Voc.ai chatbot – a new customer service AI agent – boosts business productivity

SEATTLE, Wash. -- The e-commerce market is one that's rapidly changing and many businesses are struggling to keep up with tracking insight into the market-consumer relationship. Stumbling blocks range from high research costs and closed consumer data to fragmented analysis models. This is where the newly-launched Voc.ai chatbot comes in to play.

Voc.ai, a Hong Kong-based cutting-edge AI SaaS company, has recently secured more than $12 million in funding from top-tier investors to accelerate new market growth and expansion.

Its chat-GPT based approach can help e-commerce, brands, retail, finance and gaming businesses on multiple fronts while building the consumer-brand relationship across the globe. The Voc.ai chatbot consistently communicates across time zones and in multiple languages. It quickly resolves repetitive issues and even identifies solutions for complex issues, freeing up live employees for more complex issues such as refunds and returns.

To date, more than 100,000 e-commerce sellers, including many Amazon super sellers, have chosen to use Voc.ai SaaS products and browser plug-ins.

With the Voc.ai chatbot, customers now have a new and powerful AI tool that can simultaneously handle one thousand plus service tickets for email, chat and other service channels. It can be used for multi-modal and multi-scenario brands too, creating unified service standards and images. It's a simple tool that manages the process and can also analyze customer requirements, implement communication, troubleshoot and resolve problems in the entire chain.

In addition to gathering Internet information, this AI chatbot which provides conversational service, is also trained based on internal enterprise data. Only by combining internal knowledge and external information can the problem closure rate reach 80 percent.

There's also no need for businesses to replace their existing work order system, mail or chat tool. Voc.ai is simply an integrated service to empower the customer service process.

"Businesses that choose to use Voc.ai chatbot will also be more efficient, save money and stay ahead of the curve when it comes to keeping up with innovative e-commerce tools and trends," Hunter Guo, Voc.ai founder, says.

One company, Anker Innovations, one of the largest third-party brand sellers on Amazon, recently implemented the program to solve a multitude of customer service problems that were taking excess time and required a large manpower fleet.

Voc.ai provided Anker with a copilot full-link solution, including underlying data acquisition, enterprise-level AI knowledge base, VOC web-side and plug-in suite, multichannel customer service workbench, and an MI sales forecasting system. The service AI chatbot now covers all products and all countries and the resolve rate is more than 70 percent. Through the email channel, 85 percent of customer complaints are resolved through AI chatbot, and the connection with the internal system is fully automated.

Aravenda Consignment Software Selected as Techstars Oakland Backed Company

VIENNA, Va. -- Aravenda Consignment Software, a leader in consignment software solutions, has been selected as a part of the Techstars Oakland powered by JP Morgan program. Techstars is a prestigious accelerator program that receives over 10,000 applications annually and selects only 2-3% of these applicants in various global cohorts. The Techstars Oakland Program is the first for Techstars in the San Francisco Bay area.

"The Techstars program is more than just a single accelerator; It's a lifelong affiliation with an organization that supports and encourages innovation in the SaaS space, and we are proud to have been selected," said Carolyn Thomson, CEO of Aravenda.

This recognition is a significant milestone for Aravenda and validates its innovative approach to consignment software. Resale is approaching $100 billion + in US-based revenue alone and is expected to grow 127% by 2026.

Aravenda's consignment software feature set has enabled users with vision and passion for resale to create their own Real Real™", StockX™ or Poshmark™ style resale platform. Unique features like fully integrated inbound shipping, remote item entry, pricing assistance and electronic consignor vendor payout functionality are built into the single-price Aravenda subscription enabling online sales and in-store collaborations.

"We're allowing customers to create their own resale platforms with an emphasis on e-commerce supporting brick-and-mortar sales. Aravenda consignment software allows clients to scale their businesses faster, giving them a competitive advantage and generating more profit," said Randy Howard, VP of Operations and Delivery.

In addition to being selected as a Techstars company, Aravenda has continued to receive grant money for improvements and expansion. The International Trade division of Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) awarded Aravenda an export-focused grant to help track their progress toward international growth.

