InphoMatch, a leading developer of web-to-wireless applications, has teamed with eNeighbors, the fastest growing Online Community Provider, to provide wireless commerce and communications services to hundreds of communities throughout the country that stay connected using eNeighbors.com.
By using InphoMatch's innovative, wireless technology, eNeighbors can link neighborhood businesses with the local communities that support them, so community members can transact business online with their neighborhood businesses. Additionally, InphoMatch will empower eNeighbors' community participants to seamlessly stay in touch with each other, never losing track of critical community information.
InphoMatch and eNeighbors are making it possible for community members to place an order online with a local business who is then notified instantly on their wireless phone, pager or PDA. The order is fulfilled and picked up, or delivered directly to the community member. This frees businesses from incurring high costs connecting their back-end systems to the Internet, yet they are still able to provide a virtual storefront for the local community.
In addition, InphoMatch is enabling seamless wireless communications for the hundreds of eNeighbors' communities. This will enable community members to stay in touch on breaking community news, reminders and updates on the community, and allow timely communications between community members.
According to Bob Kerlin, VP of Sales and Marketing for eNeighbors, "Releasing wireless services to our merchants and community participants will allow local businesses to overcome the threat of the Internet and give them an opportunity to thrive in the e-commerce world. At the same time, community members can continue to enjoy the convenience of the Internet while still supporting their local businesses - it's a win all the way around."
InphoMatch President and CEO, Terry Hsiao, explained, "We are deploying wireless technology in a manner that has never been done before - connecting the unconnected businesses. And just as importantly, we are providing the technology to allow eNeighbors to continue to push forward their vision of extending community communication beyond the backyard; and in this case, we are extending it into the world of wireless which means that it reaches everyone, everywhere.
