A year ago
I sat down with the CEO of a Fortune 1000 company and he laid out a vision of
an Single Operating Platform for all of his financial services in a dozen
countries. He said, “That’s what I want”. It was one of those
moments that I wanted to jump out of my seat and say, “ooh, ooh we have that”,
however our Internationalized product was in Beta, and we were weeks away from
deployment in Mexico. We are happy J to
say that Mexico is firing on all cylinders, and so is Sweden for this client J J.
Multiple currencies, tax, regulation, and language. We are feeling pretty
good since this CEO had been waiting years for a product like ours and we were
able to fully deploy at 24 locations after 4 ½ months and delivered on time.
Retail News
Best Buy announced that they will be matching
Amazons prices. Do you think eCommerce is a real threat to Brick &
Mortar? Bravo to the rescue.
We just launched
Auction for Bravo. Our
users now have the power to easily launch one or more items into 4 different
auction formats in 3 clicks. We include an Inventory analytic tool to
scrub and identify slow moving items. The power of our off site
computing for small business with our ONE commerce strategy is unfolding and
getting more and more exciting each day. Our users are seeing
acceleration gains on a daily basis. Below I have included a testimonial
from Dave Munsee one of our early adopters.

process is showing between 3-5% net profit gains for our users. The
complete life cycle from acquisition at the counter to the check received from
the refiner is measured and reported.

Testimonial October 2, 2012
Steve-
A customer comes in and wants a
particular movie or game. We check our inventory but don’t have it. So
instead of letting Mr. or Mrs. Customer walk out empty handed we check MaxPawn,
find it, and order it. Moral of the story is........ customers ALWAYS come here first. We have purchased IPhone, games and
movies from our fellow MaxPawn users.
You may want to pass that
little ditty along.
