Sadie AI and Payfacto Partner to Embed Voice Automation Across Leading Restaurant POS Platforms

MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC – 24/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Restaurant operators seeking to modernize phone ordering workflows will soon have access to an integrated AI-driven solution, as Sadie AI and Payfacto announce a strategic technology partnership. The collaboration embeds Sadie AI’s voice automation platform directly into Payfacto’s restaurant point-of-sale ecosystem, enabling seamless phone-in pickup ordering across multiple POS environments.

Through the integration, Sadie AI’s voice ordering technology will operate natively within Maître’D Classic, Veloce, and Virtuo POS systems. The solution is designed to automatically answer inbound calls, capture and confirm pickup orders, and inject order details directly into the POS workflow—eliminating manual re-entry and reducing the likelihood of errors.

Despite the rise of online ordering platforms, phone orders remain a significant revenue channel for restaurants. However, during peak dining hours, staff often struggle to manage ringing phones alongside in-person service demands. Missed calls, extended hold times, and transcription errors can result in lost revenue and diminished guest satisfaction. By automating the phone channel, Sadie AI aims to ensure that every call is answered promptly and processed accurately without disrupting front-of-house operations.

Stuart Lachovsky, VP of Partnerships at Sadie AI, noted that phone ordering continues to be one of the most operationally challenging channels for hospitality businesses. He stated that the direct integration with Payfacto’s POS platforms—including Maître’D Classic, Veloce, and Virtuo—enables restaurants to safeguard revenue while improving order accuracy and workflow efficiency.

From an operational perspective, the integration offers several immediate advantages: guaranteed call coverage during busy periods, improved data accuracy through automated order capture, and a streamlined process that requires no additional hardware installations or major procedural changes.

Steven Raymond, Vice President, Sales PAY/POS North America at Payfacto, commented that the partnership enhances Payfacto’s POS portfolio by adding intelligent voice capabilities designed to address real-world hospitality challenges. He emphasized that the combined solution improves both staff productivity and the overall guest ordering experience.

Live Demonstration at RC Show Canada

The Virtuo POS integration will be demonstrated live at RC Show Canada in Toronto from March 8–10, 2026. Attendees visiting Booth 5031 will see a working Kitchen Display Unit (KDU) environment, illustrating how voice-generated orders move in real time from front-of-house interactions to back-of-house preparation systems.

The showcase will provide restaurant operators with a firsthand look at how Sadie AI functions within the POS environment, highlighting end-to-end automation from call handling to kitchen fulfillment. The demonstration underscores both companies’ commitment to delivering practical, innovation-driven solutions for hospitality businesses.

Foundation Software Introduces FOUNDATION Pay Bill Pay to Streamline Contractor Vendor Payments

STRONGSVILLE, OHIO – 22/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – A new vendor payment solution has entered the construction technology landscape as contractors continue seeking ways to manage financial operations more efficiently across multiple active projects. Foundation Software has announced the launch of FOUNDATION Pay Bill Pay, a service designed to help construction firms centralize and automate vendor payment processes while reducing administrative complexity.

In construction environments where project timelines, subcontractor coordination, and financial oversight must be balanced simultaneously, manual payment workflows can introduce delays and risk. Bill Pay addresses these challenges by enabling users to select invoice batches directly within FOUNDATION®, the company’s construction accounting platform, with payment processing managed as part of the integrated service. The system also assumes responsibility for certain payment-related liabilities, such as lost checks, and automatically distributes remittance advice following completed transactions.

According to the company, the addition of Bill Pay provides several operational advantages, including helping contractors ensure vendors are paid on time to minimize disputes and project slowdowns, offering clearer visibility into cash flow, and supporting vendor-preferred payment methods to strengthen business relationships.

Company Chief Executive Officer Mike Ode noted that payment management continues to be a common operational burden for contractors managing complex project portfolios. He indicated that the introduction of Bill Pay is intended to provide construction teams with greater clarity and control over outgoing payments, allowing staff to focus more on project execution rather than administrative processes.

Bill Pay is part of the broader FOUNDATION Pay platform, which includes digital financial management tools such as Corporate Card and Online Payments designed to simplify both accounts payable and accounts receivable functions within construction organizations.

The Bill Pay service is now available as part of the FOUNDATION Pay expense and payment management suite.

Foundation Software, LLC

Alloy.ai and LiftLab Form Strategic Alliance to Deliver Real-Time, SKU-Level Marketing ROI Insights

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 19/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As consumer brands face mounting pressure to justify marketing spend with measurable business outcomes, two data-driven platforms are joining forces to close one of the industry’s most persistent visibility gaps. Alloy.ai and LiftLab have announced a strategic partnership designed to give brands a unified, real-time understanding of how advertising investments translate into both e-commerce and in-store sales performance.

For years, brands operating across wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels have struggled to connect paid media investments with actual retail outcomes—particularly at the store and SKU level. The newly formed partnership addresses this disconnect by combining real-time retail point-of-sale (POS) data with advanced full-funnel media measurement capabilities. The result is a consolidated performance view that ties marketing spend directly to incremental return on ad spend (ROAS) across retailers, products, and individual locations.

Through the collaboration, Alloy.ai aggregates, standardizes, and delivers item- and store-level retail POS data from hundreds of retail partners nationwide. This harmonized data stream is automatically integrated into LiftLab’s measurement framework, where it is analyzed alongside a brand’s complete marketing mix, including digital, television, radio, print, and retail or trade activation efforts.

By unifying these datasets, brands gain visibility into how advertising influences purchasing behavior across both online and brick-and-mortar environments. The approach reflects the reality of modern consumer journeys, where discovery may occur through one channel and purchase through another.

According to company leadership, the partnership is designed to help brands move beyond fragmented attribution models. By aligning marketing data with verified retail outcomes, brands can assess performance with greater precision and identify incremental revenue opportunities across their full business ecosystem.

Alloy.ai is built specifically to support consumer goods companies in improving sales performance, streamlining operations, and addressing complex supply chain challenges. The platform ingests point-of-sale data from hundreds of retailers, e-commerce partners, distributors, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Using AI-driven insights, brands can integrate normalized, real-time data into analytics platforms, planning tools, and data warehouses. Companies leveraging Alloy.ai have reported measurable improvements, including reductions in out-of-stocks and meaningful bottom-line impact.

