  • Netguru Launches Silk – A Free Design System Built for Marketplaces and Commerce Products

    Design systems are no longer optional for companies building digital products at scale. With Silk, we wanted to give teams practical foundation they can use immediately.”
    — Kuba Filipowski, CEO at Netguru

    POZNAN, POLAND, March 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Netguru today announced the launch of Silk, a free design system created to help product teams design and ship marketplaces and commerce applications faster while maintaining consistent, scalable user experiences.

    Silk provides a complete toolkit of reusable UI components, design tokens, and documented patterns that allow teams to build digital marketplaces, e-commerce platforms, and B2B commerce products without repeatedly designing core interface elements from scratch.

    Built for both mobile and responsive web, Silk helps designers and developers accelerate product development while keeping user interfaces consistent across complex commerce flows such as product listings, checkout, account management, and catalog browsing.

    #1 Faster product development for marketplace teams

    Marketplace and commerce platforms require teams to move quickly while maintaining a consistent user experience across multiple devices and touchpoints. Silk addresses these needs with ready-to-use components and structured design foundations that help teams build scalable digital products faster.

    The design system includes:
    – 500+ design tokens for color, typography, spacing, and layout
    – Reusable UI components for common commerce interactions such as forms, navigation, and feedback
    – Predefined patterns for commerce flows like product lists, checkout, and account management
    – Built-in documentation, usage guidelines, and integrated Phosphor icons

    These building blocks allow product teams to focus on innovation and user experience instead of rebuilding interface foundations for every project.

    #2 Proven efficiency gains in real projects

    Silk has already been used in production projects, where teams reported significantly faster design workflows and improved collaboration between designers and developers.

    In internal comparisons, projects using Silk reduced setup and prototyping time by up to 50%, enabling faster MVP development and shorter delivery timelines.
    The system’s structured documentation and shared component language also help align product teams and reduce design-to-development friction.

    “Design systems are no longer optional for companies building digital products at scale,” said Kuba Filipowski, CEO and Co-founder of Netguru. “With Silk, we wanted to give teams a practical foundation they can use immediately—especially those building marketplaces and commerce platforms where speed, consistency, and usability directly impact business results.”

    #3 Built for scalability without enterprise complexity

    Unlike large enterprise design systems that require heavy governance and maintenance, Silk was designed to balance flexibility and structure.
    It offers more guidance than a typical UI kit while remaining lightweight and easy to adopt for product teams building marketplace, e-commerce, or B2B applications. Silk can be used out of the box or customized to match brand identity through its token-based architecture.

    #4 AI components coming soon
    Netguru also announced that AI-focused interface components are currently in development for Silk.
    The upcoming release will introduce AI-ready UI patterns designed to help product teams integrate AI-powered features while maintaining consistent product experiences across interfaces.

    “As AI becomes more accessible, user experience will again become the real differentiator,” said Bartosz Białek, Design Director at Netguru. “A well-structured design system like Silk helps teams innovate faster while keeping product experiences coherent and scalable.”
    Direct Availability

    Silk is available today as a free design system for Figma, including component libraries, documentation, and example product screens.

  • Metaview Launches Application Review, the Most Powerful Agent for Inbound Recruiting

    New agent expands Metaview’s platform to review every inbound applicant in real-time, delivering 92% reduction in screening time while maintaining human control

    No one gets into recruiting to be a human spam filter. With Application Review, recruiters can respond at the speed candidates expect without sacrificing quality or burning out their teams.”
    — Siadhal Magos, Co-founder & CEO of Metaview

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Metaview, the AI recruiting platform built for winning talent, today announced the launch of Application Review, an AI-powered agent that reviews and sorts every inbound candidate against hiring teams’ exact standards.

    With inbound applications up 45% year-over-year driven by the AI boom, high-volume recruiting has created a speed crisis. Candidates are applying everywhere, and companies that can’t respond quickly are losing talent to faster competitors.

    The impact is measurable: according to Metaview’s forthcoming AI & Hiring Alignment Report, 67% of companies lose qualified candidates to faster-moving competitors at least monthly. The research reveals that the speed crisis isn’t theoretical. It’s costing companies their best hires every single month.

