This model reflects a broader trend within eCommerce, where businesses seek specialized partners for platform-specific optimization. By focusing solely on Amazon, ASINIFY supports agencies in delivering consistent results across multiple brands and product categories. “Strong visual systems are essential for multi-brand operations,” said a company spokesperson. “Our goal is to provide reliable, structured design solutions that scale with client needs while maintaining quality and consistency.” About ASINIFY ASINIFY is an Amazon-exclusive graphic design agency based in Portugal, serving sellers, brands, and agencies worldwide. The company specializes in Amazon A+ content design , product image optimization, and storefront development, with a focus on improving listing performance and customer engagement.

iFlii Incorporated Unveils iPAV1 with Body Flight Technology for On Demand Aerial Mobility
When The Sky Becomes The Next Road For more than a century, transportation has followed a predictable pattern. Roads define movement on land. Runways define movement in air travel. Even as technology has advanced, the structure of how people move has remained largely unchanged. iFlii Incorporated challenges that structure with a different idea. What if the sky was not a distant layer above transportation systems, but a personal space you could enter whenever you chose? That question leads directly to the iFlii iPAV1, a single person electric aerial vehicle designed to make flight immediate, intuitive, and deeply personal. This is not just about building a new aircraft. It is about changing how humans experience motion itself. A New Philosophy Of Flight At the core of iFlii’s mission is a shift in perspective. Traditional aviation treats flight as something you operate. iFlii treats flight as something you experience. The company’s goal is to remove the mechanical distance between human intention and aerial movement. Instead of learning complex controls or adapting to rigid systems, the user becomes the control system. This philosophy gave rise to one of the most distinctive innovations in modern electric aviation, the Body Flight system. Body Flight And The iPAV1 Experience The iFlii iPAV1 does away with everything people expect inside an aircraft cockpit. There are no joysticks. No steering wheels. No pedals. No seated pilot position. Instead, the user lays within the vehicle and interacts with it through natural movement. This system, known as Body Flight, translates body motion directly into flight behavior. Lean forward and the aircraft responds. Shift balance and direction changes. Adjust posture and speed and orientation follow. The experience is designed to feel instinctive rather than technical. Instead of piloting a machine, the user experiences a form of embodied flight where movement and control are unified. For many, this creates a sensation closer to flying than operating, where the aircraft feels like an extension of the human body rather than a separate device. Performance Built For Personal Freedom The iFlii iPAV1 is engineered for real world personal mobility. It offers a flight range of approximately 50 to 55 miles and reaches speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. A key advantage of the system is its battery exchange capability. Instead of waiting for charging cycles, users can swap power units quickly, allowing for minimal downtime and more continuous use throughout the day. The vehicle also supports three distinct flight modes. On board Body Flight control for direct human operation, autonomous mode for assisted navigation, and remote mode for specialized scenarios. In addition, a built in carrier system provides practical utility, allowing lightweight cargo transport alongside personal flight. Together, these features position the iPAV1 as a flexible mobility solution rather than a single purpose aircraft. Safety Without Compromise Introducing personal flight requires more than innovation. It requires trust. iFlii Incorporated integrates multiple safety systems into the iPAV1 to support that requirement. A ballistic parachute system is included for emergency descent scenarios. It is designed with mechanical activation for low altitude deployment, offering a critical backup layer of protection. The aircraft also features internal and external airbag systems. External airbags are designed to function as flotation devices in water landing situations, expanding safety beyond air to surface environments. Advanced sensing technology supports situational awareness. Three dimensional LiDAR systems and smart cameras continuously scan surroundings to detect objects, movement, and potential hazards. These systems work together to support real time avoidance and stability. Safety is not treated as an addition. It is embedded into every layer of design. From Prototype To Real Flight Experience The iFlii iPAV1 is currently in prototype development, with certification targeted for completion by the end of summer 2026. This marks a major transition from concept to real world testing. To introduce the public to this new form of aviation, iFlii is preparing a Demo Day event scheduled for early September 2026. This event will allow selected participants to experience the iPAV1 firsthand and interact directly with the Body Flight system. Registration is available through the company website, where users can sign up for a chance to be among the first to experience personal aerial flight. Looking ahead, broader flight availability is planned for early 2027, with specific locations to be announced as the rollout expands. The Rise Of On Demand Aerial Mobility Beyond the aircraft itself, iFlii is developing a mobile ridesharing platform designed to make personal flight accessible on demand. The idea is simple but transformative. Instead of owning complex aviation equipment or relying on traditional infrastructure, users will be able to request aerial transport through a digital platform. This approach mirrors the evolution of ground based mobility services, but extends it into the sky. It represents a shift from scheduled transportation to immediate, user driven access. In this system, the iFlii iPAV1 becomes