In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Aviv Canaani, CRO at Datarails, who shares how he helped move the company from 90% outbound to 90% inbound. "One of our best performing ads is something actually I saw, usually it comes from the team, but I saw this TikTok ad for I think it was a B2C company. Something like, someone asked a lady a question and whatever they ask she says 'yup'. 'Oh, does it do this?' 'Yup'. 'Does it do this?' 'Yup'. So I sent it to the team. I'm like, let's try to do something like that for Datarails. It's been our one of our best performing ads on TikTok. So I think it's really understanding, you know, the channel you're focused on and you have to create the fun, engaging videos that align with what works in the channel, but with our own spin of marketing, our own software." Aviv shares: • Diversification and reducing dependency on any single ad channel • TikTok success in B2B; from user-generated content to understanding the algorithm • Reducing attribution confusion: the simple switch the DataRails team made to categorise and analyse data • How they've scaled their marketing budget in direct proportion to AE hiring: their data-driven system that predicts meeting generation based on marketing spend • His transition from VP Marketing to CRO and his biggest learning managing sales teams • Combat rising ad costs: why creating platform-specific content rather than using a one-size-fits-all strategy is key and more!

SeaWorld is a name that carries a lot of history, but also its fare share of controversy. There are SeaWorlds in the United States that have gone through highs and lows. This latest SeaWorld location was presented to be entirely different; fully indoor and keeping the wellbeing of the animals in high regard. From all the parks we visited in the Middle East, this one was by far the hardest to form an image of beforehand. It is far from being a regular theme park or an amusement park for that matter. Maybe it is therefore that the park was such a surprise. Where we normally praise certain aspects of theme parks like: Customisation, height differences, artificial rock work, custom soundtracks and lighting. It is actually this very park that excels in all of those aspects. The entire experience feels incredibly high-class and it's almost hard to categorise it. It feels very artificial and genuine at the same time, calming and spectacular at the same time, but also like entertainment and education at the same time. We spent a whole day here, without feeling bored at any moment. We even consider this park 'monumental' in certain aspects. Of course that is a lot of praise, but does it also hold any negatives?

FOLLOW US: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/inside-commerce/ ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this episode of Inside Commerce, James Gurd and Paul Rogers discuss the critical decision-making process surrounding technology investment versus viewing technology migration as a cost reduction opportunity. They emphasize the importance of focusing on value rather than merely cutting costs, exploring the nuances of licensing fees, the significance of building business cases to justify technology investment. The conversation also highlights the need for customisation in SaaS platforms and the importance of planning for cost neutrality in long-term strategies via offsetting existing costs. Key takeaways Investing in technology should focus on value, not just cost reduction. Understanding the nuances of licensing fees is crucial for accurate budgeting. A strong business case is essential for technology change. Positioning your investment request effectively can lead to better outcomes. Marketing spend should be viewed as an investment in long-term growth. Cost neutrality can be a strategic goal in technology investments. Customisation may be necessary to achieve desired customer experiences. Avoid standardised approaches that limit differentiation in SaaS. Consider the total cost of ownership (TCO) when evaluating platforms. Evaluate where costs can be offset to support new investments.

