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.

ViewSonic Celebrates 35th Anniversary with Successful Transformations and “Ecosystem as a Service” Strategy

Leave a comment

BREA, Calif., Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and EdTech solutions, celebrates its 35th anniversary and announces its latest strategy – “Ecosystem as a Service” (EaaS). Over the years, the company has successfully transformed from a hardware company to a solutions provider. With its experience and expertise, it further commits itself to innovating and collaborating with its partners to strengthen the entire ecosystem, promoting the industry to greater transformations.

With over 35 years of expertise in visual display, ViewSonic has transformed into a solution company.
With over 35 years of expertise in visual display, ViewSonic has transformed into a solution company.

“Founded in 1987, our business initially produced monitors. We expanded to other product lines and achieved tremendous success in corporate, consumer, and education segments,” said James Chu, CEO of ViewSonic. “To respond to the fast-changing environment, we started to transform our company and develop solutions by integrating hardware, software, and services. With the vision to inspire the world to see the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary, we will continue to partner with the industry more closely to accelerate innovation and solve our customers’ problems.”

Facilitate Industrial Transformations with EaaS

The concept of Ecosystem as a Service (EaaS) is to include the stakeholders within the industry in the process of solution development and to create new services together. Starting with the education sector, ViewSonic has achieved great results with the EaaS strategy and will plan to implement the strategy in other segments to expand it globally. 

In its pioneer project, ViewSonic partnered with governments, schools, and educational institutes to launch a series of training and certification programs to improve teachers’ digital teaching ability. Beyond that, ViewSonic worked with publishers and hosted competitions to encourage teachers to create innovative learning materials for their lessons. Through engaging on online social media platforms, ViewSonic built a community of educators, allowing them to share their experiences and exchange ideas about teaching digitally. All stakeholders in the industry could come together and work with ViewSonic to establish issues around digital teaching. All these aspects worked to form a well-rounded ecosystem within the education industry.

Lead the World of EdTech from 2D to 3D

As a leading EdTech brand, ViewSonic provides a total solution that integrates ViewBoard interactive displays, myViewBoard software, and an EdTech ecosystem. During the pandemic, ViewSonic offered myViewBoard for free to K-12, colleges, and universities, supporting online teaching and learning during school closures. To date, myViewBoard has exceeded 6 million users around the world.

However, the current mode of online learning is still limited by the lack of interaction, making it difficult for educators to evaluate student engagement during classes. To resolve these issues, ViewSonic elevated the digital learning experience from a 2D education environment to an immersive 3D environment. Through the introduction of UNIVERSE by ViewSonic, a metaverse for education, educators and students can teach and learn as if they were in a real classroom. Combined with intuitive controls and diverse tools, teachers can engage students in discussions and group collaboration, gaining feedback in real-time. Students are able to express themselves and interact with peers through personalized avatars. UNIVERSE brings a sense of belonging to both teachers and students no other online learning platforms can provide.

Innovative Solutions to Evolve Lives

The pandemic has changed the foundations of the society and people’s lifestyle. More than ever, people are adopting new technologies to re-adjust to their new lives, while businesses are seeking advanced and efficient solutions to sustain themselves. ViewSonic provides a full range of innovative products and services to help consumers and businesses improve their efficiency, flexibility, and performance.

By introducing a series of portable monitors, projectors, and pen displays, people can work, play, and learn anytime, anywhere. With advanced functions, such as videoconferencing, people can enjoy high-quality communication and collaborate remotely. For sustainability, ViewSonic has been using LED technology to develop more sustainable solutions. It expands its LED projector solutions from consumers to corporations, which addresses the critical need for equipment to be energy-saving and maintenance-free. The latest digital signature solution makes workflow more efficient and fulfills security requirements for multi-identification verification across telecom, banking, hospital, and hotel industries.

With a customer-centric mindset, ViewSonic will continue to upgrade its product line, invest in the latest technologies, and create a tight-knit community between educators, creators, and gamers across different vertical markets to inspire the world with visual excellence.

About ViewSonic

Founded in California, ViewSonic is a leading global provider of visual solutions and conducts business in over 100 countries worldwide. As an innovator and visionary, ViewSonic is committed to providing comprehensive hardware and software solutions that include monitors, projectors, pen displays, commercial displays, All-in-One LED displays, ViewBoard interactive displays, and myViewBoard software ecosystem.

Leave a comment

oVice, a Japan-based virtual office platform, announces a 45 billion yen (around $32.5 million) Series B funding round led by multiple investors. The company plans on creating solutions that streamline remote and hybrid work and facilitate employee onboarding, team management, and online collaboration.

NANAO, Japan, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — oVice was launched in 2020 as a way to give teams, disconnected during the pandemic, a common meeting point. It offers fully customizable virtual spaces for offices, online classrooms, and event venues.

As of 2022, oVice has long-term contracts with over 2,200 organizations and boasts over $6 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). More than 60,000 daily active users log into the platform to work in over 30,000 spaces created since its launch.

oVice plans to solidify its standing as a leading online collaboration platform in Japan and grow its user base overseas. Furthermore, the company is focusing on creating new solutions for hybrid work — an approach that combines in-office work and telecommuting.

