Coder Names Josh Epstein President and Chief Business Officer to Lead Next Phase of AI Infrastructure Growth

AUSTIN, TX – 10/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) –  In a move that underscores its accelerating role at the intersection of enterprise software and artificial intelligence, Coder, a leader in AI development infrastructure, announced the promotion of Josh Epstein to President and Chief Business Officer, effective immediately. The appointment reflects the company’s strategic commitment to expanding its leadership team as enterprises worldwide rapidly adopt AI coding agents and autonomous development environments.

Over the past 20 months, Epstein has been instrumental in shaping Coder’s transformation from a developer workspace company into a foundational layer for enterprise-scale AI development. Joining as Chief Revenue Officer in early 2024, he led the company’s commercial evolution, aligning go-to-market strategy with emerging trends in generative and agentic AI. Under his leadership, Coder not only doubled its enterprise customer base but also became recognized as the trusted infrastructure powering safe, scalable, and controlled AI development workflows.

In his new capacity, Epstein will oversee Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Revenue teams, uniting them under a single vision: to enable human developers and AI agents to collaborate securely and productively within the same environment. His leadership will focus on strengthening operational alignment, accelerating product delivery, and positioning Coder at the forefront of the rapidly evolving AI infrastructure ecosystem.

“Software development is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation,” Epstein said. “AI agents are no longer theoretical tools—they are active contributors within enterprise development pipelines, writing, debugging, and refactoring code alongside humans.

The next chapter of Coder’s journey will see humans and AI building software side by side—and Josh’s leadership ensures we’re ready to lead that transformation.”

Epstein’s experience uniquely positions him for this expanded role. Before joining Coder, he played a pivotal part in HashiCorp’s early growth, leading several key teams and helping scale the company’s global segment through its 2022 IPO. His prior roles at Vendia, Mesosphere, and VMware further illustrate his deep expertise in scaling cloud-native and enterprise infrastructure businesses. Across these positions, Epstein has built a reputation for driving sustainable growth through product-led innovation and customer-centric execution.

K3C Strengthens European Startup Growth by Joining the SeedLegals Partner Marketplace

LONDON, UK – 08/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – As Europe’s startup landscape matures at unprecedented speed, two innovation-focused players—K3C and SeedLegals—are forming a partnership that aims to redefine how founders build, fund, and scale their businesses. K3C, a Go-To-Market (GTM) software and services provider known for its LeanGTM platform, has joined the newly launched SeedLegals Partner Marketplace, becoming the first partner in the Sales and CRM category alongside global CRM leader HubSpot. The collaboration underscores a broader trend of integrated startup ecosystems where legal, funding, and growth solutions converge to streamline founder journeys from idea to scale.

The SeedLegals Partner Marketplace was designed to give European founders trusted, ready-to-deploy growth tools—from sales and marketing to legal compliance and funding support. By bringing in K3C as a GTM infrastructure expert, SeedLegals is deepening its role not only as a legal tech pioneer but also as a hub of strategic enablement for fast-growing startups seeking sustainable, data-driven growth paths.

Empowering Founders with Enterprise-Level Go-To-Market Systems

At the heart of K3C’s participation is its LeanGTM platform, a SaaS-based GTM-as-a-Service solution that merges automation, AI, and human expertise to help startups build repeatable and scalable sales systems. For early-stage companies, getting to a structured go-to-market rhythm can often be the difference between sustainable growth and stagnation. LeanGTM offers an iterative, self-learning framework that integrates seamlessly with major CRM platforms like HubSpot, allowing founders to manage every interaction—from discovery to deal closure—with precision and insight.

As K3C CEO James Clark noted, “Our mission has always been to give startups access to enterprise-grade go-to-market infrastructure without the overhead. Joining the SeedLegals marketplace allows us to reach more founders, more efficiently, and support them with intelligent systems that evolve as they grow.”

Why the Partnership Matters for Europe’s Startup Ecosystem

The timing of this collaboration is strategic. With the European Union’s Start-up & Scale-up Strategy announced earlier this year, investors and policymakers are prioritizing ways to help founders accelerate growth, improve access to funding, and strengthen operational systems. The SeedLegals–K3C partnership directly complements this agenda by integrating legal readiness and commercial readiness into a single continuum.

Through this integration, SeedLegals clients gain immediate access to K3C’s expertise in sales process auditing, CRM setup, and regional market expansion. Moreover, LeanGTM extends the analytical depth of CRM platforms by using AI-driven insights to enable personalized, data-informed outreach—a key capability for startups operating with limited resources.

