Akeneo Announces Activation for Retailers Like Amazon in Addition to New AI-powered Capabilities for its Akeneo Product Cloud Solution

Akeneo

Akeneo, the product experience company, announced at the PX World Conference, Unlock 2023, new capabilities and features for Akeneo Product Cloud, the complete solution for executing on a product experience (PX) strategy. In a world of economic uncertainty, cautious budgeting processes, and a consumer or business buyer that is both sensitive and unpredictable, the only way to future-proof your business is by investing in technology to support a deliberate product experience strategy. The new offerings in Akeneo Product Cloud help companies future-proof their go-to-market strategies by bringing compelling product experiences to life quickly across the entire customer journey. Akeneo Activation for Retail Akeneo is bringing its best-of-breed product experiences to product listing pages on retailers like Amazon, Macy’s, Zappos, Nordstrom’s and more, with the launch of Akeneo Activation for Retail, which connects rich product information from Akeneo PIM to product pages on these retail channels. Brands and manufacturers will now have the ability to deliver consistent product experiences on these channels while easily customizing product information to align with shopper expectations and channel requirements. In uncertain economic times, the ability to optimize all of your routes to market or move quickly into new ones will rapidly become a competitive advantage and Akeneo Activation for Retail is designed to facilitate that optionality. “At Havaianas, when it comes to retailers like Amazon, we’re laser-focused on conversion. We know that some shoppers may come to Amazon to browse, but we also know that they mainly want to purchase quickly, pay a fair price, and get the product delivered fast,” said Francois Silvain, Digital CTO, Havaianas International. “We need to ensure our products are findable and once found, the listing must be perfect with all the information that a consumer needs in order to convert. We need to have up-to-date, high-quality product information automatically feeding our Amazon listings. Having a product experience strategy that is mapped to this end goal is a fundamental must-have step and we have Akeneo Activation for Retail to power that for Amazon as well as our other key retailers.” New Time-to-Market Insights Getting your enriched products listed faster in any destination is a competitive advantage and that is why Akeneo is introducing new operational analytics for Akeneo Product Cloud that identify opportunities to streamline the product data enrichment process in Akeneo PIM and bring products to market faster. This new analytics functionality provides additional actionable insights into the product enrichment process as well as industry benchmarking to pinpoint where and how your business can improve. Faster times to market result in getting on the shelf before the competition and ultimately increased sales. New AI Capabilities for Akeneo PIM The cornerstone of Akeneo Product Cloud, Akeneo PIM launched AI-driven data cleansing to support faster time-to-market by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate the cleansing, deduplication and categorization of product data as it is imported into Akeneo PIM. New Apps in the Akeneo App Store Akeneo is expanding the breadth of apps available in the Akeneo App Store to help customers more easily access and use product data, including the addition of multiple apps that leverage AI capabilities like ChatGPT and a new bespoke app capability to address unique customer use cases. Akeneo is pushing the boundaries of a traditional SaaS offering and following the example set by best-in-class SaaS providers like Microsoft and Salesforce by introducing Custom Apps that are designed to meet the specific need of an individual Akeneo customer. These SaaS native apps allow developers and integrators to alleviate the expense and time necessary to build and maintain custom integrations by leveraging tools provided through the Akeneo App Store. Custom Apps provide a flexible solution to easily create an app to address almost any unique customer need. For example, a Custom App could leverage Google Vision AI to detect errors in product information and make suggestions to improve data quality. Custom Apps can also be used to create business process workflows that save hours of manual effort; for example, leveraging an in-store scanner to scan clothing and accessory SKUs to create a “look” while automatically generating associations in Akeneo PIM to bundle these products together. “Akeneo is proud to enable DIY innovation for our customers and developer partners with the launch of Custom Apps,” said Nico Dupont, Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Akeneo. “To extend the value of Akeneo’s SaaS platform, Custom Apps provide the flexibility to package and release apps to address any specific customer use case in a secure, scalable, way.” Akeneo is also announcing the addition of 11 new apps in the Akeneo App Store, including: Akeneo App for Shopify which allows customers to easily connect Akeneo PIM with their Shopify stores. Digital Asset Management (DAM) apps such as the new TESSA Akeneo App by EIKONA Media, Filerobot Akeneo App by Scaleflex and Akeneo Image CDN by TwicPics, which will allow Akeneo customers to seamlessly access digital assets within Akeneo PIM and foster cross-platform collaboration between teams working in an external DAM and teams working in Akeneo PIM. Translation apps such as Powerling x Akeneo App, and DeepL App by Induxx streamline workflows to make it easier for businesses to deliver localized content. New AI-based apps ChatGPT Bee App by Dataggo and RoughDraftPro AI leverage ChatGPT to speed content enrichment, while Contentwise Catalog Builder App also leverages AI capabilities to generate product attributes and text. A new catalog classification app, Calago ETIM App, creates a catalog structure in Akeneo PIM based on ETIM classifications, the international standard for technical products. In addition to the new innovative apps in the App Store, Akeneo has launched a new self-service application development program that delivers a guided experience, including sample apps with code examples in multiple languages to help Akeneo partners develop new apps easier and faster. In short, the App Store of the Akeneo Product Cloud offering allows customers to innovate with a click of a button, which is essential in future-proofing your business in uncertain times. “Every new piece of functionality that we design is done so with an eye toward empowering product experience decision-makers and practitioners to showcase their products wherever their customers are in their buying journey,” said Fred de Gombert, CEO and co-founder of Akeneo. “Consumers and business buyers need more and better information about products in order to purchase and to be satisfied with the purchase. Putting a product experience (PX) practice in place, led at the c-suite level, and providing the PX team with a product cloud to execute on that strategy is the only way to truly future-proof your business.” Akeneo is announcing these updates at Akeneo Unlock 2023, the annual global summit for product experience leaders and practitioners, taking place on March 8-9 in Paris.

