PX Launches Enhanced Feature Set For Publisher Monetization


PX, the leading platform for customer acquisition, today announced significant platform updates and a new application program interface, PX API Version 2.0, to drive efficiency for publishers. The updated API is one of a series of enhancements that enable more publishers to quickly and easily connect to the over 2,000 lead buying campaigns running on the PX platform.

The PX Open Exchange currently offers marketers high-quality leads from more than 500 publishers, ensuring complete transparency to the lead’s precise source so buyers can optimize spending to where they see the greatest ROI. The enhanced API and new features aim to attract more publishers into the programmatic marketplace. In addition, PX API Version 2.0 will enable lead buyers to more easily centralize activity and manage publisher relationships via PX Private Marketplaces.

“We’ve made it easier than ever before for our publisher partners to access the thousands of buyer campaigns running through us,” said Frans van Hulle, co-founder and CEO of PX. “Connecting forms or pages no longer requires a technical resource, and we’ve reduced their average integration time from sometimes more than a day to less than an hour. The result is that when a seller wants to find more buyers through PX, they don’t face a protracted integration. And when buyers ask their sources to run through PX, they’re asking for keystrokes, not the keys to the kingdom.”

PX is rolling out the series of features throughout Q1 2020 to empower publishers with many of the same tools and benefits that buyers get from the platform. They include a Source Performance Report, with detailed insights into how leads convert for the marketers buying them, creating opportunities to optimize and scale revenues. Later this month, a realtime dashboard and a new Offers Page will be introduced for managing activity through the platform.

“Our industry has been in need of an all-encompassing product that creates efficiency through centralization, faster setups, and a more uniform way of reporting as a whole,” commented Van Hulle. “With API Version 2.0, we’re proud to say that we’ve smoothed out another hurdle. We’re growing rapidly and to satisfy demand, the new API and additional functionality removes bottlenecks toward better results for buyers and sellers alike.”

Watch for Counterfeit Goods and Start Managing Risks Around Coronavirus


Daniel Stanton speaking at South Dakota Mines in 2019.

Any time that there are shortages of legitimate products in the marketplace, it creates an opportunity for counterfeiters.

The run on toilet paper, hand sanitizer and face masks at retail outlets around the nation is one example of the kind of supply chain disruption businesses need to prepare for as the coronavirus outbreak evolves.

The public fear around the coronavirus is coupled with the closing of factories and ports at major manufacturing centers around the world. The resulting supply chain disruptions have sent a shock wave through markets. All of this is leading to significant uncertainty for investors, managers and owners.

Daniel Stanton, author of the book Supply Chain Management For Dummies, is an entrepreneur in residence at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. He says it’s never too late to start managing risks.

“Right now, every manufacturer, distributor, retailer and logistics company should have a rapid response team in place that is monitoring the news and keeping track of their supply chain. These folks need to connect the dots quickly to identify how the coronavirus is evolving and respond in ways that minimize the impact to your supply chain,” he says.

Stanton says business owners and managers should strive to get one step ahead of the evolving situation.

“I think too many leaders are taking a ‘wait and see’ approach, instead of responding proactively. Yes, there are a lot of unanswered questions. But there are also a lot of things that we’re pretty sure about, such as how the disease is being spread. We also know it is going to get worse before it gets better,” says Stanton. “The good news is that most companies have a lot more inventory in their supply chains than they realize, and this acts as a shock absorber when there’s a short disruption. But the longer that the coronavirus outbreak goes, the more likely we are to start seeing shortages of all kinds of products. Small companies in particular are going to run into financial difficulties if their cashflow is disrupted for a long time.”

Stanton is the company president and cofounder of SecureMarking, Inc. His business provides a powerful new tool for manufacturers, distributors and their customers to combat the growing threat of counterfeit, black market and grey market products in global supply chains. The technology behind SecureMarking Inc. was developed at South Dakota Mines.

Stanton says the supply chain disruption opens the door for more counterfeit goods. This doesn’t just mean brand name items. It could also threaten important safety components inside the electronic goods we use every day.

“Any time that there are shortages of legitimate products in the marketplace, it creates an opportunity for counterfeiters,” says Stanton. “Companies become desperate to fill orders and may “relax” their procurement rules and quality standards. That creates the risk of contaminating the entire supply chain with fake and low-quality materials, which can do even more damage than the original disruption.”