Aravenda, a Shopify Partner since 2018, is committed to fostering partnerships with best-in-class third-party integrations for their clients like Clover and Lightspeed. These programs and awards are critical to Aravenda's international growth strategy and to those in search of the best consignment software to take local resale and antique businesses globally.

Buyers' orders are fulfilled from multiple locations seamlessly, and local chapters of the charity can maintain a local website for local pick-up. This is a note to Aravenda's unique ability to manage franchises with individual Tax IDs across multiple locations.

"We are delighted to see the growth of our team and the recognition of our successes by companies and competitive programs such as Techstars," stated Carolyn Thompson, CEO. "The resale business is recession-proof and gives individuals the opportunity to scale a profitable business with minimal up-front investment.

iDenfy partners with advertising platform MGID to provide ID verification

KAUNAS, Lithuania -- An identity verification and fraud prevention startup, iDenfy, announced its new partnership with MGID, a global advertising platform. Using iDenfy's full-stack ID verification services will help MGID boost new registrations while securing the onboarding process.

Forging documents and committing fraud are more frequent because of the low costs and the technology-driven market. Fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated with their techniques, and businesses and internet users report record financial losses.

Card Not Present reports that in the first half of 2022 alone, there were 800,000 fraud cases reported in the United States. Considering this, iDenfy company officials stress the importance of having a more robust fraud detection system for financial institutions and all digital platform operators.

According to MGID, Know Your Client (KYC) procedures, once strictly used in financial institutions, are standards now adopted by industries outside the financial sector. To keep up with security requirements and to stay compliant with the ever-changing regulations, MGID began to look for a new ID verification provider and found iDenfy's four-step ID verification solution. MGID claims that the new implementation protects current and potential clients by ensuring that the business is transparent and all customers are legitimate individuals.

MGID is a global advertising platform helping brands reach unique local audiences at scale. It uses privacy-first, AI-based technology to serve high-quality, relevant ads in brand-safe environments. The company offers a variety of ad formats, including native, display, and video, to deliver a positive user experience. MGID helps advertisers drive performance and awareness while enabling publishers to retain and monetize their audiences. Brand-safe, privacy-first advertising is MGID's top priority. Alongside protecting user data and maintaining transparency, MGID has strict standards to ensure that users see only relevant, high-quality creatives and honest advertising.

iDenfy's solution was created to respond to the demanding fraud prevention market. The AI-powered verification software detects forged documents and fake identities by quickly extracting information and identifying suspicious patterns. Currently, iDenfy's platform assists MGID in automating customer due diligence and protecting the business from potential risks. Additionally, the newly implemented identity verification service powers a simple yet secure and efficient onboarding process for individual advertisers accessing MGID's platform.

According to the ID verification startup, a higher volume of new registration attempts means a higher chance of fraud, especially if the organization doesn't have the right tools at its disposal. To improve accuracy and completely eradicate fraud, iDenfy's in-house KYC experts review each verification manually, minimizing fraud risks and preventing unwanted registrations during MGID's customer onboarding process.

"iDenfy's advanced identity verification helps us stay compliant with current laws and regulations while providing a smoother experience for our customers. We believe that an effective fraud prevention system is essential in today's digital age, especially if you want to make the best possible decisions for your business," said Oleksandr Nazarenko, Head of the Fraud Protection Department at MGID.

"We've reached one of our goals and created an efficient, user-friendly identity verification process that helps authenticate documents in real time. Now, we're glad to have found more long-term partners who put their trust in our security tools, allowing us to safeguard their business from fraud," added Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy.

About iDenfy:

iDenfy, a platform of identity verification services and fraud prevention tools ensures AML and KYC compliance for every company - from large-scale businesses to small organizations. The rapidly growing business was named the best "Fintech Startup" in 2020. The company also received recognition for winning a Baltic Assembly Prize for innovation in 2021.

Artificial Intelligence in Performance Marketing: UCLIQ Believes Its AI-Based Traffic Delivery and Multi-Layer Fraud Prevention That Can Reshape the Industry

PRAGUE, Czech Republic -- UCLIQ is set to change the future of Performance Marketing with its AI Traffic Delivery and Fraud Prevention. The developers claim their platform can help other businesses instantly target only relevant audiences and detect 53% more fraud.

