Technology and Lifestyle Expert, Stephanie Humphrey, partners with Affirm, THX Ltd., and VAIO to explore ways consumers can include tech into their longer summer days and nights. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Cxp49uDveT8 The summer sun is sure to heat things up, but there’s nothing hotter than scoring the latest tech gadgets, like new computers and audio devices, to enhance the warmer months ahead. Additionally, tech makes summer travel easier to manage thanks to certain app-based services. In fact, more people plan to travel this summer with 73% of consumers taking an average of two trips. Over 148 million travel bookings are made annually, with an estimated 700 million people booking online by 2023. U.S. consumers not only rely upon tech for their travel needs, but also everyday purchases, including summer apparel, fitness, and electronics. More than one-third of people use shopping apps between two and five times a week, while 28% use them at least once a day. Technology and Lifestyle Expert, Stephanie Humphrey says whether home or vacationing, consumers can enjoy the season thanks new gear and gadgets. COMPUTER TECH: The popularity of hybrid work schedules and learning from home has increased the demand for computers over the past two years. In fact, more people are expected to work from home throughout the summer months. Humphrey says many of us have found a new life balance when it comes to work and free time, adding, “It’s estimated that more than 36 million of us will work remotely by 2025. That means we’re going to need something that fits our lifestyles.” VAIO, the premier Japanese computer brand known for exceptional quality notebooks equipped with the latest technology, expands its FE Series to offer new high-performance laptops with an impressively long battery life to work, create, game, and watch entertainment from anywhere, for longer. It's equipped with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, Windows 11—and with THX® Spatial Audio—which means an immersive lifelike soundscape for enjoying all types of entertainment. The new VAIO FE laptops deliver maximum performance and immersive experiences in a slim, portable design. Humphrey says it's 10 hours of battery life and powerful computing capabilities, makes the VAIO FE Series a perfect fit for on-the-go lifestyles, especially during summer travel.

The technology expert points out the different ways sound can enhance everyday moments, saying, “I’m thinking about those big summer block busters, at home movie nights, and gaming experiences.” Humphrey highlights how superior sound started years ago with Film Maker, George Lucas. He wanted to get the best audio possible for the moviegoing experience, so he founded THX. Fast forward to today, the company’s first consumer product—the THX Onyx gives consumers master quality audio whether at home or on the go, offering cinematic and studio quality audio right from its laptop. Humphrey says it’s incredibly easy to use with the “Plug and play” functionality and is compatible with all mobile devices, like Windows, Mac (and iOS and Android too). The THX Onyx portable DAC amp (digital-to-analog converter) provides crystal clear audio when listening over headsets to movies, music, streaming or games from any mobile device. It can be paired especially with the VAIO laptop for a superior portable entertainment system, and it also is plug-and-play amp to upgrade your audio from any laptop or smartphone listening!

Humphrey adds, “You get to spread out the costs of summer tech essentials from outdoor speakers to cameras and more, at retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, GoPro and others.” If approved, shoppers can use Affirm to pay over time at more than 200,000 retailers in the U.S. and will never be charged more than the amount they agree to upfront. Humphrey concludes with, “This is a great way to shop your favorite stores online or in-store and pay later. You’ll see Affirm at checkout, or you can request a virtual card in the Affirm app.” Find out more at www.affirm.com.

Growth in the Customer Insights & Feedback Market Is Being Fueled by Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence Adoption, According to Dash Research

Dash Network

The technologies that enable customer experience (CX), such as customer relationship management (CRM), customer data and analytics, personalization & optimization, contact center solutions, and employee experience (EX) solutions, are all integral to companies aspiring to build strong CX programs. However, according to a new report from Dash Research, it is the use of customer insights & feedback technologies that provides the ignition for all of these solutions. These tools provide the direct link between not only customer and company, but also employee. The flow of customer information, both directly asked for and gathered through indirect sources, is critical to the success of CX. Dash Research forecasts that the global market for customer insights & feedback software and services will grow from $5.4 billion in 2021 to nearly $8.0 billion by 2026, an increase of 48%. The CX market intelligence firm anticipates that insights & feedback platforms will represent 55% of the revenue mix during the forecast period, with services constituting 25% and applications composing 20% of the total. “Customer insights & feedback has long evolved past simple surveys and outreach,” says senior analyst Sherril Hanson. “There has been an explosion in customer data type and channel options and vendors have responded by offering a wide range of comprehensive solutions to support not just engaging and easy to set up data collection, but also sophisticated data analytics, insight generation, relevant dashboards, and tools to enable those insights to turn into action.” Hanson adds that at times, this platform evolution is at odds with the widely varying levels of CX maturity in the industry, with some companies lacking the operational processes or company-wide culture to take their CX program to the next level. Consumer sentiment toward feedback is likewise evolving with high expectations placed upon companies to provide timely and empathic responses. Customers want the opportunity to be heard and acknowledged, but on their own terms and via their own channel choice. They also want action taken quickly and in a focused, personalized manner. Dash Research’s analysis finds that the key market drivers spurring the purchase of customer insights & feedback software and services include the following: The move to digital has created an enormous number of channels and sources for feedback. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies allow for the streamlining of analysis, more successful leveraging of unstructured data, and the development of more novel collection methods. Consumer expectations for quick response are spurring strong interest in technologies that enable insights to action/closing the feedback loop. Insight and feedback technologies provide the needed link between EX and CX. A high need exists to better prioritize initiatives and identify churn risk. However, there are many barriers for organizations when attempting to deploy customer insights & feedback solutions, many of which are internal and operational. The key barriers tempering the growth of customer insights & feedback include the following: Lack of CX maturity in organizations. Too much outreach can alienate end users. Inability to move beyond collection and metrics. Internal technologies and priorities lead to data silos hindering information flow. Dash Research’s report, “Customer Insights & Feedback”, focuses on the customer insights & feedback software platforms, applications, and services that are offered to help companies achieve excellent CX. These solutions are an integral part of a customer’s experience and, if done correctly, will be a positive engagement, resulting in less churn, deeper loyalty, and the potential for customers to turn into promoters. From a company viewpoint, successful deployments can boost CX metrics, which are often then linked to an improved return on investment (ROI). Further, these technologies help companies prioritize and focus on the actions that will cause the greatest positive effect and identify other internal points of friction that affect EX. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website. Dash Research, the market intelligence arm of Dash Network, provides in-depth research and insights on the worldwide CX market including a comprehensive assessment of technology solutions, business issues, market drivers, and end-user dynamics across industry sectors. Dash Research’s global market coverage combines qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to provide a complete view of emerging business opportunities surrounding contact center technologies, customer data & analytics, customer data platforms, customer insights & feedback, customer relationship management, personalization & optimization, and employee experience.

