Plum Launches as the World’s First B2B Retail-Solutions Marketplace

Published

on

The new marketplace puts more than 50 click-and-launch retail solutions at users’ fingertips

Plum’s mission is to bring B2B retail solutions into the ecommerce age

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Plum, the world’s first B2B retail-solutions marketplace, celebrated its public launch today. The online marketplace features a self-serve, ecommerce interface designed to offer brands and retailers a convenient, one-stop destination for audits, insights, merchandising, marketing, ecommerce, and other retail solutions.

 

Initially featuring more than 50 solutions from a host of third-party providers, Plum combines trusted B2B retail solutions with a frictionless, online B2C shopping experience.

“It’s time for retail solutions to enter the ecommerce age,” said CEO and co-founder, Rick West. “Traditionally, retail solutions have made companies jump through too many hoops. If cars can be purchased online with just a few clicks, why not retail solutions?”

All Plum products have been streamlined to maximize efficiency and minimize frustration. From retail auditing to brand photography, solutions are designed to be shopped, purchased, and launched in a matter of minutes, with no contracts, phone calls, or sales presentations.

According to West, the marketplace seeks to eliminate the barriers to entry generally associated with buying B2B retail solutions, reducing the amount of time, effort, and money companies invest, and democratizing the process for smaller businesses. 

“This is the culmination of many conversations with brands and retailers,” West said. “Sales-heavy approaches to retail solutions weren’t working for them. Plum envisions a new future for B2B solutions, substituting a few simple clicks for traditional sales calls.”

Plum is the direct outgrowth of retail-solutions firm Field Agent. Since 2010, Field Agent has served the retail industry with an assortment of retail solutions, powered by a panel of over two million U.S. shoppers. But with the irreversible growth of ecommerce, it became increasingly clear for Field Agent that retail solutions—like everything—were primed for digital disruption. 

“Amazon has trained shoppers to prefer self-education and self-service to sales presentations, even for large or complex purchases,” West said. “We’re focused on becoming the one-stop shop for everything companies need to win at retail, and what you see on Plum today is really just the beginning.”

The initial lineup of Plum products includes auditing, trial, merchandising, ecommerce, marketing, and research solutions from the following providers:

Aisle 9 – Professional brand and product photographyCustomer Impact – Third-party retail merchandising servicesObserva – Third-party retail merchandising servicesRetevo – On-shelf retail intelligence and analyticsWebata – Retail intelligence and performance analytics for Walmart suppliersField Agent – Location-specific auditing, trial, reviews, and insights

New Generation Centralized Control System Promotes “Integrated Operation Monitoring”

Published

on

By

BORTALA, China, Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On December 26, personnel at the monitoring operation and maintenance center of the State Grid Bortala Power Supply Company were conducting acceptance testing for the new generation centralized control system. The company is actively promoting the application of this new system to facilitate “integrated operation monitoring” and enhance the risk management capabilities and equipment refinement levels of the power grid.

The new generation centralized control system serves as a technical support system for monitoring the operational status and fault defects of grid equipment. It acts as the “eyes” and “hands” for managing the operation of power grid equipment. Compared with the old Open3000 system, it optimizes the human-machine interface, refines system functions, and achieves comprehensive awareness of equipment status, defect detection, and proactive early warning, thereby providing efficient information processing capabilities to ensure that monitoring personnel can supervise equipment operation in real time.

During the system construction process, the company actively adapts to changes in production models, scientifically formulates project timelines, and deepens new operation and maintenance management models, such as “unattended + centralized monitoring” and “equipment owner + general practitioner.” This enhances the construction of the new centralized monitoring system and the integration of substation sites, providing comprehensive and robust monitoring support for the reliable operation of the Bortala power grid.

Up to now, the company has completed the construction of the main station of the new generation centralized control system, software and hardware debugging, graphic drawing and other tasks, as well as the station-end access of the new generation centralized control system for 54 substations, the entry of monitoring information into the database, and the forwarding of the front-end data of the new generation centralized control system within the centralized control range. The company carries out the orderly supplementation of monitoring information points for access devices and the verification of remote control information at substations.

In the next step, the company will  actively explore digital transformation, strengthen modern team construction, and innovate practices in intelligent monitoring and business collaboration, all aimed at advancing the construction of modern centralized control stations to ensure the safe and stable operation of equipment.