Artificial Intelligence has irrevocably changed the world we know, and Performance Marketing is no exception.

Due to innovative AI developments, many affiliate and performance marketing platforms already enable businesses to unearth more detailed data on their success, analyze campaigns, and discover possible customers.

But those advanced AI solutions that yesterday were enough to successfully scale and outperform competitors today turn out to be insufficient.

The UCLIQ team believes that businesses seeking to do well in the highly competitive digital space should focus on AI solutions capable of resolving two types of issues - the quality of traffic delivered and protection from fraudsters.

Alex Rand, CEO at UCLIQ, says: "Growing a business in the era of constant breakthroughs requires more than finances and skills. To my mind, to develop and prosper, every modern business needs to be backed by technologies helping improve traffic quality and combat ever-evolving fraud."

Strong in its beliefs, the team at UCLIQ has leveraged all its experience and expertise in AI and Performance Marketing to present its innovative artificial intelligence marketing tools - Smart Traffic Delivery and Multi-Layer Fraud Prevention.

Smart Traffic Delivery System: Overview:

Smart Traffic Delivery is a marketing tool based on AI-powered algorithms to help businesses target the relevant audience intelligently.

Traditionally, a marketing campaign aiming at driving traffic to a business would include digital ads or social media posts across various platforms with the hope that prospects would find the brand and complete the deal.

However, such an approach ignores customers' behavior before and after the campaign, requires the marketing department to analyze all the activity, and stretches the budget.

Unlike conventional techniques, Smart Traffic Delivery examines individual customer behavioral trends, applies mathematical analysis and inductive statistics, and automates multiple repetitive tasks.

This, in turn, enables businesses to monitor all kinds of engagement 24/7, modify campaigns at any time, and maximize their effectiveness without marketing managers' participation and extra expenses.

Also, rich customer insights obtained from AI-driven campaigns allow businesses to create a personalized user experience by autonomously generating relevant content that can appear in front of the right people on the right platforms at the right time.

Multi-Layer Fraud Prevention: Overview:

Multi-Layer Fraud Prevention is another UCLIQ tool designed to improve the quality of traffic.

"Digital space on a par with multiple possibilities to grow has spawned many new forms of fraud. And without proper affiliate fraud protection, a business can quickly lose its position under the growing amount of malicious activity," considers Alex Rand.

The Multi-Layer Fraud Prevention system makes the perfect blend of intelligence and speed. Based on complex AI algorithms and machine learning, it empowers multi-layer traffic scanning by following several metrics at a time.

On top of that, the longer the tool runs with historical and real-time data, the more precise the affiliate fraud detection will be. As per developers, the accuracy can be improved by 53%.

Noteworthy Milestones Achieved with UCLIQ:

Since its introduction to the public market, UCLIQ has managed to detect numerous cases of malicious activity and improve the quality of traffic due to its smart technology and AI analysis.

One of UCLIQ's longest-served customers, Trafee Machine - a CPA affiliate network - while working with over 50K publishers and processing millions of impressions per day, improved its ROI by over 30% by employing advanced Fraud Prevention and Smart Traffic Delivery tools.

In addition, UCLIQ noted that due to its AI-powered tools, Trafee received 100% improvement in specific verticals and 42% improvement in EPM on average.

About UCLIQ:

UCLIQ is a new-age performance marketing platform designed to help CPA networks, startups, and media buyers to intelligently run their affiliate businesses, thanks to AI-driven traffic delivery, 3-layer Fraud Prevention, and Smartlinks that do their job the proper way.

With a clear goal to let everyone improve their business outcomes, UCLIQ always does its best to provide solutions tailored to understand what works better.

UCLIQ can also be found across several social media platforms, including LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.