    “Application Review represents a fundamental shift in how AI should work in recruiting, not as a replacement for human judgment, but as infrastructure that handles operational scale while keeping recruiters focused on what matters: connection and decision-making,” said Siadhal Magos, Co-founder & CEO of Metaview. “No one gets into recruiting to be a human spam filter. With Application Review, recruiters can respond at the speed candidates expect without sacrificing quality or burning out their teams.”

    Application Review solves this by providing continuous review with real-time candidate sorting, all while keeping humans firmly in control of final hiring decisions. Application Review delivers three core capabilities that set it apart from standalone tools:

    • Machine-speed ranking with human judgment: Every applicant is scored against a recruiter’s Ideal Candidate Profile the moment they apply. When hiring criteria change or feedback is given, the entire candidate pool is re-reviewed in minutes. The AI never auto-rejects, recruiters always make the final call, with every decision syncing directly to their ATS.
    • Embedded in existing workflow: Unlike standalone screening products, Application Review is built into the same platform where teams already source, interview, and hire. Accept and reject actions push straight to your ATS with no context-switching or manual data transfer required.
    • Intelligence that compounds across the hiring process: Application Review leverages complete recruiting context—years of interview data, intake calls, and hiring decisions—to build sharper Ideal Candidate Profiles from day one. The system continuously learns from every accept, reject, and piece of feedback, ensuring rankings stay aligned with how teams actually hire, not just what the job description says.

    Early customers report a 92% reduction in screening time and 10x recruiter capacity, allowing teams to manage higher requisition loads without adding headcount. Application Review reviews 100% of candidates, ensuring no high-potential talent falls through the cracks while pre-screening flags low-fit profiles so recruiters can focus on applicants that match their role requirements.

    Metaview’s application review agent is available now for companies using the full platform. Teams can get up and running in minutes with no complex implementation required. Learn more here: metaview.ai/application-review.

    About Metaview
    Founded in 2018 by Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh, Metaview is the AI recruiting platform that helps companies hire faster and more effectively. Companies including Deel, Brex, Wise, Replit, and Affirm use Metaview to automate candidate sourcing, capture structured interview notes, and power data-driven hiring decisions to fill roles 30% faster. Backed by leading investors including Google Ventures, Metaview has raised over $50 million in total funding and is dual headquartered in San Francisco and London.

    “We are proud to partner with Pursuance, an organization that shares our belief that AI, when implemented responsibly, can greatly improve the guest experience while enhancing operations, rather than diminishing them,” said VIVI President Lance Thompson. “Pursuance has defined how sales teams drive revenue through thoughtful, guest-centric connections. By embedding this methodology into VIVI’s AI voice agents, we allow operators to extend their very best performers to every call, every hour of the day, in any language.”

    VIVI is part of Kinetic Solutions Group, with platform design led by Chief Technology Officer Pablo Marin, who spent nearly a decade at Microsoft as a principal AI architect within the retail division.

    “It’s incredibly exciting to see enterprise-grade AI evolve to take on human attributes like listening, nuance, and thoughtful upselling,” said Marin. “Designed with intention, this technology doesn’t feel transactional. Instead, it truly elevates the guest experience while reinforcing the standards luxury brands promise to deliver.”

    Together, VIVI and Pursuance offer luxury operators a practical and sophisticated way to modernize reservations and spa sales, combining human expertise with AI-driven consistency and scale.

  • CyberRidge’s Carmel Platform Named Finalist in 2026 SC Awards for Best Emerging Technology

    Encrypted data is harvested at scale today, where encryption is made stronger in an arms race against growing decryption capabilities. We take a different approach: prevent interception entirely.”
    — Dan Sadot, CEO, CyberRidge

    TELAVIV, ISRAEL, March 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CyberRidge today announced that its Carmel platform has been named a finalist in the 2026 SC Awards in the Best Emerging Technology category.

    Carmel is a post-quantum, harvest-proof security solution. It is the only technology designed to close the “Harvest Gap,” the growing threat that encrypted data that is transmitted over fiber optic cables can be intercepted and compromised today and then stored and decrypted in the future, using quantum computing or other technological breakthroughs.

    Operating at the optical Layer 1 level, Carmel transforms high-speed data-in-transit into optical noise, making it physically unrecordable. With nothing to capture, there is nothing to decrypt, now or ever. This shifts data-in-transit protection away from recordable digital encryption models and toward a physics-based, Layer 1, harvest-proof architecture, marking a true paradigm shift in cybersecurity.

