seven days. This viewership exposure is comparable to video playback analytics similar to the likes of Apple during the release of its latest iPhone model. Such capability is vital to this era we call the “new social technology revolution” and this is the basis of our incredible success.

SHANGHAI, July 13, 2020 — O’Ratings, a third party monitor, released the data of Chinese mid-year shopping festival on July 1st. It showed that live-stream shopping hit another new record in China, contributing 24.2 billion RMB (449.5 million US$) sales during the recent mid-year shopping campaign. Live streaming is becoming a staple of e-commerce product promotion.
Live stream shopping has been developed since 2016 by e-commerce platforms in China and set off an upsurge in 2018 when popular live-streamers could sell more than 300 million RMB (43 million US$) a year and their online viewers could reach 10 million at one time. During the pandemic, bridging the gap between the source of goods and consumers, the Chinese government encouraged people to use live-streaming to sell unsalable products caused by massive lockdowns and upgraded the live-stream shopping industry. Now live stream is indispensable for product marketing in China.
O’Ratings monitored 806,000 live streaming chat rooms across different platforms on June 18th, China’s mid-year shopping festival, and it showed that the amount of sales was over 3.5 billion RMB (500.6 million US$) and 412 million viewers watched live streams on that day. Taking the sales since the very beginning of 618 shopping campaign into account, the total sales was 24.2 billion RMB (3.4 billion US$). The top 3 best-selling categories on Taobao were jewelry, clothes and food, and the top 3 on Douyin (Chinese TikTok) were food, mother and baby products and cosmetics.
Five indexes O’Ratings are monitoring

Key findings of O’Ratings’ monitoring data
Many brands pay celebrities a lot for product promotion, but professional live-streamers’ performance is much better than celebrities’. O’Ratings picks 30 popular live-streamers and 30 celebrities, and analyzes their 10 week live-streaming performance. It shows that professional live-streamers’ sales index was 8 times of celebrities’.
Timing is very important when retailers choose live-streamers to sell products. After calculation, it finds that every product is sold at a fixed frequency. Those fast-consuming products have a higher frequency than durable ones. For example, snacks’ frequency is one day, while cellphone’s is 55 days. Because if a live-streamer sells cellphones today, the fans do not need to buy another phone for some time. When retailers promote their products by live stream, they should notice the time period of product and whether the live-streamer has sold the same kind of product recently.
Non-standard product, like jade and pets, have great potential in live-streaming. With the live stream market taking shape, popular live-streamers who are preferred by retailers, occupy most of the market share. But they can not substitute live-streamers who sell unique products. For example, a baker streams how he makes a cake and sells it.

The three founders passionately shared their vision where technological disruption is essential to bringing about positive change in our society. As a result of their historic meeting with Barack Obama, NETX was born … The rest as they say is history.

In President Obama’s own words, ” What we’re seeing here is the way that technology is changing not just how you do business, not just how you buy products, but also how you interact, how you organize politically, how you get involved in the community and how you solve problems. And all of that can support millions of new jobs.”
Those very own words of President Obama prompted the three founders’ subsequent quote: “Following our meeting with President Obama in Dec 2019, the three of us were greatly inspired by his vision. It resonated strongly with ours, so much so our exhilarated actions led to the launch of NETX.” Over the last 6 months, it has been a primary focal point of the BN Group to channel its energy and global resources into the development and commercialization of the rapidly growing global robotics market which is forecast to grow to over US$160 billion by 2025. Especially in light of the post COVID-19 pandemic, the global adoption of AI and robotics will be even faster and across all aspects of our lives.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, NETX already dispatched domestic service robots to support frontline healthcare workers worldwide, protecting over 80,000 patients and medical staff. NETX has also implemented AI in its Remote Access technology which has greatly reduced the risk of exposure in otherwise hazardous conditions. In seeing the successful applications of NETX’s robotics and AI technology, the BN Group is planning the distribution and implementation of NETX to the company’s worldwide network of hospitals, clinics, commercial and retail locations.
While many questions still remain unanswered regarding the world of robotics and how these machines will affect society, there should be no question of the Bellagraph Nova Group’s unwavering commitment to simply making our world a better place by investing in the future with its focus on the development and application of robotic technology in its latest exciting chapter, NETX.

Lemnisk releases several significant platform enhancements including probabilistic user data stitching, AI-based recommendations for new business verticals and deeper app and multi-channel personalization capabilities
BANGALORE, India, July 8, 2020 — Lemnisk, the world’s first real-time cross-channel marketing automation system built on an intelligent and secure Customer Data Platform (CDP), today announced the general availability of key features and enhancements to its product offering.
Lemnisk’s platform has been further upgraded this year with various enhancements such as probabilistic user data stitching across adtech and martech and social data sources, AI-based product recommendations, support for retail and e-commerce verticals, as well as deeper app personalization capabilities.
All of these features along with the existing capabilities like Ramanujan, an AI engine to orchestrate single user journeys, are now also available on a new and intuitive user interface that’s winning praise from customers for its ease of use.
The company is committed to building products around the key needs of its customers – acquiring new customers, engaging at scale with existing customers, and driving better RoI from the existing marketing stack and initiatives.
“We have emerged as one of the leading CDP players in Asia and the Middle East. Right from tying up with the biggest bank in UAE to forming a solid relationship with a leading South East Asian insurance brand to signing up India’s largest private bank, we’ve had a very successful run in the market so far. This year, we were also recognized by Forrester Research as a Leading Real-Time Interaction Management (RTIM) provider in its ‘Now Tech: RTIM, Q2 2020’ report,” said Subra Krishnan, CEO, Lemnisk.
Earlier this year, Lemnisk also expanded its support for verticals outside Banking, Insurance, and Financial Services. Customers in Retail, E-Commerce, Travel and Hospitality, and other verticals can also sign up for their acclaimed and proven Customer Data Platform.
“Our goal in 2020 is to effectively use our platform in tackling COVID-19 and the post pandemic digital imperative for our clients. With an AI-powered CDP as the bedrock, real-time marketing automation can transcend to a whole new level for marketers. Lemnisk’s tightly integrated and organic customer data platform can be a single tool that can effectively play the role of a first party DMP, Marketing Automation and Multi-Channel Personalization combined. This can bring significant simplification and cost efficiencies for marketers in the current environment,” added Subra.