LiftLab provides enterprise and high-growth brands with advanced media measurement solutions designed to unlock underutilized value within marketing budgets. Its proprietary Trust Engine consolidates attribution data, experimentation results, and industry benchmarks into a unified decision-making system. The platform supports marketers in evaluating performance across both direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels, delivering end-to-end clarity across the full marketing funnel.

With increasing complexity in retail distribution and advertising channels, the partnership between Alloy.ai and LiftLab represents a coordinated effort to equip brands with clearer, more actionable intelligence. By linking marketing investments directly to verified retail performance in real time, the companies aim to help consumer brands make more confident, data-driven decisions in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

E2E Integration Urges UK Organisations to Tighten Subject Access Request Processes Amid Rising Scrutiny

CHESHIRE, UK – 18/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As regulatory attention around data transparency intensifies, UK organisations are facing growing pressure to respond accurately and on time to Subject Access Requests (SARs). E2E Integration, a Cheshire-based IT and data protection consultancy, is cautioning that many businesses remain underprepared, often making preventable errors that increase compliance risk.

The consultancy reports a noticeable rise in requests for SAR support in recent months, reflecting both heightened awareness among individuals and ongoing adjustments to the UK’s evolving data protection framework. In response, E2E Integration is sharing guidance on common pitfalls that organisations should address before a request lands in their inbox.

According to the firm, one of the most frequent misunderstandings involves the scope of a Subject Access Request. Organisations often assume SARs relate only to formal records such as HR files or documented reports. In practice, however, personal data can also reside in emails, internal messaging platforms, shared network drives, cloud applications, backup systems, and archived storage. Failing to account for these sources can lead to incomplete disclosures and missed deadlines.

Time management remains another critical challenge. Under current UK data protection rules, organisations generally have one calendar month to respond to a valid SAR. E2E Integration notes that delays frequently occur not because of technical barriers, but due to unclear ownership of the request or uncertainty about where relevant data is stored. Businesses must also remember that the deadline begins on the date the request is received, with the response due by the corresponding date in the following month—or the final day of that month if no equivalent date exists.

The consultancy further observes that many organisations treat SARs as isolated emergencies rather than routine compliance processes. Without clearly defined internal procedures, designated responsibility, and documented workflows, meeting statutory timelines can become increasingly difficult—particularly where data is fragmented across departments or third-party systems.

These concerns come as the UK prepares for reforms under the forthcoming Data Reform Bill (DUAA). While the proposed legislation aims to modernise aspects of the data protection regime, E2E Integration emphasises that organisations should not interpret the changes as a relaxation of their obligations. The expectation that businesses understand their data holdings and can demonstrate structured request management is unlikely to diminish.

SAR volumes are also rising in contexts such as workplace disputes, complaints, and legal matters. As awareness grows, organisations across sectors—including education providers, healthcare organisations, public bodies, charities, and private enterprises—are increasingly exposed to request-related risks. The consultancy stresses that any organisation processing personal data, regardless of size or industry, must be prepared.

To reduce exposure, E2E Integration recommends that organisations implement clear, proportionate processes, maintain accurate data inventories, assign accountable owners for SAR handling, and carefully assess the tools used to collect and review information. Embedding SAR management into day-to-day operations, rather than reacting at the last minute, is described as a key risk mitigation strategy.

In 2025 alone, E2E Integration supported organisations in successfully completing 275 Subject Access Requests across a diverse range of sectors, underscoring the growing demand for structured compliance support.

SocialPost.ai Launches Website-Driven AI Engine to Instantly Generate On-Brand Social Media Content

MIAMI, FLORIDA – 17/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As small businesses face increasing pressure to maintain an active and professional social media presence, many struggle with the time and creative resources required to produce consistent content. Addressing this challenge, SocialPost.ai has introduced a new AI-powered capability that automatically transforms a company’s website into ready-to-publish, on-brand social media posts.

The newly launched feature enables businesses to generate branded social content simply by entering their website URL. SocialPost.ai’s artificial intelligence analyzes the company’s site—including brand visuals, messaging tone, service offerings, blog content, and product descriptions—and converts that information into social media posts that align both visually and contextually with the brand’s identity.

By removing the need for manual setup of brand colors, voice guidelines, or creative templates, the platform aims to eliminate what many small businesses experience as a “setup burden.” Once the website is analyzed, the system produces posts that can either be published immediately or further customized. Users retain full editorial control and can edit, refine, or override any AI-generated content.

Company leadership noted that the technology is designed to leverage work businesses have already completed on their websites. Rather than recreating brand messaging from scratch for social platforms, the AI repurposes existing content into a consistent, high-quality social media workflow.

Looking ahead, SocialPost.ai plans to expand the platform with AI Agents capable of continuously learning from a company’s evolving online presence. These agents are intended to monitor brand updates, adapt to new messaging, and generate fresh content on an ongoing basis. The goal is to maintain alignment over time while reducing the daily workload required from business owners and marketing teams.

Early adopters report measurable efficiency gains. According to feedback from ALIANDO’s social media team, transitioning creative workflows to SocialPost.ai has significantly reduced the hours previously spent designing and formatting posts, while maintaining brand consistency across channels.

In addition to automation, the company has positioned accessibility as a core differentiator. SocialPost.ai offers a free-forever plan that includes unlimited content generation without requiring a credit card. By removing usage caps and upfront payment barriers, the platform encourages experimentation and iteration, particularly for small and growing businesses.

The introduction of the website-powered content engine reinforces SocialPost.ai’s broader mission: making professional-grade social media management accessible to organizations of all sizes by combining AI-driven automation with brand awareness and user control.

The new feature is available immediately through the SocialPost.ai platform.

About SocialPost.ai

SocialPost.ai is an AI-powered social media platform that enables businesses to create, schedule, and optimize content across major social networks.

