Strategic acquisition adds certified payment terminal distribution, encryption key injection, and nationwide deployment capabilities, deepening Levata’s position in retail and hospitality.

CHICAGO, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Levata, a leading technology solutions provider delivering data capture, data management products and lifecycle services to customers across North America and Europe, today announced the acquisition of POSDATA Group, a leading distributor and deployment partner for the enterprise payment technology industry. The transaction extends Levata’s platform into payment technologies, adding a differentiated set of compliance-driven, service-intensive capabilities that serve enterprise customers in retail, hospitality, specialty retail, and beyond. 

POSDATA is an authorized distributor for the industry’s leading payment terminal brands, including Verifone, Ingenico, Equinox, PAX, and ID TECH, and operates a fully certified encryption key injection facility in Louisville, Kentucky. The company’s services include deployment and configuration, advance exchange and inventory pool management, and remote key injection, all of which are subject to strict payment industry compliance requirements that create high barriers to entry and strong customer retention. POSDATA’s customer base and operations will be fully integrated into Levata’s platform.

Retailers and hospitality operators can see how Levata supports large-scale payment terminal fleets at https://www.levata.com/customer-experience.

Entering a High-Compliance, High-Retention Market Segment

Payment technology distribution is structurally different from general technology resale. Enterprises deploying payment terminals require certified key injection to meet PCI compliance standards, a service that demands investment in secure facilities, processor certifications, and specialized technical staff. POSDATA’s Louisville facility has executed key injection for enterprises across the country, building a unique offering that is costly to maintain. That capability, combined with multi-year service relationships around advance exchange and device management, enables long-term relationships with customers and vendors.

“Payment technology is a segment where compliance requirements and service complexity make the partner relationship genuinely long-term,” said Daniel Nettesheim, Chief Executive Officer of Levata. “POSDATA has built exactly the kind of trusted, technically specialized business that enterprise customers in retail and hospitality rely on. Adding that capability to Levata’s platform means we can serve those customers more completely, and more durably, than we could before.”

Deepening Levata’s Retail and Hospitality Footprint

Retail and hospitality are two of Levata’s core enterprise verticals, and payment technology is mission-critical infrastructure for both. Enterprise retailers and hospitality operators managing large-scale payment terminal fleets require a partner who can handle procurement, configuration, key injection, deployment, and advance exchange across hundreds or thousands of locations. POSDATA’s capabilities map directly onto those requirements, giving Levata a more complete solution for customers who were previously sourcing payment terminal services from a separate provider.

“POSDATA is a natural extension of what Levata does for enterprise customers,” said JD Hupp, Chief Commercial Officer of Levata. “Our retail and hospitality customers already trust us to manage their AIDC, mobility, and networking infrastructure. Being able to add payment terminals to that relationship, with the compliance and service capabilities POSDATA brings, removes a meaningful reason for those customers to work with anyone else.”

A Platform Built on Capability and Trust

The POSDATA acquisition reflects Levata’s strategy of targeting businesses with technical depth, compliance-driven expertise, and strong customer relationships in adjacent technology categories. POSDATA has served more than 800 enterprise customers and built a reputation in the payment technology industry for reliability, responsiveness, and technical expertise. That reputation, and the customer relationships that come with it, is the foundation Levata will build on as it integrates POSDATA’s capabilities into its broader platform.

Levata has now deployed more than $400 million across more than 20 acquisitions since 2014, building one of the most comprehensive enterprise technology solutions platforms in the market.

Dynamic Pricing Raises New Questions for Forwarders Evaluating Automated Freight Quoting

Published

As freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software, Aircon founder Chris Condon says buyers should measure more than response speed. He urges teams evaluating freight quote automation software to count total operator time, including review and correction, and to check how quotes hold up when shipment details change.

LEWISVILLE, Texas, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As more freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software to keep pace with shifting rates, a practical question is emerging: how much of the time saved is later spent checking and fixing what the software produces? Chris Condon, founder and CEO of Aircon, says buyers evaluating freight quote automation software should look at dynamic pricing alongside the work required to turn a supplier’s rate into a customer commitment. His comments follow G2’s 2026 AI Agents Report, updated October 14, which examines the operating costs of reviewing and correcting automated work.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

“Think about a hotel when a major concert comes to town,” Condon said. “Demand goes up, there are only so many rooms, and prices can rise. Freight responds to supply and demand too. The forwarder’s job is to work out whether the available price and service meet the customer’s need.”

Freight pricing reflects more than demand. Costs, contract terms, and shipment requirements all shape the final number. A changing rate tells the forwarder something about one particular option… building a customer offer still requires checking service conditions, outstanding confirmations, and the forwarder’s own commercial rules.

That verification step is where automated freight quoting is put to the test. Condon refers to it as decision assurance: organizing the inputs and evidence behind a proposed commitment, flagging open questions, and keeping a record of the decision, while the forwarder retains judgment and the customer relationship.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

G2’s report draws on a July survey of 1,019 business technology decisionmakers across industries. Forty-five percent of respondents said oversight and rework consume more than a quarter of their expected productivity gains. The findings are self-reported and cover enterprise AI adoption broadly; the report is not specific to freight.

For teams comparing freight quoting software for forwarders, Condon suggests looking beyond response speed. He recommends measuring total operator time, including review and correction, and asking how any freight quote management software handles changes to shipment details…and whether a second operator can understand the conditions behind an earlier quote.

“The practical standard is to give the team time back and keep the judgment behind the customer commitment clear,” Condon said.

About Aircon:

Aircon provides decision-assurance software for freight forwarders, supporting the review that takes place before a quote becomes a customer commitment. It preserves inputs, evidence, and decision state within the forwarder’s existing workflow, while the forwarder retains the customer relationship and commercial judgment.

DataLogix AI Launches Workplace Video Resources for Businesses Exploring AI and Robotics Training

New calculator, business owner guide and inquiry form help companies assess workplace video alongside existing business records.

UNION, N.J., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DataLogix AI, a division of Trailblaze Solutions LLC, has launched online resources to help business owners explore first-person workplace video for AI and robotics training. The new resources include a workplace-video overview, an adjustable revenue calculator, a business owner guide and an inquiry form for discussing potential fit.

The launch adds a second starting point alongside DataLogix AI’s existing focus on licensing business records. Owners can compare written operating history, such as internal email, chat, tickets and project records, with newly recorded footage showing the hands, tools and steps involved in approved physical tasks. Businesses with both types of activity can explore each separately.

The workplace-video resources describe possible tasks in areas including warehousing, maintenance, construction, production and vehicle service. These examples are discussion starting points, not confirmed eligible categories. The guidance asks owners to review participant consent, recording permissions, safety, equipment and footage acceptance criteria before beginning.

The calculator models a four-week scenario using the number of participating workers, accepted recording hours per worker and an assumed payment rate. Owners can optionally enter employee compensation and other business costs. All figures are illustrative. The calculator does not establish an offered rate, forecast earnings or determine eligibility, and a result after entered deductions is not net profit.

The accompanying guide explains how the two opportunities differ in preparation, rights and economics. It includes questions about who may approve participation, what can be recorded or licensed, who may receive the material and how payment would be determined. Owners can review the resources without uploading company records or workplace footage.

Businesses interested in learning more can use the inquiry form to describe their company and the opportunity they would like to discuss. An inquiry is not enrollment, recording permission or a payment offer. Program availability, equipment and commercial terms require separate confirmation, and payment may be zero.