According to Liliana Conrad, Head of Partnerships at SeedLegals, “Our clients don’t just look for funding or legal support. They want partners who can actively shorten their journey to market traction. K3C brings a level of GTM sophistication that aligns perfectly with our mission to make startup growth both structured and scalable.”

From Legal Efficiency to Sales Acceleration

For many founders, SeedLegals has been synonymous with simplifying fundraising and legal processes—handling equity rounds, share option schemes, and compliance with remarkable ease. Now, with K3C’s inclusion, the platform expands beyond legal automation into commercial acceleration, empowering founders to act faster on market opportunities.

This synergy reflects a growing realization among startup ecosystems: legal and sales infrastructure must evolve together. Without an efficient sales system, funding alone cannot ensure success; without legal efficiency, scaling sales introduces friction and risk. Together, SeedLegals and K3C provide an end-to-end ecosystem that supports founders from incorporation to international market expansion.

Founders’ Voices: A Case in Point

For startup leaders like Sarah Montgomery, CEO of sustainability startup Infyos, the value of integrating these systems is already clear. “Getting to a repeatable GTM process that scales our outreach while preserving founder time is one of the biggest challenges we face,” she shared. “Working with K3C allowed us to move from ad hoc outreach to a structured, measurable, and data-enriched process that drives real results.”

Infyos has used both SeedLegals’ legal services and K3C’s LeanGTM platform alongside HubSpot’s CRM tools, forming a three-tiered ecosystem that supports both compliance and growth. Such integrations are expected to become more common as startups seek unified technology stacks that deliver both operational efficiency and insight-driven growth.

A Partnership Rooted in Community and Commitment

K3C is not only a SeedLegals partner but also a customer—currently preparing its EIS funding round through SeedLegals’ platform. This dual relationship reinforces the authenticity of the partnership, demonstrating that collaboration goes beyond commercial alignment—it’s about building community trust and shared purpose.

As James Clark emphasized, “This partnership is about investing in Europe’s founders. It’s about making sure they have access to the systems, data, and partners that can help them scale sustainably and intelligently.”

About K3C

K3C is a Go-To-Market Software and Services provider dedicated to helping startups and scaleups accelerate their commercial success. Its flagship product, LeanGTM, delivers GTM-as-a-Service through a blend of data automation, AI-driven analytics, and fractional sales leadership—empowering companies to build structured, repeatable, and scalable revenue systems without fixed overheads.

Transoft Solutions Becomes Accredited AiRAP Data Provider, Marking a Milestone in Intelligent Road Safety Innovation

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – 08/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a world where infrastructure and mobility intersect with technology, road safety is no longer confined to traffic signs or vehicle design—it now relies on intelligent systems capable of reading, analyzing, and predicting risks on every stretch of pavement. Reflecting this global transformation, Transoft Solutions, a leader in transportation engineering, analysis, and operations software, has been officially recognized as an accredited AiRAP data provider. This accreditation underscores the company’s commitment to supporting the International Road Assessment Programme’s (iRAP) ambitious vision: building a world free from high-risk roads.

The AiRAP accreditation positions Transoft Solutions among a select group of technology providers driving the digital evolution of global road safety. With its web-based inspection platform AssetMAPPER® Roads, Transoft has expanded its capabilities to automate the traditionally manual, time-intensive process of road assessment. The recognition marks not just a technical validation, but a broader acknowledgment of the company’s long-term dedication to innovation, safety, and sustainable mobility.

Transforming Road Safety Through Automation and Intelligence

Traditionally, iRAP Star Rating assessments required accredited coders to manually analyze 360° video footage, reviewing every 100 meters of roadway and coding over 50 attributes—ranging from lane width and roadside hazards to pedestrian facilities and speed limits. These datasets would then be processed through iRAP’s ViDA software, producing a measurable star rating that indicates the level of safety for motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

While effective, this method demanded significant time, labor, and cost. To address this challenge and scale global safety efforts, iRAP introduced AiRAP (Accelerated and Intelligent Road Assessment Programme) in 2019—a groundbreaking initiative that harnesses automation, artificial intelligence, and open data to accelerate the assessment process. AiRAP’s mission is simple yet transformative: make road safety data capture faster, smarter, and more accessible to the world’s road agencies.

Transoft Solutions’ AssetMAPPER Roads has become a central force in this transformation. Through the integration of advanced computer vision and open-source data, AssetMAPPER enables users to perform automated road coding for up to 20 attributes, dramatically reducing the manual workload. As a result, safety professionals can now execute large-scale iRAP Star Ratings more efficiently, with consistent and repeatable outcomes.

