NovelVox Joins the Symitar Vendor Integration Program

NovelVox, a global Contact Center Software Provider, today announced that it has joined the Symitar® Vendor Integration Program (VIP). Participation in the program will provide NovelVox with access to Symitar's technical resources to enable NovelVox's Finesse Unified Agent Desktops to integrate with Symitar's products including Episys® and Synapsys Member Relationship Management™. The Vendor Integration Program is designed to help ensure that Symitar's customers can easily deploy third-party products.

NovelVox's Cisco Finesse Unified Agent Desktops integrates with Episys, Synapsys Member Relationship Management via SymXchange™, a services-based programming interface that enables third-party vendors and credit unions to access the platform's core data and business rules. The integrity of data is maintained throughout any data exchange, because access to business rules and data is managed through a service layer which governs these interactions.

Within the credit union industry, the member experience is now the battleground to attract and retain ever more demanding members. It is now widely accepted that the member experience is the prime differentiator from one supplier to the next. NovelVox can now deliver integration to products provided by Symitar into a credit union's existing Cisco Contact Center, providing contact center agents with 'a unified single pane glass' view of members that will create a better member experience.

Amit Gandhi, CEO of NovelVox says, "We are extremely happy and excited to integrate Symitar's Episys core and Synapsys member relationship management solution into the Cisco Contact Center Platform. This combined with our existing range of products will provide our customers with even more choices to execute their member experience strategies." Norman Liu, NovelVox's Marketing Director, also agrees with Amit Gandhi and adds, "This VIP membership is very much aligned with NovelVox's ethos to provide our customers with powerful, flexible and feature rich Unified Agent Desktops that our customers have come to expect from us."

Plant-Based Proteins Are Harvesting Year-Over-Year Growth in Foodservice Market and Broader Appeal

Plant-based proteins aren't just for vegans and vegetarians anymore as U.S. consumers seek more protein in their diets and plant-based foods become more available and tastier. Higher demand for plant-based proteins is evidenced by the 19 percent growth in cases shipped of these proteins from broadline foodservice distributors to independent (one to two units) and micro-chain (three to 19 units) restaurant operators in the year ending March 2018 compared to same period year ago(1), according to The NPD Group, a leading global information company. In-home consumption trends are also showing an increase in consumer demand with a 24 percent increase since 2015.(2)

With 60 percent of U.S. consumers telling NPD they want to get more protein in their diets(3), consumers are mixing both meat and plant-based proteins into their diets. In a recent NPD survey(4), 14 percent of U.S. consumers, which translates to over 43 million consumers, regularly use plant-based alternatives such as almond milk, tofu, and veggie burgers, and 86 percent of these consumers do not consider themselves vegan or vegetarian. The heaviest users of plant-based foods are those who are more likely to be on a diet or to have a medical condition, and consumers who tend to think of food as fuel, are more convenience-oriented than others, and less confident in their cooking skills. One of the fastest growing consumer segments who eat plant-based foods are those who are all about the taste of foods.

Beef alternatives make up 44 percent of the plant-based categories being shipped to independent and micro-chain restaurant operators and are the primary contributor to the total category's growth. Burgers are the largest beef alternative category but ball products, like meatless meatballs, used as ingredients have outpaced burgers and all other plant-based protein formats in terms of growth. The Census Divisions that have realized the strongest growth in case shipments of plant-based proteins to foodservice operators are the Mountain/Pacific Census Division (Arizona, California, etc.) and the South Atlantic (Florida, North and South Carolina, etc.).(5)

"It's clear by the growth of plant-based proteins that this category has mainstreamed beyond those consumers who choose a meatless diet," says David Portalatin, industry advisor for NPD's Food Sector. "Food manufacturers and operators have improved the quality and taste of plant-based foods over the past several years and these foods are appealing to a variety of consumer segments for a variety of reasons."

Bluebee Pal Toy Creators Spark a Technical Evolution in Toy-Based Learning

Kayle Concepts announces their new Bluebee Pals Learning App and the latest technical release of their Bluebee Pals, interactive Bluetooth® enabled plush companions.

Bluebee Pal plushie enhancements include sophisticated robotic head and mouth movements, 4.0 Bluetooth, longer battery life, weight beans, and easy one-step set up.

"We actively involved teachers, parents and therapists from across the country to analyze ways we could make our Bluebee Pals even better learning tools for children," said Laura Jiencke, Founder and CEO of Kayle Concepts.

"We studied how they were being used in classrooms, as assistive technology tools, and in therapies. We discovered it's not too much screen time that's an issue, but the quality of the digital content. Using what we learned, we developed a learning app and upgraded Bluebee Pal technology to enhance classroom learning environments and re-enforce academic learning at home."

"Our teachers and therapists have reported students are exhibiting increased attention to tasks and increased engagement when Bluebee Pals are incorporated into their activities," said Punam Desormes, M.A., CC-SLP: Speech-Language Therapist, Princeton House Charter School

Bluebee Pals and the Bluebee Pals Learning App will be in stock and ready for shipment by March 12, 2018. They can be purchased online on Amazon, Walmart, and Target websites and Schoolspecialty.com and Bluebeepals.com.
