Aladtec announces a new integration with emsCharts

Fire and EMS agencies who use Aladtec Scheduling and Workforce Management software and emsCharts management software can now save time and keystrokes with a new integration.

This integration enables emsCharts to receive schedule information from Aladtec frequently, ensuring that staffing data from yesterday, today, and tomorrow is in sync with emsCharts' crew information.

Gloucester County (NJ) Emergency Medical Service has used Aladtec for its scheduling since 2007 and uses emsCharts for its pre-hospital information management.

Gloucester EMS is one of the first Aladtec customers to implement the integration. The first county-based EMS in New Jersey, Gloucester EMS' 200-plus members made 26,197 responses from its 15 stations last year.

"The integration is not so much a time saver as it is a tool to prevent errors," wrote Andy Lovell, Gloucester EMS' Chief, and EMS Coordinator for County of Gloucester, Clayton NJ.

"As a crew member, if I don't remember to update my unit, station, and partner upon login and subsequently then create a chart within emsCharts, it will be created with my unit/station/partner from my prior shift.

"The integration automatically updates this for me, based upon the current schedule. This potential error elimination saves time in that the crew member, supervisor, or administrator does not need to correct chart errors as they do not occur," said Lovell.

Implementation wasn't difficult, he said.

"The integration so far has been seamless. Once setup is completed, it doesn't require any action by the crew member. The only action going forward will be to map new staff members as they are added."

Aladtec provides online scheduling and workforce management software for mission-critical agencies such as EMS, fire service, law enforcement, and dispatch. The smart platform puts real-time staff scheduling, time and attendance tools, in the palm of your hand. It tracks licensing and certifications, offers customizable forms and reporting, and allows leaders and members to communicate instantly, saving time and money.

Founded in 2003, River Falls, Wis.-based Aladtec serves more than 2,300 customers across the US and Canada. Annual subscriptions include all setup, training and unlimited support. To learn more, visit http://www.aladtec.com.

Transact Continues to Expand Support for Student IDs on iPhone and Apple Watch

Transact today announced the next wave of higher education institutions to begin using Transact Mobile Credential for student IDs in Apple Wallet. Mobile Credentials offer students an easy, secure, and contactless way to navigate campus, allowing them to access facilities and residence halls, as well as make payments for dining, laundry, vending, retail, and more with just their mobile phones.

Leading the next class of Transact clients to adopt this exciting new service are Georgetown University, Arkansas State University, Chowan University, Drake University, Hamilton College, Louisburg College, Norfolk State University, Roanoke College, South Dakota State University, and University of North Alabama.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/manscaped-and-bespoke-post-partner-on.html

Transact was the first campus credential solution provider to announce NFC-enabled contactless student IDs for iPhone and Apple Watch at schools across the country. Joining Duke University, The University of Alabama, University of Oklahoma, Temple University, The Johns Hopkins University, Mercer University, and Marshall University as early adopters of Transact Mobile Credential, these additional schools will use both Transact and an array of third-party NFC-enabled devices to facilitate transactions and access privileges using the Mobile Credential across campus.

"Students arriving to university campuses today have grown up using cashless payments, keyless entry and all of the conveniences of mobile devices," says Bob Dorado, Marshall Mobile ID project lead at Marshall. "Having our virtual identification card secure in Apple Wallet, which allows students to use their phones and watches to open doors and buy meals, is a technology they expect and we are excited to be a national leader and early adopter of Transact Mobile Credential."

Adoption of the Transact Mobile Credential at the initial schools was swift and expansive. At Duke University, 79% of undergraduate students and 90% of freshmen who use iOS devices have provisioned.

Student reaction has been very positive as they experience first-hand the ease of issuing the Mobile Credential on their devices and the convenience of using it across campus. "The best benefit of a student ID on iPhone is having the peace of mind and the security that you have your student ID at all times. You don't even need to carry a physical card anymore," said Taylor, a student at the University of Oklahoma. Students from other institutions who saw the initial announcements have even reached out to Transact directly asking how they too can have access to the Mobile Credential.