The Power of AiRAP Accreditation: Scaling Safety Through Data

The newly accredited AssetMAPPER inspection system is more than a software upgrade—it is a comprehensive ecosystem designed to lower assessment costs, improve data quality, and optimize planning cycles for infrastructure development. Under the AiRAP framework, the platform combines machine learning with 360° visual analysis, allowing agencies to rapidly identify and evaluate road safety risks.

By leveraging this technology, users can:
• Accelerate the road coding and data preparation processes for iRAP Star Ratings
• Integrate multiple data sources, including open-source datasets and 360° video footage analyzed via computer vision
• Enhance planning and monitoring through repeatable, scalable digital workflows

The implications extend far beyond efficiency. For governments, transport agencies, and private infrastructure operators, this means faster deployment of preventive maintenance, more accurate budgeting, and more proactive risk management strategies—all essential for building safer, more resilient transport networks.

A Vision for the Future: Innovation, Partnership, and Global Impact

“We are honored to receive AiRAP accreditation for AssetMAPPER, reaffirming Transoft Solutions’ commitment to advancing global road safety through innovation,” said Matthieu Levivier, Director of Business Development at Transoft Solutions. “This recognition highlights the transformative power of automation, making safety evaluations more efficient, consistent, and scalable. As the demand for safer infrastructure grows, we remain dedicated to delivering technologies that help governments and engineers make data-driven decisions for a safer future.”

Transoft’s journey to accreditation mirrors the broader shift occurring across the mobility ecosystem—where collaboration between human expertise and AI technology redefines the boundaries of what’s possible in transportation engineering.

About AssetMAPPER

AssetMAPPER is a web-based application designed to support the inventory, inspection, and assessment of roads and related infrastructure.

A Leap Toward AI-Powered Research Intelligence

At the heart of the new upgrade lies HIX AI Deep Research, an advanced agent that transforms the way users gather, interpret, and synthesize information. Rather than providing quick surface-level answers, the Deep Research feature conducts comprehensive, structured investigations into any topic — much like a professional analyst or researcher would.

Using a combination of intelligent prompt interpretation, autonomous search strategies, and contextual reasoning, HIX AI’s Deep Research scans reliable online resources, extracts relevant insights, and compiles them into coherent, in-depth analytical reports. The tool is purpose-built for diverse applications — from market intelligence and academic exploration to competitive benchmarking and content strategy development.

“We’re essentially democratizing access to advanced research capabilities,” said Camille Sawyer, CEO of HIX AI. “For too long, in-depth research required hours of manual searching, organizing, and analysis. Now, with Deep Research, users across industries — from students and marketers to scientists and strategists — can produce polished, evidence-backed reports in minutes. The AI doesn’t just respond; it reasons, plans, and synthesizes.”

This reimagined approach to automated research positions HIX AI as a bridge between generative AI and analytical intelligence — blending the creativity of language models with the discipline of structured inquiry.

A New Era of Creative Interaction: Chat-Based Image and Video Generation

Users can converse naturally with HIX AI to generate, refine, and reimagine visual assets — whether producing marketing visuals, short-form videos, storyboards, or digital artwork. The AI remembers prior context, enabling iterative improvement over multiple exchanges without starting over each time.

“Instead of filling out static forms or re-entering the same parameters, you simply talk to the AI like you would to a collaborator,” Sawyer explained. “The system understands your intent, offers creative variations, and lets you refine ideas fluidly — all within one continuous conversation.”

The feature introduces a new level of multimodal synergy, allowing users to move effortlessly between research, text, and media. A user can research a topic, generate a written report, and immediately create visuals or videos aligned with that insight — all within the same AI-driven environment.

Introducing the Real-Time Creative Canvas

Adding another layer of functionality, HIX AI has rolled out a real-time interactive canvas, enabling users to preview, edit, and export content without leaving the chat. Whether generating an image, editing a video, drafting a report, or refining code, users can see results live, make adjustments, and download or share outputs directly.

This visual workspace reflects HIX AI’s mission to make creation frictionless. “We’re removing the barriers between ideas and output,” said Sawyer. “With the new canvas, your workflow becomes a continuous dialogue — think, create, refine, and publish, all in one space.”

The canvas also enhances team collaboration by allowing easy iteration and feedback cycles, making it an ideal environment for marketing teams, educators, and developers who need agility without sacrificing quality.

