Archy’s software can support the daily tasks of an entire dental practice with its cloud-based solution, automating processes and functions, while reducing costly server infrastructure, saving 80 hours per month in lost time for a single practice

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Archy, a pioneer of cloud-based automation software for dental practices, today announced it has raised $15M Series A funding in a round led by Entrée Capital with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, CRV, Alven, 20VC Growth fund and several angel investors and dental professionals. The investment will advance further development of the Archy product, embedding AI across various areas to make dental practices more efficient and allowing dental teams to focus on more intricate tasks, while increasing practice revenue opportunities and significantly enhancing customer experiences.

Dental practices are being plagued by several fundamental challenges simultaneously. They are facing a severe staffing shortage, with capacity reduced by an estimated 10% across the US – an issue that is set to be further compounded by 33.7% of dental assistants and 31.4% of dental hygienists indicating they are planning to retire within five years. Dental practices are also contending against decreasing dental insurance reimbursements, making it harder for practices to offer competitive salaries, all while 75% of them still rely on outdated, on-site servers, proving a major obstacle to operational efficiency and presenting security risks.

Archy addresses each of these challenges through its pioneering fully automated, cloud-based solution that eliminates the need for costly, outdated on-premises servers while providing AI-driven automation tools for insurance verification, billing, scheduling, and patient communication, streamlining daily operations. Its integrated imaging solution also ensures x-rays and images are stored in real-time, while a direct integration with Pearl AI enables AI-powered x-ray analysis within the platform. Moreover, by moving practices to the cloud, Archy enhances security, provides regular updates, and offers seamless scalability, allowing dental practices to focus on intricate tasks and patient care.

“Fewer staff, mounting workload, less revenue opportunities all while using antiquated systems presents a long-term challenge not only to dental practices, but also inevitably to dental patient care,” said Jonathan Rat, Co-Founder & CEO of Archy. “By integrating Archy, dental practices have an immense opportunity to reinvent how they manage the day-to-day workload, saving crucial time and cost which can be driven instead into business improvements, patient care and outcomes. Archy’s automated overhaul of a dental practice’s operations helps develop and retain the workforce, and our aim is to become a linchpin for sustainable growth for the practice itself.”

“We are excited to join Archy on its journey as it revolutionizes how dental practices interact with and support their patients,” said Avi Eyal, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Entrée Capital. “In a sector so deprived of innovation, Archy blends simplicity and automation and creates seamless integration across the dental practice, with fast implementation. Practices using Archy are already reporting significant improvement in efficiency, and increased customer satisfaction and better patient care delivery. We believe the market is ripe for disruption and that Archy is the company that will emerge as the leader in this sector.”

Kent Bennett, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners added, “Dentists have a reputation for being tech-phobic, but the truth is that legacy platforms never gave them a reason to fall in love. Archy has changed that with an end-to-end product that’s a breeze to onboard. The company has seen impressive adoption this year that puts them in line with the most exciting vertical SaaS launches we’ve seen. We’re thrilled to partner with the company again in this round.”

Inspired by Co-Founder, Dr Christine Liu’s experience as a dentist herself, Archy was designed by dentists for dentists, to enable a more efficient approach to every facet of the day – from booking appointments and conducting diagnoses, to treatment plans and managing patient outcomes. Archy has automated many of the time-consuming processes that dental practices face daily, saving time and reducing human error, allowing practices to prioritize patient care.

With Archy’s imaging software included, practices no longer have to rely on external software for imaging. With this funding round, Archy will be bringing more AI and ML features to their platform especially in the areas of analytics and revenue cycle management. This funding round takes Archy’s total investment to date to $27 Million and the company boasts several leading entrepreneurs on their board and as Angel investors. Archy is currently working with a few hundred dental practices across the US.

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

on

May 8, 2026

By

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11.

By

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