BioMADE Receives $450M Budget Increase from The Department of Defense

BioMADE

BioMADE, the Bioindustrial Manufacturing Innovation Institute (MII), and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), announces an increase in its federal funds budget ceiling from an initial $87.5 million to over $500 million. “BioMADE launched in 2021, and momentum for bioindustrial manufacturing has only increased,” said Dr. Douglas Friedman, BioMADE Chief Executive Officer. “This budget increase is representative of national interest in the power and promise that biomanufacturing holds for America’s future.” Bioindustrial manufacturing can create new products and a domestic supply of current products by harnessing the power of biology. This capability strengthens the domestic supply chain, creates new opportunities for American farmers and rural communities, generates well-paying manufacturing job opportunities across the country, and expands manufacturing options to the defense industrial base. “This budget increase and planned investment is a direct reflection of the Department’s strategy to accelerate technologies that will play critical roles in securing America’s advanced manufacturing capabilities. BioMADE’s ability to support the needs of the Nation’s nascent bioeconomy illustrates the value of the DoD’s nine MIIs and their public-private partnership model,” said Stephen Luckowski, the DoD MII Program Director. “BioMADE’s research and development is already yielding significant progress in biomanufactured proteins, chemicals, fabrics, rubber, and more,” added Friedman. “Now is the time to capitalize on this momentum and keep moving forward with increased investments. The Department of Defense’s leadership in raising the contract ceiling will enable vastly expanded federal partnerships that will advance technology and build talent in the biomanufacturing ecosystem.” “This ceiling increase demonstrates the importance of bioindustrial manufacturing to the Department of Defense,” said Dr. Angela Campo, BioMADE Government Program Manager. “BioMADE’s research and engagement with industry is creating a reliable pipeline of bio-based chemicals and materials for defense purposes and growing the industry at large.” Since BioMADE’s launch in 2021, over $75M has been invested across nearly 40 projects around the country. These projects are creating new biomanufactured products, designing state-of-the-art equipment, accelerating technology commercialization, advancing defense capabilities, and training the needed workforce. By driving toward marketable biomanufactured products and bio-based materials, BioMADE and its members are playing a key role in catalyzing the domestic bioeconomy. Biomanufacturing will impact all sectors of the economy and society; making the U.S. more self-sufficient and sophisticated in manufacturing by diversifying and securing America’s chemical and materials supply chain. About BioMADE BioMADE is securing America’s future through biomanufacturing innovation, education, and collaboration. By harnessing the power of biology, BioMADE and its 175+ member organizations are strengthening American competitiveness and creating a more robust and resilient supply chain. BioMADE is also building a diverse and globally competitive STEM workforce to ensure the workforce is prepared and ready to fill new jobs. BioMADE is a Manufacturing Innovation Institute sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and overseen by DoD Manufacturing Technology Program. Learn more by visiting biomade.org.

