With locations in Miami and Colombia, Gems Group is a team of dedicated professionals with a passion for marketing fresh cut flowers that are sold throughout the United States at fine grocery retailers.

Specializing in assisting U.S.-based companies with divisions and operations in Latin America purchase and implement ERP solutions, Southeast Computers Solutions President Sonia Ferrera said that Gems Group selected Sage ERP X3 because it immediately provides them with a web-enabled, feature rich, and Spanish language software (Sage ERP X3 supports multiple languages).

The open technology design of Sage ERP X3 provides full independence between the functional and the technical layer. End users may access the system via the web while the data server can take advantage of Microsoft SQL Server database – this was important to Gems as they have the ability to integrate Sage ERP X3 with other SQL-based applications.

Gems will also use the user-defined dashboards of Sage ERP X3 to provide up-to-the-minute graphical representations of key business data.

Forecasting, which previously was done on spreadsheets calculated outside of their ERP system, is now automated with Sage ERP X3 saving time, reducing errors and using sales history information directly from the system. Accurately forecasting sales is crucial to the operations at Gems, as flowers have a short life-span they need to communicate to the flower farms ahead of time in order to have inventory grown and harvested at the time sales demand them. Sage ERP X3 will give them better control over inventory and prepare them for future seasonal demand.

“Kerarganic is the new generation in hair therapy,” says Admir Serrano, founder and CEO of Beleza Pura. “And, I dare say, the safest on the market. Salon workers no longer have to worry about harsh odors, eye irritants or hazardous chemicals that are present in traditional keratin treatments. It’s a product that they can sincerely get behind and use with confidence. Now, even pregnant or breastfeeding women and children can enjoy keratin treatment. We solved the formaldehyde controversy.”

The Brazilian keratin treatment or Brazilian blowout, as it is also called, has been an important source of revenue to salons around the world. However, many stopped doing the treatment because formaldehyde, a main ingredient in the traditional keratin lotions, may cause health problems to hairdressers and clients. In fact, many clients are suing salon owners. As a result, several keratin brands containing formaldehyde are now forbidden in Europe, Canada, and Australia. In the U.S., both the FDA and OSHA are alerting hairdressers and clients about the health risks of formaldehyde fumes which are emitted during the treatment process. Formaldehyde has also been linked to cancer.

As the name implies, Kerarganic is a rich combination of natural keratin, the vitamin-packed, antioxidant Argan oil grown in Morocco; natural extracts; and an array of essential amino and fatty acids scientifically formulated to repair, beautify and straighten even the most resistant hair.

“There is no other product line on the market that rebuilds damaged hair like the Brazilian keratin treatment,” says Serrano. “Unfortunately, formaldehyde is a dangerous ingredient. We’re proud to have launched a product line that is free of formaldehyde or any other aldehyde or harsh chemicals, yet delivers the same expected results without the health risks. We want to bring the keratin business back to the salons in the safest manner possible.”

Another advantage of Kerarganic over traditional keratin treatments is that clients no longer need to wait two or three days to wash their hair after the treatment. With this new generation of hair therapy, hair is washed 20 minutes after the application process. It also allows clients to keep wanted curls with a simple twist in the final procedures.

Effects are visible within minutes after the first treatment and last approximately three to four months. To prolong results, Kerarganic designed a home care line composed of salt and sulfate-free shampoo; conditioner; leave- in conditioner; Argan oil serum, and an intensive weekly mask – all especially formulated to replenish keratin proteins, nutrients and vitamins that hair loses during the day.

Kerarganic® products are made and available in the U.S. and are also being exported to North Africa; the Middle East; Europe; and Central and South America.

What’s in a name? Practically everything is in a products name. Sports Combines are very well known today, the word Combine is synonymous with words like Athletics, Speed, Performance and Agility, just to name a few. A Sports Combine is one of the most exciting events today connected with sports. There are now Combines in all sports, the main and most recognized Combine today is the annual NFL Combine which has a direct link to the NFL Draft. Whether it’s a youth Combine, High School, College or Professional Combine, the main event is always the 40 yard dash. “The Combine 40″ is a very familiar term and will give instant name recognition to the Combine 4.0 automobile.

According to Emory Williams, company President and CEO, “We were in talks with a foreign manufacturer and very close to a deal, but the group wasn’t fully understanding the magnitude of what we had on the table. They were looking to manufacture a weak version of what we had presented to them, not realizing the full concept of Combines and the class of consumers the auto would attract by its name alone. Knowing this would not be the right union, we decided to walk away and continue the search.”

Combine Motor Works has secured trademark rights to the name and is looking to have one of the finest automobiles in the world, nothing less. With the exposure of athletic Combines today, the “Combine 4.0″ will have an immediate consumer following which will include athletes of all sports, professional and non-professional, die-hard sports fans, and the consumer who buys what’s new just to make a statement.

