About The Customer
Snagajob is a digital job board that connects businesses with a wide pool of applicants across various industries and locations. The platform is used by workers with experience in industries like retail, restaurants, and hospitality, and ranges widely in age and digital literacy. The users vary in the kind of work they're looking for, from full-time positions with benefits to part-time and gig opportunities to supplement other income. The platform is also used by businesses and employers who rely on the service to find the right applicants. Snagajob's mission is to drive natural connections between workers and employers as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The Challenge
Snagajob, a digital job board, was facing a significant challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform, which connects businesses with a wide pool of applicants, was struggling to facilitate the hiring process under the constraints of the pandemic. The traditional mass hiring events were no longer feasible due to safety concerns. Moreover, the platform was dealing with an influx of candidates who weren't the right fit for the jobs, leading to wasted time for businesses in sorting, declining, and following up. The challenge was not only on the part of businesses but also on the part of applicants who were tired of application black holes. The team at Snagajob needed to find an innovative way to bridge the gap between qualified candidates and businesses looking to hire them, while ensuring the process was safe and efficient.
The Solution
In response to the challenge, Snagajob used Twilio Video to create a virtual platform that could effectively replace traditional mass hiring events. The platform was designed to connect qualified candidates to the right opportunities with far less friction than a traditional application process. The solution was built to be simple and reliable, facilitating interviews at scale. The integration of Twilio Video into the existing platform was crucial to ensure ease of use for the applicants and employers. The solution did not require external app downloads or installations, making the process faster and less complicated for users. The platform also adopted SMS for everything from interview reminders for candidates to notifying employers when they have new applicants. The solution allowed employers to set aside a single, convenient time to get their hiring done, saving precious time they needed to effectively run their business.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
