Saturday, June 13th, 2015


Broomfield, CO (PRWEB) June 02, 2015

ikeGPS (NZX:IKE) is pleased to introduce Reece Supply Company as its first U.S. sign industry reseller partner of Spike.

With Spike, sign makers can quickly capture accurate measurements of the width, height and area of signage locations from a Smartphone or Tablet picture. A ladder, bucket truck and tape measure are no longer required to create estimates, which saves sign companies time and cuts overhead costs on a traditionally lengthy process.

Sign makers can also save measurements on Spike and send dimensions via email to customers or designers to create proofs, assess installation and complete permit applications. If additional measurements are needed, sign makers can refer to their saved Spike photos at any time to make modifications. Theres no need to return to the site for further measurements or estimations.

As a Spike reseller, we can offer our customers a solution that will quickly improve how they conduct business today, says Sean Schultz, general manager of Reece Supply Company in Harahan, Louisiana. Our customers will find that they can streamline their estimating process with Spike, which inevitably saves on labor costs.

For more than 75 years, Reece Supply Company has offered sign shops many of the biggest brands in the industry, including 3M, Arlon, Epson America, GE, Gerber Scientific Products, Mimaki, SA International, Sloan LED and Ultraflex Systems. Reece Supply Company operates eight locations in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Georgia and North Carolina. Each location houses a large inventory of sign, screen and digital products, and local seminars are available to train and educate signage professionals on new products and techniques.

Were excited to partner with such a well-respected company in the signage industry, says Jeff Ross, chief marketing officer of ikeGPS. For decades, Reece Supply Company has provided sign makers with the industrys most innovative solutions. Reece is once again demonstrating its leadership by introducing Spike to its customers in an effort to help them reduce expenses and run more efficiently.

For live Spike demos, Reece Supply Company will showcase this measurement solution at the Texas Sign Association Annual Conference in Montgomery, Texas, June 9-13, and the Mid South Sign Association Meeting and Trade Show in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, July 23-25.

Commercial Refrigerator Manufacturing in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Sunday, October 26th, 2014


Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) July 23, 2014

Demand for commercial refrigerators and freezers has generally increased over the past five years. This has been driven by steady demand from supermarkets and convenience stores, as a large number of such retailers commenced operations or refurbished during these years. Food manufacturers and other final users, such as restaurants, cafes, hotels and clubs, also contributed to higher demand for industry goods. However, lower demand in some years resulted from client industries reducing expansion activities and increased competing import levels. Input prices for the Commercial Refrigerator Manufacturing industry have been mixed over the past five years, which has contributed to the small fluctuations in profit over this time. While steel prices have generally decreased in the five years through 2014-15, plastic and rubber input prices have increased in most years. IBISWorld industry analyst Alen Allday states The strong Australian dollar in the years through 2012-13 helped industry operators to reduce import costs for intermediate inputs, such as refrigerator and freezer components and compressors.

Industry revenue is expected to increase by 3.7% in 2014-15 to $ 273.8 million. This follows strong growth in 2013-14 as demand from supermarkets and other food retailers increased after a fall in the previous year. Overall, industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualised 0.5% in the five years through 2014-15 due to greater foreign competition, and some industry consolidation reducing output levels. This increased competition and wages growth have contributed to lower industry profit levels over the past five years. According to Allday, Over the next five years, industry revenue is forecast to increase at a stronger pace as demand for commercial refrigeration and freezer products steadily increases. Supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants and food manufacturing industries are all expected to grow at a solid rate over the five years through 2019-20.

The Commercial Refrigerator Manufacturing industry has a low level of market share concentration. Industry concentration has increased over the past five years as unprofitable refrigeration manufacturing companies exited the industry. Due to increasing import competition, particularly from SKOPE and the now New Zealand-based Austral Refrigeration, industry concentration is expected to increase in future years. More unprofitable manufacturers in the industry are expected to exit, leading to steady revenue growth for remaining firms. Major industry players include Moffat Group Pty Limited, Ice Blue Commercial Refrigeration and Bromic Pty Ltd.

Attention Mortgage Note Holders: Beware of the Bait & Switch when trying to sell your real estate notes says industry leader DICARO & ASSOCIATES, LLC.

Saturday, September 13th, 2014


Tampa, FL (PRWEB) September 09, 2014

Even though the United States is the greatest country for financial investment companies, it seems that there are always a few rotten apples that sours the cider whenever they interact with prospective note sellers who are looking to liquidate their real estate receivable for cash today.

Many prospective clients and mortgage note holders think they are interacting with a reputable company because their marketing material looks professional and the person they are speaking with has a pleasing personality. However, many note sellers are in for a rude awakening if they dont know how to ask the right questions and dont know how to identify the bogus offers when they are made.

These scheming companies know that most people looking to sell their real estate notes are just trying to get top dollar, but dont necessarily know what investment firms operating in the secondary market are realistically willing to pay. Instead of these shady companies taking the time to educate the note holders of the process of selling their mortgage note, they instead offer a ridiculously high price in order to contractually obligate the client and then change the offer to a much lower price weeks and even months later after theyve wasted precious time.

The reality is that no company can accurately give a solid purchase offer without 1) Reviewing the documents that were created in the original transaction, 2) Analyzing the background information of the party responsible for making the payments, including their FICO credit score and report, 3) Obtaining a property valuation, also known as a Brokers Price Opinion or Drive-by Appraisal report at the very least, and 4) Various other factors that are too many to list. To summarize, any company giving offers far and above their competitors, who have not verified items 1 4 above, is most likely operating a Bait & Switch scheme that will leave the note seller worse off than before they started.

If a company is making promises and claims, over the phone, without really taking a hard look at all of the specifics of the deal, then the person trying to sell a mortgage note should be prepared to endure a modification of the terms in the form of a lower offer that could cost them ten of thousands of dollars.

Reputable companies will never make claims or guarantees that some other companies will purport. As Senior Vice President of DICARO & ASSOCIATES, LLC, Nicholas di Caro says, We are not in the business of delivering inflated offers before verifying the variables in a note sale transaction. This practice is deceptive and can financially ruin prospective clients, especially when they are under a time deadline. Any good company will educate the note seller about how we determine the investment grade of each deal and the various ways that we can solve their financial problems

Nicholas di Caro is the Senior Vice President for DICARO & ASSOCIATES, LLC. Operating in all 50 states from their Chicago, Illinois location, they invest in performing and non-performing real estate notes from $ 5,000 to $ 5,000,000. They are actively buying privately held mortgage notes, deeds of trust, and land contracts secured by single family residences, mobile homes with land, and commercial properties. They have the ability to buy notes that other companies have denied, in addition to providing creative purchase options that are new to the industry.
