When first launching the app, it asks basic questions about the users style and personality and starts building a taste profile based on the answers. Then the app asks what perfumes the user wears regularly. For each perfume, Perfumance lists traits and characteristics and sorts them into preferred and unpreferred traits, adding an extra level of precision to the algorithms.

 

Based on these inputs Perfumance generates a TRY LIST, a list of the top five perfumes the user is most likely to enjoy and rate highly. The results are given a percentage-based ranking to show how closely they align with the input preferences. Each time a new fragrance is tasted and rated in Perfumance, the new ratings will further refine the recommendations. Like a loyal assistant, Perfumance is available on demand, records ratings over time and recommends more and more relevant perfumes. It becomes highly accurate after 8-10 just ratings. Testers report a keen accuracy in predicting their tastes when sampling the recommendations given by Perfumance.

 

Perfumance includes latest fragrance releases, and updates its database constantly to deliver relevant results, so likely favorites are short-listed even before ever testing them in person. Users can also submit scents not currently listed.

 

Picking out the right fragrance can be a daunting task, but it gets even more complicated if one is looking for the perfect gift for a friend or a loved one. The social features of the app let users share their wish list and give suggestions on what fragrance to buy others as gifts. In addition to all these great features, Perfumance gives insider info on what fragrances top celebrities wear, and allows browsing through perfume choices of the stars revealing how similar their tastes are to the users taste.

 

Perfumance is produced in Budapest, Hungary by Mindenki Media Ltd, a company developing relevancy based recommendation solutions.

GCL congratulates RF Code for Announcing New Asset Management Tamper Detection Tabs at DatacenterDynamics London 2013

RF Code, the industry leader in asset management and wire-free data center monitoring, today announced at DatacenterDynamics Converged a new type of security optimized mounting tab for tracking critical assets in the data center.

AUSTIN, TEXAS - RF Code, the industry leader in asset management and wire-free data center monitoring, today announced at DatacenterDynamics Converged a new type of security optimized mounting tab for tracking critical assets in the data center. Developed to be utilized in concert with the recently released M174 IR-enabled tag, the tabs offer a tamper notification that is triggered when tags are removed, replaced, or altered.

 

Recognized as the smallest active RFID tag available, the M174 offers new features for increased asset tracking capabilities including an IR sensor with four receivers for clear signal reception from any direction and superior anti-collision technology for high tag density environments. Adding to the advanced features of the M174 tag, the new tamper tabs – offered in a flag, loop or thumb-screw mounting design – enable an additional layer of visibility to asset management by providing immediate and continued alerting about its tamper status.

 

"The M174 tag was engineered for reuse over its lifetime. Through the use of a 'tag key,' tamper tabs can be removed and replaced as needed from the tag. The tag will immediately beacon an alert if a tab is removed from the tag, pulled off the asset, or if the tab is physically cut," says Chris Gaskins, vice president of product development for RF Code. "This advancement in asset tracking devices offers a level of asset tracking visibility that has not existed before in the data center.  Accurate real time data about the location of assets is coupled with information that speaks directly to its security status."

 

M174 tags with tamper tabs, when mounted to assets, will continuously beacon the status and location of the asset. If the tab is removed or modified in any way the tag immediately and continuously transmits a tamper alert signal, allowing personnel to respond to the incident promptly. The significance of this feature is easily recognized in cases where loss of physical material produces costly results for companies. Examples of such security breaches include an incident with Blue Cross Blue Shield whose loss of 57 disk drives amounted to $18.5M in fines and where the loss of tapes by the U.S. Department of Defense resulted in a $4B lawsuit.

 

"As digital data continues to grow at a phenomenal rate, additional security needs to be adopted to protect private records, adhere to regulations, and prevent theft of intellectual property. Taking the highest measures in protecting data storage hardware is a vital requirement for all businesses," says Richard Jenkins, vice president of marketing and strategic partnerships for RF Code.