For average consumers, this also means uncertainty. Stanton says the public often takes supply chains for granted.

“People don’t realize where the things we buy come from, and how many people are involved in the process,” says Stanton. “When there’s a disruption that prevents people from coming to work, sooner or later that gets felt by their customers — the folks downstream in the supply chain. But it also gets felt by their suppliers — the folks upstream in the supply chain. Because if your customer isn’t making and selling their own products, then they aren’t going to buy materials from you, either.”

Stanton, PMP, CSCP, SCPro, MCSE, MCP, MBA, M Eng, is a global executive with expertise in supply chain management and project leadership. He has worked with Caterpillar, the U.S. Navy, APICS (now ASCM), MHI and several smaller firms. He is an alumnus of South Dakota Mines and has also been a professor at Bradley University, Jack Welch Management Institute and National American University. Stanton is recognized as a LinkedIn Learning Insider, a “Pro to Know” for Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine and a Supply Chain Futurist for IBM Sterling Supply Chain.

How To Get Useful Online Car Insurance Quotes


News Image

“Online car insurance quotes will help you get the best deals on the market. Spend several minutes completing online questionnaires and you can potentially save hundreds of dollars”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

No driver should undermine the importance of obtaining and comparing car insurance quotes. Comparison shopping becomes even more important for high-risk drivers or if the renewal premiums are too high. Find out more about auto insurance and get free quotes from https://compare-autoinsurance.org/


  • First, determine which policies are recommended for the vehicle. The first thing every driver should do is to research more on the vehicle. Find out safety ratings and scores, installed and recommended safety and tracking devices. The type of vehicle and its purpose (commercial or personal) are 2 important factors. A commercial policy is totally different from a personal vehicle plan. They cover different aspects and have different coverage limits. Plus, different exclusions.
  • Check top rated car insurance companies. Every driver wants to sign a contract with a reliable insurer. Look for consumer review webpages, official statistics (especially complaint ratio) and make a list with the top companies. We recommend clients to use J.D. Power’s 2018 Auto Claims Satisfaction Reports, Insure.com’s Best Car Insurance Companies for 2018, and Consumer Reports’ 2017 Car Insurance Ratings to check the companies with the best satisfaction ratings. Websites like Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, Fitch, and A.M. Best will help drivers identify companies with good financial strength. Select companies that have really good financial and satisfaction ratings.
  • Work with top brokerage websites. Car insurance brokerage websites also provide top quality quotes. Again, it is all a matter of working with the best. The first search results of any search engine are usually the most relevant ones,
  • Use extended online questionnaires. It is important to work with websites that provide lengthy questionnaires, usually divided in several categories (car make and model, driving history, insurance preferences, discounts). They will provide accurate quotes and will help drivers customize an affordable policy.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

News Image

“The ABA’s endorsement of how we do business is a testament to our team’s consummate professionalism, hard work, and commitment,” said David Shoemaker, managing consultant for NFP’s Executive Benefits division.

NFP, a leading insurance broker and consultant that provides property and casualty (P&C), corporate benefits, retirement, and individual solutions, announced that it has received the American Bankers Association’s (ABA) exclusive endorsement for Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) and Executive Benefits. The endorsement, previously awarded to Equias Alliance, is being transferred to NFP as a result of NFP’s acquisition of Equias.

The ABA endorsement distinguishes solutions that are comprehensive, rigorous and best-in-class for a range of banking institutions. In particular, ABA found Equias’ in-house administration services and strong technical expertise to be exemplary and ranked them first in several key categories, including number of BOLI placements and nonqualified plans designed, client satisfaction, and administration service professional experience.

After transitioning Equias’ benefit and BOLI portfolio service capabilities and highly experienced consultants into the organization over the past two years, NFP now serves 1,250 banks, making it the nation’s largest provider of BOLI services, including benefits and regulatory compliance support.

“ABA endorsed NFP after reviews showed they attained the highest ratings on plan strategies and design, administration, and customer service. Their expertise in BOLI and executive benefits continues to add great value and expertise to our members in this market,” said Jim Edrington, EVP & Chief Member Engagement Officer at ABA.