    “Encrypted data is being harvested at scale today,” said Dan Sadot, CEO of CyberRidge. “The industry is trying to make encryption stronger in an arms race against growing decryption capabilities. We take a different approach: prevent interception entirely. This is a paradigm shift, we are undermining the battlefield on the digital domain by disrupting it on the optical domain. By shifting security from digital computational resistance to physics-based prevention, we eliminate the need for long-term liability of recorded data.”

    Carmel is currently deployed in operational intelligence-grade networks and is engaged in active deployments and trials with telecom, government, and critical infrastructure organizations across Europe and Asia.

    The 2026 SC Awards entries were evaluated across 33 specialty categories by a distinguished panel of judges, composed of cybersecurity professionals, industry leaders, and members of the CyberRisk Alliance CISO community. The SC Awards, now in their 29th year, recognize innovation and leadership advancing the practice of cybersecurity. Winners will be announced at RSAC 2026 in San Francisco.

    “The SC Awards celebrate excellence and innovation in cybersecurity, recognizing the people and technologies driving real progress,” said CyberRisk Alliance Chief Content Officer Kelley Damore, Being named a finalist is a mark of credibility and trust – a powerful validation from peers and experts who understand what it takes to deliver real-world security impact.”

    About CyberRisk Alliance (CRA)
    CyberRisk Alliance provides business intelligence that helps the cybersecurity ecosystem connect, share knowledge, accelerate careers, and make smarter and faster decisions. Through its trusted information brands, network of experts, and more than 250 annual events, CRA delivers actionable insights and serves as a powerful extension of cybersecurity marketing teams. Its brands include SC World, the Official Cybersecurity Summits, Identiverse, InfoSec World, CyberRisk Collaborative, Security Weekly, ChannelPro, ChannelE2E, MSSP Alert, ExecWeb, LaunchTech Communications, and CyberRisk TV.

    About CyberRidge
    CyberRidge provides a breakthrough in quantum security by making data-in-transit physically unrecordable. Operating at the physical layer, its Carmel hardware transforms signals into undecipherable optical noise using physics rather than algorithms. It eliminates the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” threat, by making it impossible to intercept and record data. Designed for rapid deployment, it integrates seamlessly into existing DWDM infrastructures with zero added latency.

  • Rezku Showcases Pizza POS and Marketing Tools at the 2026 International Pizza Expo

    New technology helps pizzerias manage delivery complexity, labor pressures, and the growing demand for direct digital ordering

    Operators need technology that simplifies ordering, customization, and delivery workflows rather than adding friction.”
    — Rezku CEO, Paul Katsch

    SACRAMENTO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The lunch rush is in full swing. Phones ring off the hook, online orders stream in, and delivery drivers rush out the door. A server fumbles with a complicated order while the manager tries to keep the kitchen in sync. For many pizzeria owners, balancing digital orders, delivery logistics, and in-store service has become a daily challenge that many POS systems were never designed to handle.

    As independent operators prepare to gather at the 2026 International Pizza Expo, many are taking the opportunity to reassess whether their current point-of-sale systems can keep pace with increasingly complex operations and rising cost pressures.

    Rezku will showcase its pizza-focused POS platform, integrated marketing tools, and online ordering technology at the event beginning March 24, where restaurant operators, suppliers, and technology providers will explore emerging trends shaping the future of pizzeria operations.

    “Pizzerias operate in a uniquely complex environment,” said Paul Katsch, founder and CEO of Rezku. “Operators need technology that simplifies ordering, customization, and delivery workflows rather than adding friction.”

    Many traditional POS systems were not designed for pizza-specific workflows such as split orders, customizable toppings, delivery routing, or real-time kitchen communication. As a result, operators are increasingly exploring purpose-built pizza POS solutions that better align with how modern pizzerias actually operate.

    Direct digital ordering has become an increasingly important revenue driver, and modern restaurant technology is expanding beyond order management to give restaurants greater control of their digital presence. At the Pizza Expo, Rezku will showcase new, intuitive website building tools that allow pizzerias to quickly launch branded restaurant websites optimized for online ordering and customer engagement. Fully integrated with the Rezku POS system, these websites allow guests to seamlessly browse and place orders without requiring operators to juggle multiple platforms.