HCSS Unveils Web-Based HeavyBid, Bringing Cloud-Native Estimating to Heavy Civil Contractors

SUGAR LAND, TX – 16/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As heavy civil contractors face mounting pressure to deliver accurate bids faster and collaborate across dispersed teams, digital transformation in estimating has become a strategic imperative. Against this backdrop, HCSS has introduced a fully web-based version of its flagship estimating software, HeavyBid, signaling a major milestone in the company’s 40-year history and a significant step forward for the construction technology landscape.

The newly reengineered HeavyBid transitions the long-standing desktop solution into a modern, cloud-enabled environment while preserving the speed and reliability that tens of thousands of estimators depend on daily. Designed to meet the evolving demands of contractors operating across offices, jobsites, and remote locations, the platform enhances accessibility, collaboration, and data transparency throughout the bidding lifecycle.

HCSS plans to showcase the new web-based HeavyBid through live demonstrations at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in March. The official market introduction follows a beta rollout unveiled at the company’s 2025 Users Group Meeting, where early adopters reported measurable gains in productivity and team coordination. Participants highlighted notable time savings during bid preparation, as well as improved visibility during internal reviews.

According to user feedback gathered during the beta phase, the system’s intuitive interface and performance improvements have streamlined estimating workflows and laid the groundwork for future innovation.

The web-based HeavyBid supports secure bid management from virtually any location, removing dependence on local desktop installations. Multiple team members can now work concurrently within a single estimate, supported by built-in audit trails and visual indicators that reinforce accountability and version control. This collaborative functionality aims to reduce bottlenecks and enhance transparency during complex bid reviews.

In addition to mobility and collaboration, the solution introduces advanced data standardization capabilities and flexible cost breakdown structures across categories such as project phase, cost type, or individual estimator. Combined with customizable tagging tools, this framework enables contractors to analyze estimates in real time, refine pricing strategies, and make faster, data-driven decisions to improve win rates.

HCSS leadership emphasized that the move to a web-based architecture aligns with a broader vision of delivering a fully connected construction ecosystem. By centralizing data and strengthening interoperability between estimating, operations, and fleet management tools, the company aims to create a more seamless flow of information across the entire project lifecycle. The transition also positions HeavyBid to support emerging technologies, including AI-assisted estimating, as contractors increasingly seek predictive insights and automation.

The launch of web-based HeavyBid represents a pivotal component of HCSS’s broader platform strategy. By integrating estimating more tightly with solutions such as HeavyJob and HCSS Fleet, contractors can carry bid data forward into execution and asset management with fewer manual handoffs, reducing errors and improving operational continuity.

While expanding into a cloud-based environment, HCSS confirmed that it will continue to support its established desktop version of HeavyBid. This dual-approach strategy allows customers to adopt the web platform at their own pace while maintaining confidence in the tools already embedded in their daily workflows.

The new web-based HeavyBid is now available to contractors seeking enhanced flexibility, collaboration, and scalability in their estimating operations. Additional information and product demonstrations can be accessed through the company’s website.

About HCSS

Founded in 1986, HCSS provides construction management software tailored to heavy civil and infrastructure contractors. The company’s platform—including HeavyBid, HeavyJob, and HCSS Fleet—connects office, field, and equipment operations to deliver real-time visibility and streamlined processes across the project lifecycle. Through customer-driven innovation and continuous support services, HCSS aims to help contractors bid more competitively, execute more efficiently, and operate with greater confidence in an increasingly complex construction environment.

Osa Commerce Introduces Agentic AI Retail Compliance to Combat $5B in Annual Chargebacks

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – 15/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As retailers and logistics providers face mounting margin pressure from costly compliance errors, Osa Commerce has introduced a new AI-driven solution aimed at eliminating one of the supply chain’s most persistent profit leaks. At Manifest: The Future of Supply Chain & Logistics conference, the Atlanta-based company announced AI-Powered Retail Compliance, a new capability within its Osa Unified Commerce Platform.

Retail chargebacks—often triggered by routing guide misinterpretations, labeling mistakes, or incorrect EDI configurations—cost the industry more than $5 billion annually. These penalties frequently stem from manual compliance processes that struggle to keep pace with evolving retailer requirements. Osa’s new solution applies agentic AI to automate compliance from initial document ingestion through shipment execution, identifying and resolving errors before products leave the warehouse dock.

For third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and consumer brands, onboarding a new retail trading partner has traditionally been a time-intensive process, often requiring 45 to 60 days. Osa reports that its AI-native compliance capability reduces onboarding timelines to less than 48 hours, enabling companies to expand into new retail channels without proportionally increasing operational overhead.

A Scalable AI Framework for Retail Compliance

The AI-Powered Retail Compliance solution operates on a “Read, Understand, Configure, Execute” model designed to replace fragmented manual oversight with autonomous intelligence.

• Intelligent Document Ingestion: The system processes unstructured compliance documents—including routing guides, PDFs, and email communications—extracting operational requirements with reported accuracy exceeding 95 percent.
• Autonomous Configuration: Based on extracted requirements, the platform automatically generates EDI mappings, GS1-128 shipping labels, and packaging configurations to ensure execution accuracy at the warehouse level.
• Predictive Chargeback Prevention: Powered by a proprietary Compliance Knowledge Graph—a continuously learning database of retailer requirements and historical violation patterns—the system flags potential non-compliance risks prior to shipment, preventing up to 80 percent of avoidable chargebacks.
• Tech-Agnostic Integration: Built as a cloud-native, technology-agnostic layer, the solution integrates with existing warehouse management systems (WMS) and order management systems (OMS), minimizing disruption to established workflows while acting as a profit-protection layer.

Why Agentic AI Now

Padhu Raman, Co-founder, CEO, and CPO of Osa Commerce, noted that retail compliance complexity has outpaced traditional automation tools. According to Raman, evolving retailer guidelines and dynamic supply chain conditions require systems capable of interpreting and acting on requirements autonomously rather than simply following predefined rules.

Jeff Cashman, Board Advisor at Osa Commerce, described the platform as a practical application of agentic AI to a measurable business problem. Instead of functioning as a chatbot or reporting dashboard, the system ingests a retailer’s routing guide and translates it directly into compliant operational workflows within days. For logistics providers absorbing margin losses of one to five percent on non-compliant invoices, the financial impact of accelerated implementation can be realized rapidly.

