Marketplacer Helps FINN Give Refurbished Electronics A Second Life

Marketplacer

Marketplacer, a global technology platform that enables brands, retailers, suppliers, communities, and innovators to build and grow successful online marketplaces at scale, is proud to announce today that one of the most well-known brands in Norway - FINN - is experiencing record growth on its new Marketplacer-powered e-commerce site for used smartphones and accessories, FINN Nybrukt. Based in Oslo, Norway, FINN is the country’s largest online marketplace, allowing consumers to purchase anything from cars to houses to general merchandise. In February 2023, the company expanded these offerings with the launch of FINN Nybrukt, a new e-commerce marketplace for used smartphones and accessories, where buyers can choose from a variety of pre-owned, refurbished phones, and sellers can help their used phones find a second “life” and avoid the landfill, which is a key mission for FINN. Essentially functioning as a boot-strapping startup within the larger Schibsted family of brands, the team at FINN considered building an e-commerce platform on its own. Instead, the team decided that its business objectives would be better served by choosing a technology partner that it could collaborate with in order to meet its business objectives. FINN chose Marketplacer because the company’s fast, flexible and easily-scalable marketplace platform technology aligned perfectly with FINN’s accelerated time-to-market target. “FINN was already a household name in Norway, but what the team was looking to do with FINN Nybrukt was a new adventure,” said Marketplacer CEO and Co-Founder Jason Wyatt. “We have a deep understanding of the different needs and approaches start-ups have compared to their more established corporate counterparts. FINN knows how to sell almost anything and we know how to create the infrastructure to make it happen and how to make it happen fast.” Ultimately, FINN was able to launch its new Marketplacer-powered e-commerce platform in less than six months and the site continues to experience a tremendous uptick in interest over the first few months of operations. In fact, while July is traditionally a slow month for sales in Norway, FINN Nybrukt saw an all-time high in sales. “We are always looking for new business models for marketplaces and the demand for refurbished electronics is hot,” according to Emilie Høstmark, team lead for refurbished electronics at FINN/Schibsted’s Nordic Marketplaces division. “Since so many people have used electronics, giving them a simple way to re-circulate them not only makes economic sense, but also helps the environment by reducing e-waste. The partnership also enables us to scale and expand into other countries across the region which was a key consideration for us.” Following the success of its refurbished smartphones marketplace, FINN plans to expand into additional categories, including tablets, smartwatches and AirPods, with the potential to further expand into gaming equipment and more. The company is also looking to expand geographically, leveraging its sister marketplaces across the Nordic region. The FINN Nybrukt marketplace is live and interested sellers in the Nordics can find more information here. About Marketplacer Marketplacer is a global technology Software as a Service (SaaS) platform equipped with all the tools and functionality needed to build successful and scalable online marketplaces, at speed. To date, Marketplacer has helped build and deploy over 100 Marketplaces connecting over 13,000 businesses worldwide. The Marketplacer platform exists to make growth simple, from implementing marketplace strategies such as shipment from drop-ship sellers, adding new categories or third-party range extension, through to consolidating markets and rolling out modern revenue models such as recurring memberships that allow businesses to grow faster and beyond the constraints of capital inventory. Born and bred from the award-winning BikeExchange, the biggest online marketplace for anything and everything bike, founders Jason Wyatt and Sam Salter saw the opportunity to license the online software platform and apply it to new marketplaces. Marketplacer is responsible for the creation of online e-commerce solutions and business transformations of companies around the world. Visit www.marketplacer.com for more information. About FINN FINN.no is Norway's largest online marketplace with almost 500 employees and was founded in 2000. Ever since, FINN has gained enormous popularity among Norwegians, its reputation is one of Norway's strongest and almost every Norwegian has a relationship with FINN. Every year Norwegians spend an average of almost 33 hours on FINN.no. and more than 14 million ads are published. FINN has the #1 position in the markets they are in and connects millions of buyers and sellers. Whether it is to buy or sell products, looking for a house or a new job, browse cars or boats, or dreaming of the next holiday - FINN offers the opportunity to realize dreams and make sustainable choices. As part of Schibsted Nordic Marketplaces, which consists of strong, local marketplaces across the Nordics, FINN also has a cross-Nordic perspective and view.

