GET Mobile ID is now accepted at TSA PreCheck®

GET Group North America

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Utah Driver License Division (DLD) and GET Group North America announced today that TSA will now accept Utah mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) via the GET Mobile app as a valid travel credential in TSA PreCheck lines at select airports around the country. Utah’s Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), PHX, BWI, DCA, DFW, MIA and ATL are among the dozen domestic airports where mDLs are now accepted by TSA. Travelers at these and other locations can share their Utah-issued mDL on either an iOS or Android device. This marks the first time that travelers can use an mDL on an Android device at TSA checkpoints, as well as an expansion of where TSA accepts mDL credentials. Utahns interested in acquiring their mDL can do so through the Utah DLD website. “You can now go wallet-free in SLC,” said Alex Kambanis, president and managing director at GET Group North America. “We are excited to work with TSA and other entities as they recognize the efficiency, enhanced security, and privacy of mobile driver licenses. We’re proud to offer an mDL as an option for Utahns at SLC and other airports nationwide.” The Utah DLD, in collaboration with other state agencies and GET Group NA, launched Utah’s mDL program in 2021. Utah mDL is now available to every cardholder in Utah, and thousands of Utahns have opted in. Utah is the first state in the U.S. to launch a production mDL that is fully compliant with ISO 18013–5 — the international standard that ensures global acceptance as legal ID and allows information such as name or age to be confirmed without the mobile phone ever changing hands. “Utah residents can save time at participating airports when they use their mDL at TSA PreCheck, because they don’t need to present any other documents,” said Chris Caras, director of the Utah Driver License Division. “This is a big step forward in the acceptance of mDLs in Utah; one that we expect will increase the number of Utahns who opt into the program out of a desire for convenience, security, and ownership of their identification.” GET Mobile ID gives users control over their ID by allowing users to select what specific information is shared when presenting their mDL. The app also ensures that only the cardholder can track when or where their mDL is used. The Utah Mobile Driver’s license is available to all Utahns with a valid ID. TSA endorsed the concept of the mobile driver’s license in April 2021 with a notice in the Federal Register and by announcing a request for information regarding mobile driver’s licenses. Accepting mobile driver’s licenses is one of the steps TSA is taking under the Executive Order on Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery. TSA is interested in potential gains in efficiency, as well as the security and privacy enhancements provided by mobile driver’s licenses compared to physical cards. Additionally, contactless ID will have health and safety benefits, protecting both the public and TSA Officers. For more information, visit http s://mobiledl.us/states/utah-mdl/ About GET Group North America With over 30 year's experience, GET Group has worked with governments around the world and enabled them to deliver passports, driver’s licenses and other high assurance identity documents.

ToolsGroup Announces Significant Enhancements To Its Industry-Leading Demand Planning Solution

ToolsGroup

ToolsGroup, a global leader in retail and supply chain planning and optimization software, has announced the latest version of its Service Optimizer 99+ (SO99+) software, making major advancements in its forecasting and demand sensing capabilities. This is just the latest of the company’s significant strides towards making supply chains a force for good by helping organizations guarantee service, reduce excess stock, and increase profits. “ToolsGroup SO99+ improved the accuracy of our forecasts for slower moving items by 5-10%,” said Sarah Voorhees, Vice President of Demand and Inventory Planning at American Tire Distributors. “Better probabilistic forecasts translate into better fulfillment, helping us reduce inventory, carry less safety stock, and increase revenue through fewer stockouts.” With the release of v8.60, ToolsGroup aims to further improve customer experience and supply chain performance with expanded capabilities that now deliver: - A New Product Introduction (NPI) Dashboard that provides an interactive display for SO99+ NPI forecasting. The dashboard enables immediate what-if scenario planning for all the attributes that may impact the performance of a new product introduction, a deeper understanding of the variables that affect the success of a new product launch, and the rationale supporting the projections for the launch forecast. - Automatic Forecast Model Backtesting that eliminates the typically time-consuming, manual calibration process of configuring, defining, and simulating forecast models, delivering significant forecasting accuracy improvements nearly automatically. - Re-Forecasting Based on Pre-orders that empowers users to incorporate actual orders into probabilistic forecasts to better determine future demand, improving short- and medium-term forecast accuracy while enabling customers to respond quickly and proactively to market changes. - Machine Learning Speed and Accuracy Enhancements, thanks to the implementation of new light gradient-boosting machine functionality (LightGBM) into the SO99+ machine learning engines. By incorporating this advanced modeling technique, SO99+ delivers unmatched machine learning scalability and results, ensuring faster processing and major forecast accuracy improvements. - Flexible Forecast Aggregation that simplifies demand planning by allowing demand teams to plan at the aggregate level, while retaining the variables and details necessary for accurate supply planning processes. This ensures higher-quality, more flexible forecasts because SKUs are no longer restricted to a single hierarchical view. “As businesses continue to face significant disruptions across their supply chains, new challenges are constantly rising to the forefront. Demand planners need to be able to act quickly and decisively,” says ToolsGroup CEO, Inna Kuznetsova. “With this release, we have improved the power of our demand planning and demand sensing abilities in SO99+ and further enable our customers to navigate uncertainty and make the most informed planning decisions faster. More accurate forecasts translate into less waste and greater customer satisfaction, making supply chains a force for good in demand.” These exciting new capabilities add to the industry leading innovations in SO99+ which include: - Probabilistic Forecasting that combines historical, real-time, and other demand-relevant data into an probabilistic model that determines the possibility (and likelihood) of a range of outcomes, accounting for risk and enabling greater planning dexterity. It seamlessly self-adjusts to a wide variety of demand behaviors, generating optimal forecasts in uncertain demand scenarios. - Demand Sensing that helps users better leverage granular data to capture changes in the market before they happen, ensuring proactive adjustments in demand planning and lower downstream latency while still delivering optimal service levels, ensuring fewer lost sales and increased revenues. - Self-Adaptive, Frequency-Based Forecasting that effectively forecasts both fast-moving items and products with intermittent demand by capturing network-wide changes and events and accounting for both order size and order frequency, delivering the most accurate forecast available. - Machine Learning Engines that are mapped to every unique attribute that can affect a forecast, from seasonality and promotions to causals and external factors, ensuring the most accurate and robust forecasts on the market. With SO99+, ToolsGroup provides the power of dynamic planning to over 365 customers across 45 countries, enabling intelligent decision making at the speed of business that transforms supply chain performance. Customers report a 5-10 percentage point improvement in forecast accuracy and a 3-5 percentage point increase in service levels while simultaneously achieving a 20-30% inventory reduction. Built-in automation cuts the planning workload by up to 90% and helps companies reduce waste by 10-30%. For more information about SO99+, read our blog on the 8.6 release HERE. ToolsGroup’s innovative AI-powered solutions enable retailers, distributors, and manufacturers to navigate through supply chain uncertainty. Our retail and supply chain planning suites empower a new level of fast, intelligent decision making and unlock powerful business improvements in forecast accuracy, service levels, and inventory - delighting customers and achieving financial and ESG KPIs.

