NEW YORK, NY — August 6, 2026 — Recently, GSJJ introduced a documented design-intake program that establishes response, artwork-proof, and production-scheduling targets for eligible custom merchandise requests.

The program defines the workflow from the receipt of a complete request through the entry of approved artwork into production scheduling. Manufacturing and shipping remain separate stages and are evaluated independently based on product specifications, materials, order volume, production requirements, and logistics conditions.

Design-Stage Targets

GSJJ has established the following operational targets and service standards for eligible custom merchandise requests:

• Global 24-hour live customer support with timely responses to customer inquiries
• Initial 2D or 3D artwork proof within three business hours
• Approved design entered into production scheduling within 12 business hours

The 12-hour measurement period pauses while GSJJ awaits customer feedback, design approval, or required project information. Customer support response covers the initial communication stage after a project inquiry is submitted. Further steps, including artwork approval, production scheduling, and delivery arrangements, will be confirmed separately based on project requirements.

Customers can help streamline the review process by sharing key information such as product type, order quantity, size specifications, design files or concepts, target dates, and contact details. Technical evaluation determines whether a project qualifies for the stated design-intake targets.

Projects involving complex artwork, multiple revisions, specialty materials, large quantities, or unsupported production requirements may require additional review time and may fall outside the stated targets.

“The program defines where design intake ends, and production planning begins,” said Karen, GSJJ Marketing Director. “By separating customer communication, artwork preparation, and production scheduling stages, we aim to provide clearer expectations without presenting design-stage targets as manufacturing or delivery commitments.”

Measurement Method

GSJJ tracks design-intake activities through its customer-support and artwork-management workflows. The measurement framework focuses on defined stages within the early project process, including customer communication, artwork proof preparation, and production scheduling entry after final design approval.

The tracking process considers factors such as:

• Customer inquiry handling and response workflows
• Time required for initial artwork proof preparation
• Scheduling entry after approved artwork is confirmed
• Delays caused by missing information, customer feedback, or revision requests

The design-intake standards serve as operational guidelines for eligible requests and do not represent contractual service guarantees, manufacturing completion dates, or delivery commitments.

Scope of the Program

The standards cover several custom merchandise categories supported by GSJJ, including Custom Medals, Custom Enamel Pins, patches, and keychains.

Each order follows its own production and delivery timeline. Factors such as product design, material selection, order volume, manufacturing arrangements, and shipping destination may influence the overall schedule. The design-intake targets apply only to the early stages of customer communication, artwork preparation, and production scheduling.

Program information and current company details are available at GSJJ.

About GSJJ

GSJJ manufactures custom promotional merchandise and recognition items for businesses, sports leagues, schools, nonprofit organizations, and community programs. Its product categories include medals, enamel pins, patches, keychains, and related items used for athletic events, recognition programs, marketing campaigns, and community initiatives.

SLOUGH, United Kingdom — August 6, 2026 — Berks Technologies today launched an adaptive software development service for organisations seeking structured discovery, architecture planning, iterative delivery, testing and post-launch maintenance from a London-area development partner.

Available from August 5, 2026, the service begins with a defined discovery phase and continues through architecture, development, verification, deployment and maintenance. It is intended for organisations developing new digital products, replacing legacy systems or improving established applications as business and user needs evolve.

“Software projects often encounter avoidable rework when assumptions, architecture decisions and maintenance responsibilities are not addressed early enough,” Berks Technologies said in a company statement. “This service introduces documented discovery outputs, weekly decision points and visible testing activity so clients can assess progress throughout the engagement rather than waiting until final delivery.”

Defined Deliverables From Discovery to Maintenance

Each engagement starts by examining the business objective, user journeys, current technical environment and delivery constraints. Findings are documented before the main development phase begins, allowing the client and delivery team to confirm priorities and identify technical dependencies.

Core service deliverables include:

• Documented user journeys and project objectives
• An audit of relevant existing systems and integrations
• Architecture recommendations covering databases, frameworks and service interactions
• Capacity and scalability considerations
• Short-cycle development with early usable releases
• Weekly progress and scope reviews
• Unit, integration, manual and security testing
• Deployment planning, monitoring requirements and a defined maintenance scope

This approach recognises that coding is one part of a broader delivery process. The service places equal attention on determining what should be developed, documenting technical decisions and preparing the resulting system for continued operation.

