  • HonestWaves Accelerates Growth With New Enterprise, Public Sector, and Community Partnerships

    Momentum Driven by Expanded Client Roster Including Toyota, Ohio State University, and Hilton

    SIGNAL HILL, CA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — HonestWaves, a technology company focused on secure device storage and charging solutions for shared environments, today announced a wave of new partnerships and client deployments across enterprise, healthcare, government, education, and nonprofit sectors—marking a period of significant year-over-year revenue growth and accelerating market adoption.

    Over the past year, HonestWaves has achieved strong double-digit year-over-year revenue growth while onboarding a growing roster of enterprise and institutional clients, including Toyota, Ohio State University, and Hilton, alongside continued expansion within logistics, healthcare, libraries, government agencies, and homeless service organizations. The company’s growth reflects increasing demand for reliable, scalable solutions that help organizations manage electronic devices safely and efficiently in high-traffic, high-stakes environments.

    “We’re seeing momentum across every vertical we serve,” said Emily Smith, Founder of HonestWaves. “From global brands to universities to frontline service providers, organizations are recognizing that device access, security, and accountability are no longer optional—they’re operational necessities.”
    Enterprise & Industrial Operations

    At Heidelberg’s distribution center, HonestWaves lockers are supporting modern warehouse operations by securing and charging critical devices used on the floor.

    “Heidelberg’s positive experience with the lockers emphasizes their reliability, easy installation, and effectiveness in modern warehouse operations,” said T.J. Dela Peña, Director of Operations and Special Projects at Heidelberg. “Their ability to securely store, charge, and track equipment enhances productivity and ensures security, making them a smart and practical investment for organizations managing devices in dynamic environments.”

    Healthcare & Public Safety

    Healthcare systems are also adopting HonestWaves’ solutions to support staff and improve operational consistency. At Henry Ford Health, the technology has become an embedded part of daily operations.

    “I have utilized HonestWaves devices for almost a year now,” said L. Booker, Officer, Police Authority, Henry Ford Health. “From day one to what is now a blossoming relationship, customer service has been top tier. I recommend HonestWaves to anyone who will listen.”

    Libraries & Public Spaces

    Public institutions, including libraries, are using HonestWaves to provide equitable access to device charging. The Aurora Public Library recently introduced HonestWaves charging lockers to better serve patrons who rely on mobile devices for work, school, and essential services.

    Government & Emergency Operations

    Federal and regional agencies are deploying custom solutions to support mission-critical workflows. The U.S. Forest Service Northern Rockies Fire Cache implemented a customized charging and storage system to track and secure scan phones during daily operations.

    “It’s been fabulous,” said Cameron Steurer of the Northern Rockies Fire Cache. “Each work lead has their own PIN, so if a phone is missing we know exactly which section it was used in—saving time and eliminating unnecessary searches across the warehouse.”

    Homeless Services & Community Impact

    HonestWaves continues to expand its impact in homeless shelters nationwide, where secure charging access plays a vital role in safety, communication, and dignity. During the winter season, shelters using HonestWaves lockers supported thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness.
    “When you’re experiencing homelessness, finding a place to charge your devices can be a daily challenge,” said Ian A., of The Homeless Alliance. “HonestWaves’ charging locker was a game changer for our shelter guests this winter. We served nearly 3,000 unique guests during our city’s coldest months. Thank you for helping us offer such a valuable service.”

    With expanding deployments across sectors and a growing pipeline of enterprise and institutional partners, HonestWaves plans to continue scaling in 2026, focusing on organizations that require dependable, human-centered device management solutions.

  • 2025 Exposed a New Reality for Drivers as Defects and Tech Issues Shape Lemon Law in 2026

    New 2025 data reveals rising vehicle defects, increased software failures, and lower driver satisfaction, reshaping how lemon law issues may be handled in 2026.