 

With over 1600 incidents of data loss recorded by the Open Security Foundation and DataLossDB, approximately 35% of those incidents were attributed to lost or stolen property. According to a report by KPMG International, a US audit, tax and advisory services firm, over 1 billion people were affected by data loss attacks in the past five years with health care and professional services organizations, which maintain the largest databases of personal information, being responsible for losing the personal details of more than 18 million people.

 

AT THE BOOTH
RF Code will showcase the M174 IR-enabled tag with the new tamper detection tabs and demonstrate wire-free data center monitoring and real-time asset management through their recently released mobile management application designed for use on smartphones, tablets, and iPads®. In addition, the company will highlight actual cost saving results provided by leading global enterprises after deployment of RF Code’s asset tracking and monitoring systems.

GCL congratulates Ultravisual Launches Visual Publishing App for iOS 7

Ultravisual is a microblog for photos, videos, stop motion, and GIFs to come forward in a fluid way with incredible editing capabilities.

New York, NY - Ultravisual, the new mobile app for creating, collaborating, and sharing visuals, today announces that it has launched for iOS 7. Ultravisual aims to change the ethos of visual sharing by introducing a multi-dimensional platform for curating collections of photos, videos and GIFs, accentuated by a stunning interface design.

 
“We’re in the middle of a cultural shift toward visual communication, and we’re eager to evolve the way people connect with one another,” said Neil Voss, Founder and Director of Ultravisual. “Ultravisual speaks to this evolution by emphasizing quality, with a highly fluid and aesthetically beautiful approach, anchored in topical conversations. We want to make social sharing more meaningful.”

 

How it works 
The Ultravisual interface purposefully supports different sizes and formats of visuals, so there are no restrictions or limits to the way a story is told. 
Key product features include feed, collections, camera and editor. 
•Feed – Displays updates in activity from the people and collections users follow. 
•Collections – All content in Ultravisual is grouped into Collections, infinitely scrolling streams of photos, videos, and GIFs. Collections can be built individually or with other users. 
•Camera – The camera is entirely gestural and does not distinguish between photo and video modes. Simply tap for photos and hold for videos. The camera also shoots in burst mode when quickly tapped. Swipe while in camera mode to add filters. 
•Editor – Users can import photos and videos from the camera roll or other platforms to publish singularly or combine with other media in the editor. Video clips can be spliced by rearranging or discarding sections, or combined with other media. Swipe to publish or delete media, and tap to preview. Users can add headlines, captions and hashtags to media before publishing into a collection.

 

There is no imposed cropping on photos or videos that force them into a single format or duration. Instead, Ultravisual enables a wide range of expression and scale to bring this diverse media together in a cohesive, beautiful way. These features, along with robust editing capabilities, are key for redefining the mobile image experience.

 

Ultravisual officially launched in the app store on November 7, featured worldwide by Apple as a Best New App in the photo/video category.

 

About Ultravisual 
Ultravisual is an app for creating visually beautiful and collaborative stories with like-minded people. Users can take photos or upload content from personal photos, videos, images from the web, and GIFs, that are individually curated into tailored Collections based on themes or ideas.

GCL states Flex Business Solutions Launches New Exercise App Designed to Revitalize Cardio Workouts

Flex Business Solutions announces the release of an exciting new mobile fitness app, CardioSurprise, which brings new life to monotonous cardio routines.

New Jersey, NJ - Flex Business Solutions has announced a new mobile fitness application that is available for download on both iOS and Android systems. CardioSurprise—which is developed by http://www.SEMGeeks.com—is designed to complement the traditional cardio workout, while encouraging users to reach new heights in endurance, agility and commitment.

 

The idea behind CardioSurprise is to break through the monotony of conventional cardio workouts, such as running on a treadmill or using the elliptical machine. While these exercises are some of the most effective options for getting a cardiovascular workout, they can sometimes leave people focusing more on when the workout will end, rather than fully investing energy into their performance and the enjoyment of exercise.

