Kevel Announces Retail Media Cloud™ Ushering in the Age of Differentiation for Retail Media Networks

Kevel

Kevel, the API-led ad serving company, is announcing its new solution: the Kevel Retail Media Cloud™ to deepen its retail media focus and drive advanced product innovation for retailers and marketplaces with on-site and in-store retail media ad products. The new Retail Media Cloud solution unifies Kevel’s ad serving, forecasting, audience building and self-serve capabilities, helping retail media publishers and networks differentiate themselves in the increasingly crowded retail media market. One of the greatest challenges across the retail media space is the inability for multi-channel retailers to utilize their own sophisticated data models, algorithms, and machine learning capabilities within ad serving environments. The Retail Media Cloud changes that, allowing retailers to integrate their own relevancy scoring and machine learning capabilities to target their ads and provide relevant customer experiences. The introduction of the Retail Media Cloud solution comes at a pivotal time for the billion-dollar retail media industry as advertisers are demanding inventory, flexibility and ROI from retail media platforms. The Retail Media Cloud was created to help retail media and marketplace clients capture this demand by enabling them to offer the best mix of data targeting, ad formats and measurement while preserving their brand, data assets and shopper experience. “Retailers feel stuck turning to commodity solutions and offering the same old ad formats through limited black-box third party providers or their own in-house solution. This may grow their bottom line to 3% GMV in the short term, but won’t last in competition with innovative players like Amazon and Walmart, who are seeing 8% GMV,” says James Avery, Founder and CEO of Kevel. “Retailers are either frustrated with the slow development, high costs, and limited scale of in-house solutions, or they’re sick of the latency and lack of control they have with third-party providers against a backdrop of data privacy chaos due to third-party cookie practices.” Kevel’s Retail Media Cloud allows retailers to de-risk building a unique ad platform with flexible tools to create a RMN, with key features like campaign management automation, decisioning and the flexibility to run any ad format or selection method they can dream of, all while keeping their data safe and secure at scale. Innovative retailers and marketplaces like Edmunds, Slickdeals and Farfetch are driving the next wave of innovation and simultaneously bringing their points of differentiation within their control including ad formats, site experience, use of unique data and the ability to provide measurement to their valuable advertising partners. Building on Kevel’s Retail Media Cloud allows them to retain the benefits of world class adtech that they own without the heavy build costs and risks associated with partners. "Kevel's APIs helped us build the fastest, most innovative ad product in our industry." - Director of Ad Engineering, Edmunds. "Our homegrown solution served us well, but lacked some functionality around reporting, targeting, and budget pacing. Kevel allowed us to easily add these features and opened up opportunities we didn't have before." - Eugene Faynberg, VP of Ad Operations, Slickdeals. Through unique on-site ad units, improved data control, and enhanced shopper experience and margin management, retailers can now capture more media spend through their own in-house ad platform while reducing their build costs. Kevel’s flexible API-based ad infrastructure is designed to help its customers differentiate their ad platforms in an overcrowded market. With this unique position in the market, Kevel is dedicated to Innovation and focusing on the current and future needs of the evolving retail media industry as it enters this new age of differentiation. For more information about Kevel Retail Media Cloud™, please visit www.kevel.com. About Kevel Kevel powers innovative, flexible ad tech infrastructure APIs that fuel its ad serving solutions. It’s unique offering empowers multi-brand retailers to launch differentiated retail media networks that improve the shopper experience while maintaining total control of their first-party data. Kevel believes that every digital retailer should have the capability to scale their own distinct ad platform, just like big tech players like Amazon. Customers like Edmunds, Klarna, Delivery Hero, Leroy Merlin, Slickdeals, and other leading retailers and marketplaces all launched their own retail media network with Kevel. The company has garnered numerous accolades, most recently earning recognition as one of the leading 100 innovative tech start-ups driving the future of brand-to-consumer in 2023 and awarded the MarTech Breakthrough Award for best overall ad tech company in 2022.

