transcosmos Releases “PitaPre,” an App That Makes Gift Selection Fun and Easy

transcosmos inc. has released "PitaPre (literally translated into English as perfect match present)," a gift concierge app. "What should I get for her/him?" If you have trouble coming up with gift ideas, PitaPre gift concierges are there for you. By asking for advice from the concierges, users can find a present from a "receiver-first" perspective. PitaPre is a perfect service especially for working women in their 20s to 30s who have more gift-giving occasions including friends' weddings and newborn babies.

Download the app here:
【App name】PitaPre_Gift Concierge App
【iOS】https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/id1472714350
【Android】https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.transcosmos.pitapre
【PitaPre brand website (Japanese only)】 http://www.pitapre.jp
"PitaPre" overview

"What should I get for my friend?" PitaPre is an app that helps users find the "Perfect" present for the gift receiver.
When a user asks for gift advice via the app, various "gift concierges" offer optimal suggestions that match the gift receiver's age, gender, lifestyle and gift-giving occasion. Selecting a present is not that simple and most of us have faced situations such as "couldn't think of anything special, so just picked a basic item" and "ran out of time and picked one in a rush but it didn't match my friend's taste." PitaPre transforms this troublesome present selection process into one that is "easy," "fun" and a "shared" experience.

By enabling users to find a present from a "receiver-first" approach, PitaPre deeply connects special feelings between gift-givers and receivers.

Key features
PitaPre has three key features. Read all the latest news.

(1) Ask for gift advice
You can ask for advice in just a few minutes. Find the perfect present idea for the receiver

To ask for advice, select information that is necessary in choosing a present such as the gift-receiver's gender, your relationship with the receiver, gift-giving occasion and budget, and enter a question that you would like to receive advice on. Users can ask for advice in this simple two-step process – selecting and entering information - in just a few minutes.

Once setting the deadline for advice, users only need to wait for present ideas to come in. With this feature, users can reduce a potential mismatch, meaning, "putting a lot of time into finding a present that they hoped a recipient would like only to find that he/she didn't."
What's more, by selecting a present from all other ideas and clicking the "PitaPre!" button, users can recognize the present as the best idea and thereby convey their appreciation to the concierge who has suggested the present (user's request for advice will be closed when user clicks the "PitaPre" button even before the closing date.)

(2) Suggest a present
Your idea helps solve other users' request for advice

PitaPre calls users who post ideas for a present "concierge." All users can help other users' requests for advice so everyone can become a concierge.

Share presents that made you happy or your gift-receivers happy, gifts that you would love to receive, and your favorite items. All your daily items and gift memories will serve as helpful information for other users.
Concierge level goes up when user's suggestion is selected as "PitaPre!"

(3) MyPage
Save and collect favorite items that you have selected as a present and ones that you would like to give as a present for future occasions
On MyPage, users can stock questions they have asked for advice, ideas they have suggested to others, and ideas they have "liked." Users can utilize MyPage as a memo for the next gift-giving occasion as they can look back and confirm the content as needed.
In addition, users can follow other users and concierges who they like from MyPage.

PitaPre Vision

"Connecting the future with a gift"

No matter how much IT evolves, we believe happiness starts with thinking about people we care about. Click here to read the latest news.

In today's world where we are flooded with goods and information and where consumers' preferences continue to diversify, it is very difficult to find a present that matches the receiver's taste. For this very reason, we offer services that help gift-givers find presents that the receivers will truly love by eliminating disconnect and mismatch among gift-givers and receivers and selected gift products and services. With the ultimate goal of creating a new value in the gift market, PitaPre will enrich connections among people, and between people and goods, and create shared experiences through our services.

Story behind PitaPre development

It was a working mother in her 30s who devised this service. After receiving gifts for her newborn, she prepared gifts in return right after giving birth. Yet, after searching for presents desperately with limited time, she found that her gifts were not particularly appreciated by the receivers. Such experiences made this gift selection process, which ought to have been fun and exciting, painful for her and she had difficulty finding presents. At the time, she strongly wished for her "personal gift concierge." And it was exactly at that moment that she was inspired to devise this service.

Under the concept of "making people feel the happiness a present brings" by solving the same issue people face, PitaPre aims to contribute in making society a more comfortable place to work and live.

This support for low-power operation and the large number of supported devices makes HaLow a perfect fit for IoT and M2M applications.

