AUSTIN, Texas, May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Innovation is synonymous with Qvinci; it’s our mission. Qvinci’s Summer 2024 Product Release is now available and includes:

Qvinci’s vision is INNOVATION! We revolutionize data collection, consolidation, mapping, reporting, and BI for businesses and non-profits into actionable insights. This product release showcases that commitment. – Brad Adams, Qvinci President/CEO/Chairman

1. NON-SUNDAY ALIGNED WEEKLY REPORTING WITH CUSTOMIZABLE ACCOUNTING CALENDARS

With Qvinci’s non-Sunday aligned weekly reporting, you can now:

Access weekly reporting aligned to any day of the week that’s best for you.Customize your accounting calendar reporting structure to your specific needs, such as 4-4-5, 5-4-4, or even a 4-4-4 (or any combination), by-entity, or consolidated.Customize your reporting periods instead of staying tied to the standard Sunday-aligned 4-4-5, which isn’t best for everyone.Even report by week per period, quarter, or year. For instance, you can publish reports over the last 13 weeks, by week, if that suits your needs.The possibilities are virtually endless!

This means, for example, that if Saturdays and Sundays are your busiest days of the week, your financial and business intelligence reporting no longer must be split into two separate weeks. This also means that when it comes to 4-5-4 reporting periods (or any combination), you are now in complete control, which is perfect for businesses such as:

Restaurants and food servicesHospitality and hotelsRecreational facilitiesTourism and travel agenciesArchdioceses, dioceses, and non-profitsSeasonal businesses (i.e., ski and beachside resorts)And their accountants and advisors

2. NEW PERFORMANCE DASHBOARDS, RANKING AND BENCHMARKING TOOLS

Qvinci is proud to offer two new business intelligence performance dashboards and two new ranking and benchmarking tools for all users. These dashboards and tools are designed to run on single or multiple entities/locations and allow you to see key financial metrics in a graphical format. They provide a clear picture of performance metrics that give visibility and perspective to your financial data.

3. UPLOAD BUDGETS VIA EXCEL INCLUDING FUTURE BUDGETING CAPABILITIES

Qvinci’s customers now have the ability to import their budgets via Excel as some do not like working with budgets in QuickBooks. With Qvinci you can do both. We have also added future budgets, which allow our customers to use Qvinci budgets if they are using QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, or QuickBooks by Class. The default for budgets is the QuickBooks budget.

With this amazing new feature, budgeting for your franchise or multi-entity environment and running reports, business intelligence, and predictive analytics just got a lot simpler.

4. ELIMINATION ENTRIES WITH NO NEED TO UTILIZE SEPARATE ACCOUNTING FILES

Qvinci has released a new eliminations option! Elimination entries are necessary for some organizations, especially in a franchise or multi-entity environment. Qvinci’s product team has created a new way to perform this task. There are many reasons why these transactions are eliminated before the consolidated financial statements are generated. Due to this need, Qvinci has created 3 different eliminations reports for our customers with SCoA and native options for each.

5. CURRENCY CONVERSION TOOLS WITH ADVANCED REPORTING AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Qvinci offers new currency conversion capabilities for both QuickBooks Desktop and Online versions, along with other select accounting software. Conversion rates are applied to each transaction based on its transaction date in QuickBooks. The user cannot set a desired conversion rate, as this is derived directly from XE.

6. MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION SECURITY FEATURES

To better protect your financial data, Qvinci has enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA) in our solution. In today’s world, helping businesses and individuals protect their secure data environment is essential. Enabling MFA for your company/client is easy. There are only five steps that the account administrator has to take to require ALL users to enable MFA, or individual users can enable it for themselves. Once enabled, you can use either Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator to retrieve your valid PIN.

7. RE-RELEASE OF THE EXTENDED DATA SYNCING OF UP TO 84 MONTHS

Qvinci has always had the capacity to sync up to 3 years (36 months) of data. The market has spoken, and you want more. Our customers can now sync up to 7 years (84 months) of data.

Armed with this extra data, access to Qvinci’s basic reports or its 180+ customizable Jumpstart Gallery reports, and business intelligence templates have never been faster or easier. Use the gallery reports as-is, customize them in our proprietary report editor, or build an entire, white-labeled reporting package in our package editor.

8. RE-RELEASE OF THE REPORTING MONTH DATA READY FEATURE

Are you constantly frustrated by clients, franchise owners, or business units not keeping their books up to date? The old saying, “garbage in, garbage out,” may apply. If you don’t have accurate and up-to-date data, then reporting and business intelligence could be downright dangerous rather than immensely useful.