part of a connected network where aircraft availability, user demand, and flight routing operate together in real time. Why Body Flight Changes Everything The most significant innovation in the iFlii iPAV1 is not speed or range. It is the removal of separation between human and machine. Body Flight transforms the act of flying from a technical process into a physical extension of the human body. It eliminates the learning curve traditionally associated with aviation controls and replaces it with natural movement. This creates a different emotional experience in the air. Instead of focusing on managing systems, the user focuses on presence. Movement becomes intuitive. Flight becomes personal. It is this shift that defines iFlii’s long term vision for mobility. A New Era Of Personal Aviation The introduction of the iFlii iPAV1 signals more than a product launch. It represents a rethinking of how people move through the world. Electric propulsion, intuitive control systems, and on demand accessibility combine to create a new category of transportation that sits between traditional aviation and personal mobility. If widely adopted, this approach could redefine how cities expand, how commutes function, and how individuals experience distance itself. Step Into The Future Of Flight The iFlii iPAV1 is not positioned as a distant innovation. It is moving toward real world experience within a defined timeline, beginning with prototype completion and culminating in public demo flights. For those interested in the future of personal aviation, this is an opportunity to witness and participate in an emerging shift in mobility. To learn more or register for upcoming Demo Day access, visit the official iFlii website and explore how Body Flight is reshaping the meaning of flight.

UBestMall Advances Global Warehousing and Supply Chain Upgrades, Targets Private-Label and Manufacturing Expansion by 2027
Cross-border e-commerce platform UBestMall has announced the next phase of its growth strategy. While continuing to expand overall transaction volume, the company is simultaneously accelerating the development of its global warehousing network and upgrading its supply chain infrastructure. It has also revealed plans to gradually build out its own private-label brands and production capabilities by 2027. This move is widely viewed as an important signal of the company’s transition from a channel-driven model to a more value-chain-driven model. This latest strategic initiative goes beyond logistics efficiency and also involves structural optimization on the supply side. UBestMall is currently in talks with a broader range of manufacturers, particularly in the high-value goods segment, in order to secure more stable and reliable sourcing channels. Market observers note that as cryptocurrency payments gain wider acceptance in certain cross-border e-commerce scenarios, the user base for these shopping models is also expanding, creating new growth opportunities for platforms in this space. At the operational level, UBestMall has already mapped out plans to establish regional warehousing hubs in Canada, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, and South Africa, creating a logistics network that spans multiple time zones. By combining forward-deployed inventory with localized distribution, the company aims to shorten cross-border delivery times while reducing uncertainty in the fulfillment process. At the same time, the platform is optimizing product circulation routes and inventory management systems to improve coordination and efficiency across the entire supply chain. In parallel, UBestMall is gradually shifting its product mix toward higher-priced, higher-value-added categories. Data from the past year shows a notable increase in the share of high-value orders on the platform, which has contributed to continued growth in gross transaction volume. From an industry perspective, cross-border e-commerce is increasingly moving beyond early-stage traffic competition and toward a more fundamental contest of supply chain strength and fulfillment capability. Against this backdrop, UBestMall’s ongoing investment in warehousing and supply chain operations may help position the company more favorably in the next stage of market competition. In addition, UBestMall’s partner model has delivered tangible results. This model has not only provided strong momentum for the company’s growth, but has also created flexible and stable work opportunities for a large number of partners, helping them generate sustainable income streams. As partners participate in the platform’s daily product circulation activities, many have also begun using the platform to meet their own everyday shopping needs, evolving from operational participants into loyal consumers. This transition has helped UBestMall build a more dynamic and resilient commercial ecosystem. The model — in which collaboration drives consumption and consumption drives growth — has further strengthened the company’s development foundation. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, UBestMall is a product-focused e-commerce platform that drives growth by integrating supply resources and expanding transaction scale, while also broadening user reach through a social distribution mechanism. Its business model is primarily built on product margin differentials and transaction turnover efficiency, giving it a relatively clear strategic path within the cross-border e-commerce sector. As its order structure continues to improve and fulfillment efficiency increases, the platform has also seen steady gains in overall user activity and repeat purchase rates. Looking ahead, UBestMall plans to extend further upstream in the value chain, including the development of private-label brands and the exploration of in-house manufacturing capabilities. The market generally believes that if this transformation is successfully executed, it will mark the company’s gradual evolution from the mid- and lower-end distribution segment toward higher-value manufacturing and brand ownership. Its ability to execute on supply chain integration and global operations will remain a key focus for observers going forward.