Availability

The AI-Powered Retail Compliance capability is available as part of the Osa Unified Commerce Platform and can also be deployed within existing enterprise networks. Osa Commerce is showcasing the solution at booth 1253 during Manifest 2026.

About Osa Commerce

Osa Commerce develops AI-powered supply chain orchestration technology designed to help logistics leaders enable scalable growth. Through its Unified Commerce Platform, the company delivers end-to-end network visibility, enterprise connectivity, and e-commerce orchestration across complex supply chain ecosystems.

Focused on resolving data fragmentation across retail and logistics operations, Osa Commerce connects, unifies, and optimizes commerce workflows for retailers, logistics providers, and their customers. Its AI-driven decision intelligence tools are built to help organizations operate one step ahead in an increasingly dynamic retail environment.

Voxpopme Introduces Compass, an Autonomous AI Agent for Enterprise Research and Strategy

PARK CITY, UTAH – 14/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) –  As enterprises face mounting pressure to translate customer insight into measurable business growth, the gap between data collection and strategic action has become increasingly visible. Addressing this challenge, Voxpopme has announced the launch of Voxpopme Compass, an autonomous AI-powered research agent designed to transform how organizations operationalize customer intelligence at scale.

Unlike conventional AI assistants that focus primarily on summarizing information or answering discrete queries, Compass is engineered to execute end-to-end research workflows. The system autonomously searches internal repositories, synthesizes findings, identifies insight gaps, launches new research initiatives, and delivers evidence-backed strategic recommendations—without requiring manual coordination at each step.

Andy Barraclough, CEO of Voxpopme, stated that enterprise leaders are often tasked with balancing day-to-day operational execution with long-term strategic planning. According to Barraclough, Compass is designed not only to improve productivity but to act as a force multiplier—functioning as an autonomous research partner that bridges the divide between emerging opportunities and actionable execution.

Moving Beyond Conversational AI

While many AI tools operate as reactive chat interfaces, Compass adopts an agent-based architecture that emphasizes execution. When presented with a strategic business question, the platform conducts a comprehensive search across existing research assets, surfaces relevant insights, flags knowledge deficiencies, and autonomously initiates additional studies to close those gaps. The output is a structured set of recommendations supported by traceable evidence, significantly reducing the cycle time between inquiry and strategic direction.

Designed Around Enterprise Leadership Needs

Compass was developed to address three high-impact priorities common among enterprise decision-makers:

1. Aligning stakeholders around a unified understanding of customer truth, enabling coordinated action across departments.
2. Delivering measurable business impact by detecting real-time market shifts and outlining clear, forward-moving strategies.
3. Identifying untapped market opportunities and shaping long-term growth strategies to secure competitive positioning.

The Foundation Accelerator Program

Central to Compass’s rollout is what Voxpopme calls the “Foundation Accelerator” advantage. The platform connects signals across an organization’s customer intelligence ecosystem to detect patterns and inform strategic pathways. To ensure early adopters realize value quickly, enterprise subscribers joining during the early access phase will receive 12 in-platform research projects. These projects are designed to establish the contextual baseline that enables Compass to generate high-impact insights from the outset.

Betsy Shaak, VP of Product at Voxpopme, emphasized that effective AI-driven strategy depends on context. By equipping early subscribers with structured foundational research, the company aims to shorten the path from customer voice to boardroom influence, enabling meaningful impact within the first quarter of adoption.

Availability and Access

Voxpopme Compass is currently available through an early access waitlist, with general availability scheduled for April 1, 2026. Enterprise subscribers participating in the launch phase will gain access to the Foundation Accelerator Program, including 12 research initiatives to be deployed within the first 90 days of subscription activation. Additional terms and conditions apply.

InHand Networks Launches CR602 5G Wi-Fi 7 Router to Power High-Performance Business Connectivity

CHANTILLY, VIRGINIA – 13/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As enterprises accelerate digital transformation and edge connectivity becomes mission-critical, networking infrastructure is under increasing pressure to deliver both speed and resilience. InHand Networks has responded with the introduction of the CR602 5G Wi-Fi 7 Router, a next-generation solution engineered to provide high-speed, reliable, and flexible connectivity across modern business environments.

The CR602 integrates advanced 5G cellular technology with next-generation Wi-Fi 7 capabilities, supporting organizations that depend on cloud-based applications, video collaboration platforms, digital payment systems, and a growing ecosystem of connected devices. By combining ultra-fast wireless broadband with enhanced local network performance, the router is designed to maintain seamless communication in demanding operational scenarios.

7CENTER Extends Global Footprint Across Key Trade Hubs to Strengthen SME Cross-Border Capabilities

NEW FARM, AU – 12/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As small and medium-sized enterprises increasingly look beyond domestic borders for growth, the challenge of executing international trade reliably has become more pronounced. Against this backdrop, 7CENTER, a global trade platform focused on SMEs, has announced the expansion of its international operations into several strategically important markets, including Australia, Dubai, Thailand, and Vietnam. The move reflects the company’s broader effort to develop a more resilient and system-driven framework for global SME participation.

Industry observers note that identifying overseas opportunities is no longer the most significant obstacle for small businesses. Digital tools and online platforms have dramatically lowered the barrier to discovering partners and entering new markets. The more complex issue lies in managing cross-border transactions—ensuring compliance, mitigating risk, maintaining transparency, and sustaining long-term commercial relationships.

Rather than positioning itself solely as a digital matchmaking platform, 7CENTER has taken steps to establish a physical presence in major trade and logistics hubs. This approach is intended to address operational realities faced by SMEs, particularly in regions where regulatory complexity, payment security, and logistics coordination can pose significant challenges.

Founded in Australia, a market recognized for its regulatory rigor and emphasis on transparency, 7CENTER has deliberately moved away from the traditional B2B marketplace model. Instead, the platform is structured as a global trade ecosystem that integrates multiple components of cross-border commerce into a unified operational system.

Company representatives indicate that many SMEs encounter difficulties in international markets not due to product quality or growth ambition, but because they lack dependable systems to manage execution and risk. In response, 7CENTER has focused on building foundational capabilities, including business verification, structured information disclosure, payment facilitation, and logistics connectivity.