Athletes work and train very hard preparing for their presence at the Combines, we are putting forth the same efforts to make the Combine 4.0 automobile one of the finest on the market today. “Great driving dynamics, good weight distribution and maneuverability are some of the areas we will pay close attention to, not to mention a roomy plush interior, comfort and style,” added Williams.

Being available in two design classes, sports coupe and SUV, the Combine 4.0 will be tagged as the “True American Sports Car.”

Says Williams “We will now continue making contacts with various manufacturers, looking for the right union. We know that once certain consumers see the Combine 4.0 on the car lot, they won’t leave without it.”

“Foreclosures have had a huge impact on home values,” remarked John Evan Miller, a real estate analyst with Foreclosure Deals. “In almost every market, prices are well below their 2008 values, simply because there are so many homes available.”

Foreclosure Deals presents the new data compared with values recorded in 2008 using an infographic available on their web site, and the impact of the foreclosure wave is clear. In many areas, home prices are extremely low, while rent prices are notably higher.

“Rents are up, and they’re going to stay up,” said Miller. “Even though it’s the best market for homebuyers we’ve seen in over a decade, the recession made a lot of people reconsider spending at the time, so they rented. This drove up demand, and prices, for rental properties.”

Despite the sluggish economy, Miller points out that this is the perfect market for real estate investment. He adds that mortgage interest rates are also at historic lows, creating other opportunities for value investing.

“Not only do you have rock bottom prices, you’ve got a terrific market to rent out your property while you wait for prices to rise. And they will rise. Home values will come back, but the days of 3.5 percent and 4 percent mortgages aren’t going to be around forever. Once home values rise, those interest rates will rise too.”

Experts currently predict average rental costs to be 4.5 percent higher than by the end of 2011 than their value last year, and up another 3 percent in 2012. In contrast, foreclosure homes currently offer savings of anywhere from 10 percent to 50 percent off market value. As buyers who put off buying a home during the recession look to start buying again once the economy improves, it will create the opportunity for big profits for foreclosure investors.

“In a great many cases, you’re going to end up paying less on a monthly mortgage payment if you buy a home than you would in rent on the same property,” said Miller. “Could there be a better reason to buy than that?”

“With sporting events and the need for greater fan loyalty growing annually by leaps and bounds, with no ending in sight, I thought now would be the perfect time to get on board with sports related products,” says Emory Williams Jr., the company President and CEO.

Williams, an ex-football player and athlete, now an avid fan of all sports gave special thought as to what business area of sports he would venture into. “Making a full assessment of sports as a whole and realizing the role fans play in the equation, rally towels came to mind,” explains Williams. “Fans want to be involved; giving them more to work with is the key to an intimidating/noisy stadium or arena. Sports Fans are the ‘X-Factor.’”

Williams knows that a products name has a great deal to do with the products success, so Williams got busy on product name development and came up with what he felt was a true winner “The Heat-Wave Towel.” The idea was helped by the Motown song from 1963 by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, “Love Is Like a ‘Heat Wave.’”

“The name lends itself well for products of this type, emphatic waving is exactly what the fans will be doing,” adds Williams.

Today, the company has already developed a total of five different Rally Towel names (all are registered trademarks) with several more in development. Sports fans locally and nationally have been ordering the products from the company website. “We find that Miami Heat Fans love the Heat-Wave Towels,” adds Williams. “They are a very big seller.”

Although there is presently no affiliation between The Miami Heat organization and True Fan Sports (the two have already met for discussion) consumers and fans are already linking the two, buying for season start.

The Heat-Wave Towel® will soon be available through department stores, athletic outlets, even the little corner stores, making sure everyone has access to the products. Says Williams, “We are also putting together a licensing division, allowing manufacturers the opportunity through licensing to produce goods under our trademarked names, this is a convenient way to help us build our brands.”

Primary Care and Specialist Doctor’s offices, MRI centers, Ophthalmology centers, ENT centers, Cancer treatment centers, physical therapy centers and other growing companies in the medical industry face a large volume of data entry and labor-intensive consolidation and reporting when their business and financial data is stored in separate nonintegrated systems. The SCS interface between Sage ERP MAS 500 and Sage Intergy Practice Management was developed to allow system users to view and analyze financial data daily (while eliminating double data entry) by automatically feeding the general ledger entries directly from Sage Intergy’s billing system.

“This interface provides great efficiencies for health care organizations using Sage Intergy Practice Management and Sage ERP MAS 500,” said Sonia Ferrara, president of Southeast Computer Solutions. “Executives benefit from being able to act on performance data and address operational issues or revenue shortfalls sooner rather than later. For growing medical companies it allows them to quickly add new practices into the system and begin financial analysis on the new centers immediately.”

This marks the sixth time in seven years that Southeast Computer Solutions has made the VAR 100.
