To hear Jonathan Bellwood's story, you would think that borrowing money in these markets is easy.
While walking through the reception of his offices in the market town of High Wycombe this time last year, the owner of PeopleVox, a supplier of stock control systems, saw Gordon Brown, prime minister, on television insisting that the UK's high street banks must lend more.

Over 200 representatives from the business, technology, research and investment communities in Oxfordshire and beyond gathered at the Saïd Business School last night as the winners of the Martin and Audrey Wood Enterprise Awards 2009 were chosen.
These prestigious Awards celebrate innovative and technology-based companies in the region, and were established in honour of Sir Martin and Lady (Audrey) Wood, co-founders of Oxford Instruments plc. The Woods grew Oxford Instruments from a start-up in 1959, which was Oxford University's first spin-out company, into a global instrumentation business that will mark its 50th anniversary this summer. The finalists made three minute presentations before the winners were announced, and guests also enjoyed the opportunity for some informal networking during refreshments.

Aim of project
Deploy data capture solution using handheld mobile computers to enable accurate stock control in Christie's fine art storage facilities. Solutions Having evaluated the most suitable handheld devices through a short test period, Christie's decided upon the Motorola MC3000 devices due to their suitable form factor, weight, operating system functionality and the fact that it is a proven widely deployed product. This enabled seamless connectivity to their existing Cisco wireless network. To enhance the functionality of the data capture application provided through their warehouse management system, PeopleVox also provided Christie's with an automated File Copy program residing on the Motorola MC3000 devices. This enabled Christie's to execute in the background at a configurable time, copying configurable named files from the MC3000 to a configurable WAN network folder. About Christie's Fine Art Storage Services Christie's Fine Art Storage Services (CFASS) is the world's leading provider of customised storage solutions for fine art, antiques and collectibles. As an independent, wholly-owned subsidiary of Christie's Group, they provide services to a diverse group of collectors, galleries, museums and auction house clients around the world. |

London, 29 January 2009 - PeopleVox, the UK developer and implementer of asset visibility and control solutions, today announced its new range of RFID-enabled handheld wireless readers dedicated to the fashion retail industry. The PVX-Series range delivers previously unattainable levels of combined read rate and accuracy plus the option of 'all-in-one' compatibility with RFID, barcode and voice on a single handheld device.
With the PVX-Series, PeopleVox brings the full potential of RFID-enabled data capture within easy reach of retail businesses wanting to perform item level counting accurately, quickly and regularly, while also increasing staff productivity and improving customer service. The PeopleVox PVX-50 integrates with mobile handheld devices such as the Motorola CA50 wireless barcode scanner, adding RFID functionality to its voice and data capabilities, while the PVX-100 is a dedicated standalone RFID-only unit incorporating its own screen, LED indicators and input buttons. In pre-launch tests carried out by RFID tag manufacturer Avery Dennison, the PVX-100 was evaluated against the current market-leading RFID readers and consistently scanned rails of tightly-packed garments faster than its competitors, with a read accuracy of greater than 99.99%. The PVX-100 took less than 40 seconds to read the full complement of 350 items, while its nearest competitor picked up an average of 325 of the tags, an error rate of more than seven per cent. This development from PeopleVox creates exciting opportunities for fashion retailers that have previously tested RFID solutions and found them overpriced and lacking in performance. "Industry demand is typically for 99.96 per cent or better read accuracy, which until now was an unattainable goal in a standalone handheld device," explained Jonathan Bellwood, PeopleVox managing director. "Following extensive discussions with top retailers, we set out to provide the market with a lightweight, responsive and affordable reader that's fit for purpose in the retail environment and designed without compromise to function. As a result we can exceed that read rate target with ease." Rather than adapt an existing commercial product, PeopleVox chose to design the electronics content of the PVX-100 from the ground up and develop the operating system and application software to suit. A hybrid design of antenna is used - compared to the industry norm it is smaller and operates at approximately one quarter of the power level, offering a combination of weight- and energy-saving that allows more comfortable scanning and boosts typical battery life to a minimum of three hours, while still outperforming any other handheld RFID reader read rate. A joint project with Motorola, development of the PVX-Series was led by PeopleVox chief engineer Dr Andrew Dean, who in a previous role designed and implemented the world's largest commercial RFID retail solution for Marks & Spencer. "The exceptional read abilities of the PVX series are a result of pooling our combined knowledge and experience of RFID technology to boost accuracy and avoid cloaking, and taking into account the effects of aspects such as tag design and client processes," said Dean, who holds the world's first doctorate in RFID tag construction and application. "We are very excited to be in partnership with PeopleVox," commented Marco Landi, EMEA VP and general manager at Motorola. "The innovative PVX-series scanner range is the only RFID solution that brings accurate item level scanning to retailers. PeopleVox has developed a range of products that truly addresses the needs of fashion retailers and has strong potential for expansion into territories including Europe." The PVX-series readers are initially available directly from PeopleVox and are currently going to trial at several major high street retailers. |

Clients of PeopleVox now benefit from being able to log service calls and view all their assets online.
One client states that 'it is the first time a supplier has enabled us to view all the products we bought form them online, including all the facts on that product such as service cover and when the service agreements expire.' He goes on to add: 'We can also print off a detailed graphical report of how many calls we logged, which products have been the most problematic and most importantly we can track when they were fixed'. Andrew Dean of PeopleVox states: 'We chose the software as a service system, developed by OneServicePortal.com, due to the rapid deployment and the ability to track the service level performance versus the agreements with each client. It really acts as true differentiator and cuts cost out of our clients'form companies.' For further information on the system, please contact PeopleVox on 0844 800 6569 (local call rate) or email info@peoplevox.co.uk. |
