The Future of Supply Chain Transparency: How Security Matters' Blockchain Solution is Changing the Game

Security Matters PLC

In a recent interview with New to the Street’s Ana Berry, Haggai Alon, founder and CEO of Security Matters (NASDAQ: SMX), discussed how the company's technology is revolutionizing supply chain authentication, traceability, and transparency. Security Matters' innovative solution marks materials with a virtual memory of their origination, with the data recorded on the blockchain. This technology is helping to create transparency and efficiency across various industries, such as fashion and plastics. Supply Chain Authentication Market Estimated CAGR of 12.6% Between 2022 and 2031 The horizon for the supply chain authentication market is brimming with potential, as global growth prospects appear bright. A remarkable $2 billion market size in 2021 is expected to surge to an astonishing $6.3 billion by 2031, propelled by a stupendous compound annual growth rate of 12.6% from 2022 to 2031. This momentous growth is rooted in the escalating requirement for supply chain transparency, escalating occurrences of cyberattacks throughout supply chains, and the implementation of innovative technologies to amplify security measures. As the market continues to expand, the demand for secure and reliable supply chain solutions has become a driving force. Businesses are seeking out innovative tools that can help them identify and mitigate potential risks in real time. With greater visibility and transparency, decision-making is becoming more informed and precise than ever before. Furthermore, the cloud is proving to be a game-changer, with its ability to support various architectures and developer tools that can enhance both professional and web-based applications. So, it's no surprise that cloud deployment types are expected to experience the highest growth during the forecast period. SMX’s Technology and Unique Characteristics By reducing dependence on sourcing materials from subcontractors outside the United States and increasing the ability to use waste materials, Security Matters' technology enables companies to maintain growth and profitability. This is achieved by being present at every stage of a material's lifecycle, from virgin raw material to end-of-life recycling. Allen believes that growth and sustainability can coexist, with Security Matters' technology providing a unique toolbox for companies to maintain a healthy economy. By helping companies use more recycled content and providing a single technology that covers everything from sourcing to production to recycling, Security Matters gives businesses a competitive advantage. The company originated from the Israeli government, with a team of scientists developing the technology and filing nearly 100 patents on 50 different materials. One example of the technology's application is in the fashion industry, particularly in the leather market. Security Matters' technology marks leather at various stages of production, allowing brands to provide their customers with greater transparency and fostering a new level of relationship in the digital world. Blockchain plays a crucial role in Security Matters' solution, as unique molecular sequences are added at each stage of the material's lifecycle. This provides an additional layer of data per the request of stakeholders or brands, which can be read and extracted at any stage with a single reader. This comprehensive approach to supply chain transparency has the potential to significantly impact industries worldwide as the market continues to grow at a rapid pace. In conclusion, Security Matters is at the forefront of innovation in supply chain authentication, traceability, and transparency with its groundbreaking technology. As the market size for supply chain authentication continues to soar, driven by increasing demand for transparency and heightened security measures, companies like Security Matters play a pivotal role in shaping the future of this industry. By leveraging blockchain technology, reducing reliance on external subcontractors, and promoting sustainability, Security Matters' solutions have the potential to transform businesses across various sectors. As we move into a digital era that demands greater transparency and efficiency, the company's commitment to providing scalable and eco-friendly solutions could prove to be a game-changer for both businesses and the planet.

With Remote Work Here to Stay, Asure’s (NASDAQ: ASUR) Partnership With Harbor Compliance Will Help SMBs Navigate Multi-State Payroll and Labor Regulatory Requirements