"Mercer University is proud to be among the first schools in the nation to give our students the ability to conveniently and securely access their daily tasks with their student ID on iPhone through Transact Mobile Credential," said Ken Boyer, Associate Vice President at Mercer University. "The Transact Mobile Credential is just what our students need to easily move throughout campus without having to carry multiple credentials. We are proud to partner with Transact on this journey to a contactless campus."

"The Transact Mobile Credential is transforming how students engage all across campus, similar to how the iPhone transformed how we use our mobile phones," said David Marr, CEO of Transact. "The excitement from our clients and their students reflects our own and we're very pleased with the rapid adoption of the Transact Mobile Credential. Our partnerships continue to grow as we work with additional schools to provide this student-centric mobile ID solution."

MLeisure Proudly Announces the Launch of Let's asQ Game Cards

MLeisure LLC is proud to announce the market launch of its first game, Let's asQ. The card game is easy to play with a friend or a large group and is a great way to learn more about each other. The 52-card deck has incredibly thought-provoking questions and topics played with no rules – just pick a card, think and respond. Most important, listen closely when others are answering – that's the real key.

Let's asQ meets its creators' goal of bringing people together by simply providing friends and even complete randos with a helping hand to share more and learn more about others and even about ourselves.

The game was conceived and tested with glowing success while on family vacations and at music festivals. The MLeisure founding family learned that Let's asQ works in many settings - at the beach, the park, while camping, after dinner at home, at set-break during a concert, on a boat ride, in the car and more. It's even fun to grab a small handful of the cards for your pocket when headed out for an evening, just in case.

Let's asQ Principal, Jason Mandel said of the game, "As one of the creators, I find some of the most captivating moments come when I hear an answer that interprets the question in a new and unexpected way." Other great experiences jump out when the cards are fanned out for a stranger - randos are just friends you haven't met yet.

Attentive raises $40 million Series B investment led by Sequoia

Attentive, a personalized mobile messaging SaaS platform for brands, announced today that it has raised a $40 million Series B investment. The round was led by Sequoia with participation from existing investors Bain Capital Ventures, Eniac Ventures and NextView Ventures, and new investors IVP and High Alpha.

"CRM is changing. Businesses can't build a relationship with the modern consumer through email alone," said Brian Long, Co-Founder & CEO of Attentive. "Email performance, as measured by how many subscribers click-through on a message, is down 45% over the last five years. Rather than continuing to shout one-way messages at consumers, smart brands will stay relevant by embracing personalized, real-time, two-way communication channels."

Today's consumers spend more time than ever on their mobile devices—and the overwhelming majority of that time is spent within messaging apps. Attentive is leading the way in making mobile messaging a highly profitable revenue channel and the new center of customer relationship management for brands.

Attentive works with over 400 innovative retail brands such as Sephora, Urban Outfitters, Coach, CB2, and Jack in the Box—and has experienced 8x customer growth in one year. With Attentive, mobile messaging can quickly become a top three digital revenue channel, regularly outperforming email marketing in terms of click-through rates and revenue driven per subscriber. Read this for more information.

The company's name, "Attentive," is a testament to its mission—to build a communications channel that is thoughtful, authentic, and addresses the needs of both brands and consumers equally. Consumers opt-in to engage directly with their favorite businesses through personalized interactions at each step of the customer lifecycle.

"As people increasingly use messaging as a primary form of communication, businesses will too," said Pat Grady, partner at Sequoia. "With their mobile messaging platform, Attentive is leading a new category of direct-to-consumer marketing that we believe has huge market potential. We're thrilled to partner with the entire team as they grow and provide brands with modern, effective tools to better engage with customers."

Attentive was founded in 2016 by the team behind TapCommerce, the global leader in mobile app retargeting, which was acquired by Twitter in 2014. The company has experienced 250% employee growth in just one year—expanding its headquarters in New York City while establishing team members in Los Angeles, Boston, Denver, and Atlanta.

