Event Registration Made EZ!

Category : Industry News , Software

January 6, 2019

urEZsignup-BizStrat2019After two years, urEZsignup will be spinning off to its own division.  This software began with a need for a non-profit event management system and was rolled out with an innovative admin login that integrated in real-time reports for common needs at events.  The check-in list, name badge creation and payment reports allow the event staff to easily manage check-in, follow ups, and more.  The event schedules and limits on workshops allow regrouping and consolidation to have a well-run event.  With the non-profit FlyTall, the group also benefits from the lower credit card processing rate as a non-profit entity serving youth in STEM and growth initiatives to prepare girls for careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

Partnering with Chicago Start-ups

Category : Uncategorized

6 December 2017

aa544936894301.572cf4292d888We enjoyed sharing with the Technori Live audience the details around our initiatives to work with Chicago Start-ups.  The right fit with a technology partner is especially important when it comes to start-ups where the capital to fund the idea to reality phase of a new innovative idea is more valuable than most.  When we took on TuttleView, the founder, Jaci Volles had an idea that was spectacular but hadn’t been able to find the right fit technology partner to bring it to life, this is where BizStrat Technology came in and shared the vision and had the technology team to make it a reality.

 

They have grown from 100 to 1000 products and from 20 to over 150 artisans across the United States.  A retail market place with chat, video and c-commerce all collided to bring the eSocial platform to the real world.  The concept can be applied to an everchanging world where the interactions face-to-face continue to be a stuggle where busy lives and immediate lifestyles have taken away our social interactions with friends and family.  Now the multi-tasker can have fun, catch up with family and shop/learn all in an hour or less.

Now that’s efficiency!

UI Labs hosted this event which included a student/teacher perspective and Leadership Perspective panels as well as three breakouts where brainstorming on the needs and methods to meet these growing expectations was tackled.