Short Delivery Cycles and Weekly Reviews

Adaptive software development provides the methodological basis for the service. Requirements are recorded as working assumptions that can be reviewed when user feedback, technical findings or business priorities change.

Development proceeds in short cycles, with usable work presented at regular intervals. Weekly engagement meetings give clients a consistent opportunity to review completed work, consider evidence and approve changes to priorities or scope.

For procurement teams using Software House London as a supplier category, the service provides a documented engagement model that can be evaluated through its discovery outputs, review cadence, testing coverage and maintenance arrangements.

Testing and Ongoing Operation

Testing takes place throughout delivery rather than only before deployment. Unit tests assess individual functions, integration tests examine interactions between components, and manual testing covers practical scenarios such as intermittent connectivity and lower-performance devices.

Security requirements are considered during architecture and implementation, particularly where systems process customer information or payments. Relevant checks are incorporated into the project’s testing plan.

Before deployment, Berks Technologies documents the agreed monitoring, patching and update responsibilities. Maintenance scopes can address operating system changes, external API revisions and other platform updates that may affect an application after launch.

Availability

The adaptive software development service is available from Berks Technologies’ Slough operations beginning August 5, 2026. Engagements are structured around discovery, iterative development, weekly reviews, documented verification and agreed post-launch support.

About Berks Technologies 

Berks Technologies is a software development company based in Slough, United Kingdom. The company provides development services spanning discovery, technical architecture, iterative implementation, testing, deployment and maintenance planning. Its engagements are designed to align technical delivery with changing business requirements and observable user feedback.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – 5th August 2026 – Rollo today announced that Shopify merchants shipping parcels from Canada can now use the Rollo Ship order-to-label workflow previously limited to shipments originating in the United States.

Effective today, qualifying stores can connect Shopify orders to Rollo Ship, compare available carrier rates, create labels through web, iOS or Android interfaces, and return tracking numbers to the associated Shopify orders.

The update expands the workflow’s ship-from coverage from one country to two. It does not add a carrier, change the existing U.S.-origin workflow, or introduce new inventory, currency or mobile functions.

“Extending this workflow to Canadian origins gives Shopify merchants in both Canada and the United States a consistent process for importing orders, comparing available rates, creating labels and returning tracking information,” Rollo said in its product announcement.

Eligibility and Setup

The expansion applies to Rollo Ship accounts that:

• Connect to a Shopify store
• Use a Canadian ship-from address for the parcel
• Provide the shipment information required for a carrier quote
• Have an applicable carrier or service displayed for the route and account configuration

Merchants can review connection guidance through Rollo support. Current shipment-specific carrier and service options appear in Rollo Ship when a quote is generated and before a label is created.

Available options depend on the origin, destination, parcel weight and dimensions, service level, carrier account status and applicable surcharges. Rollo does not represent that every Canadian national or regional carrier is available.

Shopify Order-to-Label Workflow

Connected stores can use Rollo Ship for:

• Automatic Shopify order import
• Rate comparison among carriers available for the shipment
• Individual or batch label creation
• Tracking-number return to the associated Shopify order
• Web, iOS and Android access

Cross-store inventory tracking and support for USD and CAD were established Rollo Ship functions before this geographic expansion.

Platform Label Charges

Rollo Ship has no recurring subscription charge. Under the standard label schedule, the first 200 labels in a monthly billing cycle carry no platform label charge. Each label after the first 200 carries a $0.05 platform label charge.

For a merchant creating 320 labels during one monthly billing cycle:

120 chargeable labels × $0.05 = $6.00 per month

The $6.00 amount covers the platform label charge only. Postage, taxes, carrier charges, surcharges, account fees, Rollo Rewards adjustments and other applicable costs are separate.

Any loyalty adjustment depends on qualifying for and maintaining the applicable status under the current Rollo Rewards terms. A reduced loyalty rate is not automatic.

Carrier quotes vary according to shipment details and account configuration. A rate displayed for one parcel may not apply to another.

Operational Considerations

Before creating labels, merchants should confirm that their ship-from address, product weights, package dimensions and carrier connections are current. Stores using negotiated carrier rates should also verify that the relevant account connection is active.

Guidance for carrier connections, order imports and fulfillment handling is available through Rollo support. Options displayed in Rollo Ship at the time of quoting govern each shipment.

The workflow is designed for parcels originating in the United States or Canada. Pallets, shipments originating elsewhere, unsupported regional carriers and some internal carrier contracts may require another process.