Hudson MX Announces Launch of BuyerAssist™ for Local Radio

Hudson MX is pleased to announce the launch of its local radio buying platform. The announcement comes on the heels of the recent launch of its local tv offering. Affording ease of use, simplicity, and control, Hudson MX enables local buyers to become more powerful with software and data. Hudson MX offers workflow software that allows targeted buys at scale with unprecedented precision. Entercom, a leading media and entertainment company and one of the two largest radio broadcasters in the U.S., joins as the first AgencyCloud™ partner, leading the way in innovation in the buying of radio.

BuyerAssist™ has already been road tested. To date, 19 agencies have been using Hudson MX to connect 700+ radio buyers with 2,500+ sellers in 210 markets, representing 100+ national advertisers. In a private beta, more than $50 million in radio buys have been processed.

Hudson MX replicates and improves current workflow, instead of disrupting or replacing them. It enables buying of whole markets in one place—all stations, all types of buys, and all inventory. Further, it collapses reporting times and enhances performance measurement so that local TV and radio buying more closely tracks the standards of programmatic digital.

Entercom is the first broadcast partner to leverage Hudson MX's AgencyCloud™ to help bolster profitability while enhancing results for marketers and brands. Hudson MX and Entercom are working together across Entercom's technology stack to enable system-to-system communication, workflow automation, and yield optimization. Read this here.

"Radio was the first medium to offer content in real time and it remains an absolutely vital part of the media landscape," said JT Batson, CEO of Hudson MX. "Ninety three percent of Americans listen to radio weekly and station loyalty remains strong. And while its place in our culture is unquestioned, radio's ability to compete for advertising dollars has been hindered by a lack of modern software. By making the move beyond legacy systems, Entercom is helping our country's biggest brands capitalize on the full potential of radio in real time."

"Entercom has been focused on supply-side innovation and we are pleased to partner with Hudson MX in transforming the buy side of radio," said Weezie Kramer, Chief Operating Officer of Entercom. "We're excited to be their first radio partner and offer agency partners greater speed, accuracy and transparency. It makes radio easier and faster to buy—putting us at the forefront with other forms of media."

Hudson MX's proprietary BuyerAssist™ complements the skillset, market expertise, and institutional knowledge of local media buyers, empowering them to deliver superior client results in record time. Already, BuyerAssist™ is being used by the world's largest agencies to streamline their local media buying processes and enhance results for brands.

With Entercom's integration, BuyerAssist™ allows agencies to query proposals with detailed and specific KPIs and search Entercom's robust portfolio of over 235 highly rated radio stations. BuyerAssist™ generates custom proposals attuned to each campaign's needs. BuyerAssist™ also has the ability to optimize data and course correct to ensure that campaign commitments are fulfilled. Reporting is within 24 hours, greatly expediting current industry norms.

"BuyerAssist™ has automated certain processes that allow our teams to transact local buys more efficiently," said Jennifer Hungerbuhler, EVP & MD of Local Audio and Video at Dentsu Aegis Network. "We will continue to push for efficiencies that deliver incremental value to our clients, including a fully automated transactional process, the capability to layer in first party data, greater transparency into campaign management, as well as the ability to fluidly move dollars between digital and linear broadcasting. The Hudson MX platform is a one-stop shop for our local buyers, helping to achieve greater efficiencies throughout the local investment process. Immediate access to available inventory has enabled more efficient negotiations, and the ability to optimize schedules and access real time campaign performance reporting ultimately enables us to deliver better buys on behalf of our clients." Read news here.

About Hudson MX
By creating modern software that empowers the local buyer of the future, Hudson MX is leveling the playing field between local TV buyers and their digital media peers. In 2019 its BuyerAssist™ platform was used to process $2 billion of local media buys for 30 leading agencies in 210 markets, servicing 294 national advertisers. The world's most respected media agencies and sellers are partnering with the Company to bring the process of local TV buying into the 21st Century for the benefit of today's advertisers. Hudson MX is looking to build on its initial success and expand its offerings by recruiting the best and brightest for its New York and Atlanta dual headquarters.