HUB SECURITY ANNOUNCES UNIQUE PUBLIC CLOUD SECURITY AND DATA PRIVACY SOLUTION FOR GOOGLE CLOUD

HUB Cyber Security Ltd

HUB Cyber Security Ltd (Nasdaq: HUBC), a developer of Confidential Computing cybersecurity solutions and services ("HUB" or the "Company"), today announced a unique cyber security solution for Google Cloud that leverages HUB’s core technologies - isolation, governance, and tight access control. The solution is a potential paradigm shift in cyber security, providing protection for data at rest, data in transit and data in use; a time when data cannot be encrypted and is at its most exposed phase. End customers across virtually all industries have either begun to move to the cloud or are considering a digital cloud transformation to take advantage of the low cost and flexibility of cloud processing and storage. Yet with all the benefits that cloud computing yields, privacy and security of customer data remain a top concern. Historically, cloud providers solved this challenge with data encryption processes that allow for security and privacy; but with increased risk and responsibility as customers must protect their own encryption keys. Working with Google, HUB has attempted to solve this problem with a solution based on confidential computing that compensates for inherent cloud weaknesses with a secure environment for the creation and distribution of keys. While only high-volume cloud users could historically benefit from confidential computing, HUB seeks to provide an easy to scale, high fidelity solution for both small and large organizations in heavily regulated industries such as finance, insurance and healthcare that previously could not take advantage of cloud capabilities. “HUB prides itself in isolating and securing the whole execution environment”, said Uzi Moskovitz, HUB’s CEO. “The historical focus on cyber intrusion and network defenses is no longer an acceptable solution. HUB is focused on making trustless security environments a reality, providing protection even if end user systems and computers are compromised.” About HUB Cyber Security Ltd. HUB Cyber Security Ltd ("HUB") was established in 2017 by veterans of the 8200 and 81 elite intelligence units of the Israeli Defense Forces. HUB specializes in unique Cyber Security solutions protecting sensitive commercial and government information. HUB debuted an advanced encrypted computing solution aimed at preventing hostile intrusions at the hardware level while introducing a novel set of data theft prevention solutions. HUB operates in over 30 countries and provides innovative cybersecurity computing appliances as well as a wide range of cybersecurity services worldwide.