Making AI Workflows Seamless and Accessible

HIX AI’s latest updates arrive amid a broader wave of innovation reshaping AI-assisted productivity tools.

Grey Enters India with Instant Global Payment Infrastructure for Freelancers, Entrepreneurs, and Expats

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 06/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a bold move that signals the next chapter in cross-border fintech innovation, Y Combinator-backed startup Grey has announced the official expansion of its services to India, introducing near-instant rupee payouts for individuals earning from international sources. The expansion marks a strategic step for Grey, a U.S.-licensed global financial technology company serving more than 2 million users across over 50 countries, and comes at a time when India’s digital economy is rapidly integrating into the global labor and remittance ecosystem.

Grey’s entry into the Indian market represents more than just another fintech product launch — it represents a shift in how Indians abroad and at home manage, receive, and grow their cross-border income. With this launch, freelancers, digital entrepreneurs, overseas students, and remote workers can now seamlessly access USD, EUR, and GBP accounts, convert funds into INR instantly, and transact as easily as their counterparts in the United States or Europe.

Addressing a $125 Billion Problem in the World’s Remittance Capital

India stands at the forefront of the global remittance economy, processing more than $125 billion in annual international inflows — more than any other country. Yet, despite this scale, the system remains slow, costly, and outdated. Many Indians earning from abroad still face 3–5 business days of waiting and 3–7% in hidden transaction fees before they can access their funds.

“Traditional banks treat international payments like it’s still 1995,” remarked Idorenyin Obong, CEO and Co-Founder of Grey, who recently visited Bengaluru to meet with users. “One freelance designer I spoke with told me he was losing ₹15,000 a month to conversion fees and processing delays. That’s not just inconvenient — it’s economically punishing.”

Grey’s new system directly addresses these inefficiencies by giving Indian users access to real foreign banking details — U.S., U.K., and European IBANs — so that clients overseas can pay them as if they were domestic employees. Once the payment lands, Grey instantly converts the funds into rupees, removing waiting periods and costly intermediaries.

Empowering India’s Global Workforce

India’s digital workforce is among the most globally connected in the world. With more than 15 million freelancers and 3 million remote professionals employed by foreign companies, the need for frictionless global payments has never been greater. Despite this, most still depend on outdated international transfer systems and intermediary banks that add days of delay and erode earnings through hidden costs.

Grey’s platform changes this equation by providing what Obong calls “true financial equality” — granting Indian workers access to the same global infrastructure available in the U.S. and Europe. “We’re not just another remittance app,” he explained. “We’re building a borderless financial ecosystem that empowers Indians to participate fully in the global economy — whether they’re coding for clients in London, designing for startups in New York, or studying in Berlin.”

Beyond individual freelancers, Grey also caters to startups, SMEs, and digital-first businesses that need to pay global talent or receive international revenue. The platform offers virtual USD debit cards, cryptocurrency payout options (including USDC), and compliance with U.S. and international financial regulations, giving users a secure and transparent way to handle cross-border income.

Navigating India’s Regulatory and Market Complexity

The Indian fintech landscape is notoriously complex, with strict compliance requirements and layered partnerships between banks, regulators, and payment gateways. Many global cross-border platforms have struggled to operate efficiently in this environment. Grey, however, brings both technological and regulatory agility to the market.

ClearCOGS Unveils Open API, Empowering Restaurant Technology Partners with Seamless Access to Predictive Intelligence

CHICAGO, IL – 04/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The restaurant industry has long grappled with operational uncertainty—whether in ordering, staffing, or prep planning. In an environment where thin margins and high waste levels can make or break profitability, operators are increasingly seeking technology that not only reports on performance but also prescribes actionable steps for improvement. ClearCOGS, a fast-growing provider of AI-powered restaurant intelligence solutions, has taken a significant step forward in addressing these challenges. The company today announced the launch of its Open API, a move that promises to reshape the way restaurants and their technology partners integrate data-driven decision-making into everyday operations.

Unlike many software platforms that demand operators abandon their existing systems or juggle multiple interfaces, the ClearCOGS Open API enables restaurant technology providers to embed prescriptive analytics directly into their platforms. This capability ensures that restaurant operators can receive ingredient-level forecasting, predictive prep recommendations, staffing optimization insights, and comprehensive operational playbooks without leaving the tools they already rely on. In effect, ClearCOGS’ approach eliminates the costly disruption of switching systems while embedding intelligence into daily routines.

