“With more and more customers conducting their shopping on their smartphones, having a high-performing mobile store is a priority for all online businesses. Our partnership with Sandbox Commerce makes that more feasible for our clients.” —Gonzalo Gil, 3dcart CEO

TARAMAC, Fla. (PRWEB)
October 02, 2019

3dcart, a leading eCommerce platform, announced today that their customers can now convert their stores into shopping applications through the platform’s partnership with Sandbox Commerce, an Austin, Texas-based software company. New and current clients will be able to integrate their online stores with Sandbox Commerce’s app builder, through which they can create apps that connect with their stores.

This connection extends to total synchronicity with the inventories of 3dcart stores. A store’s shopping app will accurately reflect product selection and availability. Store data is imported to allow easy drag-and-drop placement of marquees, collections, and featured items. This connection is possible because store owners must log into their 3dcart account with Sandbox Commerce before they can create an app.

“We couldn’t be more grateful to work with Sandbox Commerce,” said Gonzalo Gil, CEO of 3dcart. “With more and more customers conducting their shopping on their smartphones, having a high-performing mobile store is a priority for all online businesses. Our partnership with this company makes that more feasible for our clients.”

Another part of Sandbox Commerce’s services is their “Social” tier, which allows store owners to showcase images of their products through a curated Instagram feed. 3dcart clients can customize windows that can fit these Instagram posts into any app created through Sandbox Commerce, as well as their website and newsletter.

“This is a great opportunity to partner with a leader in the eCommerce space, and provide their customers a powerful platform to create an omni-channel shopping experience,” said Sterling Smith, Sandbox Commerce founder and CEO.

Building a Hyperconnected City

Our research shows that hyperconnected cities—ones that use technology to transform and interconnect their urban assets—generate demonstrable ROI for their economies, while providing enormous improvements in living and business conditions

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB)
October 01, 2019

Today, ESI ThoughtLab unveiled preliminary findings from its 2019 Smart City Research Initiative, Building a Hyperconnected City. The study of 100 worldwide metro centers found that most cities are seeing major economic, financial, and social benefits from their investments in smart technologies, but also greater cyber-risks, if digital innovation is not managed properly.

According to the study, 38% of cities deploying smart mobility solutions are bolstering customer satisfaction and 32% are improving productivity and delivery times for business. Likewise, 45% of cities deploying smart environmental and energy initiatives are improving citizen health, 44% are reducing pollution, and 43% are stabilizing energy prices.

The speed of technological change has been brisk. Public Wi-Fi, Internet of Things, cloud, and mobile technology are now pervasive across cities, used by more than 9 out of 10 them in our study. Other commonly used technologies include biometrics (83% of cities), AI (82%), and Blockchain (66%). Robots and drones, 5G, augmented reality, and distributed computing are promising new technologies, which are still in earlier stages of investment.

By using these technologies to transform and interconnect their urban ecosystem, government leaders aim to deliver a myriad of benefits to their stakeholders. These include creating new business opportunities, filling talent gaps, improving public health, reducing crime, boosting productivity and addressing income inequality. These benefits work together to deliver a virtuous circle of economic prosperity, business growth, and social well-being

The ROI on smart initiatives

These same smart programs also generate economic and financial gains that not only cover the cost of investment, but also provide tangible returns. Except for predictive policing, all 62 smart city initiatives studied showed positive investment returns. The smart city dimensions providing the largest gains include:

    Mobility and transportation: curb management (4.5%), congestion charging (4.3%)

    Energy and water: dynamic electricity pricing (4.8%), renewable energy (4.3%)

    Environment: optimizing waste collection (4.1%), real-time water quality monitoring (3.9%)

    Public safety: first aid alerts (5.6%), gunshot sensors (4.8%), real-time crime mapping (4.7%)

    Governance: digital business licensing (5%), digital payments (4.6%)

However, if not managed effectively, these smart initiatives can also expose urban areas to higher cyber risks. For cities in our survey, the total cost of cyber loss events over the last year averaged $3.4 million, with 10% suffering losses between $10m and $20m. Over half of the cities said that they were not well prepared for cyberattacks. The biggest vulnerabilities cited were financial and payment systems (54% of cities), IT infrastructure and telecoms (51%), and mobility and transportation (40%). To cope with rising cyber risks, 82% of cities plan to increase their cybersecurity budgets next year, 39% by more than 10%.

The study is based on a rigorous benchmarking survey conducted over the summer of 2019 by ESI ThoughtLab and a cross-industry coalition of sponsors, including Deloitte, Oracle, Stantec, Pennoni, Eaton Lighting, NTT Group, Nokia, Cognizant, Visa, and Microsoft. The sample consisted of 100 worldwide cities engaged in smart city initiatives. Cities varied in size from 123,000 to over 24 million residents and represented a range of income levels, regions, and stages of economic development.    

“Our research shows that hyperconnected cities—ones that use technology to transform and interconnect their urban assets—generate demonstrable ROI for their economies, while providing enormous improvements in living and business conditions,” said Lou Celi, CEO of ESI ThoughtLab and director of the study.    

Full findings from the study will be released in November at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona. More information can be found by visiting: https://econsultsolutions.com/esi-thoughtlab/hyperconnected-city/