Take a second look at Qvinci’s Wellness Dashboard (Advisory Portal) and determine in seconds which of your clients, franchise owners, business units, or parish locations have their books up to date.

Just click the button and enter the date the books were completed. If the date is Green, you are good to go. But if it’s Red, you’ll need to make sure the accounting file is properly synced. If it’s not, send them a friendly reminder.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION – THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

Accountants: Imagine the client advisory opportunities if you could review up to 84 months of your client’s data, choose to exclude a bad year (like with a pandemic), and consult with them regularly!

Franchises and Multi-Unit Organizations: Imagine having weekly reporting and business intelligence aligned Monday to Sunday instead of the old Sunday-aligned reporting, or pick any other day of the week your business requires. Fast casual, quick service, and chain restaurants have been looking for this for years.

Dioceses: Imagine the collaborative relationships fostered between chancery management and church and school leadership if you could easily determine which parish location does not have their books up to date before you review the metrics that matter most. Ensure timely and reliable data with the click of a mouse.

Published

3 hours ago

July 19, 2026

SHANGHAI, July 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pudu Robotics, a global leader in commercial service robotics, is showcasing its full portfolio of intelligent robotics solutions at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), held from July 17–20 in Shanghai. A key highlight of this year’s exhibition is the offline global debut of the PUDU D7, Pudu’s next-generation semi-humanoid robot. In tandem with its exhibition highlights, Pudu Robotics was also honored with the 36Kr “Most Investor-Attractive AI & Embodied Intelligence Enterprise” Award, recognizing the company’s growing influence in the embodied AI sector and continued confidence from the investment community.

Full Product Matrix on Display: Demonstrating Multi-Scenario Capabilities

Pudu’s comprehensive presentation at WAIC 2026 showcased its complete technical and product layout, spanning service delivery, commercial cleaning, industrial delivery, and general embodied intelligence.

The PUDU D5 quadruped robot demonstrates advanced terrain adaptability and autonomous navigation across an on-site obstacle course mimicking sand, gravel, steps, and slopes, simulating autonomous inspections in complex environments such as power substations and industrial parks. Additionally, the D5 performed high-speed “drifting” demonstrations at the booth, reaching peak speeds of up to 5 m/s and showcasing industry-leading mobility and responsiveness.

Making its global offline public debut, the PUDU D7 engaged visitors with several immersive and interactive live experiences. Attendees posed for photos with the D7, instantly receiving unique snapshots taken directly from a “robotics perspective.” The robot also demonstrated advanced multi-robot coordination by autonomously walking and guiding the PUDU D5 quadruped around the booth while seamlessly avoiding pedestrian traffic, vividly illustrating collaborative workflows between different robotic form factors.

Pudu is also exhibiting its mature commercial robotics portfolio, including the BellaBot service delivery robot, the PUDU T300 industrial delivery robot, and the PUDU MT1 Max and PUDU CC1 Pro commercial cleaning robots. Together, these products highlight Pudu’s proven deployments across hospitality, retail, F&B, manufacturing, warehousing, and other industries.

Winning the “Most Investor-Attractive Enterprise” Award Amid Sustained Capital Traction

The “Most Investor-Attractive Enterprise” award from 36Kr arrives alongside sustained backing from major global institutional investors. In April 2026, Pudu Robotics completed a new financing round of nearly USD 150 million, bringing its valuation to more than USD 1.5 billion. This brings Pudu’s cumulative funding to more than USD 300 million.

This strong capital interest is supported by concrete commercial performance. According to the “2025 Global Embodied Intelligence and Commercial Service Robotics Independent Market Research Report” released by Frost & Sullivan, Pudu Robotics accounts for 25% and 23% of the global commercial service robotics market in terms of revenue and shipments respectively, ranking No. 1 worldwide in both categories. Furthermore, Pudu Robotics has maintained a year-over-year revenue growth rate exceeding 100%, with international markets accounting for more than 80% of total revenue for consecutive years. While the broader Embodied AI industry remains in early exploratory phases, Pudu has approached a positive EBITDA, achieving large-scale commercial viability ahead of the market.

From Product Export to Ecosystem Integration: A Blueprint for Global Expansion

According to the Research Report on Chinese Enterprises’ Overseas Expansion from 2025 to 2026 published by the 36Kr Research Institute, Pudu Robotics was featured as a primary benchmark case study for Embodied AI. The report attributes Pudu’s international success to its systematic combination of technological innovation, product capabilities, and localized global operation. Analysts noted that Pudu has successfully transitioned from exporting products to exporting global brand equity and integrated robotics ecosystems, establishing a core reference blueprint for hard-tech global expansion.