    Customer communication is another growing focus for pizzerias competing in an increasingly digital marketplace. Industry research shows that SMS marketing campaigns frequently achieve open rates above 90%, far exceeding traditional email marketing. Rezku’s new integrated text marketing tools allow restaurants to send targeted promotions, limited-time offers, and loyalty incentives directly to customers, helping drive repeat visits without relying on additional third-party marketing platforms.

    Delivery operations present yet another challenge: phone orders remain common, but manually entering credit card payments over the phone exposes operators to higher chargeback risk. Rezku will be demonstrating new payment hardware that allows delivery drivers to securely process credit card transactions at the customer’s door, reducing chargeback risk while providing a more seamless delivery experience.

    Rezku’s cloud-based POS platform also provides real-time visibility into sales, labor, and menu performance, giving owners and managers actionable insights to navigate tightening margins and shifting consumer behavior.

    Rezku representatives will be available at Booth #2101 during the 2026 International Pizza Expo to demonstrate the company’s pizza POS technology, marketing tools, and delivery payment solutions, and to connect with operators evaluating their restaurant technology stack for the year ahead.

    About Rezku:
    Founded by former restaurateur Paul Katsch, Rezku is a Sacramento, California–based restaurant point-of-sale company focused on helping independent operators run more efficient and profitable businesses. Rezku’s POS and online ordering platform is designed to support real-world restaurant workflows, with dedicated tools for pizzerias and other high-volume concepts. Learn more at rezku.com.

  • baba Launches Meridian CMS, an AI Translation Pipeline Built for Israeli News Organizations

    The enterprise AI platform translates Hebrew news into six languages through a seven-stage editorial pipeline with built-in quality scoring.

    Meridian CMS is the translation infrastructure Israeli newsrooms have needed. Fast, accurate, editorially safe, and built for Hebrew from day one.”
    — Isaac Horowitz, Founder & CEO of baba

    TEL AVIV, TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, March 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — baba, the AI-powered Hebrew translation platform, today announces the general availability of Meridian CMS, an enterprise-grade AI translation pipeline designed specifically for Hebrew-language news organizations and media publishers that need to reach multilingual global audiences at editorial speed.

    Hebrew translation across Israeli media has long been inadequate. News organizations publishing in Hebrew face a persistent gap when trying to reach readers in Arabic, English, Russian, French, and Spanish — five languages critical to Israel’s diverse population and global readership. General-purpose machine translation fails on political context, proper nouns, journalistic register, and the hedging language that responsible reporting requires. Human translation, while more accurate, cannot keep pace with the volume and speed of a daily news cycle. Meridian CMS was built to close that gap.

    A Seven-Stage AI Pipeline for Publication-Ready Translation

    Meridian CMS processes every article through seven distinct stages: classification of article type and sensitivity, entity extraction for people, places, and organizations, conservative draft translation prioritizing accuracy over fluency, editorial-level enhancement to reach publication quality, source-to-translation accuracy verification, targeted quality refinement, and a final QA check before release. Each translation receives an automated quality score on a 100-point scale. Scores of 90 or above indicate publication-ready output. Scores in the 80s flag articles for light editorial review. Anything below 80 routes to a mandatory editorial queue.

    The platform translates into five languages simultaneously. English, Arabic (Modern Standard), Russian, French and Spanish; with additional languages on the roadmap. Entity consistency is tracked across the entire pipeline, eliminating the spelling inconsistencies that emerge when standard machine translation is applied to daily news volume. A Translation Memory system compounds this over time, reusing approved translations to increase consistency and reduce redundant processing.

    Newsroom-Grade Editorial Safeguards

    Meridian CMS was designed for the specific demands of journalism. Direct quotes remain exact. Attribution language is preserved – “said” stays “said,” “alleged” stays “alleged,” “reportedly” stays “reportedly.” A dedicated hedge word management system tracks and preserves cautious language across translations, preventing the AI from strengthening claims during the translation process. Numbers, dates, names, and statistics are verified against source material at every stage.

    The platform integrates with existing publishing systems and custom CMS solutions through webhooks and a REST API. Organizations can configure per-language behavior to auto-publish translations immediately or hold them in a draft queue for editorial sign-off. A breaking news mode provides single-pass fast translation when speed is critical, while a dedicated social media caption translator handles hashtag preservation, emoji formatting, and platform-appropriate tone.