CleverTap’s Fintech Benchmark Report: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps sign up within week one

CleverTap

CleverTap, the modern integrated retention cloud, released its Industry Benchmark Report for Fintech Apps 2022. As fintech apps continue to grow more popular, the number of players vying for market share has increased. This has subsequently reduced customer retention and “stickiness” for any one brand. Therefore, today more than ever, it is crucial that fintech companies find ways to drive customer “stickiness” by engaging users in effective ways that eventually drive transactions and fuel growth. The report reflects data collected from Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America. The report gives marketers a truly holistic view of key metrics within the fintech app landscape.It also spans a wide variety of fintech apps, including, but not limited to, mobile payment apps, cryptocurrency, and block chain services, along with banking and insurance among others. These insights will not only serve as a helpful starting point for developing successful engagement strategies, but also assist in understanding how an app fares in comparison to global averages. Some of the key metrics in the report include: Install to sign-up rate: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps (21%) end up signing up within the first week. Average time to sign-up: 70% of the users that sign-up, do so within 75 seconds of launching the app for the first time. Sign-up to conversion rate: 95% of newly signed-up users make at least one financial transaction in the first month. Average time to convert: 76% of newly signed-up users move from onboarding to deeper-in-the-funnel engagement within an average of 7 days. Session frequency: On average, fintech app users launch their app around 11 times a month. Average repeat transaction rate for new users: 15% of newly signed-up users complete more than one transaction in the first week. Average click-through rate for push notifications: On average, 9% of Android users and 6% of iOS users will click on and interact with push notifications. Average click-through rate for in-app notifications: The click-through rate for in-app notifications is 24%, that’s about 3 times more than that of push notifications. Average email open rate: 34% users open emails sent by fintech companies Average Stickiness Quotient: Fintech apps enjoy a stickiness quotient of 22%, that indicates nearly one-quarter of MAUs consistently return to their fintech apps “The fintech industry has seen exponential growth in the last few years. Given the relentless competition within the space, fintech platforms need to step up their Omnichannel engagement efforts to better retain customers,” said Jacob Joseph, VP-Data Science, CleverTap. “The benchmark metrics laid out in our report provide a great starting point for growth marketers looking to develop effective marketing strategies. They will be able to compare numbers against global averages and pinpoint which aspects they are excelling at and which areas could use some attention or innovation.” 95% of new fintech users complete a monetary transaction in the first month. This shows that while users see value in fintech apps, it’s important to adopt customized user engagement strategies to boost retention on the platform. Today there is a real need for fintech brands to bake-in effective marketing strategies within their apps. Users will remain responsive as long as the experience is engaging and seamless. The benchmark report helps fintech apps understand how to build successful mobile communication campaigns, and also allows growth marketers to discover areas that require greater focus.

Foresight’s Technology Recognized as a Significant Breakthrough by Israel’s Ministry of Defense

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today that its QuadSight® stereovision solution was recognized as a significant technological breakthrough by Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The QuadSight solution was tested extensively for more than two years in challenging weather and environmental conditions by the Administration for Research and Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure of Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The tests were conducted to search for an alternative sensor to replace active LiDAR sensors. In addition, the performance of Foresight’s high-resolution point cloud was tested against LiDAR on platforms designed for autonomous driving. The Ministry of Defense concluded that Foresight's passive stereo technology exceeded all requirements and declared it to be a significant technological breakthrough for defense applications. Autonomous vehicles require a sensing system that enables accurate perception of the surrounding environment in order to navigate and detect obstacles. Currently, the most commonly used sensors for military vehicles are active LiDAR sensors which constantly broadcast their location and can be easily detected by the enemy. Foresight’s passive, non-emitting stereo capabilities provide unique 3D perception of the environment. These capabilities are vital to the defense industry, as they leave no energy signature discernible to an adversary. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, Foresight is using forward-looking statements in this press release when it discusses its belief that its passive, non-emitting stereo capabilities provide unique 3D perception of the environment that are vital to the defense industry, as they leave no energy signature discernible to an adversary.