Monster Energy’s Ishod Wair Takes Gold in Men’s Skateboard Street at X Games Norway 2019

He finally did it! Monster Energy congratulates team rider Ishod Wair on taking the gold medal – his first career X Games gold – at X Games Norway 2019 today. In front of a high-energy crowd at Telenor Arena in Oslo, the 27-year-old from Bordentown, New Jersey, put together a perfect technical run to claim the top spot in the Monster Energy Men's Skateboard Street event. Joining him on the podium, 25-year-old Kelvin Hoefler from São Paulo, Brazil, walked away with a strong bronze-medal finish.

Now in its fourth year and supported by Monster Energy as the official drink sponsor, X Games Norway showcased a unique mixture of action sports in today's ten-hour event: The world's best athletes across Ski, Snowboard, Skateboard and – for the first time at X Games Norway – Freestyle Motocross disciplines battled for X Games medals at Telenor Arena in front of a live audience and connected viewers worldwide.

The skateboard action focused on a state-of-the-art street course in a unique hexagonal design: Built around a centerpiece stage featuring several ledges, stair sets and the tallest handrails in X Games history, the street course was lined by banks, quarterpipes and wallride obstacles around the perimeter. This rich variety of obstacles offered the world's best street skateboarders a chance to go burly and technical – or both!

Wair qualified into the eight-rider final session in second place. Although Wair's name hardly comes up when discussing podium threats in contests, something about Scandinavia – considering his reign as the MVP of the annual Copenhagen CPH Open contest – puts the otherwise free-flowing rider into the contest zone.    

When the time for Wair's first run arrived, he commenced to put down a perfect line well past the buzzer: backside wallie off the Hubba ledge and an unconventional wallie the handrail into bank, backside noseblunt and blunt kickflip the quarterpipe, kickflip backside lipslide the handrail, nollie heelflip and frontside half Cab kickflip over the hip, 360 flip fakie and kickflip fakie the quarterpipe, backside Smith grind the A-frame rail and a switch frontside kickflip the bump after the clock earned Wair an 82.00-point score and the gold medal.

"I was just trying to have a good time, thinking 'whatever happens, happens.' I was in a good mood and it ended up working out," said Ishod Wair upon winning Men's Skateboard Street Gold at X Games Norway.

Today's gold medal has been a long time coming for Wair. Considered a true "skater's skater," the New Jersey local is known for letting his talent shine in the streets rather than the contest arena. His signature mixture of technical mastery and burly stunts have been recognized by Thrasher Magazine's coveted 'Skater of the Year' award in 2013.

But let's not forget that Wair has also had his moments in skate competitions: In 2016, he claimed Skateboard Street bronze at X Games Austin and has won the legendary CPH Open street contest in Copenhagen in 2017 and 2019. Now the star of the Real Skateboards and Nike SB teams can also add X Games gold to his merits.

Joining Wair on the podium, Brazilian tech skating powerhouse and Monster Energy teammate Kelvin Hoefler did not get the flawless run he wanted, but showcased enough difficult tricks to claim a bronze medal. He strung together a perfect Caballerial backside tailslide fakie the Hubba, long backside 180 nosegrind the bank-to-ledge, frontside tailslide up the Euro Gap ledge, kickflip backside lipslide the tall handrail, switch frontside bluntslide the A-frame and nollie backside 360 up the Euro Gap, but lost the handle on a Caballerial lipslide down the big rail. Finishing at 79.00 points, Kelvin walked away with a strong bronze medal finish, his fifth career X Games medal (2 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze).

Over in today's Women's Skateboard Street competition, Brazilian skateboarding prodigy Rayssa Leal made her debut as the latest Monster Energy team rider. Known for taking on burly handrails and gaps far beyond her age class, Leal came to Norway as a top contender for the podium after claiming an upset victory at the SLS World Tour stop in Los Angeles in July and winning Far'n High in France in May.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/a-focus-on-heart-health-risks-in-new.html

In today's finals, Leal landed impressive moves such as frontside lipslide on the tall rail, backside Smith grind the Hubba, backside lipslide the bump to rail, and frontside bluntslide and frontside feeble the A-frame rail. But she stepped off her board and could not get the perfect run she wanted, therefore settling for fourth place. Look forward to seeing more from Leal as one of skateboarding's rising stars at the upcoming SLS 2019 World Championships from September 19-22 in São Paulo, Brazil.
