CSI now a 3G & iBurst dealer

CSI has recently entered into a partnership agreement with Vodacom whereby we are licensed to sell and distribute 3G & iBurst connectivity to our clients. Part of this offering is a Vodafone Linksys 3G router that is particularly aimed at small businesses.

The Vodafone Linksys 3G router, is a Cisco affiliated product which provides shared access to the intranet, Internet andother business applications for up to five users. The router supports all Vodacom's existing Vodafone Mobile Connect data cards with the exception of the Option Fusion Wi-Fi card. Each individual user in the small office environment requiring Internet connectivity will be required to run the set up wizard contained in the CD which is provided together with the router device.

Once the set up is complete, the user will be able to work off the shared 3G connection. Up to five users can share off the same connection.

Business Benefits
One device connects multiple users
Simple and easy to set up and use
Cost-effective solution
Increased productivity and efficiency
Wireless connection means greater flexibility

The solution is suitable for professional workgroups that move from site to site, e.g. field workers, auditors and evaluators. The solutions can also be used very successfully as a back-up for existing data services or, for example, to establish a temporary hotspot at a remote office.

Processing system for laundry and dry cleaning

DoveCorp Enterprises has transformed an entire business sector by introducing a suite of technologies to a kind of business where they had been seldom used - dry cleaning.

In 2001, Dove Cleaners became the first retail dry cleaner to ever receive ISO 9001 certification. It meant that the company could offer customers a guaranteed level of quality. Then, when building a new processing plant in Toronto in 2003, Dovecorp laid the foundation for expansion by impleŽmenting the most advanced systems developed for its industry.

In traditional dry cleaning establishŽments, much of the employees' time is spent sorting garments rather than cleaning them. At DoveCorp, each garŽment is now identifiable down to the fabric, manufacturer and number of cleanings. Its single-plant processing system, which serves 98 retail outlets, has increased throughput to 180 pieces an hour for each workstation from 90, resulting in substantially lower labour costs. The system has also greatly reduced the number of lost items.

Automated boiler monitoring has lowered fuel costs, and strict control of solvents has improved workplace safety and conditions.

The new two-storey conveyor system can sort and assemble items for up to 150 retail outlets. The patented two-tier garment-tracking system, which runs on a Microsoft, Net platform, capŽtures the colour and manufacturer of a garment, the time it enters the plant and the time when it is due back at the store. Another system monitors the boilers' temperatures and automatically switches them on and off as required. The plant and the 98 stores are linked by an intranet

Management information is provided by a point-of-sale system in the stores, a routing system for vehicles and a decision support system, which links all elements of the business to financial reporting. In addition, DoveCorp believes it was the first dry cleaning and laundry company in North America to implement an online ordering system and the first Canadian firm to use bar-coding in this sector.

Five years ago, Dove Cleaners was a small, downtown Toronto business, with two wholly owned retail outlets and one franchised store. Today, DoveCorp Enterprises is the largest dry cleaning and laundry company in Canada.
