PamConsult acquires AuctionFlunky

PamConsult has completed the acquisition of the AuctionFlunky platform. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The new service is to be added to the eBay channel available today on Philips Net TV.

Ever looked on eBay for something, could not find anything and then thinking why is there no option to save your search and to automatically receive a notification when the article becomes available? Well, AuctionFlunky does just that. AuctionFlunky is a web based service which enables a user to save a search item for eBay and once the item becomes available on eBay, a notification will be sent to the user so that the user can start to bid for it. This functionality provides an improved customer experience and ensures that a user never misses a new article.

“We are extremely excited about this technology acquisition and will soon enhance our TV based eBay experience with this new service” says Dick Schiferli, CEO of PamConsult.

PamConsult plan to include this function as part of the Jaast “eBay on TV” offering, currently available on Philips Net TV enabled TV sets. When using eBay on a TV, the normal PC environment is not available (it is not so easy to switch back and forth between the eBay channel on the TV and the programs to search for items). Thus the new functionality will make searching on eBay much more pleasant, simpler and effective.

During the transition, the AuctionFlunky website and internet service will not be available to new customers.

PamFax Windows update released to address scanner driver problem

Those using PamFax with a scanner have noticed a very annoying message after upgrading to PamFax3. The scanner driver pointed you to a website to buy a driver. This was caused by an error in the driver we packaged with PamFax. We have resolved the problem and released an updated PamFax for Windows application (version 3.0.0.1).

If you are affected by this issue, please go to www.pamfax.com (yes, we now operate from a .com domain) and re-download the installer for PamFax and run it. This will then update the scanner driver to a non nagging version.

Note that the update is not automatically pushed to everyone.

PC Home, Taiwan starts ad campaign for PamFax

We recently did a complete revision of our Chinese simplified and traditional language in PamFax. So this was a good time to start finding more customers in Taiwan. As a result, PC Home (Skype distributor in Taiwan) have started a focussed marketing campaign to promote PamFax to their Skype user base.

The promotion started on March 1st. The PamFax ads will be present on their Skype Business pages and also in the partner tab of the PC Home version of the Skype application.

An example of the website ad below.

Websites “Christmasnized” ;)

I know the word “Christmasnized” does not exist, but it seemed to me the simplest and shortest description of what happened today :) .

The team has updated the websites of PamFax and Pamela with some Christmas dressing. The holiday season is approaching fast, so here you go. I hope you like the updated header and footer (scroll down the page!).

A new face for www.pamconsult.com

Today we have upgraded our company website www.pamconsult.com to a complete new design:

pamconsult.com new design

This new design fits into our CI that we are applying to all our websites. We hope that every user feels “like home” and knows how to use it when he gets to one of our websites when they all look similar and all navigation elements are at the same place.

PamFax and Pamela are McAfee Secure Sites

We recently joined the McAfee Secure Site program which already includes many large and well known websites. McAfee ensures that our entire webservice offering is secure and safe. In future McAfee ensures this stays secure by conducting daily scans of our entire service.

After the first scan of the PamFax website we were able to add the McAfee logo to the PamFax website.

Today we added the logo to our PamFax website at www.pamfax.biz and on Monday latest the Pamela website at www.pamela.biz will also show the logo (the scans have been completed and nothing major was found – but hey it’s Friday).

The good news is that both our sites showed no major security flaws which could have impacted the users privacy.
