Metoree’s Accelerated Expansion into the US Market

Leave a comment

Surpasses 5000 Listed Categories as the One-stop Comparison Platform for Industrial Product Manufacturers and Suppliers since 2022 Launch

MIYOSHI, Japan, Aug. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Metoree, founded in 2017 and operated by ZAZA, Inc., is a one-stop comparison website for manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors. The platform currently features information on various industrial products such as Laser Marker, 3D Printer, and Laser Diode. It encompasses over 5000 product categories, enabling users to compare manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, and facilitates the digitization of product selection for users.

Since its launch in 2022, Metoree has been accelerating its expansion into the American market, surpassing 5000 listed categories of industrial products. This milestone marks a significant step forward for the platform’s growth.

The Value that Metoree Offers to Engineers and Researchers in the Manufacturing Industry.

Metoree revolutionizes the process of product selection and transactions in the manufacturing industry. Previously, researchers and engineers had to inquire, request quotes, and place orders with individual companies when purchasing industrial products. Now, with Metoree, they can seamlessly perform all these actions on a single platform, as it digitizes every aspect of transactions and actively shapes the future of the industry.

Benefits of Utilizing Metoree

Metoree offers unparalleled advantages not found on other platforms, including the acquisition of high-quality information and the ability to compare products based on well-organized data:

  • Access to High-Quality Information about Suppliers and Manufacturers

    Previously, researchers and engineers had to gather scattered information from various websites. However, by utilizing Metoree, they can easily obtain the desired information about manufacturers and suppliers, saving valuable time on information gathering and enabling more focus on product comparison and essential processes.

  • Simplified Comparison of Industrial Products 

    Until now, providing information about products from different manufacturers and suppliers has been challenging due to varying formats, making it difficult to compare. However, Metoree addresses this issue by internally collecting and processing information from each company and presenting it in a user-friendly format for easy comparison. This streamlined approach enables engineers and researchers to make more informed choices when selecting industrial products.

Future Outlook for Metoree

Metoree is currently operating in countries such as Japan, Spain, Germany, and France, and the company is now on a path of global expansion. Upholding the mission of “Making the World a Better Place,” the platform aims to create an environment where engineers and researchers worldwide can easily find manufacturers and suppliers. To achieve this, Metoree plans to continuously increase the number of listed companies and product categories.

Feedback from Metoree Users

Engineers and researchers who have already experienced Metoree have provided positive feedback, citing the following points:

  • Easy and efficient comparison of manufacturers and suppliers using Metoree.
  • Successful purchase of products that meet their specific requirements.
  • Quick identification of ideal products with the help of Metoree.

About Metoree

Metoree, established in 2017 and operated by ZAZA, Inc., is a one-stop comparison platform for manufacturers and suppliers, offering an extensive range of industrial product information, and digitizing product selection for users worldwide.

CIB FinTech and Huawei Jointly Win The Asian Banker’s Award for Best Data Infrastructure Implementation in China.

The financial industry is currently witnessing tremendous inflation regarding the sheer amount of data it produces, and its value is rising with it. Financial institutions now need to obtain and use data in real time, posing higher requirements on data application, governance, and security.

Based on Huawei Financial Data Intelligence Solution that includes software and hardware products like Kunpeng, Kylin, Huawei Cloud, and data lakehouse, CIB FinTech has built an enterprise-level and all-scenario integrated analysis platform. As a self-service, real-time, and intelligent data service technical foundation, the platform consists of data, scheduling, management, and service sub-platforms. It replaces the original data warehouse system and functions as the new core of the group’s data services, improving data services from four aspects.

  1. Strengthens basic data capabilities
    Based on the large-scale distributed computing architecture, the new analysis platform integrates the batch data warehouse, real-time data warehouse, and IoT data warehouse to achieve high scalability and availability. It increases the number of nodes by 12 times and enlarges the high availability space by 20 times.
  2. Better enables data applications
    By building a low-code development platform, the group has created a full-process visualized data relationship graph. This significantly shortens the learning curve and simplifies application construction, speeding up R&D.
  3. Refines data governance and control
    A precise data map is drawn to accurately trace data sources and evaluate data value. Through multidimensional data management, the group can create forward-thinking data management solutions.
  4. Widens data capability sharing
    The group can give tenants access to data storage and computing capabilities, achieving an elastic supply, which allows its business departments to have an optimal experience in the obtaining and usage of data.

The new platform has laid a solid technical basis for the Industrial Bank to better deal with various businesses.

