• Watkins-Conti Products

A full competitive analysis indicates there is no product in the OTC market that addresses both the symptoms and the causes of this universal problem. Due to personal experience, developer Allison Conti recognized a need for this product in the marketplace. After receiving validation from medical professionals on the design, the company filed a patent for Yoni.Fit. The unique design plus an extensive marketing plan that targets the fitness and pregnancy industries sets this product apart.  With the validation of the product and completion of final engineering design, Watkins-Conti Products is moving forward.  The company is currently working on the next round of funding to move the product through the pre-FDA approval clinical trials.  For more information, please visit their website.

My Map Plan is the company’s online database focused on providing an efficient resource for the recruiting and job-seeking process that includes all employment qualifications, work characteristics, and history.  The platform is directed toward our military veterans. It enables companies with job openings to have a much broader contact with active military prior to mustering out.  It gives our individual military personnel the ability to create a far more complete history and selectively contact companies with job openings in their areas of interest.  This concept is the brainchild of Hector Guerra, who discovered the difficulties of a veteran finding employment after his career in the U.S. Army.  The soldier database is being developed from pilots at Ft. Hood and Ft. Sill. Tinker and Sheppard Air Force bases are starting the program test.  For more information, please visit their website.

•  Profit Improvement

Founded in 1986, Kelly Karns, purchased this financial institution consulting company in 2009. Profit Improvement, LLC has historically had two primary sources of revenue, identifying and quantifying opportunities for financial institutions to improve their profits and negotiating Core Processing and related service agreements for better pricing and more efficient service delivery. In providing these services, it became apparent that a significant percentage of customers did not have an orderly process to list, monitor and manage their third-party service providers. In many cases, the institutions allow contracts to automatically renew for multiple years without a review of service needs or price and in some cases, the institution is completely unaware of the timing of the renewal. Increasing regulation has accentuated the need for active vendor management. Profit Improvement, LLC is offering a comprehensive vendor management solution for banks and credit unions that include not only the software for tracking and documenting regulatory compliance but also labor and professional advice to maintain the data, negotiate contracts and facilitate systematic strategic planning for third-party services. To understand more of this unique business model, please visit their website.