    These trends show how vehicle issues are evolving and how they may be evaluated in the future, requiring defect analysis and legal frameworks to adapt as technology advances”
    — Steven Nassi, Managing Partner at Easy Lemon

    MANHASSET, NY, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As 2025 concluded, multiple industry studies revealed a shift in vehicle ownership experiences across the United States. Data released throughout the year pointed to growing reliability concerns, particularly involving software systems, long-term dependability, and overall consumer satisfaction. Together, these trends suggest a changing landscape for drivers navigating defects and disputes heading into 2026.

    Automakers continued to expand advanced technology features in newer models, while regulatory and legal frameworks evolved to address increasingly complex defect scenarios. Analysts note that the intersection of rising technical failures and consumer dissatisfaction has placed renewed attention on how defects are identified, documented, and resolved under existing lemon law standards.

    Software Reliability Emerges as a Growing Concern

    One of the most notable findings from 2025 centered on in-vehicle software reliability. According to the 2025 J.D. Power U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, software-related issues involving systems such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay rose to 8.4%, up from 6.3% in 2024. Problems included sporadic connectivity failures and total system outages that affected navigation, communication, and media functions.

    While industry observers often position software-driven features as enhancements, their failures can significantly impact daily vehicle usability. Unlike traditional mechanical problems, software defects may be harder to diagnose, replicate, or permanently resolve, particularly when updates and patches are managed remotely or depend on third-party platforms.

    As software becomes more deeply integrated into vehicle operations, questions surrounding documentation, repair attempts, and manufacturer responsibility have grown more prominent. In many cases, unresolved software malfunctions may fall within the scope of covered defects under lemon law, particularly when repeated repair efforts fail to restore normal functionality.

    Dependability Reaches Its Lowest Point in Over a Decade

    Beyond software concerns, overall vehicle dependability declined sharply in 2025. The findings indicate that vehicles at the three-year ownership mark experienced a measurable increase in reported issues, marking the lowest dependability level since 2009. The study further reported a 6% year-over-year decline compared to 2024.

    The reported problems spanned multiple categories, including infotainment systems, electrical components, driver assistance technologies, and traditional mechanical parts. Analysts have linked the decline to increased production complexity, supply chain disruptions from prior years, and the rapid rollout of new technologies without extended long-term testing.

    For drivers, lower dependability often translates into more frequent service visits, extended repair timelines, and uncertainty about long-term ownership costs. These conditions have renewed attention on how repeated issues are evaluated when determining whether a lemon law claim may be applicable under state and federal guidelines.

    Driver Satisfaction Declines Amid Rising Costs and Reliability Issues

    Consumer sentiment reflected these reliability challenges. According to the 2025 American Customer Satisfaction Index Automobile Study, overall driver satisfaction declined by 1%, resulting in a Customer Satisfaction Score of 79. The study attributed the decline largely to rising ownership costs, ongoing reliability concerns, and frustration with unresolved defects.

    Researchers observed that technology performance and repair experiences significantly impacted satisfaction scores. While consumers continue to value advanced features, tolerance for recurring malfunctions has decreased as repair costs and downtime increase.

    This erosion in satisfaction has broader implications for dispute resolution and legal processes. As drivers become more aware of their rights and more attentive to recurring issues, legal professionals expect continued scrutiny of manufacturer responses and repair obligations. In this environment, guidance from a lemon law attorney is increasingly shaped by technical documentation, repair histories, and evolving interpretations of defect thresholds.

    Legal and Industry Implications Heading Into 2026

    The convergence of increased defects, declining dependability, and lower satisfaction suggests that lemon law considerations may play a larger role in the automotive landscape in 2026. Legal analysts emphasize that modern defect cases often involve layered issues, combining mechanical failures with software malfunctions and electronic system errors.

    We expect manufacturers, regulators, and consumer advocates to persist in scrutinizing the application of existing laws to advanced vehicle systems. At the same time, industry experts anticipate increased emphasis on transparency, repair documentation, and standardized approaches to resolving long-term reliability concerns.