DEV.co Merges Automation and Private AI Capabilities to Accelerate Enterprise Adoption
DEV , a leading software development and AI engineering firm, today announced the integration of Automatic.co and LLM.co into a unified platform designed to accelerate enterprise AI adoption. The combined offering brings together agentic automation and private large language model (LLM) infrastructure under a single engineering and deployment framework, enabling organizations to move beyond experimentation and into production-grade AI systems. The integration reflects a broader shift in the enterprise AI landscape. While many organizations have invested in AI tools and pilots over the past several years, few have successfully operationalized those investments at scale. Fragmented systems, security concerns, and a lack of internal expertise have slowed adoption and limited measurable return on investment. DEV.co’s unified platform is designed to address those challenges directly. “Enterprises are no longer asking whether they should adopt AI—they’re asking how quickly they can make it deliver real results,” said Timothy Carter, Chief Revenue Officer at DEV.co. “What we’re seeing across the market is a move away from isolated tools toward integrated systems that drive revenue, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency. By combining Automatic.co and LLM.co, we’re giving organizations a clear path from concept to execution.” At the core of the integration is a simple premise: AI only creates value when it is embedded into business processes. DEV.co’s approach combines three critical layers—intelligence, execution, and engineering—into a single, cohesive system. Automatic.co serves as the execution layer, enabling agentic automation across sales, marketing, operations, and back-office workflows. The platform is designed to replace manual, repetitive processes with intelligent workflows that can operate autonomously, making decisions based on predefined logic and real-time data inputs. These capabilities allow organizations to automate tasks such as lead qualification and routing, CRM updates, internal task orchestration, and multi-step operational processes. By reducing reliance on human intervention for routine workflows, Automatic.co helps businesses increase speed, consistency, and scalability without requiring proportional increases in headcount. Complementing this execution layer is LLM.co, which provides the intelligence layer through private, secure AI infrastructure. LLM.co enables organizations to deploy large language models within controlled environments, including virtual private clouds and on-premise systems. This approach allows enterprises to leverage AI while maintaining full control over their data and minimizing exposure to external risks. LLM.co also supports retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, custom model configurations, and domain-specific fine-tuning, enabling businesses to build AI systems tailored to their proprietary data and workflows. Common use cases include legal document analysis, internal knowledge management systems, financial modeling, and querying large, complex datasets. The integration of Automatic.co and LLM.co creates a system where AI models not only generate insights, but also act on them. “Most organizations we speak with are struggling with the same issue—they have multiple vendors, multiple tools, and no clear way to connect them into something that actually works day-to-day,” said Eric Lamanna, VP of Sales at DEV.co. “What this integration does is remove that friction. Instead of stitching together disconnected solutions, clients can deploy a single system where intelligence and execution are tightly aligned. That dramatically shortens the time from implementation to impact.” DEV.co provides the engineering and integration layer that brings these components together. The firm works directly with clients to design, build, and deploy AI systems that are aligned with specific business objectives, ensuring that automation and intelligence are not only technically sound, but operationally effective. This full-stack approach enables faster deployment timelines, reduces total cost of ownership, and eliminates the inefficiencies associated with managing multiple vendors. It also allows organizations to implement AI in a way that is secure, scalable, and measurable. The timing of the integration aligns with broader market trends. Enterprises are increasingly prioritizing private AI deployments over public, API-based solutions, driven by concerns around data security, compliance, and long-term cost predictability. At the same time, the rise of agentic AI is shifting focus from passive tools to systems that can take action and execute tasks independently. “AI is quickly becoming core infrastructure inside modern organizations, not just an experimental layer on top,” said Samuel Edwards, Chief Marketing Officer at DEV.co. “The companies that win over the next five to ten years will be the ones that operationalize AI the fastest. That requires more than access to models—it requires integration, orchestration, and a clear path to execution. This integration is about delivering exactly that.” By consolidating automation and private AI capabilities into a single platform, DEV.co is positioning itself to support enterprises at every stage of the AI adoption lifecycle—from initial strategy through full-scale deployment. The company is now offering consultations for organizations looking to evaluate their current AI stack, identify opportunities for automation, and deploy pilot systems designed to deliver measurable outcomes within defined timeframes. About DEV.co DEV.co is a software development and AI engineering firm specializing in building scalable, enterprise-grade technology solutions.