Like other industries, the UK medical devices sector was heavily disrupted during the Covid pandemic. But in contrast with many, it initially saw a surge in demand for many products, followed by a lull as demand pressures eased. It has now recovered from the 2022 downturn and is resuming annualised growth of over 5%. By Will Stirling The UK medical devices market, worth over €17bn a year, is the third-largest in Europe, after Germany (€41bn) and France (€31bn) and ranks number six in the world. The size of the market itself is not automatically reflected in the size of its manufacturing sector. The Republic of Ireland, for example, punches well above its market weight in terms of production and is second only to Germany as a European exporter of medical technology. Many companies have opened operations in Ireland in recent years, either production operations or sales and service hubs. These include robot producers KUKA and FANUC, who used to serve the Irish market mainly from their UK bases. The UK has over 3,000 active device manufacturers and has a strong reputation for orthopaedic, imaging, diagnostics and cardiovascular devices. The market itself is projected to grow by around 5.6% annually from 2024 to 2028, and to reach a value of $22.68bn by then. The total includes in vitro diagnostics but physical medical devices account for over 90% . Growth is being driven primarily by two factors: customer preference (hopes for improved outcomes) and an ageing population, which requires devices such as artificial joints, mobility aids and home healthcare equipment.  Regulatory advantage  The UK is becoming an attractive place for non-EU companies to base operations, with the introduction of the new European Medical Device Regulation Directive, according to reports in the pharmaceutical press, such as pharmaforum . The UK still operates under consolidated regulations which, it is argued, provide a less complex route to market entry. Further help comes from the recently launched MedTech strategy, which aims to encourage and stimulate new medical technologies. In 2020, Scotland's Medical Device Manufacturing Centre (MDMC) was opened with £3.7m from Scottish Enterprise's Advancing Manufacturing Challenge Fund and several universities in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. It focuses on supporting healthcare SMEs with innovation and product development. OEMs, contract manufacturing and device production Medical device manufacturers generally fall under one of two headings. Those that manufacture their own devices and those that offer a contract manufacturing service. The term ‘medical devices' covers an array of products, from drug dispensing to CAT scanning equipment, and therapeutic beds. The focus here is on ‘hard' medical devices, such as surgical instruments and orthopaedic implants. At one end of the age spectrum are young people needing dental braces; at the other, the leading surgical requirement for over-50s globally is replacement joints – hips, especially. Several of Europe's top 50 manufacturers of artificial knees and hips have locations in Great Britain and Ireland, including Smith & Nephew, Stryker and Corin Group.  Smith & Nephew's Redapt cup was its first 3D printed titanium hip implant. It chose additive manufacturing in order to produce an entirely porous implant, which mimics the structure of cancellous or spongy bone – the softer bone type that is typically found at the ends of long bones, like hips.  A habit of innovation  Product innovation is the lifeblood of medical device manufacture. Swann-Morton, founded in 1932 and based in Sheffield, was initially established to make razor blades. Within a few years it became, and has remained, a leading supplier of surgical instruments to the NHS. In the 1960s, in collaboration with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority at Wantage, it developed a sterilisation process using cobalt-60 gamma radiation and built one of the first commercial plants of its kind in the world. More recently, it introduced the KLEEN Blade Management System, which allows for safe attachment and removal of surgical blades from standard handles and the Surgical Blade Remover, which facilitates safe removal of scalpel blades from handles. Swann-Morton's products, which include approximately 70 different blade shapes and 30 handle designs, are used by surgeons, GPs, nurses, paramedics as well as practitioners in dentistry, podiatry and veterinary surgery. Williams Medical Supplies, based in Rhymney, Wales, is the largest supplier to general practices in the UK. It manufactures and retails medical products ranging from surgical instruments to pharmaceuticals. Rocket Medical has a manufacturing base in Washington, Tyne & Wear, an office in Watford and presence in The Netherlands, Germany, USA, Australia and New Zealand. It designs, develops, and manufactures single-use medical devices for various clinical areas, including cardiothoracic, ascites drainage, infertility, and colorectal procedures. In 2019, it invested in a new  quality control system from software company Lynq, which enabled it to manage production and inventory more effectively and helped with its growth path.  Founded in 1979, JRI Orthopaedics of Sheffield originally distributed hip replacements before going into manufacture, recently marked a milestone with its 100th A3GT total knee replacement. The company also recently celebrated a 100% survival rate of its Furlong H-A.C femoral stem, an implant for aseptic loosening at 27 to 32 years. The device has ceramic coating and was designed especially for younger patients. Milling, moulding and additive manufacturing ‘Hard' devices, such as implants especially, are produced either by traditional milling, moulding or additive manufacturing. Attenborough Medical, which was established in 1913, has invested heavily in 3D medical imaging scanning and custom manufacturing techniques to produce implants specifically designed for individual patients. Europlaz, one of the UK's leading medical equipment manufacturers, injection moulds medical grade polymers. It has cleanroom manufacturing facilities covering over 9,500 of its 60,000sq/ft manufacturing area, which also includes 24 injection moulding machines with capacities from 10 to 300 tonnes.  Traditional strengths The continued importance of traditional milling is demonstrated by companies like Oracle Precision, which manufactures reconstructive medical devices, associated instrumentation and ancillary components. “CNC machining makes it possible to produce artificial joints that perfectly fit the patient, giving improved outcomes with joints that last and are biocompatible,” Oracle said. Oracle uses CNC machining on materials including stainless steel, titanium, medical polymers, elastomers and composites. It offers both one-off and batch medical machining and a full list of technologies: 4 and 5-axis milling, 2D and 3D machining, CNC turning and CMM inspection. LUBE-FREE BEARINGS GOOD FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS Medical technology is becoming lighter, more compact and modular and many medical devices need bearings. igus bearings and linear guides are designed for flexible adjustments and its energy chain systems for safe cable guidance are specially designed for medical applications. These products can be found in X-ray robots, laboratory devices, patient and treatment chairs, hospital beds and prostheses. They are resistant to chemicals, lubrication-free and maintenance-free and therefore offer maximum wearability in daily use. High loads such as shocks must be safely absorbed, and intensive care requires particularly reliable systems with easy and precise adjustability. Safety and ease-of-use are prioritised as all igus medical products are cleanroom compatible, media-resistant, and quiet – to meet high medical standards.