 

The CardioSurprise application is designed to make traditional cardio workouts more fun and effective by shuffling in surprise circuit training activities at random or pre-selected intervals. Each 60-second strength or conditioning exercise—or circuit—offers a welcome breather as well as the opportunity to cross-train multiple target areas. The result is a complete facelift of the traditional cardio routine.

 

App creator Nancy Mancini shares with us, "The app has truly made my cardio workouts more enjoyable and helped me to stay motivated. I am no longer looking at the clock; I’m enjoying the cardio and looking forward to the next circuit."

 

The new circuit training application has universal appeal, as workouts can be tailored to all levels of fitness. With fully customizable features, the user can select circuits suited to their skill level and personal goals. CardioSurprise is convenient and easy to use, whether at home, in the gym or on the go. Perhaps the greatest benefit of this mobile app is that it encourages users to enjoy the moment and reach new personal bests in their cardio routines.

 

Generating an ounce of energy to jump on the treadmill or step out the front door is enough to get started; CardioSurprise does the rest, as the app prompts the user to upcoming circuits with visual and audio cues while the momentum builds upon itself. Refreshing. Energizing. Motivational. The way exercise should be.

 

CardioSurprise lives up to its name by providing plenty of surprises for users during their workouts; most surprising of all will be how much more can be achieved physically when the mental roadblocks of the same old predictable routine are removed.

 

To learn more about the app and how it works, visit http://www.CardioSurprise.com. CardioSurprise is available for iOS and Android and can be downloaded at the following locations:
Apple App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id681001850?mt=8.
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flexbusinesssolutions.cardiosurprise.

GCL states eMobile Software Introduces mReminder the Worlds First Smartphone Enabled Group Reminder and Scheduling Device

Mobile enabled group reminder and scheduling device mReminder is now available for pre-order on Kickstarter. mReminder is designed to keep families and business colleagues in sync by posting schedules, reminders and announcements remotely from anywhere via smartphones.

Sugarland, TX - e-Mobile Software Inc. today announced the launch of its Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for its group reminder and scheduling device mReminder™. e-Mobile has set a goal of $250,000 to manufacture the first commercially available devices. Early backers are rewarded with heavily discounted prices and they will receive the first devices.

 

mReminder is a shared calendar and scheduling device for families or project teams that allows users to sync and simplify their work and life schedules. Families and business colleagues can keep in sync by posting reminders, schedules, memos, photos, audio messages, notes and announcements to the mReminder device from anywhere using their smartphones.

 

“mReminder makes it easy to share important messages and schedules so they dont get lost in the clutter of constant emails, text messages or back and forth phone calls, said Wayne Jiang, founder of e-Mobile Software Inc. “We want to help simplify and sync peoples daily lives so they can be more efficient at work and enjoy more family time together at home.

 

The mReminder device connects via home or office WiFi and is preloaded with the mReminder device application. mReminder has four simple buttons on top: Reminder: to create a reminder on the device; Family: to Display family postings; Photo: to toggle between daily reminder and photo album and Calendar: displays monthly and daily schedules.

 

For businesses, each team member can update their project status or availability remotely from anywhere including on overseas business trips. They can also use the mReminder as a team calendar that separates project team specific information from the everyday office emails and voicemails.

 

A smartphone is a personal tool, it helps organize the daily schedule for one person. It's great for one-to-one communication, but not for one-to-many, added Jiang. mReminder is a group tool, meant for a family or a business team. It's tough to keep everyone on the same page without back and forth phone calls or emails. Since mReminder is mobile enabled, each person in the team or family can communicate with the central device from anywhere and this reduces redundant communication.

 

The device also introduces a protected family social network, allowing families to privately share photos remotely and create a family life digital album without worrying about exposing personal information on the internet.