    As data from 2025 continues to inform policy discussions and legal interpretations, the year ahead is likely to bring further clarification on how modern vehicle defects are addressed under lemon law standards. The developments highlight a broader shift in vehicle ownership, as technology, dependability, and consumer expectations increasingly converge.

  • Secuvy Names Ed Lingo Vice President of Engineering as Enterprises Race to Deploy AI at Scale

    New engineering leader accelerates Secuvy’s mission to solve the hardest data challenges enterprises face before their AI applications can go live.

    The bottleneck for enterprise AI isn’t compute — it’s fragmented, ungoverned data. Secuvy is purpose-built to solve that, and I’m here to make sure the platform scales as fast as the problem demands.”
    — Ed Lingo, VP of Engineering, Secuvy

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Secuvy, a Data Intelligence Platform that provides trusted “data on your data” for enterprise AI effectiveness, today announced that Ed Lingo has joined the company as Vice President of Engineering.

    Ed Lingo brings over three decades of engineering leadership to the role — most recently as Technical Co-Founder at Sonans AI, and before that at Cognomotiv, where he built real-time AI systems for connected and autonomous vehicles. He was at NetResults Corp rising from Director of Technology to VP Engineering, and holds a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley.

    This bolstering of the Secuvy Engineering team is perfect timing to continue Secuvy’s mission of solving every organization’s three inescapable challenges when it comes to deploying AI. The first is ensuring that all data feeding each AI application is appropriate — continuously classified and governed against security, privacy, compliance, and regulatory guidelines before a model ever sees it. The second is ensuring the full processing stack operates efficiently for each application at scale. The third is getting results in time, to keep pace with both the security and efficiency needs of a growing demand for AI-powered workflows.

    Secuvy uniquely addresses all three with the burden on teams, at the lowest TCO, and in the fastest time to results.

    And through its newly announced partnership with Hammerspace — the high-performance data platform for AI across on-premises and cloud — Secuvy and partners now provide a complete “Data-First” foundation that turns raw, distributed data into secure AI outcomes without forcing enterprises to rearchitect their existing infrastructure.

    “Every AI application has one prerequisite that almost no organization solves before deployment: ensuring the data it uses is appropriate data — continuously classified and governed against every data protection and enterprise AI use case that matters,” said Mike Seashols, CEO of Secuvy. “Secuvy gives you the knowledge of your data, across every environment, so you can trust what you’re feeding your AI before you build on it. With Ed leading engineering, we now have the team to deliver at the pace enterprises are moving.”

    “What drew me to Secuvy is the clarity of the problem and the strength of the solution,” said Ed Lingo, VP of Engineering at Secuvy. “Enterprises are sitting on data they can’t fully see, classify, or trust for AI. Secuvy changes that. The timing is right and the platform is ready to scale.”

    With Lingo leading engineering, Secuvy is positioned to extend its platform at the speed enterprises demand — helping organizations move from fragmented, ungoverned data estates to AI-ready infrastructure they can deploy with confidence.

    About Secuvy

    Secuvy is a Data Intelligence Platform that provides data security posture management (DSPM) for unstructured data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Secuvy discovers and classifies sensitive data using AI-driven analysis, assesses exposure and access risk, and delivers continuous visibility and governance controls to help organizations reduce risk and maintain compliance.

  • Nonprofit Leader Launches Two Apps to Assess Donor Emotional Alignment and Propensity

    donorassess.org and transactandtransform.org deliver the relational intelligence the sector has never had — and now urgently needs

    Donors don’t want to be managed. They want to be seen. When a nonprofit starts treating a donor like a partner in a shared mission rather than a line item in a budget, everything changes. Everything.”
    — Mark Dobosz

    NORWALK, CT, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Seven out of ten first-time donors never give again. First-year retention has collapsed to 19%. Just 3% of donors now supply 78% of all charitable dollars. The numbers are alarming. But the cause is not mysterious: for decades, the nonprofit sector has been treating donors like transactions — and donors have been quietly walking away.