Trust Stamp announces company has been issued its 18th US patent

T Stamp Inc

Trust Stamp CTO Scott Francis joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share important patent-related news. The company has recently received a Notice of Issuance from the US Patent Office, along with a Notice of Allowance, for two patents titled "Systems and Processes for Lossy Biometric Representation." These patents represent a significant addition to Trust Stamp's intellectual property portfolio and mark the eighteenth and nineteenth patents issued to the company. In addition to these issued patents, Trust Stamp has twelve patent applications currently pending. The core focus of these patents is to expand Trust Stamp's technology related to the tokenization of biometric data. Tokenization is a process that converts sensitive data, such as biometric information, into a non-sensitive equivalent while retaining its original meaning and utility. This approach allows for secure storage and processing of biometric data without exposing it to unnecessary risks. Francis emphasized the growing awareness among regulators, consumers, and enterprises regarding the risks associated with AI decision-making tools and the storage of biometric images and templates. Trust Stamp's proprietary tokenization technology offers a solution that addresses these concerns. By utilizing tokenization, Trust Stamp can safeguard biometric data while extending its usefulness. This development is significant in the broader context of data security and privacy. With the increasing reliance on biometric data for various applications, including identity verification and authentication, ensuring the protection and responsible handling of this sensitive information is paramount. Trust Stamp's ongoing work in biometric tokenization aligns with the evolving landscape of data protection and privacy regulations, providing a safer and more secure approach to managing biometric data.

Cybersecurity Tech Company Sekur Reports Increased Traffic And Conversion Rates After Launching Revamped Website

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga This month, Sekur Private Data (OTCQB: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR (FRA: GDT0) announced the launch of its updated website, featuring all new product pages for its leading secure and private communications solutions: SekurVPN, SekurMessenger and SekurMail. The move is part of Sekur’s larger 2023 strategy to increase sales by growing brand awareness and driving more traffic to their site. “We are now seeing the beginnings of the strategy bearing fruit and are very encouraged to stick to our strategy,” said Sekur CEO Alain Ghai. “Our site visits are increasing, and our conversion rate is increasing as well.” The Revamped Website Better Showcases The Security And Privacy Features Of Each Sekur Solution The new website provides dedicated pages for each of Sekur’s major security and privacy solutions, giving consumers better information on how each solution works and what separates it from other products on the market. SekurVPN, for example, offers the world’s first commercially available Swiss-hosted, data mining-free, non-bigtech hosted, private encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs) on the market. Where other providers often rely on third-party hosting or bundle their VPN service with third-party add-ons like anti-virus software or ad blockers, therefore sharing users’ data with third-party service providers, Sekur’s VPN solution is truly private. It’s hosted exclusively on Sekur’s own Swiss-based servers and doesn’t tack on any third-party services. That exclusivity is key in a market where data mining and data leaks are serious issues. While VPNs are meant to protect a users’ data, some VPN providers, including a Meta (NASDAQ: META) subsidiary that was fined $20 million earlier this year, have been caught tracking browsing history and sharing other sensitive data that users thought they were keeping protected by using the VPN. Even when the VPN provider itself isn’t data mining, those third-party services that get bundled with the VPN might. This can make it challenging to truly guarantee a secure and private connection. By leaving out the add-on services and relying only on its own data servers, Sekur is able to guarantee users that their traffic and other data are not being monitored, logged or shared. Launched in April, the new SekurVPN service adds to the company’s portfolio of successful services including SekurMail and SekurMessenger. Both are also hosted entirely on Sekur’s Swiss-based servers to ensure no Big Tech or other third-party companies have access to that data. SekurMessenger is a mobile messaging app that offers multilayer encrypted messaging and the ability to communicate securely and privately even with people who don’t have the app. No phone number or other identifying information is required to register, and an optional self-destruct feature lets you program your messages to automatically self-destruct after a specified amount of time. An enterprise version is coming in Q4, offering mass onboarding and archiving of employees’ data for compliance purposes and the possibility of creating a complete private intra-company messenger service. SekurMail is a similar service but for email, giving your emails the same multilayer encryption and data privacy as the messenger app. Users can add password protection to individual emails so that only those with the password can read the email. It also offers a similar self-destruct option that can be programmed to delete the email after a certain expiration date or to delete it once it’s been opened a certain number of times. An enterprise version is also coming in Q4, offering mass onboarding and other email protections for C-level executives and management staff. Looking ahead, Sekur said it plans to market all its solutions to the 30 million small businesses and enterprises across the United States, starting with a series of digital marketing campaigns slated to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