Matt Wampler, CEO and Co-Founder of ClearCOGS, described the development as a shift in philosophy for the industry. “The future of restaurant technology lies in seamless integration, not system replacement,” Wampler said. “Operators are telling us they want intelligence that works within their current workflows. By opening up our platform, we’re not only giving technology partners the ability to add value but also enabling restaurants to achieve better results without friction. When predictive intelligence flows naturally through existing systems, the entire ecosystem benefits.”

The Open API provides restaurant technology partners with access to a suite of prescriptive analytics that go well beyond traditional reporting:

• Ingredient-Level Forecasting: ClearCOGS delivers precise demand predictions for individual ingredients, helping operators avoid both over-ordering and under-ordering, and preventing costly stockouts.
• Predictive Prep Recommendations: Operators receive daily guidance on exactly what to prepare and in what quantities, factoring in shelf life and demand variability.
• Staffing Optimization: Recommendations are tailored not only to sales forecasts but also to external influences such as weather patterns, local events, and historical performance.
• Daily Operational Playbooks: A fully integrated set of instructions that consolidates prep, ordering, and staffing into one coordinated plan.
• Real-Time Adjustments: Dynamic recommendations that adapt throughout the day as conditions shift, ensuring operators can respond immediately to changes.

This prescriptive approach sets ClearCOGS apart. Rather than merely telling operators what happened in the past, its AI tells them what to do next. By transforming streams of data—from point-of-sale transactions and inventory records to weather forecasts and community events—into actionable intelligence, the platform positions itself as a decision-making system rather than just a record-keeping tool.

The timing of this launch comes amid heightened pressure on restaurants to improve efficiency and sustainability. ClearCOGS has already demonstrated measurable impact: according to company figures, its users have achieved an average 55% reduction in waste and a 40% increase in profit margins, with onboarding times averaging just three weeks. These results are particularly significant as the global food service sector continues to battle rising costs, labor shortages, and mounting consumer demand for sustainable practices.

The company’s Open API reflects a broader trend toward collaborative technology ecosystems in hospitality and retail. Instead of siloed solutions, technology providers are increasingly expected to interoperate. “We built ClearCOGS to be a system of decision, not just another system of record,” said Osayanmo Osarenkhoe, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder. “By extending that philosophy through our Open API, we allow operators to access the benefits of predictive forecasting directly through the tools they already know and trust. This reduces friction, accelerates adoption, and leads to faster, more tangible improvements.”

ClearCOGS’ growth trajectory underscores the appetite for such solutions. Earlier this year, the company closed a $3.8 million oversubscribed seed round, with funding aimed at scaling its AI-driven platform globally and tackling the challenge of food waste. With thousands of restaurants already onboard across multiple regions, the Open API is expected to further extend its influence by empowering technology partners to integrate ClearCOGS intelligence into a wide array of restaurant systems.

As the restaurant sector seeks clarity in a notoriously volatile environment, ClearCOGS positions itself as a pioneer in transforming uncertainty into confident, data-driven action. Its Open API is not simply a product release but an invitation to the entire restaurant technology community to collaborate, integrate, and innovate toward a more efficient, profitable, and sustainable future.

About ClearCOGS
ClearCOGS is redefining the future of restaurant intelligence. By transforming raw operational data into precise daily guidance, the AI-powered platform helps operators decide what to prep, order, and staff with confidence. ClearCOGS integrates seamlessly into existing technology stacks, eliminating guesswork and optimizing profitability across locations. Since its inception, the company has been dedicated to reducing food waste and driving measurable improvements in operational efficiency.

Sri Lanka Moves to the Forefront of Circular Economy with LOLC and Corsair’s Advanced Waste-to-Fuel Partnership

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS  – 01/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Sri Lanka is taking bold steps to confront one of its most urgent environmental crises: the mounting challenge of plastic and polythene waste. Against the backdrop of rising concerns about pollution and its far-reaching impacts on public health, ecosystems, and the country’s tourism economy, a new partnership between LOLC Advanced Technologies (LOLC AT) and Corsair Group International promises to deliver a large-scale, sustainable solution. This collaboration is set to transform Sri Lanka’s approach to plastic management, moving beyond traditional disposal methods and toward innovative circular economy practices that turn waste into valuable resources.

The scale of the problem is significant. Sri Lanka generates approximately 7,000 metric tons of solid waste every single day, which adds up to around 2.56 million metric tons annually. A considerable share of this waste is made up of polythene and plastics—materials that are notorious for their persistence in the environment and their harmful effects when left unmanaged. Much of this waste ends up in overflowing landfills, contaminates waterways, and ultimately flows into the oceans, where it poses threats to marine ecosystems and biodiversity. For a country that relies heavily on coastal resources, fisheries, and eco-tourism, the consequences of unchecked plastic pollution extend well beyond environmental degradation; they affect livelihoods and long-term economic stability.