Increasing Fraud in the Mining Industry Drives Demand for Innovative New Tech Solutions

MarketJar

In 2024, the mining industry is facing more hurdles than ever before, creating an urgent need for a major digital overhaul. Despite the digital revolution reshaping global industries, the $11 trillion mining market still relies heavily on paper records and manual spreadsheets. This archaic approach not only hampers efficiency but has laid the groundwork for a series of high-profile fraud cases. Recent scandals have thrust this issue into the spotlight. Europe's largest copper producer Aurubis encountered a staggering €185 million (US$202 million) discrepancy in its inventory, a direct result of fraudulent activities involving manipulated paperwork and tampered samples. 1 Another example is Trafigura, one of the world’s largest commodity traders, who fell victim to a $590 million fraud scheme involving low-value materials falsified as nickel. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In the last year, Glencore cut ties with a Chinese metals merchant after $500 million of copper went missing at a storage site, 2 US trading company Gerald Group bought tin concentrate in Brazil that turned out to be sand and JPMorgan stored bags of nickel at the London Metal Exchange that were actually filled with rocks. 3 Clearly, the entire industry is in desperate need of updated systems that can connect the entire supply chain and in turn, mitigate risk and increase efficiency. An upgrade could also significantly increase profits. According to the World Economic Forum, digital transformation is estimated to generate more than $320 billion of value in the mining & metals industry over the next decade, including $77 billion through an integrated ecosystem that promotes seamless data exchange across the sector. To combat the industry's traditionally slow embrace of new technologies, MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV:MHUB) (OTCQB:MHUBD) has developed a digital supply chain platform that seamlessly upgrades the metals and mining industry, helping to make the entire raw material supply chain more efficient, resilient and sustainable. Making Raw Material Supply Chains More Efficient, Resilient and Sustainable MineHub Technologies ’ enterprise-grade digital supply-chain platform connects buyers, sellers, labs, and financiers in a digitally integrated workflow that is usable, shareable, verifiable and perhaps most importantly, unforgeable. By using MineHub ’s platform to digitize their supply chains, companies can see and manage their operations in real time, making them stronger and more flexible. They can also automatically handle Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting, which is becoming more and more essential as nations combat climate change. MineHub helps get rid of old manual processes, helping companies operate more efficiently, reduce costs, enhance security, optimize working capital, and achieve greater transparency throughout global supply chains. MineHub ’s proven technology has already caught the attention of global mining giants like Capstone Copper, Sumitomo Corporation and Codelco, which are using the platform for logistics, compliance, trade management, and financing operations. On March 19, MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV:MHUB) (OTCQB:MHUBD) expanded its partnership with Sumitomo, one of the largest integrated trading companies in the world, to further solidify their collaboration in promoting commercial growth and integrating Sumitomo's refined copper operations into the MineHub platform. This development builds on the initial partnership that started in February 2022, marking a significant advancement in the relationship between the two firms. MineHub Technologies solidified a commercial relationship with Sumitomo in August 2022 when the global trading giant subscribed to MineHub’s platform and enterprise applications as a paying client. This partnership took a significant step forward in June 2023 when Sumitomo invested $1 million into MineHub. This investment aimed to fast-track their shared objective of digitizing the metal concentrates market. It was strategically intended to bolster the adoption of MineHub 's platform and its Concentrates Application, positioning it as the new standard for settling metal concentrate transactions. With this recently announced expansion, Sumitomo will not only support sales initiatives but also contribute to increasing the commercial presence of the platform, extending its involvement beyond the concentrates business. This broader collaboration underscores Sumitomo's trust in MineHub 's ability to add value across various aspects of the metals market. MineHub Technologies also recently launched its platform with Codelco, the world’s largest copper producer. Following the three-year contract awarded on August 9, 2023, MineHub implemented and went live with Codelco, revolutionizing efficiency and transparency in mining. The partnership aims to digitize Codelco’s global refined copper business, validating MineHub ’s technology. Through MineHub ’s advanced platform, Codelco enhances visibility, traceability, and operational efficiencies, improving the overall customer experience. MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV:MHUB) (OTCQB:MHUBD) also recently announced enhancements to its platform with the launch of its Business Confirmations Module, a digital tool designed to streamline the contract execution process. This innovative software enables efficient negotiations, reduces errors and disputes, and improves internal compliance. By providing a centralized platform for sharing structured contract terms, MineHub 's module simplifies and standardizes the negotiation workflow, enhancing efficiency in contract negotiations. Key features include streamlined negotiations, reduced errors, and improved internal compliance. The module is now available to all MineHub customers, following extensive testing and rollout to select customers. In December 2023, MineHub entered into a strategic partnership with leading mining and commodity analysis labs, including ALS Global. This collaboration streamlines the assay exchange process, offering users a seamless digital solution for shipment nominations. Integrating multiple labs into the MineHub ecosystem enhances the value proposition to the supply chain, particularly for large mining companies, helping accelerate workflows, reduce manual efforts, and maintain transparency. This integration allows MineHub to incorporate chemical results of commodities being assayed, providing unparalleled benefits to its customers. As we navigate the digital transformation that is reshaping industries worldwide, MineHub stands out as a leader in revolutionizing the traditionally paper-reliant mining sector. By offering streamlined SaaS solutions for critical functions such as order collaboration, ESG reporting, and assay exchange, MineHub Technologies not only demonstrates its advantage but also its growing influence on a global scale.

SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ: SKYX) is at the forefront of integrating advanced technology into everyday living spaces, aiming to make homes and buildings safer, smarter, and more efficient. With a robust portfolio of 77 U.S. and global patents and patent-pending applications, SKYX boasts a comprehensive suite of platform technologies designed to revolutionize the way we interact with our environments. The cornerstone of SKYX's innovation lies in its commitment to high-quality and user-friendly designs, spanning various domains from lighting to home décor. In September 2023, SKYX achieved a significant milestone with the issuance of five new utility patents in the U.S. and international markets, solidifying its position as a trailblazer in advanced and smart technologies. One of SKYX's most notable achievements is its initiative to standardize safety with the National Electrical Code (NEC), revolutionizing electrical installations and enhancing overall safety standards. Spearheaded by industry leaders Mark Earley and Eric Jacobson, SKYX's code team is dedicated to mitigating hazards and ensuring unparalleled safety across residential and commercial environments. Financially robust, SKYX boasts $23.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments, providing a solid foundation for growth and innovation as of June 30, 2023. The renewal of a five-year global licensing master service agreement with GE Technology Development, Inc. further amplifies SKYX's reach and influence in the industry, enabling effective monetization of its technologies while safeguarding intellectual property rights.

For investors seeking opportunities in AI and smart home technology, SKYX presents a compelling investment opportunity. The company's disruptive technologies, strategic partnerships, and relentless pursuit of innovation position SKYX as a frontrunner in the smart living revolution, promising unparalleled safety, convenience, and efficiency for generations to come. The surge in demand for AI services has propelled chip stocks into the spotlight, with graphics processing units (GPUs) playing a crucial role in training and running AI models. While Nvidia has dominated the GPU market, competitors like Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) present compelling investment opportunities with their strong foothold and promising outlook in AI. For over 50 years, AMD has been at the forefront of innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies. Its products are trusted by billions of people, leading Fortune 500 companies, and cutting-edge research institutions worldwide. As Nvidia's biggest threat in AI, AMD commands the second-largest market share in GPUs. Despite joining the AI landscape later than its rival, AMD has refocused its efforts to prioritize this burgeoning industry, positioning itself for significant growth in the years ahead. In December, AMD unveiled its MI300X AI GPU, directly challenging Nvidia's offerings. This move has already attracted attention from tech giants like Microsoft and Meta Platforms, signaling a promising start for AMD in the AI market. AMD's ambitions extend beyond GPU market share. The company aims to carve its own niche within AI by emphasizing AI-powered PCs. With AI integration driving a projected surge in PC shipments, AMD stands to benefit from this trend. Analysts project a bright future for AMD, with its free cash flow exceeding $1 billion last year. Projections indicate potential earnings of over $7 per share in the next two fiscal years, translating to a stock price of $383 based on forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) metrics. With a forward-looking approach and growing prospects in AI, AMD offers investors the opportunity for substantial returns. Considering its current trajectory, AMD could see its stock price surge by 96% by fiscal 2026, making it a compelling investment choice for those seeking to capitalize on the AI revolution. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE: TSM) stands as a global leader in the semiconductor foundry business, providing cutting-edge integrated circuit solutions. With its state-of-the-art facilities and unparalleled expertise, TSM plays a crucial role in enabling the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies worldwide. As the demand for AI services continues to surge, TSM's position in the market remains robust. The company's specialization in complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) wafer fabrication processes allows it to produce high-performance chips tailored for AI applications, including logic, mixed-signal, radio frequency, and embedded memory semiconductors. TSM's strategic partnerships with industry giants such as Apple, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm underscore its significance in the AI ecosystem. These collaborations leverage TSM's advanced manufacturing capabilities to develop AI hardware solutions that deliver superior computational performance and efficiency. Recent financial reports highlight TSM's strong performance amidst the growing demand for AI chips. In its February revenue announcement, TSM reported NT$181.65 billion (US$5.78 billion), representing a month-over-month decrease of 15.8% due to the Lunar New Year holiday. However, this figure marked an 11.3% increase compared to the previous year. Additionally, consolidated revenue for the first two months of the year amounted to NT$397.43 billion, reflecting a 9.4% year-over-year growth. Looking ahead, TSM remains optimistic about its prospects in the AI market. While seasonal effects may impact first-quarter results, strong demand for high-performance computing solutions is expected to drive future growth. The company projects first-quarter revenue in the range of US$18 billion to US$18.8 billion, underscoring its confidence in its ability to capitalize on the growing AI trend. As AI continues to reshape industries and drive innovation, TSM stands poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of semiconductor technology. With its track record of excellence and commitment to innovation, TSM remains a key player in the AI revolution, offering investors a compelling opportunity to participate in this transformative trend.