 

Supporting mReminder apps will be available for iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phones that will allow users to receive updates and communicate with the device using their smartphones. 
mReminders Kickstarter campaign will run until December 22, 2013.

GCL publishes NoWait Releases New Updates to Dining App

New App Update Allows Diners in Pittsburgh to Remotely Add Their Name to the Wait Lists of More Restaurants and Sync with Social Media Accounts

Pittsburgh, PA - The restaurant seating management service NoWait today announces a new update to their local consumer dining app. The app, which allows diners to remotely search nearby restaurant waits and add their name to a wait list, now includes more restaurants, new sharing features and syncs with users’ Facebook and Twitter accounts.

 

Similar to check-ins on Foursquare, NoWait users can now let friends know when they’ve added their name to a restaurant wait list by turning on the Facebook sharing feature, which will post where you’re waiting in line. The app’s new Facebook integration features will also allow users to invite friends to download the app through Facebook and Twitter. If desired, users can also turn on a setting that will send push notifications when new nearby restaurants have started using NoWait.

 

First launched in September, NoWait’s consumer dining app is the first of its kind, allowing users to directly connect and communicate with restaurants in a new, more direct way. In addition to the ability to search wait times of nearby restaurants and remotely add a name to the wait list, NoWait’s consumer app allows diners to view and track their overall plan in the line and communicate with the restaurant through their cell phones. NoWait is planning on a wider roll out of the consumer app to cities across the country in 2014.

 

“Our consumer app offers a service unlike any other currently available, and with the addition of social media integration, we’re continuing to build a new channel for restaurants and consumers to connect,” said NoWait CEO Ware Sykes. “This local app is a model for what we soon plan to roll out across the country.”

 

Since its initial roll out in Pittsburgh, NoWait’s dining app has maintained a 97% approval rating among users, and the app has decreased the time diners spend waiting in restaurants from up to 90 minutes down to 5 minutes.

 

Restaurants have been equally pleased, with many remarking that their dining service is more efficient and that their customers happier. “At first, we were a bit nervous to use NoWait, thinking that we would be losing control over our wait lists, but we found that the app was far better than we were at quickly and efficiently seating customers,” said Jimmie Kuhl of Burgatory Bar in Pittsburgh, PA.

 

NoWait’s consumer app is an extension of the company’s app for restaurants, which is used in thousands of restaurants across the U.S. from major chains like Chili’s and TGI Fridays to popular independent hot spots like Iron Chef Jose Garces’ Village Whiskey in Philadelphia and Hubert Keller’s Burger Bar in Las Vegas. The app has currently seated more than 21 million diners across the country.

 

NoWait’s consumer dining app update will be available for download in the App sore on Tuesday, Nov. 26 here(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nowait-restaurant-guide-wait/id691617940).

GCL congratulates Imprint Enterprises Launches Mobile Customer Management Check In App

Imprint Enterprises, Inc., an Aurora-based supplier of barcode labeling supplies and software has announced a complete mobile customer management application called Catapult, which is part of the Slingshot family of mobile applications.

Aurora, IL - Imprint Enterprises created new mobile (Android) customer management/check-in solution called Catapult, for family entertainment facilities such as paintball parks, amusement parks, water parks, and essentially any facility with a ticket window. Catapult is a complete customer registration and management system in the cloud, including a ticket window app, mobile app, and all associated hardware and supplies as needed.

 

Catapult has already been implemented successfully in checking-in competitors at CPX Sports in Joliet, IL. CPX sought to expedite check-in for players, and realized a pre-registration process would offer more opportunity for players to check-in early. They also wanted to create a way for customers to check-in onsite beyond the ticket window.

 

Catapult allows CPX Sports to process admissions via a smart phone or tablet. Team members use the web-based Catapult to check-in players in line, and print a receipt on the spot with the Zebra MZ 220 mobile receipt printer. Then, CPX uses the Zebra HC100 printer with Z-Band Fun wristbands equipped with barcodes for electronic access into the park.