“We’re honored to have this prestigious endorsement and recognition from the American Bankers Association,” said Joe Carpenter, president of NFP’s Executive Benefits division. “Day in and day out, we work tirelessly on behalf of our clients to ensure they receive personalized life insurance and executive benefits solutions that advance their growth and success. I’m immensely proud of our team, including everything Equias has brought to NFP.”

“We know banks need to provide a competitive, cost effective suite of employee benefits, and our ability to meet this need remains at the forefront of the industry. The executive benefits solutions we create ensure long-term financial stability and help our clients attract and retain top talent, both of which enhance their long-term financial results. The ABA’s endorsement of how we do business is a testament to our team’s consummate professionalism, hard work, and commitment,” said David Shoemaker, managing consultant for NFP’s Executive Benefits division.

How To Get Affordable Insurance Premiums


News Image

“Car insurance costs can be lowered, when using the right strategies. Visit our website to find out more ways to reduce auto insurance costs”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Auto insurance is an important service for any driver. It provides financial support when the policyholder is faced with car repairs costs or medical treatment bills. In order to get access to these benefits, drivers must invest a considerable amount of money. Use car insurance quotes, provided by https://compare-autoinsurance.org, to track the most beneficial offers.

Car insurance costs are influenced by multiple factors. Some of these factors are under policyholder’s control. These are the best ways to save on car insurance:


  • Increase deductibles. Asking for a higher deductible will reduce the overall cost. Collision and comprehensive car insurance require deductibles. Depending on their levels, the premiums will be calculated. Higher deductibles mean cheaper premiums. However, do not select the highest levels if the sum cannot be paid at any given moment. Deductibles usually range between $250 -$1000.
  • Avoid buying PIP or Medicare coverage, unless required. Buying PIP and Medicare car coverage is not crucial if the policyholder has a solid health insurance plan. Buy online the minimum PIP/Medicare if required by the state.
  • Ask insurance representatives to provide a list of available discounts. Each insurance company has a series of discounts to offer. Ask an insurance agent or customer support to provide a list of available discounts and requirements for each of them. The most common discounts include low mileage, safety gear, multi-car insurance, loyalty, and no-claim bonus.
  • Make sure that the insurer is notified about major life changes. The insurance company may not be informed that some major aspects in the client’s life have changed. Marital status, workplace, and retirement are very influential for insurance premiums.
  • Pay for the whole coverage term in advance. The cost of paying for the entire policy in a single turn is usually cheaper than paying monthly premiums. Keep in mind that this will also save the insurance company money since they do not have to pay certain administrative costs monthly.
  • Consider a car’s safety rating before purchasing it. It is recommended to check the top safety picks list every year, before making a purchase. Look for family cars that are considered really safe. They are the cheapest and easier to insure.
  • Stay loyal to one company. Being a loyal customer has its benefits. Reputable companies offer numerous incentives, like access to special offers or loyalty discounts. With so many temptations to change carriers, having a pool of loyal customers has become essential for all companies. Ask the current provider more info about this discount (when can be obtained, its value and availability period).
  • Use a safe sport to park the car overnight. With so many thieves and rioters around, the place where the car is parked will influence the insurance costs. It is recommended to park the car in a garage or a well-monitored parking lot.

Nexus Launches an Enhanced Online Supplier Platform


Nexus, a leader in procure-to-pay software for the real estate industry, has launched an enhanced online supplier platform, NexusConnect, making it easier for fully vetted suppliers to transact electronically and securely with their connected buyers.

Using the NexusConnect platform, suppliers can submit invoices to Nexus customers, manage insurance documentation and purchase orders, as well as track their payments from buyers who use NexusPayments – all with just a few clicks.

Buyers, meanwhile, gain peace of mind knowing that suppliers are fully vetted – and are who they say they are – before they are allowed to connect and transact through the platform.

“We built the enhanced NexusConnect platform with feedback from both our buyers and suppliers, keeping everything they liked, while improving overall usability and increasing security and vetting,” said Jennifer Coolidge, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Nexus. “More features and functionality are coming shortly, too.”

Unlike other industries, real estate companies often receive thousands of invoices each month. They also do business with anywhere from 2,500 to 28,000 suppliers, ranging in size from one-person landscaping firms to Fortune 500 companies, according to Nexus data. For this reason, the NexusConnect platform was upgraded to include multiple security enhancements, including automatic identity verification checks.