Structure Group Wins a 2026 Global Recognition Award for Building Canada's Most Trusted Industrial Equipment Rental Model
Structure Group , a Canadian provider of rescue, rigging, and rope access equipment, has been awarded a 2026 Global Recognition Award for outstanding performance across revenue growth, workplace culture, and customer experience. Operating as the sole provider of specialized equipment rental services in Canada, the company expanded its operating revenue from $2,000,933 in 2022 to $5,578,691 in 2025, representing a 179 percent increase over three years. This recognition places Structure Group among the most consistent and disciplined performers in the Canadian industrial services sector. Photo Courtesy of Structure Group Global Recognition Awards employs the Rasch model, a psychometric framework that produces a linear measurement scale, enabling precise comparisons across nominees from different industries. Structure Group's submission was distinguished by measurable financial results, verifiable operational practices, and documented client retention across all three nominated categories. Its performance placed it in the upper tier of the evaluation, setting it apart from a competitive field of nominees spanning multiple sectors. A Business Model Built Around Risk Transfer Structure Group's growth is rooted in a deliberate and uncommon approach: assuming financial risk on behalf of clients before a project is formally awarded, which requires the company to consult with clients, review upcoming scopes of work, and study market trends four to six months in advance. Equipment is acquired based on anticipated client needs, so that if a project does not proceed, the client incurs no cash, logistics, or planning costs. This model has cultivated a level of trust that translates directly into repeat engagements and long-term client relationships. Structure Group also maintains rental relationships with firms that compete against one another, including companies it has itself bid against for contracts. It discloses these relationships openly rather than concealing them. When a conflict of interest arises, the company informs the affected client directly, choosing transparency over convenience. This ethical standard has achieved a 100% rental client retention rate, with no departures recorded since the company began operating under this model. Workplace Culture That Reflects Operational Discipline Structure Group's internal culture reflects the same deliberateness applied to its client relationships, as the company has not eliminated a single staff position throughout its period of significant growth. When workload increases, leadership convenes with the team to assess whether the organization is genuinely stretched or simply responding to short-term volume spikes. This measured approach prevents the disruptive cycle of rapid hiring during peak periods and workforce reductions during slower intervals. This pattern erodes institutional knowledge and staff morale across many businesses in the resource sector. Collective decision-making governs how Structure Group approaches expansion, with additional capacity pursued only after the full team has determined that sustained demand warrants it. Experienced staff who understand the company's operational standards deliver more consistent service, reinforcing the direct connection between workforce stability and client satisfaction. This discipline has enabled Structure Group to sustain both service quality and revenue growth across three consecutive years without overextending its resources. Client Experience as a Competitive Advantage Structure Group's client experience record is built on a foundation of foresight and accountability, as the company absorbs the financial exposure associated with capital investments before projects are formally confirmed. Primary field service clients, including mining operators, oil sands companies, and heavy industries, benefit from a service model that eliminates logistical and financial risks for them. The consistency of this approach has made Structure Group an indispensable partner in sectors where operational reliability carries significant financial consequences. The company's rental fleet, which serves rope access and inspection companies across Canada, has maintained a perfect retention record, with every client continuing to engage Structure Group since the model was introduced. This outcome reflects a client experience that is not incidental but is the product of deliberate risk management, ethical disclosure, and sustained investment in service quality. Structure Group's ability to grow revenue while retaining every client it has served demonstrates a standard of customer experience that few businesses in any sector can substantiate with verifiable data. Final Words Alex Sterling, spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards, offered a pointed assessment of what Structure Group's recognition reflects, emphasizing that the