Trust plays a central role in the platform’s design. Through standardized corporate profiles and partner verification mechanisms, 7CENTER aims to reduce uncertainty at the earliest stages of cross-border engagement—an area that often deters SMEs from pursuing international trade. Beyond facilitating introductions, the platform supports businesses through completed transactions, enabling them to gradually establish trade records and reputational credibility in global markets.

The establishment of local offices in Australia, Dubai, Thailand, and Vietnam also reflects 7CENTER’s emphasis on market-specific insight. Each region operates under distinct regulatory frameworks, business cultures, and trade practices that require localized understanding beyond what purely digital platforms can offer. Alongside its technology platform, 7CENTER participates in and organizes business matching sessions, trade forums, and investment promotion activities to deepen engagement across the value chain.

As global trade environments become more fragmented and complex, analysts suggest that SMEs will increasingly depend on ecosystem-based support rather than standalone digital tools. Models that combine technology, local presence, and operational infrastructure are expected to play a growing role in enabling small businesses to compete internationally.

Within this context, 7CENTER’s latest expansion is seen as part of a wider shift toward building “soft infrastructure” for global trade—where trust, transparency, and execution capability are treated as core enablers of sustainable cross-border growth.

Ever After Advances Psychology-Based Dating Model Amid Shift Away from Swipe Culture

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – 11/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As dissatisfaction with swipe-based dating platforms continues to rise, Ever After, a psychology-driven dating and curated events platform, is accelerating its early-stage expansion to meet growing demand for more intentional and emotionally grounded relationship experiences. Founded in 2025, the platform is positioning itself at the intersection of personality science, artificial intelligence, and real-world social engagement, offering an alternative to high-volume, low-connection digital dating models.

Ever After was created to address what many singles describe as emotional burnout and superficial interaction within traditional dating apps. The platform was founded by Teresa Waicekauskas, an entrepreneur and senior legal contract manager, who identified a gap in the market for a structured, compatibility-first approach to modern dating. Drawing on systems-based thinking and behavioral frameworks, Ever After was designed around a proprietary personality model incorporating HEXACO psychology to evaluate emotional intelligence, values alignment, and long-term compatibility. Platform data indicates that stronger compatibility correlations are linked to higher relationship satisfaction.

According to Waicekauskas, the goal of Ever After is to reintroduce purpose and emotional awareness into how people form romantic connections. “Modern dating has become increasingly transactional, often demanding significant time investment without delivering meaningful connection,” she said. “Ever After was built to restore intention, structure, and romance to the dating process, both online and offline.”

The platform combines AI-supported compatibility insights with curated in-person experiences that encourage authentic interaction beyond digital profiles. These experiences range from intimate, invitation-only gatherings to larger themed social events, allowing participants to engage in environments designed for conversation, emotional presence, and shared values. Looking ahead, Ever After plans to introduce AI-supported dating and relationship coaching tools focused on communication skills, emotional wellness, and sustainable relationship building.

Waicekauskas brings extensive professional experience to the company’s foundation. Prior to launching Ever After, she served as a Senior Legal Contract Manager, overseeing complex agreements for state and federal government agencies, pharmaceutical organizations, and Fortune 500 companies. This background has influenced the platform’s operational structure, with an emphasis on integrity, accountability, and intentional design.

Beyond her professional career, Waicekauskas has been involved with multiple leadership and innovation communities, including the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni program, WiSTEM 1871 Alumni in Chicago, the University of Chicago Innovation & Entrepreneurship program, and The 10th House Collective by Rebecca Minkoff. These affiliations underscore her engagement in women-led innovation, community development, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship.

In the near term, Ever After is focused on expanding its U.S. waitlist, cultivating a community centered on emotional intelligence, and developing partnerships across the wellness, hospitality, and lifestyle sectors. Longer-term growth plans include expansion into international markets such as Canada, Asia, and Europe, along with broader educational initiatives centered on emotional intelligence and relationship wellness.

“At its core, Ever After is about building relationships with intention—connections that support romance, fulfillment, and long-term happiness,” Waicekauskas said. “When technology is designed around human values rather than speed or scale, it can meaningfully enhance how people connect.”

Operating at the convergence of psychology, technology, and real-world experience, Ever After contributes to ongoing discussions around emotional wellness, evolving relationship norms, and human-centered innovation in the digital age.

About Ever After
Founded in 2025, Ever After is a psychology-driven dating, AI, and curated events platform. The company integrates personality science, artificial intelligence, and in-person experiences to support emotionally intelligent dating and intentional relationship building. Ever After is committed to fostering meaningful connection through compatibility, structure, and emotional awareness.

PayRam Expands Multi-Chain Stablecoin Payments with Polygon Network Integration

NEW YORK CITY, NY – 10/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As demand grows for payment systems that give merchants greater control over funds and data, PayRam has expanded its multi-chain payment infrastructure with the addition of support for the Polygon network. The update enhances PayRam’s position as a self-hosted, non-custodial payment gateway designed for businesses seeking alternatives to traditional and centralized payment service providers.

With Polygon now supported, PayRam enables crypto payment processing across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Tron, and Bitcoin, with additional integrations for Solana and TON on the roadmap. Merchants can accept Bitcoin, USDT, USDC, and other widely used digital assets through a single, self-managed dashboard, operating entirely without custodians or centralized intermediaries.

The expansion addresses ongoing challenges faced by merchants using legacy payment processors, including delayed settlements, account restrictions, limited transparency, and high cross-border fees. While many crypto gateways claim decentralization, they often retain centralized controls. PayRam takes a different approach by allowing businesses to deploy and operate their own payment infrastructure, retaining full self-custody and operational independence.

PayRam’s architecture is designed to be self-hosted and permanent by default. The system runs exclusively on merchant-controlled servers and databases, with no third party holding balances, aggregating transaction data, or maintaining the ability to freeze accounts. A proprietary smart contract framework enables the creation of unlimited unique deposit addresses, simplifying reconciliation while improving transaction-level visibility.

Security is further reinforced through a keyless design. No private keys or seed phrases are stored on merchant servers, and automated smart contract sweeps transfer funds to merchant-controlled cold storage. This structure minimizes hot wallet exposure and reduces risk, even in the event of server compromise.