    Mark Dobosz has spent 40 years watching it happen. Now he is doing something about it.

    Dobosz — a veteran fundraising practitioner who has raised more than $100 million and currently serves as Vice President of Philanthropy at Mozaic Senior Life in Connecticut — has launched two assessment platforms designed to move nonprofits out of the transactional model that is driving donors away, and into the transformational model that builds lasting philanthropic partnerships.

    The platforms are donorassess.org and transactandtransform.org. They are available now.

    THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE ECONOMY. IT IS THE CULTURE.
    Donors today are not giving less because they have less. High-net-worth household giving is actually up. They are giving less — and leaving — because too many organizations have conditioned them to feel like little more than a funding source. The appeal arrives. The receipt follows. Then silence, until the next appeal. No relationship. No partnership. No sense that their values, vision, and identity as a philanthropist matter to anyone.

    “Donors do not want to be managed. They want to be seen. The moment a nonprofit starts treating a donor like a partner in a shared mission rather than a line item in a budget, everything changes — retention, gift size, loyalty, referrals. Everything.” — Mark Dobosz

    The data from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project confirms what practitioners already sense: this is not a temporary dip. It is a structural crisis rooted in organizational culture — and it will not be solved by better CRM software or more urgent year-end appeals.

    THE TWO TOOLS
    donorassess.org — Donor Readiness Intelligence
    Wealth screening tells organizations who can give. donorassess.org tells them who is ready. The platform measures six dimensions of a donor’s emotional and relational readiness — values alignment, relational trust, vision resonance, philanthropic identity, and more — identifying the right moment for the right conversation. Gift officers who approach the right person at the wrong time do not just miss the gift. They risk the relationship. donorassess.org closes that gap.

    transactandtransform.org — Organizational Culture Diagnostic
    Even the best gift officers cannot sustain transformational donor relationships inside a transactional culture. transactandtransform.org diagnoses whether a nonprofit’s internal environment is structurally capable of the relational fundraising its donors require — or whether cultural patterns are quietly eroding the retention work happening at the front line. The diagnostic gives leadership a clear picture of where their organization stands, and a roadmap for change.

  • InfusaLounge Integrative & Functional Medicine Now Offers EPIC Upper Cervical Alignment to Patients in Allen, Texas

    Nearly 80% of adults have undetected upper cervical misalignment. InfusaLounge now offers the only precision correction system of its kind in Collin County.

    ALLEN, TX, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — InfusaLounge Integrative & Functional Medicine — formerly known as InfusaLounge Wellness Spa, located at 190 E Stacy Rd #1720 in Allen, Texas — has expanded its integrative health offerings with the full installation of the EPIC Upper Cervical alignment system, now available to patients across Allen, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and the greater North Dallas region.

    EPIC is a precision neurological care system developed by Dr. Stan Pierce, DC — a fourth-generation chiropractor whose family has been at the forefront of spinal alignment science for over 130 years. Unlike conventional chiropractic, EPIC uses digital X-ray imaging, three-dimensional biomechanical analysis, and spinal alignment software to create a fully customized correction vector for each patient — calibrated to within a hundredth of a degree. The correction itself is delivered using a gentle sound wave instrument with no twisting, cracking, or manual manipulation of any kind.

    The system targets the atlas, the topmost vertebra of the spine, which surrounds the brainstem and sits adjacent to the internal jugular vein. Research cited by Dr. Pierce indicates that nearly 80% of people have some degree of head-to-neck misalignment without knowing it. When the atlas is out of position, it can compress that vein, restrict cerebrospinal fluid drainage, and interfere with neurological signaling throughout the body, contributing to conditions including migraines, chronic pain, dizziness, tinnitus, brain fog, and reduced physical and cognitive performance.