Spotlight Growth/ASUR

The rise of remote work has been a key silver lining for U.S. workers in the wake of the COVID pandemic. Three years later, working from home remains popular amongst younger members of the workforce. Despite the recent headlines of companies trying to force their employees back to the office, remote work is not going anywhere. According to a recent survey from Robert Half (RHI), nine in ten workers who said they were considering changing jobs noted a preference for hybrid or fully remote opportunities. In fact, nearly a third of workers who are required to go into the office at least one day a week have stated their preference for taking a pay cut in exchange for a fully-remote position. Furthermore, Robert Half noted that 28% of all new job postings in January 2023 were categorized as remote positions, compared to 29% in January 2022. As workers dig in and refuse to give up on remote and hybrid positions, businesses will increasingly need to ensure their payroll tax registration and compliance requirements are met across federal and state laws. For small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), this presents a potential headache, along with higher costs to attract and retain quality employees. However, Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR), through its latest partnership with Harbor Compliance, seeks to provide SMBs with a streamlined solution for this issue. Asure & Harbor Compliance Partnership Combines HCM With Multi-State Compliance Solutions The economy is at an important junction currently, which has been characterized by the highest interest rates & inflation in decades. This, in turn, has led to rising costs across the board from goods & services to labor and more. For larger enterprises, these higher costs are likely more easily absorbed than compared to SMBs. For SMBs to stay competitive while controlling costs, they need to leverage technology-based solutions in human capital management (HCM) and human resources, which can help streamline back-office operations without increasing their headcount. This is exactly where companies like Asure Software come into play and fill this cost-cutting need for SMBs. Asure’s comprehensive cloud-based HCM platform provides an all-in-one solution for smaller businesses to streamline and manage their payroll, taxes, employee time & attendance, retirement offerings, and other elements under the umbrella of human resources. Asure’s latest partnership with Harbor Compliance effectively expands its existing comprehensive HCM platform to now include multi-state regulatory compliance solutions. Maintaining proper payroll and taxation compliance with each federal, state, and local governing entity is essential for SMBs to offer their employees the ability to work remotely or under a hybrid model. Unfortunately, labor laws are constantly changing, which can place an unreasonable cost burden on SMBs to ensure they remain compliant with any changes at the federal, state, or local levels. However, the integration of the Harbor Compliance platform with Asure’s HCM solutions provides SMBs and nonprofits with the ability to ensure labor regulations are met throughout the United States. In other words, Harbor Compliance effectively helps SMBs streamline their labor compliance by simplifying license and registration requirements at the federal, state, and local levels. "Out-of-state hiring poses specific challenges for businesses needing to set up tax registrations and process payroll efficiently,” stated James Gilmer, Strategic Partnership Manager of Harbor Compliance. “Growing companies need a solution that keeps pace.” Asure Wraps Up Q1 2023 With Several New Partnerships and Integrations Asure has made a handful of major new partnerships and integrations through the first three months of 2023. The company’s latest partnership with Harbor Compliance joins H&R Block (HRB), Intuit (INTU) TurboTax, and ZayZoon, which were announced earlier in the year. The H&R Block and TurboTax partnerships were enacted to provide SMB employees with the ability to streamline their tax filing process. This is an important perk and feature that SMBs can use to attract and retain quality employees, considering that TurboTax and H&R Block are the numbers one and two market leaders in the consumer tax prep services industry. With Tax Day just around the corner, these integrations are likely providing much-needed streamlining support to SMB clients’ employees. The ZayZoon partnership provides another tool for SMB employees to gain access to financial wellness and earned wage access solutions. With the ZayZoon integration, employees can access their earned wages even faster, which can help alleviate financial pressure and provide employees with greater peace of mind. Allowing employees to access their earned wages in real-time is yet another important tool for SMBs to retain and recruit key talent in the labor force. Overall, Asure Software provides an impressive solution for SMBs because they are always looking for ways to help their clients with new features, new partnerships, and capabilities. For SMBs, this is a huge advantage, not only to help cut costs and streamline operations but to also remain competitive in recruiting top-tier workers. The latest partnership with Harbor Compliance is just the latest example of Asure adapting and providing its clients with solutions that look to solve current challenges. Work-from-home and hybrid working are not going away, no matter how much some big companies kick and scream for employees to return to the office. The statistics and preferences are very clear…workers are willing to take pay cuts to preserve their flexible working conditions. By offering streamlined compliance with payroll and taxation regulations across all 50 states, Asure’s SMB clients now have a competitive advantage against these major enterprises that are trying to force a return to office by potentially attracting their former workers that left in pursuit of a more flexible working environment.

Appier's solutions have successfully improved marketing performance and efficiency for customers and will further expand the scope of application to support the entire buyer journey, enabling marketers to create greater value for their brand. 1. Advertising keywords and targeting parameters generation Appier is leading the industry to apply GenAI technology to its advertising automation platform AIXPERT, making good use of the algorithm's sensitivity and immediacy to timely detect keyword clusters that are most attractive to potential audiences. Based on performance metrics and audience overlap rate prediction powered by AI, AIXPERT can sort out a top list with better result prediction, helping marketers to increase their campaign Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). With the rich domain knowledge of ChatGPT, marketers can also effectively expand the potential user base and bring their advertising results to the next level. 2. Intelligent conversational chatbot creation In the past, it was difficult for customer service professionals to provide a quick and detailed response to each customer. After integrating ChatGPT into the BotBonnie conversational marketing platform, it can now automate the reply generation process and marketers can also use the command to provide rewrite suggestions and adjust the response length or tones (professional, friendly, empathetic, confident) for different situations, enabling better results from conversational commerce and customer satisfaction through this hyper-personalized engagement. 3. Marketing copywriting and automatic content generation In the past, marketers had to copywrite content for marketing and engagement campaigns from scratch or create multiple versions for A/B testing to ensure results from advertising campaigns or customer engagement activities. With the support of ChatGPT, marketers can significantly save time on idea generation and different versions of customization, making it easy to manage different media channels. Multi-version copy generation: AIQUA personalized marketing cloud supports the ChatGPT feature to help marketers with a diverse range of content ideas. The AI assistant can quickly create copies that support multi-languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean) [1] and tones (formal, friendly, uplifting, playful, humorous) based on basic text input. With AIQUA's one-stop communication feature, marketers can also send messages to different media channels [2] with a single click. Advertising copy optimization: The integration of Appier’s Intelligent Profiling & Acquisition (IPA) solution and ChatGPT will enable brands to enhance the results of paid media ads as well. As long as the marketer types in the actual product subject and description, the AI assistant can generate optimized marketing copies within a few seconds with different languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese) and tones (professional, witty, optimistic, tense, curious, uplifting, and informative) to catch customers’ attention as well as adapt to the platform character limits, helping marketers do more with less [3]. "Our commitment to innovation is reflected in our consistent focus on R&D and integration of advanced technologies at Appier. As a result, we continue to lead the AI SaaS space with cutting-edge solutions," said Dr. Chih-Han Yu, CEO and co-founder of Appier.