LOLC AT, a fully owned subsidiary of the diversified LOLC Holdings PLC, has already demonstrated leadership in addressing this issue. In 2023, the company invested in and commissioned Sri Lanka’s first commercial-scale waste-to-fuel plant at Kerawalapitiya. By 2024, the plant had successfully completed its first full year of operations, converting non-recyclable plastics—materials that cannot easily be reused through conventional recycling—into an alternative fuel source. This pioneering effort provided a proof of concept that plastics, often treated as a terminal waste product, could instead serve as a resource with economic and environmental value.

The newly announced partnership with Corsair Group International, an Amsterdam-headquartered company with a rapidly expanding global footprint in plastic recycling, is set to elevate this initiative to a new level. Corsair specializes in advanced pyrolysis technologies, developed in collaboration with its network of technology partners. These proprietary processes convert end-of-life plastics into ISCC PLUS-certified Pyrolysis Oil, a premium-grade raw material that can be reintegrated into the petrochemical industry. Unlike approaches that simply burn plastics to generate energy, Corsair’s model keeps materials within the economic cycle, enabling the creation of new plastics and other products while avoiding further carbon emissions.

Through this collaboration, the Kerawalapitiya facility will undergo a major upgrade and expansion. The new plant will be designed to handle up to 12 million kilograms of plastic waste every year—a substantial increase in capacity compared to the existing operation. Once operational, the facility will not only absorb a larger share of Sri Lanka’s plastic waste stream but will also be able to process a broader range of plastic types. The output—high-quality pyrolysis oil—will be supplied to petrochemical companies, which can use it to produce new, recycled plastics that meet international standards of sustainability. In this way, the facility becomes a crucial link in the circular plastics economy, ensuring that what was once waste can be continually repurposed.

The economic implications are equally significant. By transforming discarded plastics into commercially valuable feedstock, the initiative creates new opportunities for investment, innovation, and employment. Green jobs will be generated across engineering, plant operations, logistics, and research. The project also supports Sri Lanka’s aspirations to position itself as a regional hub for sustainable technologies and environmental solutions. With global awareness of plastic pollution at an all-time high, the country’s progress in this area is likely to attract attention from neighboring nations seeking similar models.

Construction on the expanded facility is scheduled to commence in 2025, with completion expected within two years. Corsair Group will bring its technical expertise, proprietary processes, and international project experience to the effort, while LOLC AT will contribute its operational capacity and local insights. Together, the companies intend not only to deliver immediate waste management benefits but also to set the stage for a series of additional initiatives that will further strengthen Sri Lanka’s position in the sustainable economy.

In comments shared with the announcement, Mr. Danesh Abeyrathna, Director and CEO of LOLC Advanced Technologies, emphasized the transformative potential of the project:
“This partnership represents more than just a technical upgrade—it is a strategic commitment to reshaping how Sri Lanka handles plastic and polythene waste. By combining our operational expertise with Corsair’s innovative waste-to-fuel technologies, we are confident in our ability to deliver measurable environmental benefits while also advancing the country’s economic resilience. Our goal is to show that environmental responsibility can be directly tied to social and financial returns.”

Corsair Group’s CEO, Mr. Jussi Saloranta, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the importance of collaboration between local and global players:
“We are proud to partner with LOLC, one of Sri Lanka’s most respected and diversified conglomerates. The Kerawalapitiya facility is only the beginning; it is the first in a series of planned initiatives aimed at advancing plastic recycling and circular economy solutions across the region. Our technology has already proven its value in other markets, and we are eager to invest our resources and knowledge here in Sri Lanka. Together, we can turn the tide on plastic pollution and build a cleaner, greener future for generations to come.”

Pryntbase Unveils AI-Powered Platform to Redefine Marketing and Sales for the Global Print Industry

LOUIS, MISSOURI – 30/09/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a move that is drawing considerable attention across the global print and marketing technology sector, Pryntbase.com has officially unveiled its redesigned AI-powered platform, a development widely regarded as one of the most ambitious transformations in the print services industry in recent years. The company, which has built its reputation as a leading provider of marketing and sales solutions for print service providers (PSPs), is positioning its latest launch not merely as an upgrade to its existing services, but as a landmark step forward that could alter the competitive dynamics of print marketing altogether.