    “Hebrew translation in Israel is not where it needs to be, especially into the languages that matter most — Arabic, English, Russian, French, and Spanish. These are critical languages for Israeli audiences and for the world reading about Israel. The translations out there are simply not good enough, and not just for news organizations. My goal is for baba to become the primary translation infrastructure for every Israeli enterprise and government organization. Meridian CMS is the first major step toward that.”

  • Vehicle Owners May Be Owed More After an Accident: New Diminished Value Report Reveals Hidden Market Loss

    Professional Market Analysis Brings Clarity to One of the Most Overlooked Parts of Auto Insurance Settlements

    Repairs fix the damage, not the market perception. Inherent Diminished Value reflects how buyers behave in the real world. ”
    — Russ Parsons, Vehicle Value Analysis President

    FORT WORTH, TX, UNITED STATES, March 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — After a vehicle is damaged in an accident, repairs are performed to restore the car’s safety, function and appearance, but many drivers don’t realize that (even after perfect repairs) their vehicle may still be worth less simply because it now carries an accident history. This financial impact is known as Inherent Diminished Value – the measurable difference between what a vehicle was worth before an accident and what it is worth afterward, even after repairs are completed.

    Vehicle Value Experts has launched a new Inherent Diminished Value module within its Vehicle Value Analysis platform, designed to help consumers identify, document and pursue this often-overlooked loss.

    Why does Inherent Diminished Value matter? Market data consistently shows that buyers pay less for vehicles with accident history. Some buyers refuse to purchase previously damaged vehicles altogether, while others demand significant discounts. Accident history can also disqualify vehicles from certain Certified Pre-Owned programs, further affecting resale value.

    “Repairs fix the damage, not the market perception,” explains Russ Parsons, president of Vehicle Value Analysis. “Inherent Diminished Value reflects how buyers behave in the real world. Our goal is to give vehicle owners clear documentation, so they understand their car’s lost value and are armed to file a claim to recover that loss.”

    VVA’s Inherent Diminished Value Report is generated in minutes and is based on real comparable vehicle data. It evaluates pre-accident fair market value, post-repair fair market value, market-based deviation calculations and comparable sales with and without accident history as well as the vehicle’s age, mileage and damage severity. The report includes structured documentation designed for insurance submission, including a diminished value demand letter explaining the percentage of market deviation, pre- and post-accident valuation summaries, VIN Decoder Report, MSRP report, vehicle history documentation and fair market valuation references.

    This data-driven approach replaces guesswork with defensible analysis that can be reviewed by insurers, attorneys or financial stakeholders. A diminished value claim is typically filed with the at-fault party’s insurance carrier after repairs are completed. Without documentation, insurers may minimize or deny these claims.

    The Inherent Diminished Value Report from VVA is designed to help drivers understand whether diminished value applies and quantify the amount of loss while collating supporting documentation which can be used to negotiate from a data-backed position. Eligibility rules vary by state, but in many jurisdictions, diminished value is a recoverable element of property damage.

    While the primary user is the vehicle owner, the Inherent Diminished Value Report also provides value to professionals who support them. Attorneys can use structured valuation reports when addressing the full financial impact of an accident, particularly in cases involving both personal injury and property damage. Lienholders and lenders may use diminished value analysis to evaluate exposure when repossessing vehicles with prior damage, as accident history can affect resale outcomes. Fleet managers and commercial operators can document loss in asset value across company vehicles following collision events.

    The platform also integrates with the Who-Owes-What Portal developed by Claim Transparency Innovations, centralizing property damage documentation and streamlining communication among stakeholders.

    VVA’s Inherent Diminished Value Report provides an easy way for collision repair facilities to educate and support their customers in these situations as well by providing a structured way to explain post-repair market impact without becoming involved in insurance disputes.

    By providing professional documentation, shops can help customers understand why value may still decline after quality repairs, how accident history affects resale pricing and what documentation is needed if they choose to pursue recovery.

    “Collision professionals shouldn’t have to argue claims,” Parsons notes. “But they can help customers understand the financial side of what happens after an accident. This report provides clarity without conflict.”

    Diminished value remains one of the most misunderstood aspects of auto claims. Many drivers assume that once repairs are completed, the financial impact ends there. In reality, accident history can influence trade-in offers, private-party sales and dealer negotiations for years.

    By providing transparent, market-based analysis in a structured, easy-to-understand format, Vehicle Value Analysis aims to give consumers greater visibility into the value their vehicle may have lost – and the documentation needed to take the next step if appropriate.