To that end, oVice secured a $32 million Series B funding round led by a group of Japanese and overseas investors. The investment puts the company’s total raised capital at $45 million.

The oVice team is allocating these resources in four key directions:

  • Building solutions tailored to hybrid workplaces that help align office and remote teams
  • Overseas expansion in North America, Europe, and other regions.
  • Attracting top talent to the project
  • Marketing and PR activities

According to Sae Hyung Jung, the CEO of oVice: “The end goal is to create a platform that would eliminate friction in remote and hybrid workflows: employee onboarding, instant communication, and team building. oVice is hoping to achieve this by bringing the social benefits of the physical office — visibility, accessibility, and immediacy — to online interactions“.

During the last two years, the platform’s consistent growth proved that organizations have a long-term interest in virtual office technology. In the future, the oVice team aims to make virtual offices an integral part of remote and hybrid collaboration tech stacks.

About oVice

oVice is a global virtual office space provider designed to facilitate collaboration and talent management in hybrid and remote workplaces. The platform pioneered the concept of the virtual office — an online space that resembles a physical office by design and features – in Japan and became one of the leading SaaS companies in the country.

Like a physical office, oVice enables instant connections and gives a clear view of who is available at the moment. First-time users can experience the features of the platform and directly connect with the product team in a public tour space.

Equipped with Huawei’s Tech, Bank of Communications Wins The Asian Banker’s Award of Best Big Data Implementation in China

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Asian Banker, an authoritative global platform for insights about the finance industry, has unveiled the winner list for its 2022 Financial Technology Awards at Finance China 2022. Bank of Communications (BOC) won the Best Big Data Implementation award for its Lakehouse DaaS built using Huawei Cloud FusionInsight intelligent data lake.


BOC’s business has grown rapidly over the past few years. The bank has expanded the number of business lines and has rendered its business processes more diversified, convenient, and intelligent. As a result, it’s generating an unprecedented amount of data and using it for complex applications. To cope with all this data, BOC has built an intelligent data lake — Lakehouse DaaS — upon Huawei Cloud FusionInsight MRS cloud-native data lake and Huawei Cloud GaussDB(DWS) data warehouse.

Powered by the GaussDB(DWS) distributed data warehouse, BOC has enhanced its access to data, reducing the cost of using data while improving efficiency and quality. BOC has also built a high-quality and centralized dashboard for comprehensive data analysis, which supports the bank’s operational decision-making and helps maximize the value of data.

The FusionInsight MRS real-time data lake has helped BOC develop new technical capabilities, such as real-time collection and computing, and batch-stream convergence. The bank has also deployed real-time collection, computing, analysis, and consumption data flows, supporting various real-time and quasi-real-time business scenarios.

Since launching the intelligent data lake, BOC has made big leaps in several fields.

  • Marketing: Create user personas based on user transactions and interaction behaviors, improving the customer conversion rate by 164%.
  • Risk control: Analyze user behavior features and identify fraud behaviors in real time, reducing the number of risky cases by 52%.
  • Operations: Search and analyze banking data in real time and quickly make informed decisions.
  • Customer relationship management: Establish a customer churn warning model to track customers who are about to churn and retain them.

BOC has worked with Huawei to reconstruct its big data platform. The bank aims to speed up services related to big data and provide timely input for marketing, risk control, supervision, and operations. It also looks to centralize monitoring, enable process-based management, and visualize its data assets for data governance.

BEIJING, Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The “Finance China 2022” event organized by the prestigious international finance magazine The Asian Banker successfully commenced in Beijing on the 25th of August. Huawei and the Bank of China jointly won the Best Bank Infrastructure Technology Implementation in China in the category of Financial Technology Awards.

Huawei has shaped many innovative technological solutions by using its innovative ICT technologies and capacities and orchestrated cross-domain collaboration among technologies, helping financial institutions enhance their operational resilience and provide optimal user experience.

  • NoF+ is an Ethernet-enabled lossless storage network solution that applies NVMe, a high-speed read/write protocol dedicated to flash memory and IP networks. Customers can use this technology to build intelligent and lossless networks that sense network faults and facilitate cross-domain coordination. This solution will significantly increase the IOPS throughput performance compared to Fibre Channel (FC) networks.
  • Replacing FC with NoF+ significantly reduces data read and write latency within data centers. In addition, data can be transmitted without loss across data centers and over long distances thanks to the iLossless algorithm.
  • This solution can help networks proactively sense link status and fast switch storage algorithms in order to reduce the impact of network jitter on financial transactions, and reduce link switching time from minutes to seconds in case of failed transmissions.

Dr. Margaret Hu, President of Marketing and Solution Sales, Huawei Global Digital Finance said, “We thank The Asian Banker for honoring us this significant award. Huawei will continue working with financial institutions and partners to conduct joint innovation and open collaboration. We will build innovative digital infrastructure that helps financial services grow and innovate. Our joint efforts will accelerate the financial industry’s digital transformation.”
