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. Be alert to read related news.

"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. Click here.

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. More info here.

(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. Read related news here.

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.

Be alert to the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/canine-camp-getaway-of-ny-dog-vacation.html

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.

Unequivocally categorized as the new generation of audio technology, HyperSound Pro Audio was created by the Turtle Beach Corporation. Within a short time, the technology changed how brands approach in-store media due to its unique ability to create customized audio zones. This marketing advantage was helpful across a broad range of consumers which, in turn, increased sales and the much-coveted dwell time retailers so enjoy.

Huckleberry Makes Sleep Experts 10x More Affordable by Using AI

Huckleberry aims to aid new parents by analyzing their child's sleep behavior. By using human experts and artificial intelligence (AI), Huckleberry is able to provide parents with expert analysis on their child's sleep patterns and how to improve them. Previously, parents would pay hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of dollars for a pediatric sleep expert to review, aid, and advise their situation. However, the combination of sleep consultant and AI completely transforms the process, making it far more affordable.

Parents know that getting used to a newborn baby's sleep patterns can be difficult. Newborns understandably need to wake to eat frequently, and their patterns are still developing. Be alert to read related news.

However, research shows that it takes 4 to 6 years after the birth of their first child for parents' sleep satisfaction and duration to recover. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 76% of parents of young children want to improve their child's sleep. Yet, many do not know how or have the finances to pay for a pediatric sleep expert's help.

The California-based tech company was founded by parents Dr. Seng and Jessica Toh. The couple experienced many sleepless nights with their newborn child, who woke up every few hours for 20 months. Despite researching ways to provide better, longer sleep for their child, the Tohs were unable to find a solution. It influenced them to build Huckleberry and give other parents the tools they need to provide high-quality sleep to their children.

What once cost sleep-deprived parents over $100 for a session with a specialist now costs less than $20 with Huckleberry Premium. Over 150,000 families have already signed up to the Huckleberry platform. According to Huckleberry, over 85% of its Premium customers report improved sleep. Families can also access free tools within the app, including SweetSpot®, which predicts when a child will next be ready to sleep, without becoming overtired. Read all the related news.

"Sleep has an enormous impact on the person we grow up to become," a Huckleberry spokesperson said. "Research shows chronically disrupted sleep is a widespread problem with many ramifications, including school performance, cognitive development, hyperactivity, obesity, maternal depression, and family disruption. By addressing sleep issues at an early age, we can hopefully improve other areas in the future."

About Huckleberry

Huckleberry is a startup tech company backed by Tamarisc Ventures and Spero Ventures. The company is also a part of the 2019 Promise Venture Studio Fellowship in partnership with the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University. Huckleberry was founded by Dr. Seng and Jessica Toh after their own experiences of sleepless nights with their firstborn child. It aims to combine the best in data science and pediatric sleep research to identify what works for parents. Be alert to the latest news.

Palma Ceia SemiDesign Receives Excellent Solution Award at Internet of Things and Smart City Exhibition in Shenzhen

Palma Ceia SemiDesign (PCS), a provider of next-generation wireless connectivity solutions, today announced it received the Excellent Solution Award for its HaLow product at the Internet of Things and Smart City Exhibition in Shenzhen, mainland China.

"IoT and M2M connectivity will be everywhere and used in many applications," said Roy E. Jewell, chief executive officer of Palma Ceia SemiDesign. "In markets where Wi-Fi and cellular IoT will be used — such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication, or tracking the movement and condition of perishable fruits and vegetables — you can expect our connectivity solutions to drive positive business and personal outcomes. This award is yet another validation that our silicon-proven HaLow solutions lead the market in both customer adoption and price/performance."

Wi-Fi HaLow is a new industry standard (IEEE 802.11ah) promoted by the Wi-Fi Alliance. HaLow is targeted directly at IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) RF communication. The new HaLow standard runs in the Sub-GHz range and is able to transmit and receive at longer distances. A single access point can support more than 8,000 devices. HaLow is designed with low-power operation in mind, and the low-power options, in standby and transmission, allow HaLow to operate under battery power for as long as 10 years in some applications. This support for low-power operation and the large number of supported devices makes HaLow a perfect fit for IoT and M2M applications.