RelyCircle Networking App helps Small-Businesses Get New Customers with Its Zero Up-Front Cost Referral System and Free Advertising on FB/Google

SECAUCUS, N.J. -- RelyCircle networking app offers small-businesses a Pay-Per-Sale digital advertising platform vs Pay-Per-Click by Google and Pay-Per-Impression by Facebook. The free "RelyCircle Business" app helps small-business owners gain new customers by requesting, tracking and incentivizing referrals from their existing customers. Business owners only pay a cash referral fee after - not before, as is the case with competitors - they have gained new sales.

The majority of that cash referral fee goes straight to the customer, rewarding them for their successful referral. In addition to customers sharing their referral on social media platforms, RelyCircle spends a portion of its revenue towards advertising the listed businesses for free on Facebook and Google.

For customers that enjoy recommending small businesses by giving well-deserved reviews on review sites, this is a game changer. Customers recommend small businesses via the RelyCircle App and earn cash rewards for each referral that leads to a new sale.

"Local business search is the most common type of query performed by consumers and RelyCircle provides the search results based on user recommendations and distance only, providing consumers with unbiased answers to their search," says CEO Minesh Chandarana.

RelyCircle aims to revolutionize social selling by giving businesses a platform to connect with a vast pool of customers without spending any money upfront for advertising.

And with the rising concerns over consumer privacy, RelyCircle's creators emphasize that consumer and business data is never sold in order to gain revenue. The app's sole source of revenue is referral fees.

The "RelyCircle Business app" is available for free download on the App Store and Google Play. Businesses that register will be automatically be entered to win a $10K makeover.

Yiftee Surpasses 400 Community eGift Cards, Launches New In-Person Sales Capability

MENLO PARK, Calif. -- As of today, Yiftee, Inc. is offering another way to "Keep Local Dollars Local" with its new "Order Desk" capability. City offices, Chambers of Commerce, Main Streets, and Downtown Associations can now sell their custom-branded Community eGift Cards to walk-in buyers and at public events, in addition to online sales. These Community Cards can be spent exclusively at local shops and restaurants. Order Desk is available as an add-on for existing Community Card customers at no cost.

"Because we moved from paper-based gift certificates to Yiftee, we have a lot of customers who are used to coming into our office to purchase gift cards for holiday gifts and employee or customer appreciation," said Kenyetta McFall, Marketing and Public Relations Manager for the Quincy, IL Chamber of Commerce. "We used to have to write them up by hand - but now we can create five or five hundred gift cards in a few minutes, print them out and hand them to the buyers."

Yiftee reports that approximately a third of its Community Card sales are from corporate, government, schools, hospitals, and other organizational buyers who give them to their employees and customers. Unlike single brand gift cards, the recipients have many choices of where to spend them. Since corporate purchasers are not as likely to buy a nail salon, pizza place or ice cream shop, these purchases bring new revenue to main street merchants.

Adding new communities rapidly, Yiftee tops 430 US cities in 48 states

The Company also announced that more than 430 communities across the country have adopted its easy-to-use platform for custom Community eGift Cards, and more than 15,000 small businesses use their digital gift card technology either in Communities or as single-brand eGift Cards. There's no cost to the merchants or Yiftee's community partners for the Community Card program. Yiftee charges an eDelivery fee at the time of purchase which can be paid by the buyer or a program sponsor. Yiftee eGift Cards require no special equipment or point-of-sale integration for merchants to participate.

New communities are invited to Yiftee's step-by-step 4-week launch curriculum; with all the materials they will need to market the program, and Yiftee continues to send weekly "Best Practices" all year long, learning from their communities as they grow.

About Yiftee, Keep Local Dollars Local

Yiftee serves more than 400 communities and 15,000 local businesses with simple, secure, PoS-independent eGift Cards that keep local dollars local - more than $30M since the pandemic began in 2020. The company works with Chambers of Commerce, Downtowns, Main Streets, Business Improvement Districts, City Governments and other local organizations to create "Community Cards," branded for the community and redeemable at 10s to 100s of local businesses.

Organizations and individuals purchase them online and send them via email, text or print to friends, family, and co-workers to support their local businesses. There is no cost to the organizers or merchants for the program. Yiftee also provides custom-branded cards for individual merchants, franchises, and chains.