New Report Details How to Reduce Carbon Emissions by 22% in Global Supply Chain by Adopting a Freight Data Exchange Standard

Coalition for Reimagined Mobility

The Coalition for Reimagined Mobility (ReMo), a global initiative created to shape policy and ideas for more equitable and sustainable movement of people and goods around the world, today released a report that details the impact of freight sector data sharing to improve the sustainability and reliability of the global supply chain. The report includes new modeling from the International Transport Forum (ITF), which found that the adoption of an open freight data exchange standard would not only improve operational efficiencies across the supply chain, reducing the unprecedented level of goods stuck at global ports, it will also result in an estimated 22% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 and eliminate 2.5 billion barrels of oil per year. Freight data exchange standards are open or freely available technical specifications that define how to share critical information to seamlessly facilitate global freight logistics. Standardizing the exchange of freight data will support a transition to widespread software-enabled communication forming the backbone of better stakeholder coordination across the global supply chain. Clean Fuel and Electrification Are Not Enough to Decarbonize the Freight Sector “We need a comprehensive plan of action to decarbonize our global freight sector,” said Mary Nichols, co-chair of the Coalition for Reimagined Mobility. “Business as usual is not an option. As we transition to increasingly lower carbon fuels, vessels and vehicles, we must also rapidly deploy technology solutions that will drive operational efficiencies - and critically needed climate benefits - across the global supply chain.” ReMo partnered with the ITF to use its globally renowned freight emissions model to quantify emissions reductions that could be generated by data exchange to share logistical data in near real-time and streamline the supply chain. The impact is significant, including: A reduction of sea freight emissions by 280 million tons of carbon per year and road freight emissions by 360 million tons of carbon per year; Elimination of 2.5 billion barrels of oil per year; and A 6-percent cost savings per ton-kilometer. A Freight Data Exchange Standard Will Increase Freight System Resilience and Sustainability While Reducing Oil Dependence. Digitalization of the freight sector has lagged as market and regulatory failures have created barriers to change. The time for action is now. The Coalition for Reimagined Mobility calls on policymakers to take the following steps immediately: Require the use of freight data exchange standards as a condition for accessing ports. Deploy freight data exchange standards that communicates near real-time operational data. Allocate authority to national governments and ports to require the use of freight data exchange standards. Allocate seed funding to ports and industry stakeholders to deploy data exchange standard pilots and projects. Initiate and fund targeted intermodal exchange and smart steaming programs to realize near-term emissions reduction benefits. “The world’s largest shippers and major supply chain players must work together to forge a new path to decarbonization and resilience by embracing digitalization and a globally accepted freight data exchange standard,” said Michael Hynekamp, COO, Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA. “We, alongside members of the Coalition, are committed to reimagining the freight system in collaboration with private and public organizations around the world. Digital transformation is the way towards our sustainable future.” Visit this link to download the full report.

Claravine Brings On Jackie Cooper to Lead the Customer Experience Team

Claravine

Claravine, a pioneer in data integrity with its platform, The Data Standards Cloud, has expanded its senior leadership team with the appointment of Jackie Cooper as Vice President of Customer Experience. As head of the Customer Experience organization, Cooper elevates the voice of the customer by promoting a customer-centric mindset across the organization. Cooper will be focused on highlighting the increased customer value and adoption of the platform’s integrations as well as building upon Claravine's industry-leading retention rate (95%+ for the past two years). Cooper, and Claravine’s 16 additional new hires since Q1 2022, come at a time as the company continues to support major brands like Under Armour, Ancestry and Vanguard, among other Fortune 1000 companies. As measurement requirements continue to change within marketing, Claravine is staying focused on its ambitious growth, positioning itself to double its revenue this year. The deprecation of the third-party cookie and consumer privacy concerns are two primary factors creating an increased need for platforms like Claravine to help marketers to institute good data hygiene at their organizations and implement new strategies for campaign measurement and optimization. Prior to joining Claravine, Cooper led the Technical Solutions Consulting and Ad Network Partnerships teams for the MoPub business unit of Twitter, which was sold for $1.05 billion in 2022.