NexusConnect automatically validates a supplier’s company name, TIN, address, and contact information before they are allowed to connect with buyers and send them invoices. Should a supplier’s information not match up, a warning message pops up on the screen.

Suppliers’ information is also automatically checked against the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list to verify that suppliers aren’t on a terrorist watch list.

“Thanks to 20 years of focusing on the real-estate space, we understand exactly what real-estate buyers and suppliers need to transact easily,” Coolidge said. “In fact, we have built an extensive and intelligent database that matches real-estate related suppliers with buyers. With this artificial intelligence and connectivity, we’ll be able to offer even more types of frictionless transactions.”

NexusConnect is integrated with NexusPayables, a highly configurable software application that allows buyers to purchase goods and services from approved suppliers, view the budgeted amounts for those selected purchases, convert their purchase orders to invoices, and then submit the invoices for approvals and payment – all electronically.

The platform also enables NexusPayments, an automated payment solution wherein Nexus pays suppliers using virtual cards, ACH, or checks.

Nexus’s Chief Product & Technology Officer, Julio Palacio, remarked “we not only wanted a secure platform with an intuitive and clean interface, we also wanted it to leverage the best and most scalable technology stack available.” NexusConnect is built on AWS and Kubernetes, the foundational technology in Nexus’s Cloud-Native Architecture. It has built-in health checks, retry, circuit-breakers, and auto-scaling capabilities that improve system resilience. It also utilizes AWS availability zones, auto-scaling groups, and load balancer to strengthen availability and recoverability. Lastly, the platform’s Microservices application architecture allows different teams to work on different parts of the system concurrently without affecting one another, allowing Nexus’s systems to evolve in lock step with business growth.

About Nexus

With Nexus Procure-to-Pay software, real estate companies can manage every aspect of the accounts payable process – from purchase through payments – with just a few clicks. The web-based platform automates manual AP tasks and provides complete visibility into suppliers, budgets, and spend. No more paper, wasted time, nor guesswork. Nexus makes it easy to maintain and expand the supplier relationships at the heart of the real estate business. Visit http://www.Nexussystems.com.

How To Compare Multiple Car Insurance Online Offers


News Image

“To obtain a better insurance deal, drivers are recommended to compare multiple online quotes. Brokerage websites are ideal to finish this task faster”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how drivers should compare multiple car insurance quotes.

For more info and free quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-compare-multiple-car-insurance-offers-online/

Drivers that are looking for car insurance policies that are suitable for their needs, should know that the old method of going from one insurance agency to another in order to obtain quotes is no longer the preferred method to obtain quotes. Now, with the help of the internet, drivers can easily obtain car insurance quotes in a fast manner.

To obtain better car insurance deals, drivers should follow the next tips when they are comparing multiple quotes:


  • Compare the same insurance policies. Drivers should select the same coverage levels, options, add-ons, and the same limits when they are comparing multiple insurance quotes from different websites.
  • Provide the same details on all quotes. Most online forms will ask the same data about the car make, type, model, year of production, installed safety devices, etc. Also, drivers will be required to complete personal data about themselves and their driving history.
  • Be honest. Many persons will try to hide the negative aspects of their profiles in order to pay less on their insurance. Negative aspects like traffic tickets, at-fault accidents, and even drunk driving incidents will increase the costs of insurance. But lying about them can have severe consequences. In many cases, insurance companies decided to cancel the policies of the lying drivers.
  • Look for different discounts. It is known that insurance companies offer many different discounts. Drivers can contact their insurers and ask them to provide a list of available discounts. Some of the most common discounts are the low-mileage discount, good driver discount, installed safety devices discount, bundled policies discount, and loyalty discount.
  • Compare multiple online quotes. Drivers should compare several quotes in order to have a better view of how their car insurance policy might look like.

These four software companies, among others, chose ARPR for its understanding of the inbound marketing landscape and the agency’s Panorama Approach, which tightly integrates traditional public relations, social media, content marketing and lead generation to drive measurable results.

“Tech companies are demanding tighter alignment between PR, marketing and sales, and our growth proves that ARPR has a unique advantage in meeting this need and measuring success,” said Renee Spurlin, ARPR’s senior vice president of digital marketing and analytics. “Adding Ben to the team helps us fuel that advantage even further.”
