Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein Is The UK’s Hottest Ticket

SeatChoice.com urges fans to shop around for the best deals on tickets which could cost them up to £600.00 a pair for this ‘sold out’ production.

London, UK - March 23, 2011 -- Danny Boyle’s take on Mary Shelley’s classic gothic horror story Frankenstein is the hottest ticket in town according to leading theatre and gig ticket comparison website SeatChoice.com.

Tickets for the acclaimed production at the Olivier National Theatre on London’s South Bank have been the most searched for of all the 4,500 musicals, plays, operas, ballets and concerts currently listed on the website.

The play, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, who alternate in the main roles of Frankenstein and The Creature, opened on the 5th of February 2011 and runs until the 2nd of May 2011.

However, with all performances now officially sold out except for a limited number of ‘day tickets’ which are only available directly from the box office in person on the day of the performance, SeatChoice.com says fans with deep pockets may still be able to find seats by shopping around.

SeatChoice.com founder Robert Iles said: “Ticket reselling sites such as Viagogo and Getmein do have some tickets available but prices are steep with a single ticket costing from £214.00 to £249.00 plus postage and a hefty arrangement or booking fee of around £78.00 on top of that. All in all fans could expect to pay between £500.00 and £600.00 for a pair of tickets.

“This is the hottest ticket in town at the moment beating even The Wizard of Oz in terms of the number of searches being carried out for seats and theatre fans who are desperate to see Frankenstein will have to shop around not only to find available tickets but also to ensure they get the best deal.”

The Top 10 Hottest Tickets in the UK according to SeatChoice.com

1. Frankenstein – Olivier (National Theatre), London

2. The Wizard of Oz – London Palladium

3. The Royal Ballet, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Royal Opera House, London

4. King Lear – Lyric Theatre, Salford

5. Dirty Dancing – Aldwych Theatre, London

6. Madam Butterfly – The Royal Albert Hall, London

7. Swan Lake – Royal Opera House, London

8. The Children’s Hour – The Comedy Theatre, London

9. Two Door Cinema Club – Barrowlands, Glasgow

10. Rihanna – Loud Tour at the O2, London

Tickets for Frankenstein are also appearing on auction sites such as ebay but buyers should be aware of the limited protection they have when buying theatre and concert tickets through unauthorised sellers.

GrMAP Launches Comprehensive Merchandise & Assortment Planning Tool to Improve Retail Forecasting

New Enterprise Software Suite Integrates with ERP or Works as Standalone Solution to Optimize Merchandise and Assortment Planning and Allocations to Maximize Profits.

New York, NY (March 22, 2011) -- GrMAP (www.grmap.com) today announced the release of a new enterprise software solution for merchandise and assortment planning (MAP) for mid- and large-scale retailers. Supported by Groupsoft US (www.groupsoftus.com), an international development team delivering complete retail solutions, including ERP implementations , supply-chain optimization, and business warehouse consulting; GrMAP can be used as a stand-alone merchandise planning solution or to supplement other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms such as SAP Retail and SAP AFS. GrMAP helps retailers maximize sales and optimize GMROI (gross margin return on investment) by delivering actionable data that enables assortment planning with pinpoint precision to improve in-stocks and reduce markdowns. GrMAP also provides granular insight to support effective inventory localization initiatives as well as seamless cross-channel planning for a fraction of the cost of other MAP alternatives.

To optimize GMROI, retailers need to surgically manage their inventory in order to minimize losses due to over-stocking and stock-outs. Surprisingly, even with sophisticated ERP and data warehouse software, many retailers can't access the data they need, so they export data into spreadsheets for inventory planning, which leads to inaccuracies, querying the wrong data elements, or using inconsistent and/or incorrect decision parameters, and other errors.

GrMAP’s merchandise assortment planning approach automates inventory planning for better GMROI with:

• Integrated sales, margin, inventory planning and forecasting;

• Improved SKU accuracy to minimize overstocks and stock-outs at the store level;

• Localization so segmentation aligns with assortments based on demographics, geography, and competition;

• Cross-channel planning across store, online, and direct distribution channels;

• Reduced markdowns and increased margins; and

• Faster, more efficient forecasting.

“We created GrMAP as a means to conceptualize the merchandise and assortment planning process from a retailers’ perspective,” said Amitabh Nema, founder and creator of GrMAP. “While retailers have comprehensive inventory and stocking data captured in their ERP systems, they can't mine that data effectively for strategic planning. Rather than using spreadsheets, GrMAP allows retailers to make smarter inventory management decisions in a user-friendly and fully integrated system resulting in more accurate forecasts down to store, size, and color. Our success in Asia and other markets shows that we can increase GMROI for a fraction of the cost of an SAP, Oracle, or other competitive solution.”

Top Down and Bottom Up Planning (Assortment Planning)

The GrMAP Enterprise Version includes modules for Top Down planning, Bottom Up planning, and Allocation across multiple countries, report formats (including e-commerce), and currencies. Planning is based on Process Objects that map to logical groups of stores defined by the retailer, either by retail format, store grade, store assortment, store profile, or brand portfolio. Using Objects, retailers can plan capabilities at multiple levels of granularity, performing “what if” scenarios across multiple key components.

For Top Down planning, GrMAP provides a template to create higher-level strategic and lower-level detailed top-down plans. Strategy Planning is executed at the store and retail format level to set the annual budgets. Then, the Merchandise Plan is developed based on a product hierarchy, considering sales, inventory, and margin objectives. The Store or Location Plan is then developed for the Merchandise Hierarchy, with sales forecasts for each category in each location for any and/or all merchandise categories.