AGBOOST SCALES AI-ENABLED GENETIC DATA ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FOR CATTLE PRODUCERS

AgBoost

After years of product development and field testing, AgBoost announced the global commercial expansion of its cloud-based data analysis platform that helps cattle producers interpret genomic data for selective breeding, health, market value and nutrition management. Despite a 65% increase in U.S. beef herd productivity over five decades, according to United Stated Department of Agriculture (USDA), rising demand for sustainably produced meat and shrinking profit margins underscore the importance of genetic data for herd efficiency. "Too often, cattle producers invest in DNA technology without unlocking its full potential," said Sean Akadiri, founder and CEO of AgBoost, at the 2024 Animal AgTech Innovation Summit and World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit. "Our platform revolutionizes decision-making, empowering ranchers with faster, more precise choices. By putting genetics at their fingertips, we're reducing the average $2,000 loss per calf during breeding and development, giving ranchers a decisive advantage over the competition.” Traditionally, breeding decisions rely on visual appraisals and multi-generation written records of estimated genetic merit. AgBoost's software combines genomic and production data, including live birth weight and diverse phenotypic information, for individual animals. Users can track animals individually or group them, such as in replacement heifer groups. By selecting specific traits, producers gain a comprehensive view to inform feeding, animal health, and marketing decisions effectively. “Genomic testing data can feel like deciphering hieroglyphics to most producers. But AgBoost transforms complexity into simplicity, presenting data in a visual wheel that sparks meaningful conversations. Now, we can swiftly identify the top bulls with complementary traits for desired calves,” said Nick Jorgensen, CEO and CFO of Jorgensen Land and Cattle, who not only licenses the platform for its large seed stock operation but also invested in the company. Seedstock cattle producers depend on analytics for marketing in bull and production sales. AgBoost visually showcases genetic value and identifies DNA-linked traits, like production, maternal, and carcass traits, aiding in sorting and selecting specific characteristics. The tool also allows for scenario planning, including establishing keep/cull lines to distinguish the top and bottom of the gene pool. Poised for Rapid Expansion into New Geographies and Livestock Introduced to U.S. cattle producers in 2018, AgBoost now holds millions of genomic data records for individual cows. With recent patent approvals, the company aims to expand into top-producing markets like Brazil, Canada, China, and the United Kingdom. The global beef market, valued at $526.50 billion in 2023, is projected to grow at a 4.2 percent CAGR by 2030. Currently, AgBoost supports all sizes of seedstock and commercial cow/calf producers, regardless of breed association, with an interactive pedigree and sire link, with a breeding suggestion calculator coming in late 2024. As pioneers in the market, the company intends to broaden individual producer subscriptions, enterprise licensing agreements, and tailor the platform for additional livestock and related industries to meet current demand. For more information, visit www.Ag-Boost.com. About AgBoost Established in 2013 by engineers and cattle producers as a subsidiary of the animal agtech leader, Agric-Bioformatics, Inc., AgBoost pioneers affordable, user-friendly genetic management tools for livestock producers worldwide. Our comprehensive software streamlines the entire process—from ordering tests to interpreting data for actionable insights and creating effective marketing tools. At AgBoost, our mission is clear: to prioritize producers by empowering them to own and comprehend their data, unlocking maximum growth potential for the future.