Feature and pricing statements are based on Rollo Ship product information and applicable Rollo program terms accessed August 5, 2026. Current platform terms and displayed options govern if they differ from this release.

About Rollo

Rollo Ship is a free multi-carrier shipping platform that  provides parcel-shipping software for merchants operating in the United States and Canada. Its services include carrier-rate comparison, label creation, mobile applications, Shopify order integration and multi-store inventory tracking under a model with no recurring subscription charge.

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pennsylvania – 4th August 2026 – Becker Orthodontics today launched an Early Childhood Screening Program providing no-charge initial orthodontic evaluations for eligible children around age seven in Plymouth Meeting and surrounding communities.

The program is intended to identify developing concerns involving tooth eruption, bite alignment, or jaw growth. An evaluation does not presume that care will be recommended.

“For families in Plymouth Meeting and nearby communities, an age-seven evaluation can provide a useful checkpoint,” said Dr. Becker, an orthodontist at Becker Orthodontics. “The program is primarily for children around that age, and many will need only observation or no action. Our purpose is to explain the clinical findings and appropriate next steps.”

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic checkup no later than age seven. According to the association, this timing allows an orthodontist to assess developing teeth and jaw relationships. Any recommendation depends on the individual child’s examination and, when appropriate, diagnostic records.

Eligibility and Visit Terms

Participation is by appointment and is intended primarily for children approximately seven years old. Parents may request an earlier evaluation when a dentist, pediatrician, or other clinician has identified a concern. Families should contact the office to confirm eligibility and appointment availability.

The no-charge program visit includes an initial clinical examination and a discussion of the findings. It does not include panoramic images, digital scans, other diagnostic records, subsequent observation visits, appliances, or additional care. Those services may carry separate charges if recommended. Families may request applicable fee information before authorizing any service outside the initial evaluation.

The program is available to families in Plymouth Meeting and surrounding communities. The announced no-charge evaluation is not described as dependent on insurance coverage. Program terms remain the same regardless of how a family learned about the practice, including an online search for pediatric orthodontist near me.

Possible Outcomes

A typical initial visit takes less than an hour and may result in one of three findings:

• No orthodontic action is indicated.
• Periodic observation is recommended.
• Additional diagnostic review is recommended before options are discussed.

Parents may also request an evaluation if they notice substantially early or late loss of baby teeth, front teeth that do not meet, or a jaw that shifts during opening or closing. These observations do not establish a diagnosis or indicate that orthodontic care is necessary.

If additional review is appropriate, the orthodontist may recommend imaging or digital scanning to document tooth development and jaw relationships. The practice will explain the reason for any recommended records, available alternatives, timing, and applicable charges before a family decides whether to proceed.

Parents and guardians may request program information or an appointment through beckerorthopa.com or by emailing reception@beckerorthopa.com.

About Becker Orthodontics

Becker Orthodontics is an orthodontic practice in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, providing diagnostic evaluations and interceptive and comprehensive orthodontic care for children and adolescents. The practice offers early screening and observation programs, digital three-dimensional scanning, panoramic imaging, appliances, and braces.

SAN FRANCISCO, California – 1st August 2026 – GetAccept Inc today announced five electronic signature methods paired with integrated deal rooms for document workflows across sales, human resources, procurement, and legal teams.

The update brings signature selection, document sharing, comments, approval steps, and opportunity status into a coordinated workflow. Organizations can select a signature method according to the document, identity requirements, internal policy, and applicable law.

“What is new in this release is the combination of five signature methods with deal rooms in one workflow,” said Samir Smajic, co-founder and CEO of GetAccept. “The update is intended to help teams coordinate documents and approvals while giving administrators more control over how each signing process is configured.”

Five signature methods

The update includes:

• Handwritten digital signature: A signature drawn with a touchscreen, pointer, or stylus.
• Typed signature: A font-based representation generated from the signer’s entered name.
• Uploaded signature image: An image file of an existing signature that can be placed on a document.
• Certificate-based digital signature: A method that uses a digital certificate to associate a signer with a signed file. Accepted certificate sources and validation requirements can vary by workflow and jurisdiction.
• Biometric signature: A method that captures configured behavioral inputs, such as writing speed and pressure, on supported devices. Organizations should assess consent, retention, privacy, and local legal requirements before enabling this method.

