Why use an optimization program?

BiPPo is a Hungarian-developed furniture panel optimization program designed for companies specializing in furniture panel cutting. This program allows for quick optimization and graphical, scale-drawn cutting plans. With the help of the optimizer, cutting plans can be optimized, thus reducing the amount of waste generated. With manually created cutting plans, we might waste up to 100 sheets of paper due to improper plans. Using the program, only one cutting plan needs to be created, which saves time. To protect our environment, the best solution is to minimize the use of paper in the planning process. The cutting plans are displayed in scale and proportionally, and they can be downloaded and printed.

We can also optimize the workflow, providing solutions for space requirements and facilitating easier execution of tasks. The optimizations are durable, as they remain available for multiple uses. Due to the web-based framework, no installation is required, so the program is not limited to a specific machine. It can be accessed from iOS, Android, and Windows browsers, making it available anytime and anywhere. The program allows for the rotation of large panels and small parts, and it also takes into account saw blade thickness and edge banding.

The advantage of our program is that with the creation of a single account (username, password), the program can be used in multiple locations, and the already recorded products are not lost. Another advantage is that existing plans can be edited, allowing for manual adjustments during the process. It also supports the management of multiple companies. So, if the panel cutting operation is run at multiple locations or in multiple companies, the program can still be accessed with a single user account. Multiple employees can be added under the companies, each with different access rights and permissions. Data can also be imported and exported in .xls format, and PDFs can be generated. The program is completely investment-free, as it is sufficient to purchase the package and pay after the optimizations and usage.

Our optimization program is one of the most optimal on the market, as it is capable of not only optimizing boards but also optimizing processes, meaning it can handle the simultaneous optimization of multiple products.

How to choose a panel optimization program?

Nowadays, as new technological solutions become more widespread, more and more businesses want their technological background to develop as well. There are already many options available, and businesses can choose from the existing options based on their operational principles.

Panel cutting and woodworking companies benefit from panel optimization programs, but it is important how we choose the one that suits us.

Important factors may include the following:

In Hungary, more and more people are learning foreign languages, but in order to perform our work with the greatest efficiency, it is still best if we can do it in Hungarian.
One very important factor is that the table optimization program should be portable, meaning it should be accessible to us anywhere and at any time.
For smooth work, it is also significant if multiple people can access it without having to wait for another colleague’s approval.
We can also save time by not having to deal with unnecessary installation issues.

Thanks to the advancement of technology, we have a wide range of devices available to us. If an optimization program is compatible with all devices, meaning it is device-independent, it will work on any gadget we have.

If the program includes the optimization of cutting plans among its features, then it can reduce the amount of waste generated.

These are the solutions offered by the BiPPo furniture board cutting optimization program

The BiPPo also has the advantage of offering more efficient solutions for both small (1-100 parts), medium (101-1000 parts), and large (1001 and more parts) tasks, sometimes saving multiple boards.

Additionally, you don’t have to spend hours creating a cutting plan. There is no risk of errors where, during the assembly of a multi-part task, it is discovered that the material was cut in the wrong direction or an extra part needs to be added to the task.

Some available features:

Optimizes using the BiPPo algorithm
Simultaneous optimization of multiple products
Management of board types
Product manager
Cutting width management
Grain direction management
Edge banding management
Data import/export (.xls support)

…And many more features that BiPPo offers.

This is how you order a drink from a digital menu.

This is how you order a drink from a digital menu

When you arrive at a restaurant or a bar, you will likely want to order a good drink. Before the e-drink card existed, you either had to go to the counter to order your drink or the waiter would come to your table to take your order, which you selected from a printed drink menu.

Here’s how you can order from the digital drink menu:

On the table, there is a small plastic plexiglass with an A5-sized card inserted into it. This card contains an NFC chip that you only need to touch with your phone, and you will immediately see the available drinks. The interface is very similar to that of an online store, where you can place your order. The NFC chip also contains information about which table you are at, so the waiter will know where to deliver your order based on this.

A Few Useful Pieces of Information about NFC Technology

NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It is a technology that allows for the wireless transfer of files from one mobile device to another. NFC is capable of exchanging digital data within a distance of about 20 centimeters using radio waves.

The technology has two main advantages: it is secure and, when combined with NFC tags, it has numerous potential uses. The technology connects devices in seconds, but only when they are close to each other and only when the smartphone screen is not locked.

NFC tags are small chips that are most commonly available in the form of stickers. The tag is freely programmable and can be attached to the desired location.

What are the advantages of using it?

No need for printed drink menus, making it cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Any information can be placed on it.
It is much easier to customize and personalize (e.g., discounts).
You can set up a completely different drink menu for a specific event, such as a party.
For registered users, you can see exactly which drinks they usually consume.

