New Phebi Software Makes It Possible For Any Organization To Easily Voice-Enable Its Website

Leave a comment


Retailers who adopt Phebi now can gain a fundamental competitive advantage within days and be prepared to do business via voice during the upcoming holiday season.


LONDON (PRWEB)

Phebi Inc. (Phebi), the leader in v-commerce, today announced a new release that enables people to search, and even purchase, items from websites using only their voice.

Retailers of all types make significant investments to get shoppers to their websites. But, due to slow, inaccurate, inaccessible, and broken search functions more than 3 of 10 ten product searches are in vain. This is especially an issue for industries such as automotive and real estate where purchase frequency is lower, and consumers do most of their pre-purchase research online rather than in person. Phebi’s accuracy-enhancing technology solves this problem while giving customers the option to shop by voice in an increasingly voice-first world.

With more than half of smartphone users already searching by voice and 65% of consumers 25 to 49 speaking to voice-enabled devices each day, it’s no surprise that voice commerce is expected to grow to $40B worldwide by 2022.

“Searching and shopping habits are changing more rapidly than most retailers realize,” said Mike Page, Phebi’s CEO. “People can use their smartphones to do almost anything with their voice, but once they get to most retailers’ websites, they have been forced to switch to typing to search for and purchase items. The new version of Phebi changes that – retailers who adopt Phebi now can gain a fundamental competitive advantage within days and be prepared to do business via voice during the upcoming holiday season.”

The highlights of Phebi’s feature-rich new release, which can be used to power mobile, desktop and in-app interactions include:


  • Instant search. Phebi search results populate as users type, without a page refresh.

  • Improved accuracy. Phebi’s contextual language modeling and automatic site indexing power better, faster search results.

  • Synonym and typo tolerance. Phebi understands what shoppers mean better than existing search solutions.

  • Lead generation. A built-in call-to-action capability invites consumers to connect with businesses (i.e. call me, text me, send me more information).

  • Real-time data. The Phebi dashboard illuminates opportunity by quantifying and displaying search trends.

  • Text search. Phebi now provides both voice and text-based search, enabling shoppers to talk when they want to talk and type when they want to type.

  • Support for people with disabilities. Phebi makes sites more accessible to the visually impaired as well as those who may struggle to use a traditional mouse and keyboard.

To learn more, or to request a demo, contact Phebi at info@getphebi.com.

  • Biologics

  • Pharmaceutical

  • Clinical Labs

  • Research and Development

Building Services will manage facility renovations for its clients thereby providing seamless modular/PODular cleanroom integration, mitigating risk and ensuring compliance so the client can focus on what matters most, patients.

For the G-CON team, it is all about helping our clients’ succeed,” said Maik Jornitz, CEO of G-CON. “G-CON Building Services is part of that effort. GCBS will make the design, build and integration of cleanroom infrastructures, including our well-known cleanroom PODs, more efficient and predictable.”

PAINWeekEnd in Seattle Offers CE/CME Education to Meet the Challenges of Opioid Prescribing Regulations

Leave a comment


News Image

As payer policies for treatment continue to evolve, it is important that providers take steps to stay current on the legal and regulatory environment that may affect their practice and their patients


MONTCLAIR, N.J. (PRWEB)

PAINWeekEnd on November 9 at the Grand Hyatt, 721 Pine Street in Seattle, Washington, will be a timely full day program providing busy clinicians and allied healthcare practitioners with 6.0 hours of relevant, practical instruction in the management of chronic pain.

Earlier this year, acting on a legislative mandate, the Washington State Medical Commission concluded a public comment and hearing process on proposed changes to the state’s opioid prescribing requirements for physicians and physician assistants. In a communication to its membership, the Washington State Medical Association sought support for its position that “…the WSMA remains concerned about the volume of administrative burden and liability these rules would place on physicians and physician assistants during the limited context of a patient encounter and the resulting impact on access to appropriate care. Senior faculty member Jennifer Bolen, JD, founder of The Legal Side of Pain, in Knoxville, Tennessee is a presenter. She observed, “As payer policies for treatment continue to evolve, it is important that providers take steps to stay current on the legal and regulatory environment that may affect their practice and their patients. To that end, I look forward to helping PAINWeekEnd attendees understand medical necessity for substance abuse treatment, drug testing, and prescribing controlled medications.” Attorney Bolen will present two courses at PAINWeekEnd: Get Your Specimens in Order: Timely Use of Test Results, and Embrace Changes and Prevent Overdose: A Basic Blueprint for Legal Risk Mitigation and Response.

Other courses to be offered at PAINWeekEnd Seattle include Nonopioid Analgesics: Antidepressants, Adjuvant Therapies, and Muscle Relaxants; Urine Drug Testing: A Patient Centered Approach; Cannabis vs Cannabinoids: The Politics of Medical Marijuana; and Rational Polypharmacy. Commercially supported activities—addressing a range of product, disease state, and medical information topics—will also be presented.

For more information about this or other regional conferences, and to register for $129, go to the https://www.painweek.org/conferences/painweekend/seattle-wa-2019-conference website. BONUS: PAINWeekEnd registrants may register for the 2020 PAINWeek National Conference, September 8-12, in Las Vegas, for $200 off the regular online published price.