By deploying versatile product forms that span specialized, semi-humanoid, and humanoid forms, Pudu Robotics continues to focus on integrating Embodied AI directly into real-world environments—transforming Physical AI from a technical concept into a practical productivity partner.

Best AI Productivity Tools for Creators (2026): CapCut Recognized for Faster Video and Image Workflows by Software Experts

Published

4 hours ago

July 19, 2026

NEW YORK, July 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence continues to reshape how digital content is produced, with creators relying on AI tools like CapCut to handle editing, asset generation, and repetitive production tasks that once required several separate applications. As these tools mature, software reviews are placing more weight on workflow efficiency alongside creative output.

Best AI Productivity Tools for Creators

Seedance 2.0 – an AI video generation model that creates videos from text prompts and image inputsPhoto to 3D – an AI tool that transforms 2D photos into images with realistic three-dimensional depth and effects

The use of AI has expanded across independent creators, marketing teams, educators, and small businesses producing content for websites, social media, online stores, and digital campaigns. Rather than using AI for a single task, many creative professionals now incorporate it throughout the production process, from generating concepts and visuals to refining finished content. This has encouraged software reviewers to test how well platforms support complete creative workflows instead of evaluating individual features in isolation.

Software Experts has included CapCut among its 2026 selections for AI productivity tools for creators, citing the platform’s collection of AI-powered features that support faster video and image production. The review examined how integrated AI tools can simplify common creative tasks across video editing, image generation, music creation, and visual enhancement.

What Is Driving Interest in AI Productivity Tools?

Content creators are producing more material than ever across short-form video platforms, social media, online stores, blogs, newsletters, and marketing campaigns. A single project may require multiple image formats, several video versions, captions, background edits, and audio, all within a short production window.

Many creators also repurpose one piece of content into several formats. A long-form video may be edited into short clips for social platforms, paired with custom graphics, accompanied by AI-generated music, and published alongside promotional images. Completing these tasks manually often requires switching between multiple editing applications.

This has encouraged software developers to introduce AI features that reduce manual editing while keeping creators in control of the finished product. Instead of switching between several applications, many creators now prefer platforms that support multiple stages of production within the same workspace.

How Does CapCut Support Video and Image Workflows?

CapCut offers AI tools that assist throughout the creative process, from generating visual assets to preparing finished content for publishing.

Among the tools included are:

Seedance 2.0 for generating AI videos from text promptsGPT Image 2 for creating images from written descriptionsSeedream for AI-generated artwork and creative visualsSeedmusic for producing original music from text promptsAI Image Extender for expanding images while preserving visual consistencyPhoto to 3D for adding depth effects to imagesAI Background Removal for separating subjects from image backgrounds with minimal editing

Together, these features support projects ranging from social media posts and marketing materials to promotional videos, educational content, presentations, and visual concepts, allowing creators to complete more production tasks within a single platform.

Why Are Integrated AI Platforms Receiving More Coverage?

Earlier AI tools often specialized in a single task, such as image generation or video editing. Newer platforms are bringing these functions together to let creators complete more of their work without transferring files between multiple services.

This type of workflow can shorten production time while helping maintain visual consistency across different content formats. It can also reduce the amount of time spent exporting files, reformatting assets, or rebuilding projects in separate applications.

As a result, software evaluations are increasingly examining how efficiently creators can complete everyday production work. Instead of concentrating solely on the number of AI features available, reviewers are also looking at how those tools function together during real-world creative projects.

What Did Software Experts Evaluate?

The review looked at AI tools that support practical creative work across multiple production stages rather than concentrating on a single feature.

Areas included in the evaluation included:

AI-assisted video generationText-to-image creationAI-generated musicBackground removalImage expansionThree-dimensional visual effectsEditing tools that support faster creative workflows

The review also examined how these features work together during typical content production rather than evaluating each tool separately. This reflects the way many creators now build content using interconnected AI tools instead of isolated editing software.

What Does This Mean for Creators?

Creative software continues to incorporate AI across more stages of content production, giving creators additional ways to streamline editing while maintaining creative control. As publishing schedules become more demanding, workflow efficiency has entered software evaluations alongside editing quality and creative flexibility.

Software Experts’ 2026 review places CapCut among AI productivity tools supporting faster video and image workflows through its collection of AI-powered creative features. As AI continues to influence digital content production, reviews are placing emphasis on how effectively platforms help creators complete everyday projects from concept through final publication.