    Patient results have been striking. Michael, a 62-year-old Allen-area resident who suffered from excruciating back pain and constant tinnitus for fifteen years — unable to stand for more than five minutes — reported after a single EPIC correction: “I can stand up straight and I can hear. I think clearer, I’m more focused, and I just feel better.” Maria, a patient who traveled from Sweden specifically for EPIC care, reported significant restoration of hip mobility after two visits. Jan, a patient who has multiple sclerosis and had experienced significant difficulty with speech and articulation, reported a dramatic improvement after one adjustment — and also canceled a previously scheduled shoulder surgery because that condition resolved as well.

    EPIC at InfusaLounge is led by Dr. Carol Richard, DC, the on-site primary treating provider personally selected by Dr. Pierce from among the practitioners he has trained across three universities over twenty years. The addition of EPIC is a natural extension of InfusaLounge’s integrative and functional medicine care model — which spans integrative therapies in Allen, TX including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, NAD+ infusions, IV nutrient therapy, peptide therapy, and advanced diagnostics under the oversight of Medical Director Dr. Phyllis Gee, MD, FACOG.

    The addition of EPIC is a natural extension of InfusaLounge’s root-cause philosophy. Dr. Pierce is direct about what drives chronic decline: “People are suffering and declining in their health, thinking it’s part of normal aging to decline, but it’s not.” And he is equally direct about how EPIC works: “You don’t need to believe us. I prefer when people don’t believe me. I prefer when they see the data, see the changes, and know how they got the results.” Proper atlas alignment optimizes blood flow and neurological conductivity, supporting the effectiveness of every adjunct therapy the clinic provides.

  • Arizona’s Community-Serving Organizations Can Now Offer Free, FDIC-Insured Banking to the People They Serve

    The Tech4Equity Project opens enrollment to qualifying Arizona organizations—making its public debut at the Arizona Commerce Authority’s inaugural AZ Tech Week

    What we kept hearing from community leaders across Arizona was the same thing—financial instability was undermining everything they were working to build, and they had no practical way to address it.”
    — Andre Christian, Executive Director, The Tech4Equity Project

    PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Nearly one in five Arizonans is unbanked or underbanked. That is not a statistic to file away. It is a daily reality—costing affected households an estimated $2,400 or more each year in fees just to access their own money. Research from the Financial Health Network indicates that financially vulnerable households spend an average of 16% of their income on interest and fees—compared to just 1% for financially healthy households. It falls hardest on low-income workers, people of color, tribal community members, immigrants, seniors on fixed incomes, and people with disabilities. Its consequences show up inside every community-serving organization in Arizona—as turnover, as disengagement, as populations that cannot fully benefit from the very services built to help them.

    The Tech4Equity Project was founded to change that.

    A New Category of Community Infrastructure

    The Tech4Equity Project is a statewide Community Impact Initiative that enables qualifying Arizona organizations to extend no-cost, FDIC-insured financial tools directly to their employees and program participants—backed by state-of-the-art fintech systems and FDIC-insured banking partners providing federal deposit protection.

    The initiative is entirely opt-in and carries no cost to organizations or participants. No hidden fees. No marketing directed at participants. No obligations attached to participation. What it does provide is something most community organizations have never had—a ready-built path to financial inclusion for the people they serve.

    The no-cost model is funded through optimized interchange revenue generated when debit cards are used—a portion of which supports program sustainability and community reinvestment. This structure mirrors the economics already present in mainstream banking, but redirects value toward community benefit rather than institutional profit. Organizations do not pay. Participants do not pay. Participant data is never sold or shared for commercial purposes. Ever.

    What Participants Receive—At No Cost

    Qualifying organizations can offer participants access to:

    • FDIC-insured transaction accounts and virtual or physical debit cards

    • PayAnyDay—earned wage access providing eligible staff access to up to 50% of earned wages between pay periods—with no interest and no required fees. Funds are available immediately, helping bridge the gap without predatory borrowing.

