Flowhaven Opens London Office, Announces 2020 Momentum

Leave a comment

World’s fastest-growing brand licensing solution celebrates London office, new clients

LONDON, Aug. 3, 2020 — Leading licensing relationship management technology platform, Flowhaven, has announced a new office in London and the expansion of its U.K. client roster. The new office brings Flowhaven closer to its clients in the region and is the latest achievement in a year of rapid company growth.

Built on Salesforce, the world’s CRM, Flowhaven provides a centralized, end-to-end solution that helps companies manage and scale their brand licensing programs.

In January, Flowhaven expanded beyond its Helsinki headquarters with an office in Los Angeles. The move cemented the company’s status as a key player in the licensing industry’s digital evolution. The new London office will seat Jeremy Robinson, head of sales, EMEA, and his powerhouse team.

"The UK is Europe’s largest licensing market. The country is home to the international offices of most US brands and has a vast number of domestic brands that continue to grow and perform extremely well," says Kalle Torma, CEO and founder.

"The continued growth we are seeing in our client base made the decision to open a standalone office in the UK an easy choice," says Jeremy Robinson. "From there I am perfectly placed to be able to work alongside the UK team and customers, as well as liaise with and travel to colleagues and prospects in other locations. The rapid pace of development we are seeing in our customer base and system capabilities are a fantastic combination and I am very excited by the discussions we are having, and the continued future development for Flowhaven"

Recent customer signing Games Workshop Group PLC joins a growing number of clients in the U.K. including Full Colour Black, whose portfolio includes Banksy street art; Lisle Licensing, who represents Tetris, Masha and the Bear, 44 Cats; Licensing Link Europe whose clients include Build-A-Bear Workshop, Van Gogh Museum as well as Pantone and; more.

At the end of last year, Flowhaven closed a $5.2 million (€4.75 million) seed round of financing. Global Founders Capital led the investment round with participation from existing investors including Icebreaker.vc. Following the round, Flowhaven entered a portfolio of investments that includes Facebook, Slack, Trivago, Canva, Eventbrite, and more. The company has also grown to more than 30 team members across its permanent and satellite locations, tripling in size year over year.

The Philippines Armed Forces & Police Mutual Benefit Association Creates New Digital Loan Product in Under a Week with OutSystems

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 3, 2020 — OutSystems today announced that Philippines financial solutions provider, Armed Forces & Police Mutual Benefit Association Inc. (AFPMBAI) is using the OutSystems low-code application development platform to launch a new loan product to continue serving its members amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

AFPMBAI provides insurance solutions and personal loans to uniformed personnel and their families. Traditionally, the majority of work was done face-to-face, with advisors conducting assessments and approving loans and policies across its 18 locations. However, due to the escalating COVID-19 situation, the Philippines entered lockdown and the company was forced to digitalize its physical sales process in a matter of days. The lockdown affected both daily operations and the income stream at AFPMBAI, as the government placed restrictions on financial services companies’ ability to collect premiums and loan repayments. This forced AFPMBAI to find a new income stream to protect the long-term future of the business and continue to support the Philippines’ uniformed services during this period.

"We had to act quickly to maintain operations. Many people depend on us for loans and insurance, and we had to ensure they had access to finances, more so during this crucial period," says Antonio Hornilla, Chief Information Officer, AFPMBAI. "The new digital loan product is highly competitive and unique in the marketplace – higher loanable amounts, lower interest rates and more flexible terms. The product represented a lot of work. What we achieved with OutSystems was impressive, as it’s quick to code and very fast to test—we couldn’t have achieved that with our legacy platform."

By employing the OutSystems application development platform, the team was able to turn the new product idea into a fully functioning digital product in under a week, collaborating over video calls for real-time tweaks and testing simultaneously as they worked. The initial system was built in just four days, with two days of subsequent testing to get it ready for launch. The stakeholders from various departments could then access the platform and provide feedback on the new application. The launch of the new digital loan product was a resounding success. AFPMBAI had initially set aside around USD5 million, expecting to offer the loan for a month. However, with the combination of favourable terms and a user-friendly application interface, the entire portfolio sold out in just two weeks. The flexibility and speed of OutSystems development was tested as the team was tasked to rapidly build a temporary integration with the old system, and get the missing data copied across.

"Agility plays a critical role when responding to community needs during this unprecedented time," said Mark Weaser, APAC Vice President of OutSystems. "This project with AFPMBAI not only offers the ability to deliver applications faster and more efficiently than ever before, but it goes to show how OutSystems empowers them to be responsive and deliver custom solutions to their customers at scale."

The team at AFPMBAI now have the ideal foundation to continue offering vital financial support to uniformed service members throughout the Philippines, especially during this challenging period and sound foundation upon which to deliver and adapt new digital products to market faster post-pandemic.

