| Eddington's add ingredients to fine cookware site |
| Eddingtons of Berkshire, UK wholesaler of fine cookware and kitchenware, with brands including Füri and Aerolatte amongst many others, are adding photographs and data to their new cookware and kitchenware website in readiness to serve a vast array of UK retailers. The final arrangement will allow members of the public to browse a huge range of goods whilst trade members will be able to logon to see prices and trade related data. Eddingtons were recently exhibiting at the Birmingham NEC Autumn Fair. |
| Grayson Time for Wavepage E-commerce Software |
| Wavepage has launched a new website for Grayson Clocks, the UK's leading supplier for time management systems, analogue and LED clocks. Grayson Clocks, who excel in large exterior clock projects including the use of GPS synchronisation, use the unique Wavepage Catalogue Manager to manage their e-commerce website. Wavepage Catalogue Manager allows instant updates of data, prices and pictures. |
| Walsh tools up with Wavepage Catalogue Software |
| Wavepage has completed an e-commerce website for HS Walsh & Sons Ltd of Beckenham, Kent, the UK's leading wholesaler to the jewellery industry for tools, materials and equipment. This significant project clearly demonstrates Wavepage's ability to develop supply chain software for the global market space. The entire inventory of over 12,000 products, many featuring complex engineering data, is configurable through the Wavepage Catalogue Manager allowing instant updates to the www.hswalsh.com site. HS Walsh have showrooms at Hatton Garden, London's prestigious diamond centre, and The Jewellery Quarter, Hockley, Birmingham. |
| Wavepage joins Texas Instruments Team Tag-it |
| In a significant step to embrace emerging RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology into its supply chain solutions, Wavepage has become an approved member of Texas Instruments Team Tag-it. This step heralds a commitment to build software encompassing RFID at a 'grass roots' level. Texas Instruments are a global leader in semiconductor technology and manufacture providing innovative signal processing. |
| RFID Tags - the new revolution |
| RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is set to revolutionise supply chains. Lower frequency RFID, which outputs less power, is already used in many industries. For example, the ski-ing industry uses RFID 'badges' to allow skiers past turn-styles
and onto ski lifts. Unlike bar codes, the great thing about RFID tags is that many items can be simultaneously read, much simplifying stock taking. Imagine being able to walk though a supermarket checkout. A reader tells the cashier what's in the trolley and calculates the cost for the till receipt instantly.
It might even be possible for the customer's debit or credit to be read without the customer removing it from his or her pocket! All the customer would need to do would be to enter the pin number for the debit card on a terminal. The tags don't themselves require power. Instead, they have a tiny antenna which is powered
from a wireless reader. The reader can take product information from the chip such as price and model number. Don't expect the demise of the bar code anytime soon, though. There are many situations where bar codes will offer a better solution, at least in the short to medium term (and of course RFID is an emerging technology). Such an example is asset tracking, particularly where the asset is metal. The problem is, of course, that radio waves don't travel through metal and getting a signal back from the tag is difficult, particularly when a number of items being tracked are in close proximity. Wavepage is developing it's e-commerce software for both technologies. You can find out more about wireless on our wireless information page. |
| Google Strudle |
| At the turn of the year, Google turned the world of search results upside down after modifying its algorithms. Having caused widespread consternation, many assumed this was attributable to Google's AdWords campaign where companies pay to get their pages listed at the top of Goggle's search results.
However, trying to relate this to any kind of pattern has proved hugely difficult and there appears to be no direct correlation between AdWords and the results. Wavepage quickly got on the case to make sure all its customers were right at the top.
A few pages had taken a tumble, but by making extensive modifications and testing the results, rankings have resumed. Of course there's always a caveat in the game of search. Yahoo have recently built a new search engine and have stopped feeding from Google - be sure of twists and turns as these two players battle it out. If you need to get your site optimised, be sure and contact Wavepage. |
