Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

izmocars (http://www.izmocars.com) today announced that it will unveil the revolutionary AOA Supplier Digital Network at this week’s 2011 SEMA show in Las Vegas. The new network solves the multiple coordination challenges between auto dealers and aftermarket suppliers and is an extension of izmocars? highly successful AddOnAuto platform that has dramatically increased accessories sales and revenue in auto dealerships across the country.

By bringing aftermarket suppliers, re-stylers, installers and dealers together for the first time on a digital platform, the network enables better coordination of real-time parts updating, pricing, ordering and installation while also providing a visually exciting experience for consumers proven to generate increased sales.

Automotive Concepts, a leader in automotive restyling and accessories and an early adopter of the AOA Supplier Digital Network, reported a nearly 400% increase in dealership orders in just two months on the network. A recent case study conducted with Rudy Luther Toyota demonstrates the efficiency and advantage of the Supplier Digital Network, which helped the Minnesota dealership take accessories sales from $ 30K a month to over $ 130K a month.

?We knew that providing a unified digital catalogue for auto dealers and aftermarket suppliers would eliminate the challenges associated with keeping up with the thousands of choices in an ever-changing product market, including pricing changes, market availability, and fitment issues — as well as solving installer coordination hassles,? said izmocars Vice President Sidney Haider. ?The results from dealers using our AddOnAuto platform prove the advantages of providing a visually exciting digital accessories presentation in that sweet spot moment of vehicle purchase ? and, with the new AOA Supplier Digital Network, we are now able to extend that opportunity to multiple suppliers and re-stylers, to increase their product sales inside the dealership, while eliminating the hassles that have historically inhibited in-dealership accessories sales.?

Supplier Digital Network: Greater Efficiency, Seamless Coordination, More Sales

The new network enables dealers to say goodbye to those outdated, bulky, dog-eared catalogues lying around the showroom that can cause sales managers to quote and sell the wrong products with the wrong pricing, resulting not only in customer dissatisfaction, but loss of dealer profits and commission charge backs. Now, with the Supplier Digital Network aftermarket suppliers can maintain their parts catalog in real-time and in living color, with up to the minute updates of parts, pricing and images on the network – simply adding their own parts and packages and making them available to their dealer customers with one click. The network also makes it easier for suppliers to maintain multiple price lists for their dealers providing discounts on volume based purchases.

Meanwhile, dealers are now able to use one catalog database to offer a variety of products from various suppliers to their customers, resulting in a much more efficient and effective accessories sales process. The network also offers an online scheduling tool that solves the scheduling challenges associated with complex installation coordination between multiple suppliers and the dealership?s own service center technicians.

?The Supplier Digital Network process is seamless between dealers and installers from initial sale of the accessory to ordering of parts to scheduling the installation work to finally delivering the work,? said Automotive Concepts owner John Prosser. ?Now, there is no hassle for the dealer, no hassle for the supplier and, importantly, no hassle for the consumer!?

Prosser added that another key benefit of the platform is that it enables dealerships to present accessories to customers prior to purchase, eliminating the chronic problem of wrong products ordered due to misinterpretation on the dealership end ? a problem that translates into significant hassle and wasted time for the supplier/installer.

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Bio Logic Aqua Research would like to announce new education on computers, health and dry eyes, courtesy of the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water.

Computers may not be safe.

Sharon Kleyne, water advocate, entrepreneur and radio talk show host, interviewed author and computer health education advocate Adetutu Ijose on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, November 9, 2009.

Adetutu became a spokesperson and educator for the health risks of computers while working in Information Technology. She assuming her computer was safe but discovered that this was not necessarily the case when she developed serious health problems involving her eyes, chronic fatigue and computer eye strain. She was forced to determine for herself that they were computer related.

The light from a computer screen.

Working at a computer, according to Adetutu, is not natural and is very different from working at a typewriter. Although the computer screen is intensely bright, your eyes and brain do not recognize this as sunlight. It’s like staring directly into the sun and not realizing you’re doing it.

Also, because you are engaged in an intense activity, your eyes’ reflexive blink rate can drop from an average of 30 times a minute to five times a minute. The blink rate drop exposes the eye to increased tear moisture evaporation that could lead to dry eye, eye fatigue and computer eye strain.

Computers and body defenses.

The human body, Adetutu explains, contains trillions of cells each programmed to behave in a certain way. They have a “script” and “repair kit” for anything that goes wrong. The role of doctors is to stimulate this self-healing ability. When you perform an activity new to your body’s experience, you may be nearly defenseless.

Sharon Kleyne agreed, observing that no two people are alike and that some people cannot use computers. Dry eye, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, weight gain and orthopedic problems are commonly experienced by individuals using a computer more than three hours a day. The lost productivity amounts to about $ 50 billion a year.

Many of these symptoms take a long time to manifest.

Computer eye strain.

Adetutu’s primary symptoms were fatigue and stress, attributed to burnout and not suspecting her computer. When she finally determined the source, she worked out a series of prevention measures enabling her to return to work. .

Computers and stress.

The body’s neurotransmitters (chemicals at the end of nerve cells that transmit messages to individual cells) are heavily involved in communication between the eyes, brain and body. Neurotransmitters are. either “excitatory” or “inhibitory” and include epinephrine, histamine, dopamine, serotonin and GABA (y-aminobutyric acid). Stimulating the wrong neurotransmitters, among other things, can cause severe depression.

Sharon noted that the eyes are closely linked to the brain, the brain is 80% water and the eye’s tear film is 99% water.

Proactive eye health information.

Adetutu concluded that a small screen is worse than a large screen and a flat panel screen is better than a cathode ray tube. She recommends drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day and keeping a window opened to increase humidity. She also recommends frequent breaks and wet cotton balls on the eyes. Sharon suggests eating dark green leafy vegetables and foods with omega-3 fatty acids to strengthen eyes and prevent dry eye. She also recommends Nature’s Tears
