CORONAVIRUS INDUSTRY RESPONSE COVID-19 CRäKN eliminates Fees for Remote Software during COVID-19 National Emergency CINCINNATI,OH— On March 19, the President, Founder, and CEO of CRäKN, Scott Mind- rum announced the elim- ination of case fees for their case management tool in a YouTube vid- eo available at https:// youtu.be/uRV_h7qr3nI. This offer applies to every funeral home in North America and extends throughout the duration of the COVID-19 na- tional emergency. CRäKN decided to provide this emergency support so that funeral home owners can con- tinue to provide excellent service to their commu- nities without worrying about their own families and so that their finan- cial futures would be safe during these uncertain times. CRäKN software helps funeral home directors run their businesses in one central location us- ing Vox for tracking contacts, sending noti- fications, and request- ing feedback from fami- lies and using Solvo with its digital GPL, accounts receivable tracking, and one-click statements. The company derived its name from the Krak- en, a Nordic sea monster. Mindrum, who has a Norwegian background, felt that the Kraken rep- resented how funeral di- rectors seemed to need more “arms” to man- age their daily respon- sibilities. The spelling was changed to represent “Customer Relationships and KNowledge,” an im- portant principle of the organization. With CRäKN’s soft- ware, funeral directors can work remotely and collaboratively from the safety of their own homes – anytime, anywhere on any device. This emer- gency support is available to any funeral home re- gardless of whether they serve one family or 1,000 families or if they have two employees or 200 employees. In addition to remov- ing the case fees, CRäKN has also greatly reduced its one-time onboarding fee. This support applies to the software regardless of how many client fami- lies are served, how many people are employed, how many times training is needed, or how long our country faces this pandemic. “We are all getting called to work in place or otherwise keep our dis- tances from others,” says Mindrum in the YouTube video, “Because of the way we built CRäKN, you and your teams can use this tool remotely from the safety and shel- ter of your own homes.” Additionally, the com- pany has set up webinars for funeral directors to obtain immediate infor- mation so that they may continue to serve local families while keeping ev- eryone safe and healthy.
