Merchant Advisory Services Sponsors Mobile Payments Conference MPC2023

Leave a comment


“As a returning sponsor and boutique provider, it’s an honor to be among the organizations participating in MPC23,” said JP Biamby, CEO of Merchant Advisory Services. “Our goal is always to provide the best credit card processing for small businesses and this conference is an excellent opportunity to showcase our new mobile app.”

With credit card processing fees being among the highest expenses across industries for businesses that accept card payments, Merchant Advisory Services takes a consultative approach to identifying and implementing cost-cutting solutions for businesses. By combining artificial intelligence with federal legislation data, the company can precisely identify opportunities, like ensuring that businesses are getting the full benefit of legislation such as the Durbin Amendment, a governmental mandate that lowers the rate for debit card transactions.

At MPC23, Merchant Advisory Services & JP Biamby will be on hand to discuss how businesses can receive a customized savings quote which includes a comparative analysis of their credit card transactions and recommended options to lower their rates and fees. Some of the company’s current and conference-specific promotions include a free equipment upgrade with any approved merchant account and a complimentary eCommerce website when businesses are approved for a merchant account.

Using their unique bootstrapping approach, which relies on earned referrals rather than advertising expenses, Merchant Advisory Services also passes on additional savings to clients due to low overhead. While the company is focused on driving economic stability for small business owners through cheaper credit card processing, they also prioritize customer service and provide all merchants with personalized technical support and their “The Customer Is Always Right” guarantee of premium service.

“The upcoming MPC23 conference is an excellent opportunity to engage with the Merchant Advisory Services team and see how we can offer better credit card processing fees, allowing you to scale faster,” added Biamby. “Connect with us by following ‘Merchant Advisory Services’

Bruviti Launches AI-Powered Triage for Home- and Extended-Warranty Providers

Leave a comment


“For every inbound support request from a homeowner, warranty providers must instantly diagnose that specific technical problem and determine the shortest path to resolution while minimizing cost. Meanwhile, the network of servicers that provide onsite repair need actionable information to maximize first-time fix rates,” said Andy Chinmulgund, co-founder and CEO of Bruviti. “Our new Bruviti Home Repair AI solution applies recent advances in generative AI to instantly diagnose technical problems associated with all major home appliances and systems, and then recommend the optimum course of action and parts needed to fix that problem.”

Bruviti Home Repair AI is compatible with leading enterprise service-management platforms and can be deployed as a standalone application or built into existing enterprise systems to:

  1. Deliver a front-line support experience that helps consumers troubleshoot technical issues without agent intervention using a conversational, AI-powered chat assistant. The chatbot provides personalized interactions and rapid self-service issue identification and resolution.
  2. Equip contact center agents with intelligent decision trees, contextual search capabilities, and relevant product information (such as manuals, videos, technical resources) — including step-by-step guidance, proven resolutions, and prediction of parts needed for repair.
  3. Deliver warranty administrators the insights they need to control repair authorization and cost, and to ensure their respective servicer networks can maximize first-time fix rates.
  4. Derive ongoing insights into warranty service issues and take rapid action to efficiently resolve them and control repair authorization and cost.

“Bruviti’s triage capabilities are critical in enabling our customers to troubleshoot and diagnose issues more quickly,” said Kippy MacNulty, vice president of business development for Marcone Supply. “In the long run, this means warranty administrators and servicers can boost profitability with improved parts management and first-time fix rates.”

Bruviti Service AI: built for secure application in the field
The Bruviti Service AI platform is a highly specialized generative AI trained on a massive dataset of service records, manuals, chat and video transcripts, and parts data. Bruviti Service AI utilizes advanced machine-learning algorithms and natural-language processing to instantly determine fault symptoms, learn contextual diagnosis-fix patterns, and deliver accurate ‘resolution intelligence’ tailored to the specific needs of field service teams. Bruviti Service AI’s built-in security layer ensures that all customer data is protected and accessible only by authenticated users.

Dynamic Educators First Opens One-of-a-Kind Training Program for Related Services Educators to Become Independent Contractors and Agency Owners; Unveils Award

Leave a comment


Miguel Salinas, co-founder of Dynamic Educators First, said, “DEF’s new training program represents a groundbreaking opportunity for educators to embrace independence and thrive as elite contractors. Our comprehensive curriculum equips practitioners with the tools they need to build their own agencies while achieving their dreams of financial freedom and professional fulfillment.”

The DEF EDUpreneur Blueprint begins with “What is Your Why?” where participants establish a strong foundation for their journey as independent educators, recognize the scarcity of educational professionals, and explore the differences between district employees and independent practitioners. Subsequent weeks cover essential topics such as building a business foundation, utilizing the SEMI-analysis approach for self-awareness and team building, establishing a strong brand identity, navigating business finances, and expanding from an independent elite contractor to an agency owner.

There has been a significant shortage of related services educators such as school psychologists, social workers, and speech pathologists in the US for several years. The National Association of School Psychologists recommends “A ratio of one school psychologist per 500 students in order to provide comprehensive school psychological services. Current data estimates a national ratio of 1:1211; however, great variability exists among states, with some states approaching a ratio of 1:5000.”

Independent contractors in education’s related services help to improve this ratio as they can serve more students, families, and communities than their district employee counterparts. They also do this with less stress and significantly higher financial compensation, improving their quality of life and giving them more time to spend with their families.

As part of DEF’s commitment to recognizing and celebrating the dedication of educators, they are unveiling the “Heart Award.” This prestigious award honors school psychologists and social workers who demonstrate selfless commitment while nurturing young minds, fostering resilience, and making a positive impact on students and communities.

“The Heart Award is a testament to the dedication of school psychologists and social workers who go above and beyond to support and uplift their students,” said DEF Co-founder Damo Jelani. “We are excited to honor these distinguished educators who play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our communities.”

The award winner will receive a $400 gift card, an engraved award, and a gift basket. Nominations for this award are now open and being accepted here. DEF seeks nominations from educators, parents, students, and the community for a school psychologist or social worker they believe deserves this award.

About Dynamic Educators First

Dynamic Educators First, founded by Miguel Salinas and Damo Jelani, is a business consulting firm that trains professionals in education’s related services field to revolutionize their careers as independent contractors, gaining financial freedom and unparalleled flexibility in their work. Their flagship program, DEF EDUpreneur Blueprint, includes weekly virtual classes, detailed instructions, coaching, and mentorship as participants also learn to become owners of their own educational agency.