Available at every table

Access the complete drink menu with a single touch

This is the e-drink card

Food ordering from a digital menu

In today's world, where almost everything is digital, a paper menu is no longer trendy; in fact, a digital menu is a much more environmentally friendly solution.

Let’s consider how much simpler it is when we enter a dining venue, choose our table, and don’t have to wait for the server to bring us the menu. All we need is our phone. This solution is similar to the digital screens found in well-known fast-food chains, where we can assemble our order and handle payment ourselves. We then receive just a number to pick up our completed order.

The digital menu card is an A5-sized plastic plexiglass placed on the table, containing an NFC chip that can hold any desired information.

An NFC chip is durable, with a lifespan of up to 5-10 years. This menu is available at every table and can be accessed by guests with just a single touch. To use this digital menu, you only need to touch your phone, and the entire menu will appear. Orders are also placed through the phone, so no server is needed.

Why is this useful? Because nowadays it is difficult to find a good server due to the labor shortage, but our solution can bridge this problem. The e-menu card contains a chip, which allows the server to know which table to deliver the completed order to.

The advantage of the e-menu card is that it can collect data from the guest’s previous consumption, thus enabling them to create personalized promotions for the guest. The digital menu is a restaurant software, and its advantage is that while the content of a paper menu is fixed, the content of the e-menu card can be modified anytime in the backend settings, so there is no need to print a new menu.

In some dining establishments, the daily menu is also included in the offerings. This can be easily managed with the digital menu, allowing the daily menu to be displayed on the landing page, for example, between 11 AM and 2 PM, and the regular menu after 2 PM.

SMS solution for medical offices

In today’s world, we live in the age of smartphones, as almost everyone has a phone in their pocket that is always with them. Often, incoming marketing emails and newsletters are not even considered or end up in the spam folder by default, thus escaping our attention. In contrast, SMS is almost immediately opened. The advantage of SMS is that it is available on all devices, so no development is required for it. However, no one likes long and lengthy messages.

Good marketing and informational messages are short and to the point!

Sending SMS is useful for medical offices during appointment scheduling. Increasingly, medical offices offer online appointment booking. Patients can book appointments from their computers or smartphones from anywhere, and then receive a confirmation via SMS. This includes the details of the appointment, such as which doctor they have an appointment with, the time, and, if necessary, which documents to bring. In private practices, they can also inform patients about delays due to prolonged work. This helps avoid potential frustration and eliminates the need to wait in the waiting room. For example, if the results of a blood test arrive, medical offices can send an SMS with a unique identification code that allows patients to access a specific results viewer on the clinic’s website to view their test results. If they do not have such a solution, they can send a similar message informing patients that a new document has arrived and can be viewed at the following link, redirecting them to the appropriate page.

Medical offices can also send SMS for marketing purposes. For example, they can send information about discounted medical examinations to their partner companies. They can also reach out to newly established companies or any company for marketing purposes where new employees need suitability examinations or just the annual mandatory suitability check. They can even offer discounts for employees. There are also private hospitals where the lift code is not given at the reception but sent via SMS to the patient, allowing them to reach the desired clinic.

SMS Marketing for SMEs

In today’s world, we live in the era of smartphones, as nearly everyone has a phone in their pocket that is always with them. Often, marketing emails and newsletters we receive are either ignored or end up in the spam folder by default, thus missing our attention. Therefore, instead of emails, we can send marketing and informational messages to our customers via SMS.

SMS marketing can be utilized by webshops or various service providers. In these messages, they can inform customers about current promotions, newly released products, or even discount coupons. The only limit to informational SMS messages is one’s imagination. This approach can be employed not only by webshops but also by courier companies, medical offices, and even specialized service centers.

Webshops can send notifications to customers regarding the status of their orders or inform them when their package has been handed over to the courier service. The courier service itself can provide updates on when the package is expected to be delivered or even send a code for opening a parcel locker. Medical offices can notify patients about received lab results or specialist opinions, and they can also use SMS marketing to offer discounts on examinations or suitability tests for new companies. Private hospitals may use SMS to send lift codes to arriving patients. Specialized service centers can send notifications when a repaired product is ready for pickup or provide information about delivery.

It can also be used as a confirmation tool, for example, in a hair salon where a customer books an appointment for a service. Here, they receive a number and can also be informed about when to arrive for their scheduled time. SMS sending is useful for multi-factor authentication systems, such as logging into a bank, where a username, a password, and a code received via SMS are required. In municipal offices, it can be applied to client calling systems, so the phone queues on our behalf. This is a one-way communication from a central source, meaning the SMS is sent from the cloud, and the client only pays for the actual SMS that was sent to them.

Panel cutting and process optimization in one software

BiPPo is a Hungarian-developed furniture panel cutting optimization software designed for companies and carpenters involved in panel cutting. This program allows for quick optimization and graphical, scaled cutting plan visualization. The software can adjust the rotation of both large panels and small components, and it also takes into account saw blade thickness, grain direction, and edge banding treatment.

