Xionetic Technologies Inc., Adopts Plum Voice Portals VoiceXML Platform to Deliver  Phone-Based Store/Dealer Locator Services

 

Help American Tire Distributor Execute National Marketing Campaign

 

 

(New York, NY November 22, 2005)  Plum Voice Portals, a leading platform provider for best-in-class VoiceXML automated telephone solutions, announces that Xionetic, a developer of advanced location-based services software, has selected the Plum Voice Portals VoiceXML platform to power their new phone-based locator service. The Plum VoiceXML platform enables Xionetic to launch the Xionetic Phone Locator, a new service that helps businesses connect with consumers.

 

Xionetic has used the Plum VoiceXML platform to deliver phone-based applications to customers such as American Tire Distributor.  Consumers can reach out to American Tire Distributor by phone to find and contact appropriate dealers.  By simply dialing a 1-800 number, hosted by Plum, consumers can find their nearest American Tire distributor from a selection of dealer across the country.  For consumers on the go, who do not have access to the Internet, this is a very valuable customer service.

 

The collaboration between Plum Voice Portals and Xionetic is a clear success story for both parties: for Plum Voice Portals it is yet another demonstration of how its best-in-class VoiceXML platform is being deployed by application developers to create valuable customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. For Xionetic, this synergy enables quick launch of a new phone application that is valuable to a wide variety of enterprises.

 

Matt Ervin, Plum Voice Portals Managing Director, comments, "The success story with Xionetic underscores the powerful capability of the Plum VoiceXML platform to facilitate the creation and deployment of valuable telephony solutions. We are very pleased to provide the underlying technology that powers the Xionetic Phone Locator solution."

 

"The Plum Voice Portal VoiceXML platform helped us to quickly deploy the Xionetic Phone Locator, a valuable turnkey IVR solution for our clients,"

said Xionetic's Director of Sales Dennis Burton.  "We chose the Plum VoiceXML platform because it's the most versatile VoiceXML platform out there and ultimately helped us deliver four days ahead of schedule."
