Rebuilt with a new mobile app, Greenius lets landscaping businesses stand up an employee development program in minutes, and begins connecting crew training to the systems they already use to run the work.

ATLANTA and TORONTO, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Granum, the leading software provider for landscapers and arborists, today launched a new and improved Greenius. The platform was rebuilt for the way landscaping crews work, with native mobile apps and updated training content available in English and Spanish. Greenius is how an owner’s values, standards, and way of doing things travel beyond them, to every property, whether they are there or not. The launch also marks the first step in connecting Greenius more closely with LMN, Granum’s business management platform for landscapers.

“We have spent years helping landscapers know their numbers, and that is still one of the surest paths to profitable growth,” said Mark Sedgley, CEO of Granum. “Watching the companies that grow well in this industry, we believe more and more that investing in your people is the other key lever. The operators who pull ahead tend to be building teams that consistently exceed client expectations. That is the work Greenius is built for.”

With the new Greenius, landscaping businesses can:

Sign up a new hire by QR code and have them in training in under five minutesAccess 200+ purpose-built courses spanning all areas of landscaping, in English or SpanishGive every new hire the same training from day one, regardless of who hired them or which crew they joinAssign pre-built, role-specific playlists so crew output quality stays consistentKeep completion records showing who was trained, on what, and when, for insurance conversations, OSHA visits, and customer disputes

Jessie Shrieve of Coastal Shores says, “The new Greenius has helped us get to another level of quality both, individually and as a whole. It will have a big impact on the standards in the landscaping industry.”

The launch also begins a broader integration with LMN. The first phase of the LMN integration arrives later this Fall, giving customers a single sign-on from LMN into Greenius. A deeper integration between the two products is in development.

Existing Greenius customers can move to the new product at their current subscription price. The new Greenius is available today.

About Granum

Granum is the company behind LMN, SingleOps, and Greenius — the operating system modern landscape and tree care companies use to run their businesses. From estimating and scheduling to crew training and on-the-job execution, Granum helps green-industry operators get organized, streamline daily work, and deliver the kind of customer experience that keeps accounts and crews for the long term.

“Accuracy of a high-resolution augmented reality (AR) guidance system with novel 3D stereoscopic targeting for spinal surgery” in the Journal of Spine Surgery reports impressively low positional error of 1.1 mm and an angular error of 1.3°

CONCORD, Mass., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OnPoint Surgical, Inc., a medical technology company which has developed an FDA cleared augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation system for spine procedures, today announced the publication of accuracy data for its OnPoint AR system in the peer-reviewed Journal of Spine Surgery. The study, “Accuracy of a high-resolution augmented reality (AR) guidance system with novel 3D stereoscopic targeting for spinal surgery,” reports that the OnPoint system placed pedicle screws in cadaveric specimens with a positional error of 1.1 mm (1 SD = 0.5 mm) and an angular error of 1.3° (1 SD = 0.5°).

The positional and angular error are 2–5× smaller than the errors reported for other major navigation and robotics systems. The differences were statistically highly significant for all comparisons. Screw placement accuracy in the study was 100%, with no medial or inferior breaches observed.

The study evaluated 80 pedicle screws placed by three experienced spine surgeons across five cadaveric specimens, including osteoporotic anatomy, using both open and minimally invasive techniques across the thoracic and lumbosacral spine. Positional and angular error were measured in three dimensions by comparing post-operative CT scans of the implanted screws with the planned trajectories, and radiographic accuracy was independently graded by a blinded fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologist using the Heary and Gertzbein-Robbins classifications.

“The surgeons set out to publish hard numbers, and the numbers are on point,” said Philipp Lang, M.D., CEO, OnPoint Surgical. “A positional error of 1.1 mm and an angular error of 1.3° are 2–5× smaller than what the major navigation and robotic platforms have reported, and the comparisons were statistically highly significant across the board. Surgeons can leverage this accuracy today in minimally invasive and complex spinal procedures.”

Notably, this accuracy is enabled when using the OnPoint AR headset with its proprietary 3D stereoscopic targeting technology. The targeting provides the surgeon with a tool to be highly accurate in difficult anatomic situations, magnifying positional and angular deviation approximately ten times and overlaying it directly onto the surgical site in the surgeon’s field of view — rather than on a monitor several feet away from the patient.

Other factors contributing to the impressive accuracy of the OnPoint AR system include the ergonomics of the OnPoint AR system, the high display resolution, the accuracy of the AR overlay achieved through a proprietary, patent-protected AR display alignment, a low headset weight of only 320 grams including tracking array, and a proprietary image registration technique versus traditional scanner tracking.

The publication reflects OnPoint Surgical’s ongoing collaboration with leading spine surgeons, researchers, and healthcare institutions to evaluate the clinical application of augmented reality navigation. The study’s authors represent Henry Ford Hospital, Stanford University Medical Center, Boston University Medical Center, Kaiser Hospital Roseville, and Tulane University.

“This level of accuracy, obtained without taking the surgeon’s eyes off the operative field, is a meaningful step for the cases where precision matters most, for patients with small pedicles and challenging anatomy”, said Serena S. Hu, M.D., Vice Chair, Chief, Spine Service, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Stanford University Medical Center.