Optimization means striving for and setting the best efficiency. Almost anything can be optimized: processes, websites, software, and much more. By optimizing, we can save energy, money, and time. It is also possible to optimize work processes, which involves finding the best way to complete a task, potentially allowing the entrepreneur to save money and time or produce more products. Organizations use work processes to coordinate tasks among people. The ultimate goal is to improve efficiency and profitability. Optimizations are timeless, as they remain applicable and can be used multiple times. Larger furniture panel cutting businesses often work on large projects and usually operate based on a monthly plan, which is recorded in cutting optimization software such as BiPPo. The work will then proceed according to this plan. Optimization programs help to optimize cutting plans, thus reducing the amount of waste generated.

Our optimization program is one of the most optimal on the market, as it is capable of not only board optimization but also process optimization, meaning it can handle the simultaneous optimization of multiple products. Large projects may require up to 1,000 large boards, from which the panel cutting will begin. The boards are transported to the cutting machines using forklifts. At this stage, the furniture panels are cut, starting with the back panels, then proceeding to the front panels, and continuing in this sequence for each element. During this process, there can be issues with space due to the accumulation of cut panels, making it crucial for the workflow to be continuously scheduled. The processes create the results that the company will deliver to its customers.

Useful information for mass SMS sending

You can send mass messages via SMS to hundreds of clients, partners, or colleagues at once. With this service, you can reach more customers. Nowadays, marketing emails and newsletters are often ignored, as they typically end up in the spam folder. Mass SMS is quick, efficient, and to the point. 95% of the sent messages are opened. The advantage of mass SMS is that there are no incorrect email addresses, uncertain postal deliveries, or unnecessary flyer distributions.

Messages can be divided into two types

GSM message

Unicode message

The GSM standard uses the English alphabet, so it does not include certain Hungarian characters, meaning messages must be written without accents. A single GSM message can contain up to 160 characters, while two GSM messages allow for 306 characters, and three GSM messages support 459 characters. As you can see from the character limits, the size of the message does not double with each additional SMS. This is because messages are chained together, with 14 characters used for linking in each SMS. The content size of the message is limited, and a message can be sent in a maximum of three SMS. Every character counts, including spaces, commas, and periods. Thus, if the message can be composed of three message characters, it will be sent as a single batch. However, the customer pays after the transaction, which in this case includes the cost for three messages.

Unicode includes accented characters. If you want to send a bulk SMS as a single message, it must fit within 70 characters. Two Unicode messages can contain up to 134 characters, and three Unicode messages can hold 201 characters. Here, too, you can see that the messages are chained together, which ensures that they are sent as a single batch. Let’s see an example: If you want to automatically send messages to your clients, use the SMS Sender for scheduled bulk SMS distribution. This is a 113-character Unicode message, so it sends the content of two messages at once. This SMS is a one-way communication, meaning it is sent from the cloud and can even be scheduled for delivery.

Bulk SMS for Service Centers

Why is mass SMS sending good for a service center?

There is no business that cannot successfully use the possibilities of mass SMS sending, and this is true for service centers as well. SMS marketing provides immediate reach with a high response rate. Well-crafted messages always have a personal aspect; the customer feels personally addressed, as if they were specifically thought of, counted on, and messaged. Thus, the mass-sent SMS messages have a significant mobilizing and purchasing-influencing effect.

No one likes to be bombarded with long, wordy messages. Important messages are short and to the point. One advantage of sending SMS is that you send a short and impactful message without unnecessary images and descriptive information. Nowadays, it can be said that almost everyone has a mobile phone. If you do not send SMS to your service center customers, it is highly likely that the competition will, and this is not good for your business.

It is an ideal choice for service centers with a large customer base, loyal customers, or business partners, where it is important for the message to reach the recipients quickly and on time. Our solution is even suitable for two-way communication.

In what cases might a service center send mass SMS to its customers?

Sales-related:

New model showcase days
Clearance model promotions
Winter-summer tire discounts
Oil change and parts discounts
Technical inspection promotions

Service-related:

Technical inspection notifications
Warranty service appointments
Periodic services
Service status updates

Service Events:

SMS notifications tied to events, including dates and programs
Open weekends
Test drives

Additionally:

Well-wishes
Holiday messages: birthday greetings, name day wishes, Christmas greetings

Service centers that have access to their own customer database can quickly carry out a promotional campaign or any other campaigns that support the company’s growth, reputation maintenance, and customer retention. It effectively and precisely reaches the target audience and can be much more successful than an advertisement on a local radio or in a newspaper. There’s no need to worry about the message not reaching the customer, as might happen with an email ending up in a spam folder!