results reflect a standard of excellence that extends well beyond financial metrics. "Structure Group represents exactly the standard we look for, because its revenue growth is exceptional, and what makes it stand out is that this growth is backed by a disciplined culture and a client relationship model that has produced a retention record most businesses in any sector would find extraordinary," he said. Sterling noted that the award is designed to surface precisely this kind of performance, one that demonstrates a coherent operating philosophy supported by evidence across multiple dimensions. Structure Group has built something rare in the Canadian industrial services sector: a business that grows by reducing friction for its clients, retains every rental customer it has served, and sustains its workforce through principled internal decision-making. Revenue growth of 179 percent over three years, zero client departures, and zero layoffs form a coherent record of performance that reflects a business operating at a world-class level. Its 2026 Global Recognition Award acknowledges what becomes possible when risk management, transparency, and team discipline are treated not as abstract values but as operating principles guiding every decision. About Global Recognition Awards Global Recognition Awards is an international organization that recognizes exceptional companies and individuals who have significantly contributed to their industry.

Newman U Reading Specialist Dyslexia Program: First in Kansas IDA Accredited
Newman University's Master of Science in Education (MSED) Reading Specialist program with a Dyslexia Emphasis is the first university program in Kansas to earn International Dyslexia Association (IDA) Accreditation PLUS status. This highest level of recognition from the IDA follows a rigorous peer-review evaluation against the association's Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading, signaling to Kansas educators that the program meets nationally validated benchmarks for preparing specialists who work with struggling readers. More information is available at https://newmanu.edu/academics/msed/msed-reading-specialist The accreditation arrives as Kansas legislators recently passed House Bill 2485, legislation addressing the need for qualified Reading Specialists in Kansas school districts. With dyslexia affecting up to 20% of students and Kansas educators actively seeking specialized training, the new state requirement underscores both the timeliness of Newman's program and the acute need for qualified professionals equipped to address the literacy crisis in classrooms across the state. Designed for full-time teachers, the 30-hour, 10-course master's degree emphasizes immediate and practical classroom application. The program also offers nationally recognized professional certification opportunities from the Center for Effective Reading Instruction (CERI), giving graduates dual credentials that validate their expertise. Through intensive summer workshops and supervised practicum experiences, educators apply research-based strategies directly with students, then report progress and receive ongoing coaching to ensure they can translate theory into measurable outcomes. Amy Taylor and Jane Hayes, who co-founded R.E.A.D. Redefined and serve as adjunct professors at Newman University, designed and lead the program. Two years ago, R.E.A.D. Redefined itself earned IDA Accreditation PLUS status as an independent teacher-training program. Taylor and Hayes have brought that same rigor to the university partnership. "Returning to school for a master's degree is a big decision in regard to time and financial resources," Taylor said. "With the IDA's evaluation from nationally recognized experts, teachers can now be more confident in their decision that they will gain the skillset needed to work with those who struggle most in schools." Jane Hayes emphasized the program's focus on practical application. "Across the board, we are facing a literacy crisis," she said. "It takes all of us working together to change reading outcomes, however, in order to do that, educators need the application component missing from some programs. This is a practical application program." The IDA Accreditation PLUS designation requires programs to undergo detailed peer-review evaluation, ensuring alignment with the association's standards for effective reading instruction. By meeting these criteria, Newman University equips educators with research-based, scholarly best practices that can be applied immediately in classrooms where students struggle with reading, writing, and spelling. The vetting process gives teachers confidence that their investment of time and resources will yield the specialized skills necessary to meet state mandates and improve student outcomes. The first course for the Summer Cohort begins July 6-17, and applications are open now. Kansas educators interested in enrolling can submit their applications through the program website.