    • Bill Pay and SendPay—allowing participants to pay utility bills, send money, and manage essential financial transactions digitally, eliminating costly trips, missed work, and childcare barriers

    • Digital banking tools and mobile access designed for modern workforce needs

    • Dramatically reduced reliance on check-cashing services, credit cards, and payday lenders

    Why This Matters to Organizational Leadership

    Arizona’s nonprofit executives, tribal administrators, municipal leaders, healthcare directors, school administrators, and faith community leaders are managing organizations under extraordinary pressure. Here is what participating organizations gain—at no cost:

    • Reduced workforce financial stress and improved retention—without restructuring compensation.

    • Stronger program outcomes. Removing financial instability barriers strengthens the impact of work already being delivered.

    • A credible, no-cost answer to a gap most organizations acknowledge but cannot solve alone.

    • Alignment with social determinants commitments that funders and accrediting bodies are increasingly demanding.

    “What we kept hearing from community leaders across Arizona was the same thing—financial instability was undermining everything they were working to build, and they had no practical way to address it. That’s exactly the gap this initiative was designed to close. We’re giving trusted organizations the tools to do something about it right now, and it costs them nothing.” — Andre Christian, Executive Director, The Tech4Equity Project

    Who Qualifies

    The initiative is open to Arizona-based, community-facing organizations with 50 or more employees, volunteers, or program participants—including nonprofits, tribal governments and enterprises, municipalities, community health centers, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, and community action and housing agencies.

    To ensure the initiative reaches the populations it was designed to serve, organizations are reviewed for alignment with its community-impact mission. Implementation integrates with existing operations regardless of size, geography, or infrastructure—including organizations serving rural and remote communities.

    For participants, enrollment is open to individuals 16 and older with no credit checks. The initiative is designed to serve those historically turned away by traditional banking—and because enrollment leverages identity verification processes already familiar to participating organizations (such as Know Your Customer), most participants are approved without the barriers they have faced elsewhere. Standard program services carry no fees—ever. Optional expedited services may carry disclosed fees, but are never required and the core program remains completely free. For organizations, there is no financial liability for participant accounts. Full implementation support is provided from day one.

    The Cost of Waiting

    The families absorbing the cost of financial exclusion are the same ones walking through the doors of Arizona’s community organizations every single day—looking for exactly the kind of help the Tech4Equity Project now makes possible to provide. Every year without action is another year of fees paid, savings never built, and opportunity deferred for people who can least afford it.

    Enrollment is open now. Visit 4equity.tech to learn more and determine eligibility.

  • Kanerika Debuts Two Native Microsoft Fabric Workloads at FabCon 2026

    Kanerika’s two proprietary solutions, Karl, AI Data Insights Agent, & Azure to Fabric Migration Accelerator, are now available as Microsoft Fabric workloads.

    Enterprises want outcomes inside the systems they already use. Making our IP available as Fabric workloads means our customers can move faster without adding complexity to their stack.”
    — Bhupendra Chopra, Co-Founder & CRO, Kanerika

    TEXAS, TX, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Kanerika has launched two proprietary solutions as native Microsoft Fabric workloads at FabCon 2026 — Karl, an AI Data Insights Agent, and the Azure to Fabric Migration Accelerator, powered by FLIP. Both are now accessible directly from any Microsoft Fabric workspace.

    The launch coincides with Kanerika being featured in the Fabric Certification Spotlight at FabCon 2026 in Atlanta, which is underway right now — a recognition reserved for partners that demonstrate deep technical investment in the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem.

    Karl helps business users explore enterprise data through natural language, without writing queries or relying on data teams. The Azure to Fabric Migration Accelerator is built on FLIP — Kanerika’s AI-powered workflow automation platform — and automates the migration of Azure Data Factory and Synapse pipelines to Microsoft Fabric. Together, they address the two most persistent barriers to Fabric adoption: the complexity of migrating from Azure environments, and the gap between enterprise data and the business users who need to act on it.