The redesigned platform integrates a comprehensive suite of AI-driven capabilities that aim to address one of the most pressing challenges faced by print businesses today: how to compete effectively in a digital-first economy without diverting resources away from their core expertise in production. While the printing craft continues to be rooted in precision, quality, and operational efficiency, the reality of modern commerce has compelled print shops to evolve into digitally savvy businesses overnight. This tension between traditional craftsmanship and modern marketing demands has long left many PSPs struggling to balance excellence in printing with the complex, ever-changing responsibilities of digital customer acquisition.

Pryntbase’s newly launched platform seeks to bridge that gap. With years of development behind it, the company has re-engineered its solution set from the ground up, embedding artificial intelligence into every layer of its offering. The goal is straightforward yet ambitious: to deliver a single intelligent ecosystem that automates marketing complexity, drives higher visibility, and generates measurable sales growth. Unlike piecemeal tools that require print providers to become digital marketers themselves, Pryntbase’s approach is designed to function as a dedicated partner—handling the bulk of marketing operations while the PSPs focus on their craft.

Historically, Pryntbase catered primarily to full-service print providers. However, this latest launch marks a significant expansion of scope. The platform now extends its capabilities across virtually every print vertical, including labels, apparel, signs, promotional products, and packaging. By broadening its reach, Pryntbase is seeking to create a unified solution that delivers value regardless of the specific niche a printer serves. For the first time, businesses ranging from large-scale PSPs to specialized shops have access to a common set of advanced marketing technologies aimed at boosting visibility, capturing leads, and ultimately closing more sales.

At the core of the release are six newly developed AI-powered tools: SocialMagic, LeadsMagic, BlogMagic, EmailMagic, StockMagic, and AdsMagic. Together, these applications form a tightly integrated system that covers the full spectrum of digital marketing needs. SocialMagic is designed to manage and optimize social media presence; LeadsMagic focuses on identifying and nurturing high-quality sales prospects; BlogMagic generates content aligned with industry trends; EmailMagic streamlines customer communication campaigns; StockMagic supports the creation of high-impact visuals; and AdsMagic manages paid advertising campaigns with real-time intelligence. Used collectively, these modules provide printers with a unified, intelligent workflow that reduces manual labor, speeds execution, and uncovers previously untapped revenue opportunities.

Industry experts note that the release arrives at a time when many print providers are under mounting pressure to innovate or risk stagnation. With shrinking margins and intensifying competition from both traditional rivals and digital-native entrants, PSPs increasingly recognize that survival depends on their ability to integrate advanced marketing technologies into their operations. The new Pryntbase platform, therefore, represents not only a toolset but also a strategic response to industry-wide structural challenges.

According to Pryntbase CEO and Co-Founder Alyssa Summers, the company’s vision is rooted in years of listening to the frustrations of print business owners. “Printers are experts in delivering ink on substrate,” she explained. “But many of them never set out to become digital marketers. They suddenly find themselves expected to manage social channels, write blogs, or navigate online advertising platforms. Our mission has always been to relieve that burden and provide a partner that handles these tasks with intelligence and efficiency.”

Echoing that perspective, John Bracamontes, CMO and Co-Founder, described the AI-enabled platform as “not just a product evolution, but a redefinition of what print marketing can look like in the future.” He emphasized that the integration of automation and intelligence offers printers a way to reclaim time, reduce guesswork, and refocus on their core business priorities.

To reinforce its commitment to early adopters, Pryntbase has also announced a pricing incentive tied to the platform’s launch. While new pricing structures are scheduled to take effect in 2026, customers who join before the end of 2025 will be locked into current 2025 rates for the lifetime of their accounts. This “grandfathered pricing” model is being presented as a limited-time opportunity for printers to secure advanced marketing tools at a cost structure that will not be repeated.

The combination of advanced AI integration, expanded vertical support, and customer-focused pricing has positioned Pryntbase’s launch as a pivotal moment in the evolution of print marketing solutions. As the industry grapples with digital disruption, the platform’s promise of a cohesive, automated ecosystem could signal a shift in how printers approach growth in the years ahead.

By integrating three foundational components—AI Lake, AI Hub, and AI Apps—GoodData’s platform lays the groundwork for enterprises to design, deploy, and scale AI agents that not only deliver insights but also act on them with transparency, governance, and adaptability.