Are you someone who keeps up with fashion? Perhaps you're now saying: no, I'm resistant and don't go along with every trend. Maybe so. But the fact is that we can hardly avoid it: for example, we can only buy clothes that are available - and these are often created according to the latest fashion. Perhaps it's different with hairstyles or with men: moustache or beard or whatever facial hair. I notice how younger men in particular are very... let's say... susceptible. Yes, let's be honest: appearance is important to us - because it is non-verbal communication with the environment. That's why we pay a lot of attention to it, and not without good reason. But depending on the fashion trend, this can change very quickly. And what about the inside? How much importance do you attach to training and developing your character in the way you would actually like to be? Such a development does not happen by itself. That is a fact. I wish you an extraordinary day!

In this 4-hour special, we focus on musicians who have used new modular & vintage synths in their studios, with tracks taken from the 80s to the present day, which have been featured on various editions of our previous podcasts. Modular synths, once considered virtually obsolete, have been one of the most surprising growth areas in music technology over the last decade. The main appeal to musicians is obvious: their unrivalled flexibility makes them the most versatile form of an imaginable synthesiser. Customisation is one of the main appeals of modular synthesisers, with small-format and relatively cheap Eurorack is one exciting way that sound connoisseurs are building upon the classic sound technologies of the past while taking advantage of new alternative modules that are jam-packed with never-seen-before features.

As requested by many of our listeners, we sat down to talk about the making of Bryson's custom hardtail frame under the supervision of legendary frame builder Paul Brodie. Yes, the Paul Brodie of Brodie Bicycles fame. We go through the process step by step, from the first meeting with Paul, to the course format and what to expect from a guided experience, to design principles and geometry decisions and all the way to the many iterations of the bikes throughout the years. We had a lot of fun reliving the experience and it was great to hear the highs, lows and everything in between of building a custom steel hardtail. With Fahrzeug Der Zukunft, Bryson continues to ponder the future of bikes, so the course definitely had more than one lasting effect! Geometry

Pascal sat down with Stefan Lorenz to talk about Scar Cycles, some recent projects and how he came to make his own bikes in his garage. With the HFS high-pivot gearbox prototype bike on show at the recent DT Swiss Craft Bike Days (incl. the very pretty 612 Parts Die Bremse) and a TEBP feature on Pinkbike of Brotlos Design's mpEV01 that he helped bring to life, Stefan's work was front and center at the end of 2022. It was great to hear his perspective on the two very different bikes and how the feedback and discussion in the aftermath help to steer his future projects. We also get the inside view of how he got to make his own frames, the meaning of "Scar", his choice of techniques, materials and styles, the builder community and why we should all try out a gearbox bike. We're stoked to start the year with another "maker" podcast and look forward to sharing many more exciting stories in 2023! As we have done for previous recordings in local dialect (examples here, here, here, here and here), Bryson and Pascal have a quick chat about the highlights of the conversation with Stefan for our English-speaking listeners. If you do understand Swiss-German, you can just skip forward to the main part (starts at ca minute 17).