ToolsGroup

ToolsGroup, a global leader in retail and supply chain planning and optimization software, has announced the latest version of its Service Optimizer 99+ (SO99+) software, adding new dynamic planning capabilities and modularization to SO99+ and enhancing existing supply planning functionalities. This is just the latest of the company’s significant strides towards making supply chains a force for good by helping organizations guarantee service, reduce excess stock, and increase profits. With the release of v8.60, ToolsGroup further improves supply chain agility and resilience with expanded capabilities that now deliver: Enhancements to Dynamic Sourcing and Multi Sourcing plans simultaneous replenishment from multiple suppliers, and automatically activate back-up suppliers with shorter lead times based on the probability that primary suppliers will be unable to meet demand. The dynamic sourcing capability automatically smooths inventory targets day after day and ensures target service levels are achieved regardless of supplier constraints. Dynamic Stock Levels provide automatic lead time adjustments that adapt safety stock and cycle stock targets to demand and supply changes, and calculate the projected lost sales in the downstream network. Probabilistic Bill of Materials delivers more comprehensive inventory planning for raw materials, assemblies, subassemblies, parts, and components, while allowing for flexible planning based on the probability of a component being used. Modularization enables engines like Stock-to-Service Curves to be provided as micro-services to other applications in the supply chain ecosystem. “Business leaders today are looking for new ways to improve the resilience and agility of their supply chains. To increase agility, supply chain teams need to be able to make informed decisions faster and optimize and respond at the speed of business,” says ToolsGroup CEO, Inna Kuznetsova. “We call this dynamic planning. I’ve heard supply chain leaders say that you can get bad answers quickly or good answers slowly. Now supply chain teams can have the best answers when they need them, helping our customers better navigate supply uncertainty. This is another step forward in our mission to make supply chains a force for good in supply.” These exciting new capabilities add to the existing dynamic planning innovations in SO99+ which include: Service Driven Planning: A unique technology that creates inventory plans based on service level targets. Multi-Echelon Optimization & Replenishment: An advanced optimization technique that determines the optimal inventory levels across the entire supply chain network, allowing customers to simultaneously decrease inventory across the ecosystem, while increasing service level performance. Stock Mix Optimization: The setting and planning of differentiated and market-oriented service level targets as an optimal compromise between service and inventory. What-If Scenario Planning: The simulation and optimization of inventory and service levels trade-offs and their impact in different design scenarios. Distribution Requirement Tunnelling ™: The time-phased planning of inventory and safety stock parameters and the visualization of performance against those parameters in a replenishment tunnel dashboard. Network Balance: Ensuring the right balance across the distribution network for each item in the Bill of Materials, including optimal staging, fair allocation of source availability, and automatic inter-depot transfers. Supply Constraints: Mapping and modeling of all relevant supply chain constraints like shipping/receiving calendars, supply lots, order frequency, order constraints, and replenishment dates. Optimized Replenishment: Optimization of replenishment planning in challenging supply chain configurations such as multi-sourcing, network lost sales, equivalent products and inventory lot expiration dates. Aggregate Constraints: Planning of purchase and transfers to meet supply and capacity aggregate constraints, optimizing the service level in the network through the use of requirement tunnels. The SO99+ Supply Chain Planning Solution is the market leader in dynamic planning, helping supply chain teams make informed decisions faster. The system can automatically adjust inventory and replenishment based on supply conditions, mitigating the risks caused by supply and demand uncertainty. The solution quickly adapts to changes in demand, market conditions, and supply chain disruptions, and optimizes the flow of goods in order to reduce costly transfers, increase efficiency, and improve supply chain sustainability. SO99+ masks supply chain disruptions and uncertainty from the final customer by ensuring the service level targets are achieved regardless of market conditions. With over 365 customers located in 45 different countries, ToolsGroup provides the power of dynamic planning with SO99+. Intelligent decision making at the speed of business transforms supply chain performance. Customers report a 5-10 percentage point improvement in forecast accuracy and a 3-5 percentage point increase in service levels while simultaneously achieving a 20-30% inventory reduction. Built-in automation cuts the planning workload by up to 90% and helps companies reduce waste by 10-30%. For more information about SO99+, read our blog on the v8.60 release HERE.

Consumers, organizations and government agencies are transitioning to mobile first, as 69% of all digital traffic and time is spent in mobile versus web apps.

The state of Texas has taken steps to address this risk for its employees and citizens, as evident by The Texas Cybersecurity Act. As part of this legislation, each state agency is required to submit biennial data security plans and perform risk assessments and penetration testing of the mobile apps that process any personal and confidential information to ensure that the privacy of individuals is protected and the confidentiality of information processed by the agency’s mobile app is preserved. “As Texas state agencies continue to mobilize their operations, they need to ensure they are protecting the security and privacy of their employees as well as their fellow Texans,” said Jeff Miller, VP of Public Sector at NowSecure. “We are honored to bring over a decade of experience in mobile app security to help keep governmental entities in Texas safe and secure from the ever evolving mobile threat landscape.” Only NowSecure can provide Texas agencies with the industry’s only full suite of security and privacy solutions to secure the mobile apps the build and use, including: NowSecure GovAppDB™ and Threat Assessment Service for federal regulatory mobile security app compliance NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management for mobile app supply chain vetting of security, compliance and privacy risks NowSecure Academy free training courseware for dev and security teams NowSecure Mobile Pen Testing as a Service (PTaaS) for continuous automated security testing and expert pen testing to deliver the frequency, depth and coverage NowSecure Platform for automated security testing for mobile apps as they are built Built on a foundation of standards and automation, NowSecure empowers organizations to deliver the most secure mobile apps faster and continuously monitor their mobile app supply chains for risk at a lower cost.
