What a Spring Solstice!

We are excited, proud, and humbled to announce that The Farm is now representing Mersive Technologies throughout the Western United States. We have been a fond admirer of the Mersive Solstice ecosystem for a long time, and it is going to be exciting to offer a proven wireless solution to The Farm’s portfolio of meeting room solutions.

Starting with the Mersive Solstice Pod, the ecosystem transforms meetings into highly collaborative sessions by allowing multiple users to simultaneously share unlimited content to the meeting room display. Additionally, Mersive leverages the hardware and software solutions you already have. It is a reliable presentation component in your AV infrastructure.

     

Farm Fun Fact #709

Chris Wehba was asked to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Bellevue East Little League season opener. Unfortunately, things went sideways when he was called for a pitch clock violation. He was also denied a post-pitch snow cone.

     

Philips Keeps it Spiffy

A clean looking image.  A nice bezel.  Wait, the other spiffy…the money one.

Yeah, if you are an AV integrator/dealer, and you aren’t getting your spiff on, you probably should.  First, go to www.ppdsrewards.com, then contact your Farm rep for the eligible products/amounts, then get the moneys.  

It’s really that simple. And spiffy.

     

Who's got a folder in your shared drive called “price lists”? If this is you, check out PriceDonkey. PriceDonkey is software that takes all of your price lists and makes one big giant PDF or CSV file out of them.   

You don't have to reformat them. You don't have to delete the strange boxes with terms and conditions. It is simple. Drag it in... tell PriceDonkey which columns you want to keep and boom.

Ultimately, you have a searchable database of everything you might sell. Export it and stick it in your quoting tool, CRM, or just carry it around on a thumb-drive because you can! 

We made this software because we hate importing price lists. We hate it so much we made it our career! Check out this video to learn more!

Is Country Music really just Farm EMO?

Last month 70.4% of our voters believe the correct pluralization for Big Foot is "Big Foots". What a conspiracy.