GrMAP’s Assortment and SKU planning module also synchronizes Bottom Up planning with SKU-level allocations in terms of number of units and assortment required to match the forecast. GrMAP has the ability to manage large volumes of data to plan down to the store level across multiple channels, helping buyers reconcile financial plans with bottom-up merchandising plans. It allows for comparison and tracking of in-season actual sales with forecasted numbers, re-forecasting as needed, suggests markdowns based on product lifecycle, substitution and discontinuations at the generic or SKU level, and much more.

Open to Buy

Also included is a comprehensive Open to Buy (OTB) suite that tracks forecasted sales versus receipts and inventory projections in order to arrive at an optimal Open to Buy on a weekly or monthly basis. There also is an Allocation and Replenishment suite that tracks perpetual inventory and ensures that optimum stocking levels are set for each location based on store fixture fills, forecasted sales, latest sales trends, promotional activity, seasonality, and other factors. The Allocation engine has multiple algorithms to stock stores based on sales performance, store priorities, store clusters, and other criteria, and it can be seamlessly integrated with the organization’s supply chain system. Lastly, GrMAP includes a suite of Analysis Planning Analytics to generate a wide range of analyses and reports at every phase of the planning and in-season cycles.

GrMAP has already been implemented in North America by a premium eyewear retailer, an international luggage brand, and a global manufacturer of sunglasses.

SyndicIT Services Introduces HP Slate Tablet ‘Drag and Drop’ Document Management Solution for Paperless Operations in the Commercial and Multifamily Real Estate Industries

Austin, TX - March 21, 2011 – SyndicIT Services Corporation (SyndicIT) today announced that ‘Syndi’, the ‘virtual property assistant’ that operates as a desktop electronic avatar to capture, manage, store and retrieve both scanned paper documents such as leases, and electronic documents such as PDF’s and spreadsheets in a SaaS, cloud-based environment, is now operational on the HP Slate tablet computer. Syndi, appears as an icon on the user’s computer desktop making electronic file and scanned paper document capture and storage ‘drag and drop’ simple. Simply ‘drag’ the file or document with your finger to Syndi and Syndi automates the indexing and storage. Touch Syndi and she opens your electronic file cabinets for document retrieval. Syndi provides anywhere, anytime, access eliminating the hassles, costs and risks associated with using, storing and managing paper, making paperless property operations ever more mobile whether using a laptop, net book or now the HP Slate tablet.

Syndi is also designed as a context sensitive integrator for ‘line of business’ application integration meaning that users of business applications can now use the auto store, indexing and search functions for storing and finding documents in real time, based on the active screen of the application they are using. ‘Syndi’ is an intelligent desktop applet who always knows by application what you are doing, and thus can provide real-time automated document storage, indexing, linking or retrieval of documents driven by the key index fields of active applications or general ledger account entries.

“This capability is a significant enhancement to the anytime, anywhere use of cloud based document storage and management. And, when used with other business applications such as property management software, it creates an environment for true real-time use of key document index values eliminating the need for users to spend time and keystrokes to accurately store or search for digital documents they use in property management such as resident and property leases. Syndi is now smart enough to know ‘where you are and what you are doing’ in your applications and then drive the capture, storage and management of digital documents accordingly. This technology is called context sensitive integration,” said Debra Radice, Managing Director of SyndicIT Services Corporation. “We fully understand that a document management system without full integration to active ‘line of business’ applications is not a true solution” she added.

The Company also stated that SyndicIT’s document management solution is already being used to process over 250,000 documents a day in paperless business operations.

MEET “SYNDI,” THE DESKTOP AVATAR WHO DOES ALL THE WORK

Syndi is a new age, desk top ‘drag and drop’ electronic avatar. Syndi ensures that all documents are captured, monitored, properly handled and filed. Syndi performs as an intelligent integrator, a scanner applet, present on the user’s computer desktop enabling simple, fast and easy ‘drag and drop’ auto indexing and capture of scanned or electronic documents whether they be Outlook messages, Excel, Word, PDF files, .TIF images, photos or even voice files to be digitally captured and shared. Syndi’s unique ‘print to Syndi’ function enables users to ‘print documents’ directly to the correct electronic file cabinet. Syndi also constantly monitors scanning devices moving scanned paper documents automatically into workflows, to-do folders, in-boxes or electronic file cabinets. The SyndicIT system also features ready-to-go document workflow processing, integration with Outlook, QuickBooks and SalesForce.com to expedite document, message filing and attachment filing from these popular business applications.

TruckersAmerica confirm the Truck Driver shortage is back

Rhode Island, USA, March 11, 2011 -- Annette Carpenter, CEO of TruckersAmerica says: “Right now we are seeing a big jump in job orders - the largest jump in 12 months for drivers and owner operators. There is a major focus in the mid-western states, but we feel that within the next 6 weeks it will be nationwide. This week alone we have taken orders for 95 drivers that we need to fill within 2 weeks.”

When there is a shortage of quality drivers, it makes hauling freight very difficult. 15 harvest driving jobs urgently need to be filled in North Dakota just as an example. 50 driving positions OTR running throughout the entire mid-west.

“Truck drivers are in such high demand right now, and realistically have little to no reason to be unemployed. Sure, the work conditions can be different, they are not usually a normal 9 to 5 job, but then again, in today’s economy, you rarely find anyone working 9 to 5. The difference is a driver needs to stay away from home and live on the road, for periods at a time. But view the glass as half full or half empty. A trucker is either away from home but supporting the family and lifestyle choices, or home watching TV waiting for local job,” states Carpenter.

Truckers’ wages and salaries vary, but in this industry and the busy season approaching, if truckers are available to run the miles, and run those miles safely, there is a very decent wage available.

Trucking is a career, a lifestyle choice. Given that the transportation companies are more aligned to what the driver needs nowadays, along with the implementation of CSA 2010, the driver is much more appreciated.