The unveiling reflects a broader trend in enterprise technology: companies are no longer satisfied with static dashboards or siloed analytics tools that provide information without clear paths to execution. Instead, the demand is for systems that can transform data into autonomous products—embeddable AI agents, copilots, assistants, and automated workflows—that align seamlessly with day-to-day business processes. GoodData’s latest platform release positions it as a frontrunner in this transformation, with a solution explicitly designed to balance performance, scale, and compliance.

Redefining the Foundation of Enterprise AI

The platform is anchored on three pillars:

• AI Lake serves as a robust storage and compute layer that unifies structured and unstructured data into a self-learning semantic model. This ensures that AI agents are always grounded in contextual, accurate, and governed knowledge rather than uncontrolled data streams.
• AI Hub operates as a central orchestration and governance layer. It introduces audit trails, compliance protocols, built-in guardrails, and escalation mechanisms to ensure workflows remain safe, controlled, and accountable.
• AI Apps represent the outward-facing dimension of the system, enabling secure, embeddable AI-driven applications that can be deployed directly into customer-facing products, analytics environments, and enterprise workflows. These range from conversational assistants to automated decision-making agents.

Together, these pillars enable enterprises to move beyond fragmented analytics tools and into a new paradigm: AI-native data intelligence that is auditable, composable, and capable of delivering measurable business outcomes.

Closing the Gap Between Data and Action

Roman Stanek, CEO of GoodData, emphasized the significance of this platform evolution, stating: “For years, enterprises have struggled with the distance between their data repositories and the ability to derive trusted, actionable insights. With this platform, we are closing that gap once and for all. Governance, scalability, and performance are not afterthoughts—they are built into the architecture from the start.”

The launch also demonstrates GoodData’s ongoing shift from traditional business intelligence to full-fledged data intelligence, where operationalization of insights is as critical as generating them. The platform allows enterprises not only to observe but to act, integrating AI directly into revenue-generating products and internal workflows.

Benefits for Enterprise Stakeholders

Industry analysts point out several ways the platform distinguishes itself from legacy analytics solutions:

• Governance First: By embedding semantic grounding, compliance features, and audit trails, GoodData’s platform eliminates the opacity of “black-box” AI systems.
• Scalability Across Enterprises: Its multitenant and deployment-flexible design allows organizations to expand usage across business units, geographies, and customer segments without sacrificing performance.
• Integration Without Limits: The architecture supports bring-your-own LLMs, open interoperability with existing enterprise systems, and deployment either via SaaS or self-hosted models.
• Speed to Value: With developer-friendly SDKs, APIs, and an open, composable stack, enterprises can rapidly prototype AI solutions and accelerate their move into production environments.

Peter Fedorocko, Field CTO of GoodData, reinforced this theme, noting: “Most AI solutions in the market today are either siloed or hidden behind opaque systems. GoodData takes a different approach—our architecture is composable, embeddable, and transparent. Enterprises retain full control, integrate seamlessly with existing systems, and still gain the agility to innovate at scale.”

Developer-Centric Technology at the Core

For developers, the launch represents an opportunity to overcome the limitations of closed AI systems. GoodData’s platform provides:

• MCP Server for high-volume, real-time workflows that maintain performance under heavy demand.
• SDKs and APIs in Python, React, and other languages, enabling customization and rapid embedding into enterprise applications.
• Composable Architecture that avoids vendor lock-in, allowing developers to connect diverse data sources, integrate third-party tools, and adapt to evolving stacks.
• Embedding Readiness so that copilots, assistants, and agents can be branded, integrated, and deployed as white-labeled enterprise experiences.

By offering this combination of openness and control, GoodData empowers developers to design AI systems that are secure, auditable, and production-ready, without compromising creativity or speed.

Shaping the Future of AI-Native Data Intelligence

The release marks a significant turning point for GoodData, a company long associated with analytics and business intelligence. By expanding into AI-native data intelligence, the firm is positioning itself at the forefront of a market increasingly defined by enterprises’ need to monetize their data, accelerate time-to-value, and compete through automation and intelligence-driven operations.

With over 140,000 companies and 3.2 million users already leveraging its platform, GoodData’s new release underscores its ambition to define the next era of data-driven business. From embedding copilots into customer-facing products to orchestrating safe, auditable AI workflows across the enterprise, the company’s strategy reflects a deep understanding of both developer needs and enterprise realities.

Founded in 2007 and operating in both the U.S. and Europe, GoodData continues to broaden its impact on the global data ecosystem. The new platform’s focus on openness, security, and scalability further cements its role as a critical enabler of enterprise AI adoption in 2025 and beyond.