    “Organizations should not have to choose between modernization speed and data accessibility,” said Samidha Garud, Co-founder and CEO of Kanerika. “These solutions combine Agentic AI and intelligent automation to simplify Microsoft Fabric adoption while helping enterprises unlock measurable value from their data.”

    – Two Workloads Addressing the Biggest Challenges in Microsoft Fabric Adoption

    Most enterprises approaching Microsoft Fabric run into the same two walls. The first is technical: Azure Data Factory and Synapse pipelines can’t simply be moved across — dependencies need resolving, logic needs converting, and transformations need validating before anything goes live. The second is organizational: even after data lands in Microsoft Fabric, business teams still queue requests to analysts for every insight they need.

    The Azure to Fabric Migration Accelerator, powered by FLIP, eliminates the first wall by automating what typically consumes months of engineering effort. Organizations using the Migration Accelerator have reported 80% faster migration timelines, 50% lower migration costs, and 65% fewer resources required.

    Karl overcomes the second limitation — the analyst bottleneck that slows down every data-driven decision — by letting any business user query enterprise data directly through natural language, without writing a single line of code. Across deployments, Karl has delivered 65% time savings on data analysis, 5X faster delivery of business insights, and 78% increase in team efficiency.

    – Fabric Certification Spotlight: Global Recognition at FabCon 2026

    Alongside the product launches, Kanerika was featured in the Fabric Certification Spotlight — recognition that reflects the company’s sustained technical investment in the Fabric ecosystem. With 100+ Microsoft Fabric certified engineers globally, Kanerika brings the expertise and delivery scale required to implement and modernize complex enterprise data platforms on Fabric.

  • Parcel Tracker Evolves from Parcel Logging Software to Agent-Based Logistics Platform Powered by Hybrid AI

    Parcel Tracker launches an AI-native logistics platform combining edge AI and cloud LLMs to automate enterprise goods receiving and internal operations.

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — March 2026, Parcel Tracker announced the launch of an AI-native logistics platform designed to automate enterprise goods receiving and internal logistics operations. The platform improves the company’s parcel logging software with an agent-based system that combines edge AI and cloud-based large language models (LLMs) to execute logistics workflows automatically.

    The system goes beyond traditional OCR. On-device neural networks extract parcel label data in sub-second time. Cloud LLMs interpret that data, identifying urgency, extracting weight metadata, filling forms automatically, and flagging recipients not yet in the system.

    The result is structured, actionable data without manual handling.

    The platform supports two operational modes. In human-in-the-loop mode, AI surfaces decisions for staff approval. In agentic mode, it acts autonomously by prioritising urgent parcels, routing items by weight, and completing workflows without human input.

    Both modes run within the same framework, giving operations teams control over how much they automate.

    “Most logistics software records what happens. Ours decides what to do next. Edge AI gives us speed in environments where connectivity isn’t guaranteed. Cloud LLMs give us context. The goal is to embed intelligent agents directly inside workflows so that logistics teams spend less time logging data and more time managing operations.” – Arthur Zargaryan, Co-Founder & CEO, Parcel Tracker

    The platform is enterprise-ready today. It ships with full cloud support and security standards built for large-scale deployment. Over time, models will be distilled to run directly on mobile devices, reducing infrastructure overhead and increasing edge processing speed.

    The long-term vision is an internal logistics operating system with AI embedded into every operational workflow.

    Enterprise availability is expected beginning in Q2 2026. For more information, visit [parceltracker.com] or contact info@parceltracker.com.

    About Parcel Tracker

    Parcel Tracker is an enterprise logistics technology company focused on modernising internal goods receiving and parcel management operations. The platform combines computer vision, edge AI, and cloud-based intelligence to automate parcel processing, streamline logistics workflows, and improve operational visibility for high-volume environments.

