Leave a comment


“Alba has always provided a clear, consistent and resounding voice for supporting and empowering military women,” said Brig. Gen. (ret.) John I. Pray Jr., president and CEO of Operation Homefront. “Due to Alba’s unwavering support, Operation Homefront has been able to provide access to critical resources that ensure military women, and their families, can thrive in the communities they’ve worked so hard to protect.”

About Alba Baylin – Stakeholder and Social Impact Management, The Coca-Cola Company, North America Operating Unit

Alba Baylin is Vice President of Stakeholder and Social Impact Management, The Coca-Cola Company, North America Operating Unit. She has been with the company since 1999. She leads stakeholder partnerships, philanthropy strategy, community marketing and engagement, nonprofit board placement, employee volunteerism and disaster relief.

Alba has been instrumental in stewarding The Coca-Cola Foundation’s investments to help military women, by providing support to Operation Homefront’s Critical Financial Assistance program that provides mortgage and rent assistance, help with major home or car repairs, food assistance and more, including elevated support when the pandemic increased the pressures facing military families. In addition, the foundation invested in the organization’s three transitional housing villages, located near major military medical hospitals, which provide fully furnished apartments for wounded, ill, and injured service members with families to live rent-free while they go through the process of medically separating from the military.

With Alba’s support, The Coca-Cola Foundation has enabled Operation Homefront to relieve financial stress, address unique personal and family needs, strengthen a sense of community, and expand support networks for military women and their families. Alba was the catalyst behind the recent $200,000 grant to Operation Homefront, providing additional support for women veterans living in the organization’s transitional housing villages and for making possible the $500,000 partnership with BODYARMOR. She embodies The Coca-Cola Company’s purpose to refresh the world and make a difference, and the efforts from her team have truly supported the company’s vision to create a better shared future for the communities we call home.

Rush.app Enhances Order Tracking for E-Commerce Solution, Helps Stores Drive New Revenue Ahead of Holidays

Leave a comment


With the holiday season just around the corner and $1.3 trillion in expected consumer spending on the line, e-commerce stores are gearing up for a busy few months. However, with the ongoing supply chain disruptions and rising inflation, it’s more important than ever for stores to have a plan in place to ensure that they can meet the demands of their customers.

Since 30 percent of e-commerce revenue is derived from post-purchase upsells, fostering customer connections and automated engagements in the moments after buyers complete a purchase is key to year-round e-commerce success.

Rush.app is continuously innovating to help e-commerce brands meet the moment with features and solutions that elevate every customer touchpoint, providing:

  • Enhanced Upselling Opportunities: Introduce strategic upsells on order tracking pages and shipping update emails, optimizing the customer journey for increased revenue generation.
  • Precision Order Tracking: Offer real-time tracking support for over 1,300 carriers globally, ensuring customers have up-to-the-minute insights on their order’s location and delivery time. With new integrations to platforms like Yotpo SMSBump and Postscript, expanding order tracking and shipping updates capabilities.
  • Optimized Customer Flows: Seamlessly integrate Rush.app and Klaviyo to enhance and automate customer journeys, maximizing results for every visitor on your Shopify store.

While the amplified impact of post-purchase automation is directly proportional to the store’s size, Rush.app’s solution scales across large and specialized smaller stores, unlocking potential hidden revenue streams and further solidifying the customer relationship with the brand.

As the only order-tracking app awarded the “Built for Shopify” badge, Rush.app is already helping global e-commerce companies to achieve a 50x revenue-generating return and establish post-purchase order tracking, upselling, and shipping updates with its solution, allowing brands to focus on their core business.

“As holiday shopping becomes increasingly important for e-commerce companies looking to remain profitable throughout the year, capitalizing on the moments after customers hit the buy button is critical,” said Mario Peshev, CEO of Rush.app. “With the enhancements made to Rush.app, we’re not just offering a solution, but a strategic partnership for brands, ensuring they harness the full potential of post-purchase engagements and stay a step ahead in this crucial shopping season.”
