PHILOSHOPERS now present on Instagram!

Posted on 23/03/2023 by Admin 4

With over 1.3 billion users, Instagram has undeniably become massively popular, especially among younger generations. For many, it has become a way of life, involving capturing, editing, and sharing creative pictures and short videos with text captions. Engaging with friends, family, co-workers, and groups through Instagram turns into a daily habit. Numerous brands and large companies use Instagram as well, either as an effective marketing tool or a platform to connect and engage with their audience.

While the company maintains pages on the web, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, our young and dynamic team of PHILOSHOPERS came up with the idea to expand our digital presence on Instagram in a different, more casual manner – the launch of an instagram page under the company brand, managed by the team, for the team! Some of our team members are already enthusiastic Instagram users or content creators through their personal pages, so a staff-driven page brings am extra element of fun to our workplace.

The content on this page will be exclusively created by volunteer PHILOSHOPERS, revolving around moments from our team’s life at work. The objective is to capture moments in a more creative and engaging way than simply taking pictures, not only to serve as our memories of our life at work but to also engage with remote co-workers from the team, customers and business partners or even give a glimpse of how it feels to work at PHILOSHOPIC for new hires or applicants aiming to join the team.

Today, the PHILOSHOPIC Instagram page goes live! Not as a company managed page but as a page managed directly by team members. The content will not be monitored by the company, though all content creators have committed to obtaining the consent of anyone featured in pictures or videos as well as protect any company or customer confidential information.

Please feel free to follow our new PHILOSHOPIC Instagram page, engage and interact with our team and share your thoughts! Hopefully whilst busy delivering great solutions to our customers, the team shall post regularly what goes on behind-the-scenes at PHILOSHOPIC. Stay tuned!

Every year at PHILOSHOPIC we have a Kick-off event to reflect on last years performance, celebrate accomplishments and align the team around the objectives and targets for the year. This year, the company organised a 2-day trip to Kalopanayiotis on the 25-26 February, with various events planned, including seminars, brainstorm sessions, board game challenges, lovely food, nature walks, fun in the snowy Troodos mountains, and quality time together as a team including our partners in life. The process started with pre-kick off sessions in our office the week before and some post-event activities the following 2 weeks.

The 2023 Kick-Off event was a great opportunity to come together, reinforce the company’s culture and team spirit, and develop momentum to achieve the goals set for 2023. Every PHILOSHOPER had the opportunity to contribute to sessions around improving our processes as well as to learn on our solutions roadmaps, the key wins we had in the previous years and the main areas we shall focus in 2023. For the first time, we all had the opportunity to be accompanied by our partners in life and kids, realizing the vast diversity of our extended work-family in terms of nationalities!

After 2 days filled with work and fun related activities each PHILOSHOPER remains committed to serve our customers, expand our portfolio and be more productive and fun while at work. A post-event survey will provide guidance on what to keep and what to improve in future kick-off events where we expect to have new PHILOSHOPERS joining and more customer successes to share! The entire team is grateful for what we have achieved together in 2022 and excited for 2023 and what it can bring to our team, our customers and each PHILOSHOPER’s professional development!

Saudi retailers trust PHILOSHOPIC to comply with ZATCA eInvoicing mandate

When new regulations are in place, the challenge is to comply without reducing value and without missing the focus to the core business. It is thus important to rely on solutions that can meet all the requirements, are cost effective and can be implemented on time with the minimum impact and stress to the organisation.

January 1st has marked the beginning of the 2^nd phase of ZATCA eInvoicing mandate for retailers in Saudi Arabia with more than 4bn of SAR revenue required to comply.

After investing for the past few months to build a solution that can meet the demanding requirements of ZATCA and enable retailers to comply, we are excited to welcome the first users of the PHILOBROKER ZATCA eInvoicing solution.

Some of these are existing users of PHILOSHOPIC solutions while others are using our solutions for the first time. Common to all is that they trusted our team’s professionalism and worked closely together to meet the objectives. The journey for compliance is though not static. The ZATCA requirements and platform are still under finetuning thus we remain committed to work closely with our partners and users on an ongoing basis. At the same time, we are looking forward to welcome more users in Q3 when a new wave of retailers will be requested to start their compliance journey.