We sat down with Reto Aebischer to talk about home-made carbon bikes, learning by doing it wrong and his many workshop projects. Starting out with making kiteboards and skis, he quickly progressed to his first carbon road bike and is currently working on the second iteration of his high-pivot enduro bike. And no, unfortunately, you can't pre-order one at this point. Naturally, Reto and his friends also jumped at the opportunity to sign up for Red Bull Flugtag with a self-made "flying machines" and we get to hear the story behind their record attempt - and win! - at the event in Lausanne in 2021. Finally, to fellow Pinkbike users, Reto is known as a thoughtful commenter and forum regular as SleepingAwake and it was great to put a face and voice to a handle that many in the community have stumbled across on the web. Hope you enjoy!

We sat back down with James Drew to talk about the state of the bike industry as we enter 2022 and to catch-up on some of the themes and trends we discussed when we first sat down for Episode 1 almost exactly a year ago. Some of the challenges from last year, like delivery times or parts availability, have unfortunately not subsided and will most likely stay with us for another year. However, 2021 has also been an exciting year for some of the smaller and independent brands that James works with and most of them will look to carry that momentum into 2022. As always, it was interesting to get James' perspective on some of the current trends and developments in the industry. From direct to consumer brands, to sustainability and transparency, setting up your bike business for the future, sales models, to the fun of bikes once they become your job.

Pascal sat down with Greg Kowner, owner of Biroma Bikes, the Bikeschule Zürich as well as, more recently, Biroma BMX. This is the first part of the conversation with Greg where we cover all the ups and downs of running a bike shop in 2020 and the challenges that will most likely stay with us for some time. We picked up on the theme of customisation, something we've covered with James before, and how you can get your dream bike in 2021. Greg and I also discuss tips and tricks for first time buyers, first upgrades, e-bikes and many things more! As we have said from the outset - have a listen to the intro in Episode 1 if you missed it - we wanted to offer a “different take” on the local community here in Switzerland and this episode marks the first time that we are trying to cross the proverbial bridge between our English-speaking, Switzerland-based podcast and just having a conversation with our friends in the local dialect! Bryson and I discuss the main takeaways of the conversation with Greg and provide our own perspectives so that the English speaking listener also gets the overall picture of the conversation. If you do understand Swiss German, you can just listen to the one on one with Greg after our discussion to get the full picture. We've bounced this idea off of a couple of our friends before we went ahead so we are really curious to see if this works. We do know that a good portion of our listeners is tuning in from abroad, so just let us know in the comments, in a message or a quick email what you think!

We sat down with James Drew to talk about what it means to run a business in the bike industry in 2021. James runs Bike the World, a distribution company here in Switzerland that represents some of the most illustrious brands in mountain biking today. James has been involved in the bike business for the better part of two decades and also has the experience and perspective of having worked in markets outside of Switzerland. As we were preparing for this recording and comparing our notes, we realised that there is too much material to cover in a single episode so we have decided to break the topics up into more digestible pieces (part 2, part 3). In Part 1 of the conversation with James, we discuss topics such as: How to make a billion dollars in the bike industry?Key trends, highlights and surprises of 2020 and what they mean for 2021 and beyondWhat makes the Swiss market so different from other markets?Local production, shorter supply chains and the opportunities for smaller brands But before we jumped into the conversation, Bryson and Pascal introduce the Skids & Giggles podcast in a bit more detail and talk about what we have planned.