Beyond payment acceptance, PayRam combines payments, payouts, and growth tools into a single stack. Merchants can settle transactions in real time, issue instant global payouts to freelancers and partners, and manage referral programs and campaign incentives from one interface. The platform operates without merchant-level KYC requirements, leaving compliance decisions in the hands of businesses themselves.

The addition of Polygon strengthens PayRam’s ability to support high-volume, low-fee stablecoin transactions. Polygon’s predictable finality and low transaction costs make it well suited for payment use cases, complementing PayRam’s existing network support.

Since its launch, PayRam has processed more than $100 million in on-chain transaction volume across a diverse global merchant base. Users across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and emerging markets have adopted the platform as long-term payment infrastructure after encountering limitations with centralized providers. Adoption spans industries including e-commerce, SaaS, digital services, iGaming, and cross-border contractor networks.

By operating as fully self-hosted infrastructure, PayRam ensures that customer and transaction data remain within the merchant’s own environment. There is no centralized data repository or monetization of payment activity, preserving privacy and data sovereignty by design.

Candescent and Greenlight Partner to Embed Youth Banking Capabilities Into Digital Banking Platforms

ATLANTA, GA – 09/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As financial institutions look to strengthen long-term relationships with families and younger customers, Candescent and Greenlight Financial Technology have formed a strategic partnership to deliver an embedded youth banking experience within digital banking platforms. The collaboration enables banks and credit unions to offer family-focused financial tools directly inside their existing digital environments.

Through the integration, institutions using Candescent’s cloud-native Intelligent Banking platform can incorporate Greenlight’s youth banking features, including kid-friendly debit cards, goal-based savings, parental spending controls, and early investing capabilities. By embedding these services natively, financial institutions can position themselves as trusted partners in financial education while supporting families as they build healthy money habits together.

The combined solution is designed to help banks and credit unions drive engagement across generations, strengthen customer loyalty, and reduce financial stress within households. At the same time, it gives parents structured tools to introduce financial concepts at home and allows children to develop money confidence from an early age.

Industry research cited by Greenlight indicates that financial conversations are starting earlier in households, with children increasingly involved in discussions around saving, spending, and long-term planning. The findings show that parents recognize the influence of their own financial behaviors on their children, while many younger families are opening accounts for children at increasingly younger ages. As a result, demand for youth-focused and family-oriented banking solutions continues to rise across the financial services sector.

Feedback from early adopters highlights the value of offering a branded youth banking experience within a bank’s own digital ecosystem. Institutions report that integrated family finance tools help differentiate their digital offerings while reinforcing their role in promoting financial wellness and literacy across generations.

Executives from both organizations emphasized that the partnership reflects a shared commitment to collaboration with banks and credit unions. By combining Candescent’s digital banking infrastructure with Greenlight’s family finance expertise, the companies aim to help institutions attract new households, deepen existing relationships, and deliver long-term value that evolves with customers over time.

Direct & Benefit-Oriented: Bitrix24 Synchronizes Sales and Inventory to Eliminate Overselling and Reduce Costs

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA – 06/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – For product-driven companies, inventory represents both opportunity and liability. Excessive stock ties up capital, while shortages jeopardize sales. Achieving operational harmony between front-end sales and back-end logistics is critical for sustainable growth. Bitrix24, a leading unified business platform, bridges this divide by integrating customer relationship management with real-time inventory oversight, transforming potential friction into fluid efficiency.

A significant pain point for many organizations is the disconnect between sales and warehouse operations. Utilizing disparate systems often leads to “phantom stock” — items listed as available in the CRM but physically absent from shelves. Bitrix24’s Inventory Management module eliminates this issue by synchronizing stock levels automatically upon deal progression. This seamless integration ensures data accuracy and directly safeguards profit margins.

Enhanced Profitability via Integrated Inventory Management
Housing inventory control within the same ecosystem as the CRM delivers tangible operational benefits:
• Eliminate Overselling: Inventory is verified and reserved the instant a deal is finalized, preventing duplicate sales of the same item.
• Proactive Resolution: The system triggers immediate alerts if stock is insufficient during order processing, enabling teams to propose alternatives or expedite restocking to save the sale.
• Reduce Carrying Costs: A unified dashboard displaying live stock levels and sales analytics helps managers swiftly identify stagnant inventory, informing smarter purchasing decisions.
• Configurable Operations: Workflows can be streamlined for a single user to manage the order-to-shipment cycle or distributed between sales and warehouse personnel with tailored access rights.

Accelerating the Fulfillment Pipeline
The interval between a confirmed sale and product dispatch is crucial for customer experience. Bitrix24 compresses this timeline by automating administrative tasks that traditionally cause delays.
Closing a deal automatically generates a detailed sales order within the platform. This digital document consolidates product specifications, pricing, and customer data. With automatic inventory deduction, the warehouse team receives prompt notification to commence packing, bypassing manual data entry and email dependencies.

Data-Driven Procurement for Strategic Growth
Beyond streamlining daily operations, Bitrix24 provides the analytical foundation for strategic planning. Business leaders can leverage real-time reports to discern market trends and forecast demand. Precise, moment-to-moment inventory visibility facilitates proactive procurement and optimized production scheduling. This systematic approach supports scalable expansion while minimizing the inefficiencies commonly associated with rapid growth.

GoodData Introduces AI-Driven BI Modernization to Accelerate Enterprise Analytics Transformation

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – 04/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – GoodData, an AI-powered analytics and decision intelligence platform, has unveiled a new AI-driven approach to business intelligence modernization designed to help enterprises move beyond aging BI environments without disrupting day-to-day reporting. The initiative addresses a longstanding challenge for large organizations: how to modernize analytics infrastructure while preserving the dashboards, metrics, and workflows the business already relies on.

At the core of GoodData’s approach is the separation of business logic from presentation layers. By extracting and standardizing metric definitions into a governed semantic layer, organizations can improve performance immediately while laying the groundwork for advanced AI-driven analytics and automation.