  • Risk control: The platform improves the key report data supply efficiency by 51%, so tens of billions of transactions can be analyzed in seconds. This helps the head office precisely analyze risks and prevent fraud.
  • Marketing: The bank boasts an optimized precise retailing model to cover tens of millions of customers. By building a closed-loop digital marketing process, its marketing campaigns have billions of person-times of interactions each year.
  • Technology: The reuse rate of public interfaces is improved by 10 times, significantly slashing R&D costs. Currently, more than 300 systems have accessed data services.

CIB FinTech and Huawei jointly reconstructed the enterprise-level data platform. Relying on a digital infrastructure that features self-service control, convergent capabilities, and intelligent O&M, the platform increases data asset value, optimizes data service experience, and transforms operational and profit models of banks, thereby enhancing both the customer experience and operational efficiency.

Huawei dives into the data domain and remains committed to exploring new scenarios, while at the same time collaborating with customers and partners to help financial institutions upgrade data and intelligence capabilities. Leveraging its fully-converged cloud-data-AI-computing Financial Data Intelligence Solution, Huawei accelerates the unleashing of data value and helps financial institutions innovate businesses.

The project was launched for construction in 2021, covering an area of about 2.3 acres, with a total construction area of about 43,000 m2, which can accommodate more than 800 R&D personnel. The project will build an R&D and office complex, focusing on high-end storage product innovation, storage industry chain delivery, offshore cross-border business, and corporate brand culture display. It is expected to be completed before the end of 2024, and will play a crucial role on carrying Longsys’s long-term development strategy.

According to the plan, Longsys’s Shanghai HQ will build a number of R&D areas and labs, introduce cutting-edge technical supporting facilities, and focus on the R&D of enterprise, industry and automotive storage products and the design of memory chips, which are widely used in various fields, such as data centers, smart cars, smart grids, security monitoring, and industrial Internet of Things.

Mr. Cai Huabo, Chairman and General Manager of Longsys, said that the construction of the Shanghai HQ Project has made a good start. As the first stop for Longsys’s expansion from the base in China to the global industrial field, with the favorable policy of talent introduction in the Lin-gang Special Area and the strong support for financial and trade innovation reform and industrial ecological construction from the government of the Lin-gang Special Area, the Shanghai HQ will become a paramount R&D center for Longsys’s innovation and development.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Fluxx, the world’s number one cloud-based grants management software solution, is excited to announce the general availability of Grantelligence, a new business intelligence and analytics platform specifically designed for grantmaking. Holistic and self-serviceable, Grantelligence delivers insights to all stakeholders, enabling them to collaborate to grant faster, with more accuracy, using powerful storytelling.

“We are thrilled to announce Grantelligence to the philanthropic and publicly funded grantmaking communities,” said Kristy Gannon, CEO of Fluxx. “We set out to provide a solution that enables our users to take their data and build stunning visualizations of grant programs, allowing them to easily measure impact, generate accurate, compelling board presentations, and build dashboards that are trusted by all levels in the organization. Grantelligence represents a new way of leveraging data, one that hasn’t been seen in our world before.”

“We developed Grantelligence because grantmakers today generally do not have the proper tools and resources to present their data effectively,” said Fintan Kelly, VP of Product at Fluxx. “Philanthropists and government organizations alike often struggle. It regularly falls to a single person in the organization to act as a gatekeeper – managing time-consuming requests across multiple audiences. Usually, manual efforts are required to consolidate, cleanse, and update various data sources, forcing the organization to rely upon static spreadsheets or cumbersome external tools to deliver insights about the organization, programs, processes, and outcomes.

“And it’s not just this data preparation that is painful,” Kelly said. “Grantmakers today struggle to convey impact effectively. They utilize these static tables – fine for general reporting but not well suited to present data to their boards, governing bodies, and larger communities. The net result – stakeholders often don’t get the facts they need in an easy-to-consume, engaging way. Decisions can be impacted as meaningful insights get missed. And the heroes can go unsung.”

“We chose the name Grantelligence because our tool is specifically designed for grantmaking,” added Gannon. “We employed best-of-breed technology to create a product that works for our customers. This new offering enables grantmakers to make intelligent decisions so they can take action, increase impact, and tell their stories.”

Grantelligence is available worldwide for purchase as a complement to Grantmaker, Fluxx’s industry-leading grants management solution. More information about Grantellience is available at https://www.fluxx.io/grantelligence-grants-management.
