ASAP Systems Makes Headway in the Environmental Solutions Industry by Providing MBC with Its Scalable Online Inventory and Asset Tracking System, BarCloud
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2014
MBC, located in South Island, New Zealand, is a company that has specialized in environmental solutions involving project management, animal control, vegetation services, and erosion control since 2007. The company’s recent client growth and expansion into new areas of business prompted them to purchase a substantial amount of new equipment (assets) such as computers, laptops, generators, satellite phones, GPS devices, radios, and more. In order to manage the increase in assets, MBC wanted a cloud-based asset and inventory system that could monitor the location and status of assets anytime, anywhere.
Using Excel to track hundreds of moving assets (in-office and off-site) was ineffective for MBC because it failed to provide real-time inventory operations data. The unsophisticated system was not capable of tracking equipment that frequently changed users and locations. Adding to the challenge, employees worked simultaneously in a number of unique job sites, from inner city Auckland to remote mine sites and forests. Company managers were having trouble keeping their employees accountable for the equipment they used; they wanted to avoid the occurrence of employees losing equipment in “the bush.” In addition, management sought to track equipment maintenance activities to extend the useful life of their assets. Without this high level of asset control, the company failed to oversee which resources were being used, where they were being used, and what was still available.
After researching online, MBC chose ASAP Systems’ BarCloud, a SaaS application in the cloud that allowed them to visualize a more accurate picture of their business, especially when it came to their inventory of assets. After initial training, the team could easily input asset data into the online system database and begin checking out or loaning out equipment to employees spread throughout New Zealand. Management received the level of oversight they desired through the ability to view the real-time location, status, and user of equipment online. In addition, BarCloud gave them the ability to log scheduled and performed equipment maintenance tasks as well as rename the data fields and tabs in the system. At the end of the day, the company could focus more on environmental solution strategies by spending less time managing spreadsheets. ASAP Systems was able to save the company time and money through better visibility and control of their assets.
“ASAP Systems’ BarCloud stood out because it would give us the ability to grow into the online system as our company grew,” said Adam Walker, Technical Manager at MBC.

Easy2 Launches Tablet Version of its Product Demos – Providing Manufacturers and Retailers a Complete Multichannel Merchandising Platform
Easy2 Launches Tablet Version of its Product Demos – Providing Manufacturers and Retailers a Complete Multichannel Merchandising Platform
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) March 14, 2012
Easy2® Technologies, the leading provider of multichannel merchandising content and technology, announces the launch of the first tablet-optimized product demos available to manufacturers and retailers. Product demos help educate online and mobile shoppers by allowing them to interact with engaging product content such as image galleries, 360-degree image rotations, and video; all of which reduces hesitation and gives shoppers the confidence to buy.
“In the last 8 months, Easy2 has been first-to-market with smartphone-optimized product demos and product selectors, as well as a tablet version of our product selectors, and now, tablet-optimized product demos,” said George Koenig, Easy2 Vice President of Sales and Business Development. “We help manufacturers and retailers provide a consistent experience across all shopping devices because each of them is used differently, in different places and under different circumstances. We’ve already made the mobile shopping experience better, and now with tablet versions of our merchandising tools, we’ve made shopping while sitting on the couch better, too. We’re helping manufacturers and retailers increase their conversions and sales, regardless of what device shoppers use.”
Tablet usage has been growing rapidly, with 12% of the US Internet population owning or using a tablet (28 million shoppers and growing), a number that is expected to double to 23% in 2012. In addition, tablet users prefer to shop on their tablets instead of on a laptop or desktop computer.*
“The tablet is a completely different user experience than using a smartphone or a desktop computer to shop,” said Jerry Spelic, Easy2 Director of Marketing. “Tablet product demos are optimized for the tablet experience, which is very tactile because of its touchscreen interface. Shoppers are able to touch the screen, pinch and stretch images, and swipe content with their fingers. It’s extremely interactive.”
“Our SaaS technology platform generates mobile versions of all of our products,” said Koenig, “which means we save our clients valuable time. A product demo created using Easy2 tools is automatically available as a web demo, smartphone demo and a tablet demo. That is a true multichannel merchandising strategy to connect with shoppers whenever, and wherever, they shop.”