Early outcomes reported by teams adopting AI-driven BI modernization include significantly faster analytics delivery cycles, dashboards that load dramatically faster due to the removal of redundant or inefficient calculations, and consistent metrics that can be reused across departments and tools. Just as importantly, standardized logic creates analytics environments that AI agents and automated systems can query with confidence.

The need for BI modernization has become increasingly urgent as many enterprises struggle with fragmented analytics ecosystems. Over time, business logic is often scattered across dashboards, custom SQL queries, and spreadsheets, making systems costly to maintain and difficult to govern. As a result, organizations frequently encounter conflicting numbers, limited transparency, and growing resistance to change. This fragmentation not only slows decision-making but also undermines trust in analytics.

Such challenges pose a serious obstacle to AI adoption. When metric definitions are inconsistent or embedded deep within individual BI tools, even basic questions become hard to answer reliably. Without clear, explainable logic, AI systems cannot produce dependable insights.

GoodData’s modernization strategy is designed to avoid the risks and delays of large-scale BI replacements. Rather than forcing organizations to rebuild from scratch, the platform supports a phased transition that keeps existing dashboards operational while the underlying foundation is improved. AI is used to extract business logic from legacy BI tools, identify broken or unused metrics, eliminate duplication, and refactor calculations before they are migrated into a modern environment.

“Enterprises want to modernize without putting decision-making on hold,” said Roman Stanek, CEO and Founder of GoodData. “They need a way to move faster while staying confident in the numbers their teams depend on. By using AI to surface and fix hidden complexity, GoodData enables modernization that delivers value early and reduces long-term risk.”

The AI-driven BI modernization process with GoodData includes extracting calculations, joins, filters, and metric definitions independently of dashboards, standardizing and cleaning logic to reduce technical debt, and organizing definitions within a governed semantic layer built on a medallion architecture with full data lineage. Business logic is then deployed as analytics-as-code, converted into version-controlled YAML files that support testing, reviews, and rapid rollbacks.

As enterprises increasingly shift from dashboard-centric reporting to AI-assisted decision-making and autonomous agents, consistency and governance become critical. GoodData’s approach creates a single, trusted layer of business logic that can support traditional reporting, embedded analytics, and AI-powered experiences from the same foundation. The result is faster analytics development, greater confidence in data, and a scalable path to AI-ready decision intelligence.

About GoodData
GoodData is an AI-native decision intelligence platform designed to help enterprises turn trusted data into confident action. Built for governed, scalable analytics, GoodData enables organizations to operationalize insights, automate decisions, and embed intelligence directly into products and business workflows. With a composable architecture and a governed semantic layer at its core, GoodData ensures AI-powered analytics remain transparent, auditable, and aligned with enterprise data definitions. More than 140,000 organizations and 3.2 million users worldwide rely on GoodData to close the gap between data and decision-making.

BluWave-ai Advances Canada–UAE AI and Clean Energy Collaboration at World Government Summit 2026

OTTAWA, ONTARIO – 03/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As governments and industries worldwide grapple with the accelerating energy demands of artificial intelligence, Canada-based BluWave-ai is positioning itself at the center of a rapidly deepening technology and clean energy partnership between Canada and the United Arab Emirates. The company will participate in the Team Canada AI mission at the World Government Summit (WGS) 2026 in Dubai from February 3 to 5, joining a delegation led by Scale AI, Canada’s national AI cluster.

BluWave-ai’s inclusion in the delegation builds on the momentum of a landmark Canada–UAE engagement in November 2025, when a Canadian trade mission helped formalize a strategic partnership between the two countries and catalyzed significant UAE investment commitments into Canada. Against this backdrop, BluWave-ai’s expanding footprint in the Middle East highlights how applied AI technologies are increasingly shaping bilateral trade at the intersection of digital innovation and clean energy infrastructure.

The company is no newcomer to the UAE market. BluWave-ai has previously been recognized for its contributions to energy innovation, including winning the Smart Grid category at the World Energy Congress in Abu Dhabi. More recently, it has deployed AI-driven optimization tools with Dubai Taxi Corporation to improve electric vehicle (EV) fleet dispatch, charging efficiency, and overall energy performance—supporting Dubai’s objective to transition to a fully low-carbon taxi fleet by 2027.

Globally, BluWave-ai focuses on AI applications for electricity grids, energy-intensive operations, and large-scale electrification. Its software platforms enable utilities, fleet operators, and infrastructure owners to shift demand intelligently, align consumption with lower-cost and lower-carbon periods, and reduce stress on power systems. These capabilities translate into measurable outcomes, including reduced peak demand charges, lower operating costs, deferred grid upgrades, and improved system reliability. The company currently holds 13 granted patents with an additional 40 pending, underscoring its emphasis on defensible, grid-aware AI innovation.

As part of the World Government Summit mission, BluWave-ai plans to engage with regional investors, utilities, and strategic partners to expand its commercial presence in the UAE. The company views the UAE as a launch point for broader deployment across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), where rapid electrification, EV adoption, and data center growth are reshaping power demand profiles.

Building on its work with Dubai Taxi Corporation, BluWave-ai has expanded its EV Everywhere platform to support a wide range of major global EV manufacturers. The solution has already been deployed with Canadian utilities to manage residential and commercial charging programs and is now available in the UAE with direct, grid-aware charging capabilities. Designed to accommodate the region’s cooling-heavy load patterns, EV Everywhere helps ensure that large-scale EV adoption does not overwhelm local distribution networks.

In parallel, BluWave-ai is introducing its Data Center Autopilot platform to the Middle Eastern market in conjunction with WGS 2026. As the UAE accelerates investment in data centers to support AI development and digital services, Data Center Autopilot addresses one of the sector’s most pressing challenges: managing peak electricity demand without compromising performance. The SaaS solution uses advanced algorithms to shift non-time-critical workloads to periods of lower grid stress, reduce peak loads by as much as 35 percent, and synchronize operations with cleaner and more cost-effective energy availability.

At the World Government Summit, BluWave-ai will join policymakers and technology leaders to contribute to discussions under the theme “Shaping Future Governments.” Coordinated by Scale AI, the Team Canada delegation will showcase how Canadian AI companies are delivering practical, export-ready solutions that balance economic growth, energy resilience, and long-term decarbonization objectives in fast-growing markets such as the UAE.

