Ronati Unveils Studio: The First Comprehensive Cloud-Based Platform for Managing Vintage, Antiques, and Pre-Owned Goods

Studio is the first tool to manage inventory of pre-owned goods from acquisition to sale using a single platform.

LARGO, Fla., March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In response to the surging global demand for pre-owned goods, international technology firm Ronati has launched Studio, a revolutionary cloud-based inventory and business management platform tailored for sellers of vintage, antique, and pre-owned items. Studio is the first solution enabling sellers to document and manage their unique inventory from acquisition to sale through synchronized mobile and desktop applications, addressing the urgent need for innovation in this rapidly growing market.

“Studio simplifies and streamlines what has traditionally been a chaotic process. For the first time, sellers have a platform designed specifically to address the unique challenges of this industry.”

From vintage and antique furniture to pre-loved luxury goods, the global demand for sustainable, unique, and high-quality pre-owned items is skyrocketing, growing significantly faster than traditional retail. The $1.6 trillion resale market will experience 10 to 15 percent yearly growth over the next decade, according to McKinsey & Company. However, this rising demand poses substantial challenges for sellers. The diverse and ever-changing nature of pre-owned inventory—combined with outdated tools like spreadsheets, handwritten notes, and disconnected applications —creates operational inefficiencies that hinder growth. Studio consolidates the fragmented workflows of vintage, antique, and pre-owned goods sellers into one cohesive platform, providing a comprehensive solution.

“Studio simplifies and streamlines what has traditionally been a chaotic process,” said Clinton Howell, President of CINOA, the global confederation of art and antiques associations representing over 5,000 dealers across 20 countries. “For the first time, sellers have a platform designed specifically to address the unique challenges of this industry.”

Sellers can use the Ronati Mobile App to photograph and document items in real-time and then access and share their inventory 24/7 via email, text, or social media from Studio desktop and mobile apps. Sellers can create branded PDF tear sheets or catalogs in just a few clicks. They can organize their inventory by category, location, and availability and track acquisition and refurbishment costs. Instead of taking hours going between spreadsheets, word documents, and image folders, sellers can prepare item data and images with a single click for quick copy/paste posting to unlimited websites and online marketplaces. Finally, sellers can track where their inventory is listed online to keep their world organized, avoid duplicate sales, and improve customer satisfaction.

“Studio changes the game. It creates opportunities from the outset that wouldn’t have existed for buyer and seller alike,” said Toby Lorford, CEO of Lorford’s Antiques, the largest collective of antique dealers in the UK.

“Fueled by Millenials and Gen Z, the secondhand economy—from luxury antiques to affordable vintage items —has evolved from a trend into a global movement, yet the technology available for sellers to respond to this growth hasn’t kept pace,” said Ronati CEO Stacey Tiveron. “Studio marks a new era of empowerment for these small businesses and resellers. Our goal is to enable them to easily, efficiently, and effectively document, organize, and manage their constantly-changing inventory so they can focus on strategically positioning their businesses for growth in a highly competitive market.”

Studio is Ronati’s second groundbreaking product for resale dealers to build, connect, and modernize their businesses. In 2020, Ronati introduced its first product, the eCommerce Manager (eCM), a concierge listing service designed for dealers who manage high-volume listings on multiple online marketplaces and websites. Dealers in the US and the UK use the eCM to manage over 450,000 unique listings across more than 10 global marketplaces.

“Where eCM serves a specific type of seller, Studio gives sellers of all sizes and types, whether they are online or offline, the ability to expand their businesses with a powerful suite of tools that provides the benefits and efficiencies that were once out of their reach,” added Tiveron.

About Ronati:

Studio is the industry’s first end-to-end, cloud-based platform enabling sellers of preowned goods to manage their inventory from acquisition through sale effortlessly.

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

3 hours ago

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.
