Consumer retailers in the U.S. are striving to control costs in an environment of decreasing sales/margins and increasing costs/complications of labor. They are being forced by cash-strapped consumers to deliver more with less. This presents an historic opportunity for companies who provide solutions. Retail automation is a high growth market because it addresses the squeeze that customers and consumer retailers are experiencing. The retail automation market segment includes two market sectors; namely consumer-focused retail point of sale automation and consumer-retailer focused supply chain automation. Retail automation is key to the growth of the retail market because of its high quality service offerings. Focused on security, quality of service, and consumer- and retailer-focused value, Automated-X is carving a niche in this rapidly-growing market by providing comprehensive solutions in automated retail. Through QUICKflickUSA, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company has gained a strong entry into the highly attractive business of automated retail. The store-within-a-store concept helps retailers attract more consumers, control inventory, reduce costs, and market products in areas that would be otherwise unavailable. Automated-X plans to move aggressively into other high-growth convenience/price-driven retail automation opportunities.
The world`s first SaaS experience platform for Communications Service Providers. At Plume, we believe that technology isn`t about moving faster. It`s about making moments better. Which is why we`ve brought relentless focus to understanding the digital lifestyles people want to live, the spaces where they play out, and innovating ways to make digital experiences blossom. As the only open and hardware-independent solution, Plume enables the rapid delivery of new services for connected homes, small business, and beyond at massive scale. For residential subscribers, Plume delivers self-optimizing WiFi, cyber-security, access controls, and more. Our purpose-built suite of smart services turns small business networks into fully connected, business intelligence platforms. And Service Providers get robust back-end applications for unprecedented visibility and support. Our goal is simple: to keep you in the flow with any experiences you turn on. And to help you fill the spaces that matter to you with all kinds of wonderful. With a bias for action and love for breaking molds, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We constantly challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don`t, and work to do what should be done (rather than what can). It`s how we`ve assembled a team of world-class engineers, thinkers, and doers. And it`s how we`re reinventing what`s possible every day. We believe that the core competitive advantage in the over-the-top era resides in the ability to create new services at high cadence, deploy them at massive scale, and to orchestrate through a common data set. Our flexible, cloud-controlled platform paired with an open-source software stack decouples service creation and delivery from dependence on proprietary hardware.