  • UK Startup, Naya AI, Deploys AI Sales Workers for SMBs

    Sheffield startup has built an agentic sales platform that responds to leads in under 60 seconds and follows up 12 times across voice, SMS, and email

    Naya is built for every business that cannot afford a sales team, but cannot afford to keep losing leads either.”
    — Possible Etumnu, Co-Founder and CEO

    SHEFFIELD, UNITED KINGDOM, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Every day, UK small businesses lose revenue to a problem they rarely name correctly. They blame slow markets. They blame competitors. The real culprit is silence.

    85% of callers who reach voicemail never try again. 80% of sales happen only after a 5th to 12th contact attempt, yet 90% of business owners give up after the first. The result is over £100,000 in lost revenue per SMB per year—not to better competition, but to no response at all.

    Naya AI was built to end that.

    The average UK SMB takes 42 hours to respond to a lead. Naya responds in under 60 seconds.

    THE MISTAKE MOST GROWING BUSINESSES ARE MAKING
    Picture a kitchen company spending £5,000 a month on Google Ads. The leads come in. The owner is on a job. Three hours later they call back. The lead has already moved on. The ad budget is still spent.

    Or a solar company with 200 uncontacted leads in a spreadsheet from the past six weeks. They intend to follow up. There is simply never a moment when delivering today’s work and chasing last month’s leads happen simultaneously.

    This is not a time management problem. It is an infrastructure problem. Almost every CRM, email tool and voice platform on the market assumes someone will be available to manage the process. For the vast majority of UK small businesses, that person does not exist.

    The leads are there. The problem is the system . . . or the lack of one.

    AN AI SALES DEPARTMENT, LIVE IN 10 MINUTES
    Naya deploys autonomous AI workers that handle prospecting, lead enrichment, outreach, qualification, follow-up and appointment booking across voice, SMS and email – simultaneously, without human intervention, around the clock.

    The moment a lead arrives from an ad, form or integration, Naya contacts them within 60 seconds. MIT research confirms that responding within 5 minutes produces a 100x higher contact rate and 21x higher conversion rate. Most businesses never hit that window. Naya never misses it. For existing lead banks, a single upload puts every contact into an automated, personalised outreach sequence that runs continuously until each lead books, opts out, or is disqualified.

    Naya is live in 10 minutes with no code. Users specify what they are selling. The AI—trained on 400 hours of real high-ticket sales call data including objection handling, BANT qualification and conversion psychology—handles the rest.

    “I spent years as a high-ticket closer watching enterprise sales systems generate $80,000 to $100,000 a month,” said Possible Etumnu, Co-Founder and CEO at Naya AI. “Then I watched SMB clients lose those same leads to silence. Naya is what I built to fix that—for every business that cannot afford a sales team but cannot afford to keep losing leads either.”

    BUILT DIFFERENT
    Naya’s text-to-speech and speech-to-text models run on dedicated H100 GPU servers on its own infrastructure—no dependency on external voice providers, no third-party concurrency ceiling, sub-800ms latency. Before any call is made, the platform researches and enriches each prospect in real time. A human SDR handles 20 to 40 researched calls a day. Naya handles hundreds simultaneously. Every interaction feeds back into a self-learning model that automatically improves conversion rates over time.

    COMPLIANCE BUILT IN
    In February 2024, the FCC ruled that AI-generated voice calls fall under TCPA, making compliance mandatory for every AI voice platform in the US. TCPA class actions surged 95% year-on-year in 2025. In the UK, the ICO fined energy companies £550,000 in late 2025 for AI calls made without proper consent under PECR. Most platforms leave compliance to the customer. Naya scrubs every call against the US National Do Not Call Registry and UK TPS/CTPS registries in real time, and honours opt-out requests instantly. All data is hosted on Google Cloud Platform with European data residency and ISO 27001 certification.

    WHO NAYA IS FOR
    Any business generating more inbound leads than it can respond to, or sitting on a database of contacts that have never been properly worked. Home services, solar, agencies, recruiters, e-commerce – the sector does not matter. The lead volume does.

    Naya AI (Naya Systems Ltd, Co. No. 16665484) is an agentic sales execution platform founded in Sheffield, England in August 2025.
