Imprint Enterprises Launches Mobile Customer Management/Check-In App

Imprint Enterprises, Inc., an Aurora-based supplier of barcode labeling supplies and software has announced a complete mobile customer management application called Catapult, which is part of the Slingshot family of mobile applications.

Aurora, IL (PRWEB) November 15, 2013

Imprint Enterprises created new mobile (Android) customer management/check-in solution called Catapult, for family entertainment facilities such as paintball parks, amusement parks, water parks, and essentially any facility with a ticket window. Catapult is a complete customer registration and management system in the cloud, including a ticket window app, mobile app, and all associated hardware and supplies as needed.

Catapult has already been implemented successfully in checking-in competitors at CPX Sports in Joliet, IL. CPX sought to expedite check-in for players, and realized a pre-registration process would offer more opportunity for players to check-in early. They also wanted to create a way for customers to check-in onsite beyond the ticket window.

Catapult allows CPX Sports to process admissions via a smart phone or tablet. Team members use the web-based Catapult to check-in players in line, and print a receipt on the spot with the Zebra MZ 220™ mobile receipt printer. Then, CPX uses the Zebra® HC100™ printer with Z-Band® Fun wristbands equipped with barcodes for electronic access into the park.

“Normally it would take us 20 hours to check in 2,000 players,” says Sean Scott at CPX Sports, “but with Catapult application and Zebra Mobile Receipt and Wristband printers we can do it in about 6 or 7.”

Get Portland Medical Marijuana Quickly from The Aurora Clinic

The Aurora Clinic is now offering pre-evaluations for Oregon medical marijuana cards over the telephone.

Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) November 15, 2013

The Aurora Clinic is making it easier than ever to obtain Portland medical marijuana cards for those suffering through a chronic illness by offering pre-authorizations over the telephone. The process of obtaining medical marijuana safely and responsibly is easier than ever now that The Aurora Clinic offers pre-qualifying interviews over the telephone. The Aurora Clinic has specialized in clinical pain management and medical marijuana since 2004; the Aurora Clinic is Oregon and Washington’s top provider of medical marijuana doctor evaluations.

The Aurora Clinic’s mission is to help patients minimize their dependence on prescription narcotics and to live healthy, productive lives, free from pain.

The Aurora Clinic does that by identifying individuals who could benefit from medical marijuana and providing the physical exam needed to make legal use of it for medicinal purposes. The Aurora Clinic is committed to the highest legal and ethical standards and operates in full compliance with state and federal law.

The Aurora Clinic has earned a reputation for efficient, skillful, professional service. What does that mean? It means The Aurora Clinic’s patients will also have their phone calls returned promptly. Patient’s medical records are kept safe and secure in compliance with the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Patients can expect their visit to last no longer than one hour, with all the patient’s paperwork ready to turn into the state and with all their questions answered.

QUALIFYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
“The evidence is overwhelming that marijuana can relieve certain types of pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms caused by such illnesses as multiple sclerosis, cancer and AIDS — or by the harsh drugs sometimes used to treat them. And it can do so with remarkable safety. Indeed, marijuana is less toxic than many of the drugs that physicians prescribe every day.”
—Joycelyn Elders, M.D., former Surgeon General under President Clinton

Medicinal hemp can be used to address a variety of symptoms associated with migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, degenerative joint or disk disease, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, osteoarthritis, chronic pain syndrome, multiple sclerosis and many other illnesses.

According to Oregon state law, these symptoms include:
Severe pain
Seizure
Nausea
Cachaxia (severe weight loss despite eating a healthy diet)
Muscle spasms
In addition, OMMP certification is legally available to anyone with:
Cancer
Glaucoma
HIV/AIDS
Alzheimer's

Traditional pain management programs often involve medication that is addictive or that demands a higher dose as tolerance increases. There can also be unpleasant side effects, such as nausea and constipation. It doesn't have to be that way. The way that The Aurora Clinic see it, marijuana can help a patient avoid all of that, serving as a gateway—off of harmful narcotics and into a healthier, more productive life.

In addition to being a healthy part of a pain management program, marijuana can provide relief from nausea, irritable bowel and a host of other ailments.

Steven Brown & Associates, Inc. bolsters its traditional fire pump lineup

East coast fire pump experts prove an enduring and dependable supplier of both the Fairbanks Nijuis and Aurora lines.

Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) November 18, 2013

Although Fairbanks Nijuis has changed names, (formerly Fairbanks Morse) its reliable Mid-Atlantic supplier, Wilmington-based Steven Brown & Associates, remains up to the task of supplying steady and quality fire pump sales and service. Two leading traditional fire pump brands, the newly revamped Fairbanks Nijuis and Aurora, are now both being distributed by Steven Brown & Associates. As fire pump industry names change and trends emerge, the 13 year tradition of exceptional products and service continues.

Most parts from the Fairbanks Morse brand name are still available, but are sold under the current name of Fairbanks Nijuis. While that could pose some confusion, Steven Brown & Associates remains an authorized parts supplier of the Fairbanks Morse line of fire pumps.

“One of our missions is to be a consistent and trusted supplier of products and service,” said President/CEO Steven Brown, “in order to do that we’ve really honed in on faithful customer service and a very dependable line of products and parts.” He concluded, “It’s with great pleasure to serve the region with the very best in fire pumps and their accessories.”

Steven Brown & Associates is an NFPA 20 compliant distributor of quality brands like Aurora, Fairbanks Nijuis, Croker and Cla-Val. With in-house technicians at the ready, service requests and installations can be fielded and executed quickly and conveniently. For the purpose of ongoing service and maintenance, the Steven Brown team has an extensive product inventory database to help identify and supply your fire pump parts needs.

Boasting over 50 years of combined experience in the industry, Steven Brown & Associates continues its pursuit of the highest quality service and parts. A frontrunner in the sprinkler industry, the team at Steven Brown & Associates serves contractors, consulting engineers and owners of fire protection systems with tact and expertise. It’s no surprise that both those close to the company and their clients refer to Steven Brown & Associates as “not your everyday fire pump distributor.” Reported by PRWeb 3 days ago.