The legal effect and evidentiary treatment of each method depend on the jurisdiction, document category, signer identity process, and organizational configuration. GetAccept recommends that customers obtain their own legal and compliance guidance for regulated or high-impact workflows.

Signature management

Administrative settings allow organizations to establish which signature methods are available for particular workflows and to manage signature records according to internal policies.

Accompanying guidance includes an FAQ titled “Can I change my signature?” Users may update an available signature style when permitted by their organization’s settings and applicable requirements. Organizations may also require a consistent signing identity for designated documents or processes.

Integrated deal rooms

Deal rooms organize documents, stakeholder comments, approval steps, and status information by opportunity or transaction. Teams can use the workspace to coordinate multi-stage agreements without separating signing activity from the related document discussion.

The combined workflow is intended for agreements involving several participants, revisions, or approvals. Available functions depend on the customer’s plan and deployment configuration.

Availability and implementation

The rollout begins August 1, 2026. Access may vary by plan, market, device support, signature method, and configured workflow. Commercial terms and plan eligibility are available through GetAccept account teams.

Integration compatibility is deployment-specific. Customers should confirm supported CRM, human resources, procurement, legal, and document-storage connections before implementation. Current product, implementation, and policy information is available through the GetAccept website.

About GetAccept Inc

GetAccept Inc develops electronic signature and document workflow software for sales, human resources, procurement, and legal processes. Its platform provides configurable signing methods, document coordination tools, and administrative settings for remote collaboration and recordkeeping.

NEW YORK, United States – 31st July 2026 – LLM Listed reported key findings from the State of AI Business Accuracy Report 2026, an independent analysis that found only 46 percent of companies received consistent recommendations across four major AI platforms and that local businesses were substantially more likely to be misrepresented by those systems.

The report, produced by LLM Listed, evaluated 250 businesses across 20 industries through manual review of platform responses to business queries. Researchers assessed business identity, products and services, founders, headquarters, pricing signals, recommendation behavior, and cross-platform consistency. The study contrasted nationally recognized brands with a randomized sample of local companies to measure differences in representation and accuracy.

Among the central findings, the report shows that just 46 percent of companies received consistent recommendations across the four platforms reviewed. The analysis found AI systems were four times more likely to misunderstand a local business than a nationally recognized organization. Businesses that lacked any deliberate optimization for AI discovery were 3.5 times more likely to be misunderstood. In addition, AI responses omitted important products or services in 28 percent of cases and confused one business for an entirely different company in 5 percent of cases.

The discrepancy between national and local businesses emerged as a primary concern in the report. Larger brands tended to benefit from broader online coverage across news outlets, directories, review sites, and industry publications, while many local companies lacked the volume of authoritative signals necessary for consistent representation by AI systems. Researchers noted that this imbalance affected the likelihood of being recommended when consumers relied on AI-driven discovery.

Ben Harper, Founder of LLM Listed, commented on the findings: “The concern isn’t simply whether a business appears. It’s whether AI actually understands the business correctly. If AI doesn’t know your specialist services, your locations, or who you’re best suited for, you may never be recommended when customers ask.”

The report also documented variability in responses from different platforms. In many instances, platforms produced divergent descriptions of the same business, differing in the products and services highlighted, competitors recommended, business positioning, stated industry specialization, and ultimate recommendation outcomes. Researchers emphasized the importance of monitoring representation across a broad set of systems rather than assuming uniformity from a single source.

Analysis of source signals indicated that companies’ own websites remained the most frequently referenced source, appearing in 40 percent of recommendation responses. A major online discussion platform appeared in 35 percent of recommendation responses, alongside references to public knowledge repositories, customer review sources, employee feedback channels, industry publications, and news articles. The study suggests that AI platforms synthesize information from a mix of proprietary and publicly available references when forming business recommendations.

The State of AI Business Accuracy Report 2026 follows earlier LLM Listed consumer research that reported high levels of trust in AI-supplied information: 97 percent of buyers trusted AI-provided information in that prior study, 85 percent had changed their decision because of an AI recommendation, and 94 percent would cease consideration of a company if AI presented negative information. Together, the reports present AI as an increasingly influential stage of the customer discovery process and document measurable differences in how businesses are represented within that stage.

About LLM Listed

LLM Listed is an AI visibility company that helps organizations understand, improve, and monitor how they are represented across prominent AI platforms and AI-generated business overviews. The company publishes independent research into AI, buyer behavior, and business discovery.