Pulsar Introduces Workspaces Framework to Support Scalable Enterprise Social Intelligence Collaboration

LONDON, GB – 02/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As enterprise organizations increasingly rely on social intelligence to guide strategy, the need for structured, scalable insight operations has become more urgent. In response to this shift, Pulsar, an audience intelligence and social listening platform, has announced the introduction of Pulsar Workspaces—a new foundational framework designed to help large organizations manage insight collaboration, governance, and data ownership at scale.

Over the past decade, social intelligence functions have expanded far beyond small analyst teams. Today, insight operations often span multiple regions, brands, and business units, generating significant volumes of data across parallel initiatives. However, many platforms continue to rely on flat organizational models that struggle to support enterprise-level workflows, creating friction in collaboration, accountability, and consistency.

Pulsar Workspaces is designed to address these structural limitations by introducing an enterprise-ready environment that mirrors how modern organizations actually operate. Rather than managing isolated searches and datasets, teams can now organize intelligence by project, market, client, or function, while maintaining clarity over ownership and access permissions.

“Flat lists were never built for global teams,” said Francesco D’Orazio, Founder of Pulsar. “Workspaces represents a move toward operating insight as a system, not a collection of disconnected assets. It’s about building operational maturity into how organizations generate and manage intelligence.”

Within the new Workspaces framework, teams are able to collaborate at a shared workspace level, apply granular access controls, and establish a single source of truth for insight outputs across the enterprise. This structure supports stronger governance while enabling teams to scale their insight operations without sacrificing clarity or control.

The first capability released under the Workspaces architecture is Search Folders, which transitions the Pulsar TRAC platform from a simple list-based directory into a navigable, structured workspace built for enterprise use. Additional modules are expected to follow as part of the broader roadmap.

The launch of Workspaces marks a significant step in Pulsar’s product evolution, signaling a shift from task-based insight management toward a system-level approach designed to support the complexity of global enterprise intelligence operations.

Remergify Releases White Paper on Blockchain Evidence Management to Strengthen Chain of Custody Integrity in Criminal Justice

MIAMI, FL – 01/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Remergify, a technology-focused firm developing digital infrastructure assets for emerging public companies, has released a new white paper exploring how blockchain technology can address long-standing weaknesses in criminal justice evidence management. The report examines how TrustNFT.io, the company’s blockchain-based platform, is designed to provide law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratories, prosecutors, and courts with verifiable, tamper-resistant chain of custody documentation at a time when digital evidence and synthetic media are rapidly reshaping investigations.

Titled “Blockchain-Based Evidence Management: Securing Criminal Justice Through Immutable Chain of Custody,” the white paper outlines how procedural gaps in traditional evidence handling systems continue to undermine prosecutions and judicial outcomes. According to the research, incomplete documentation, manual logging errors, and inconsistent evidence transfer records remain among the most common reasons evidence is challenged or excluded in court. These risks are intensifying as digital evidence becomes central to modern cases and as artificial intelligence enables increasingly convincing fabricated media.

The report notes that many evidence management practices were designed for physical exhibits and are poorly suited to today’s digital environment. Digital files can be copied, altered, or deleted without visible traces, while screenshots and derivative files often lack sufficient metadata to establish authenticity. The emergence of AI-generated deepfakes has further increased judicial scrutiny, making reliable proof of provenance essential for admissibility.

TrustNFT.io’s platform is presented as a blockchain-based alternative that replaces fragmented, manual processes with cryptographically secured records. Each item of evidence—physical or digital—is assigned a unique non-fungible token (NFT) at the point of collection. This token records immutable data including time and location of collection, officer credentials, cryptographic hashes, and supporting documentation, all of which are written to a permissioned blockchain.

“The credibility of the justice system depends on the credibility of its evidence,” said Stuart Fine, Chief Executive Officer of Remergify. “When documentation breaks down or evidence integrity is questioned, the consequences affect victims, defendants, and public trust alike. Blockchain technology allows chain of custody to be documented automatically, transparently, and in a way that cannot be altered after the fact.”

The white paper details how the platform maintains a continuous and auditable chain of custody throughout the evidence lifecycle. Evidence transfers, storage access, forensic testing, and courtroom presentation are logged through smart contracts that enforce predefined protocols. Any attempt to modify digital evidence after collection immediately results in a mismatch of cryptographic hashes, making tampering mathematically detectable.

In addition to outlining technical architecture, the report surveys real-world blockchain pilots already underway in law enforcement and investigative contexts worldwide. These include blockchain-based evidence initiatives by Dubai Police, the European Union’s LAW-GAME project, body-camera authentication pilots using public blockchains, and blockchain preservation of war crimes evidence in active conflict zones.

The white paper also assesses the implications for key criminal justice stakeholders. For law enforcement agencies, blockchain-based evidence management can reduce administrative burden, improve inter-agency coordination, and lower the risk of evidence exclusion. Prosecutors gain stronger evidentiary foundations and fewer procedural challenges, while defense attorneys benefit from unprecedented transparency into evidence handling. Courts and forensic laboratories are positioned to see fewer evidentiary disputes, improved efficiency, and increased institutional credibility.

To support adoption, the report outlines a phased implementation roadmap that allows agencies to pilot blockchain evidence management without disrupting ongoing operations. The platform is designed to integrate with existing digital evidence management systems, case management platforms, and laboratory information systems, while remaining compliant with CJIS security requirements, data protection principles, and applicable evidence retention laws.

The white paper further addresses the growing threat posed by AI-generated synthetic media. By establishing cryptographic proof of authenticity at the moment evidence is captured, the platform provides courts with objective verification that digital evidence has not been altered, even as synthetic media technologies become more sophisticated.

Looking ahead, Remergify outlines planned enhancements including AI-assisted deepfake detection, biometric authentication, cross-border evidence sharing frameworks, and quantum-resistant cryptography to ensure long-term security.

The full white paper is available for download at TrustNFT.io. Remergify is offering complimentary demonstrations and consultations for law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratories, prosecutors’ offices, and courts seeking to evaluate blockchain-based evidence management solutions.