About OutSystems

Thousands of customers worldwide trust OutSystems, the number one low-code platform for rapid application development. Engineers with an obsessive attention to detail crafted every aspect of the OutSystems platform to help organisations build enterprise-grade apps and transform their business faster. OutSystems is the only solution that combines the power of low-code development with advanced mobile capabilities, enabling visual development of entire applications that easily integrate with existing systems.

PaperCut adds Cloud Print to its BYOD print solution, Mobility Print

Leave a comment

Simplifying print on Chromebooks and other BYOD devices

PORTLAND, Ore., July 31, 2020 — PaperCut has announced the addition of Cloud Print to its innovative Mobility Print solution. It is available for free in PaperCut Mobility Print™. PaperCut Mobility Print is already simplifying the printing process for bring your own devices (BYOD) and other end-user managed devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, or Chromebooks.

With this breakthrough, Chromebook users can now print remotely and outside the network by sending print jobs over the internet. Mac and Windows support is coming soon.

PaperCut Mobility Print is the perfect replacement for Google Cloud Print
PaperCut Mobility Print is the perfect replacement for Google Cloud Print

The announcement is a major step forward for schools and businesses looking for a Google Cloud Print replacement, which Google has previously stated will stop working after December 31, 2020.

PaperCut Mobility Print’s Cloud Print functionality will help Google Cloud Print customers’ transition in an easy and timely way to a powerful and robust alternative.

Dave Farrell, Americas Regional Director, PaperCut, stated: "Not only is PaperCut’s Cloud Print free, but it provides businesses with a better way to print with flexibility and efficiency in an environment where hybrid home/office has become the new reality. Users can press print at home and pick the document up later at work or school, bringing a renewed simplicity to network printing. For any business anticipating the need to replace Google Cloud Print with a like-for-like printing solution, this is perfect timing." 

The addition of Cloud Print to Mobility Print has been achieved with security and convenience at the fore. With the new Cloud Print feature, printing is:

  • Secure: Print jobs and metadata are sent via an encrypted peer-to-peer connection, without requiring inbound internet access to your server.
  • Lightning-fast: Print jobs stay local when possible, and only sent via the internet when users are not connected to the local network.
  • Native: Just like local printing, hit CTRL+P or ‘Print’ right in the device’s interface to enable simple, functional printing from any application.

There are plenty of use cases where Mobility Print’s Cloud Print feature will help busy IT teams – not just when replacing Google Cloud Print. One of the major problems this release solves is enabling printing in untrusted guest networks. 

Available as a free standalone solution or as part of PaperCut MF’s complete print management solution, Mobility Print is already helping millions of people to print. 

"Mobility Print is used by over 10 million people from SMEs, to large enterprises, and schools big and small," Farrell added. "PaperCut will continue to introduce solutions that help customers reduce costs, enable a safer touch-free workspace, and realize a hassle-free print experience. Those adopting the new Cloud Print feature in Mobility Print can do so with the knowledge and comfort it has been tested by a brand you can trust."

Mobility Print is a fast, secure, scalable product and free alternative to Google Cloud Print that enables printing from any device, and now – with the addition of Cloud Print – anywhere.

About PaperCut Software

Around the world, people continue to wrestle with printing costs and complexity – and PaperCut is solving both one workplace at a time. Since 1998, PaperCut has helped over 100 million users in 192 countries save over a billion pages of paper. Today, businesses of all shapes and sizes enjoy unbeatable control, security, and savings in their printing.

BEIJING and SAN JOSE, California, July 31, 2020 — Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of advanced power-efficient visual processing solutions, and Black Shark, a cutting-edge gaming technology company, today announced that the new Tencent Black Shark 3S gaming smartphones integrate the Pixelworks fifth generation visual processor and software.

The Tencent Black Shark 3S supports up to 120 Hz refresh rate on their latest AMOLED display. Utilizing the Company’s latest generation Pixelworks visual processor and software, the 6.67-inch, AMOLED screen delivers a cinematic experience with true-to-life visuals to support the most advanced mobile games for video and gaming enthusiasts at all levels.

The Tencent Black Shark 3S is the latest model among its top-performance flagship gaming smartphones, and includes a full suite of the Pixelworks unique display processing features, including:

  • MotionEngine technology – Patented motion estimation, motion compensation (MEMC) is content-optimized for high refresh rate displays up to 120 Hz to eliminate unintended judder and blur to preserve intended motion appearance.
  • Dual-Channel MIPI for Tencent Video – Maximizes quality of short- and long-form games and videos with text overlay and GUI protection for a more interactive and engaging experience.

  • Auto Adaptive Display – Preserve visual clarity by dynamically adjusting brightness and tone, and automatically enhance contrast based on changes in ambient light. Even in a very dark room, Active DC Dimming ensures eye comfort by reducing blue light and mitigating OLED screen flicker at the lowest screen brightness.