 

Normally it would take us 20 hours to check in 2,000 players, says Sean Scott at CPX Sports, but with Catapult application and Zebra Mobile Receipt and Wristband printers we can do it in about 6 or 7.

GCL states GPS Locator Locca Tracks Luggage Internationally

Although it was reported last year in 2012 that there was a significant decrease in lost luggage, an article by Conde Nast Traveler reported that in 2011 an estimated 26 million checked bags go missing every year. This has made checked luggage a million-dollar business for the airlines and one big hassle for travelers.

Los Angeles, CA - Although it was reported last year in 2012 that there was a significant decrease in lost luggage, an article by Conde Nast Traveler reported that in 2011 an estimated 26 million checked bags go missing every year. This has made checked luggage a million-dollar business for the airlines and one big hassle for travelers.

 

The Viennese hardware startup Locca has developed a locating device called the LoccaMini, part of the Locca StuffPack, which assists individuals in tracking down their luggage, for example, as soon as the plane hits the ground. In the case any checked baggage is not at the planes destination, travelers can locate their luggage quickly with this small, easy to operate gadget. Their luggages whereabouts can be detected accurately via a smartphone app through iOS, Android, Windows Phone or the web. This enables consumers to alert the airlines should they not be able to track the luggage, for a variety of reasons including that the bag ID was torn off during travel.

 

The LoccaMini, which is as short in length as a matchstick, is water- as well as shockproof and can be easily packed into any piece of luggage. Should the bag be stolen or lost, the LoccaMini, tucked away in the smallest of compartments, can alert the traveler before it is discovered. This way whether the luggage contains valuables or everyday keepsakes, travelers can even alert their friends and family to assist in tracking the luggage.

 

Through the combination of four locating technologies, the LoccaMini is the most reliable system of its kind. Amongst others, the gadget uses AGPS, GSM-cell-triangulation, Bluetooth low energy, and home detection by FSK in addition to sound- and light-positioning. Moreover, every LoccaMini is equipped with a SIM card that allows an unlimited positioning all over the world via a monthly flat rate of $13.62, which covers all costs for the occurring data traffic. After a six-month contract duration, the scale can be paused three times a year, for example, when travel is less frequent. An intelligent energy saving mode triples the battery life of the LoccaMini, which in sleep mode can last for more than 30 days. The LoccaMini then awakens in case its tracking services are needed.

 

In order to stimulate the gadgets serial production, Locca started an advance sale via the crowd-funding platform Indiegogo (http://igg.me/at/locca). On the portal, users can order the Locca StuffPack, consisting of the LoccaMini, a charger, and three silicon cases, already in advance. Until the third of December, users of the platform can profit from a discount of 30 percent so that the location device can be purchased for $135, with the semiannual dues for the roaming SIM card included. The Locca StuffPack will be delivered by early next year to all customers who have pre-ordered the location device.

 

About Locca: 
Locca is the worlds smallest, lightest and most sophisticated GPS locator with precise in- and out-door locating technologies that allow users to stay in contact with everyone and everything by using a smartphone app, tablet or desktop. Launching first in Germany and Austria, Locca is now available to the US market as its cutting-edge location technology is operational worldwide for international use, combining five superior tracking technologies including FSK, GSM cell triangulation, Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi, and AGPS.

 

The two varieties of Locca, the LoccaMini and LoccaPhone, are ideal for tracking the location of small objects and animals and infants and the elderly, respectively, with communication software included with the LoccaPhone. Both come with a pre-installed SIM card, beeper for audio-locating, motion detector, LED flashlight, energy saving mode, as well as waterproof and shockproof housing, as part of five customizable packages.

 

Locca is in the presale phase and has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise additional funding. Within a year and a half, Locca has been able to develop the ultimate tracker unifying qualities of modern design, minimal constructive, intuitive handling, extensive battery service life, and a prime tracking technique.
