SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OneBill Software today announced the launch of CPQ360.ai, an AI-first configure-price-quote product built to run on top of any billing platform to complete the quote-to-revenue lifecycle. CPQ360.ai governs every quote, rep-built or AI agent-built, under the same pricing rules, margin guardrails, and approval logic, then hands off clean, billing-ready terms through native connectors — live today for Stripe, with additional platforms in active development.

CPQ360.ai is built for the industries where quoting complexity is highest – telecom, hi-tech, manufacturing, and medical devices; where complex bundles, configurable pricing, and multi-party approvals make manual quoting unworkable.

Unlike CPQ tools that bolt AI onto an existing UI, CPQ360.ai is API-first, with REST APIs, webhooks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) access built in from day one. It’s billing-platform agnostic by design, so the quote-to-revenue lifecycle completes on whatever CRM, contract, and billing stack a team already runs — Salesforce or HubSpot for CRM, any eSign tool, and any billing platform — without requiring teams to replace what’s already working.

“We set out to build an agentic-first CPQ that drops into any RevOps stack, on any billing platform,” said JK Chelladurai, Founder and CEO of OneBill Software. “Our team spent years running quote-to-revenue at scale inside OneBill. CPQ360.ai is built on that experience, so an AI agent and a human rep are held to the exact same rules, on any billing platform.”

CPQ360.ai is available now at www.cpq360.ai, where teams can book a personalized demo or start a free trial.

About CPQ360.ai

CPQ360.ai is a configure-price-quote product built for agentic execution on an API-first foundation, completing the quote-to-revenue lifecycle on whatever CRM, contract, and billing systems are already in place. CPQ360.ai is a OneBill Software company. Learn more at www.cpq360.ai

ACRE, Israel and FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SolidRun, a leading developer of embedded computing and edge AI solutions, and Leopard Imaging Inc., a global leader in embedded vision and camera technology, today announced a technology collaboration to simplify and accelerate the development of next-generation edge AI vision applications.

As AI-powered vision becomes increasingly important across industrial automation, robotics, intelligent transportation, security, and medical imaging, developers face growing pressure to reduce integration effort and shorten time-to-market. By combining Leopard Imaging’s industry-leading camera technology with SolidRun’s Hailo-15 AI platforms, the collaboration provides customers with a pre-validated solution that enables them to focus on application development rather than hardware integration.

Through this collaboration, Leopard Imaging’s MIPI CSI-2 camera modules have been validated and optimized for use with SolidRun’s Hailo-15 System-on-Module (SoM) and HummingBoard Hailo-15 AIOT platforms. The integrated solution combines advanced imaging, embedded AI processing, and production-ready hardware into a single platform for rapid development and deployment.

The solution currently supports Leopard Imaging camera modules based on Sony’s IMX678 and IMX334 image sensors. When paired with the Hailo-15 platform, developers benefit from dual 12-megapixel Image Signal Processors (ISP), AI-powered image enhancement, and up to 20 TOPS of edge AI performance for demanding real-time vision workloads.

The companies have jointly validated camera compatibility, image quality, and platform integration, helping customers reduce engineering risk, shorten development cycles, and accelerate the transition from prototype to production.

“Our mission has always been to simplify the development of advanced embedded AI systems,” said Dr. Atai Ziv, CEO of SolidRun. “By collaborating with Leopard Imaging, we are delivering a validated AI vision platform that removes much of the complexity of camera integration and allows developers to focus on creating innovative AI applications instead of solving hardware integration challenges.”

“Leopard Imaging is committed to delivering industry-leading embedded camera modules that provide the image quality, reliability, and performance required for demanding vision applications,” said Bill Pu, Co-founder and CEO of Leopard Imaging.

The combined solution is ideally suited for a broad range of edge AI applications, including:

Smart security and surveillanceIntelligent transportation systemsIndustrial automationRobotics and autonomous machinesSmart retailMedical imagingSmart city infrastructure

The joint solution is available today through SolidRun’s Hailo-15 System-on-Module, HummingBoard Hailo-15 AIOT, and evaluation kits. Developers can begin evaluating the platform immediately using production-ready hardware, software support, and documentation.

The 35-year-old, 100% asset-based regional carrier automated its portal and email scheduling with Qued — including a custom workflow built from scratch for a major food manufacturer — and its senior CSR is finally getting off work on time

BROADLANDS, Va., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Qued, a leader in developing sophisticated, automated appointment scheduling solutions for supply chain and logistics companies, today announced a strategic partnership with Hoekstra Transportation, a 100 percent asset-based regional truckload carrier based in St. Anne, Illinois. Hoekstra deployed Qued’s Smart Appointments platform earlier this year to automate portal- and email-based appointment scheduling across a short-haul network built on velocity: 75 trucks, an average length of haul of about 175 miles, multiple turns per truck per day — and roughly 75 to 80 percent of loads requiring a confirmed appointment.

Hoekstra’s story starts in a potato field. The family farmed and hauled its own produce on its own trucks before Steve Hoekstra bought a small paper-hauling business and built the trucking operation that has now run for 35 years. Today, about 90 percent of Hoekstra’s business is food and beverage — packaging, finished product, and shuttle moves between plants and distribution centers for some of the biggest names in the category — all of it moved directly for customers, with no brokered freight.

That heritage shapes how Hoekstra buys technology: deliberately. “We’re pretty selective about what we get distracted by,” says Steve Hoekstra, President of Hoekstra Transportation. The company chose Qued on trust — a longstanding relationship with a Qued team member from her years at McLeod Software — and didn’t evaluate anyone else. The bet paid off quickly. Onboarding was, in the team’s words, seamless: “All we had to do was send them our information. They took it and they ran with it.” When one major food manufacturer’s scheduling requirements proved too unique for any template, Qued built the workflow from scratch — and it now runs across inbound, outbound, and shuttle moves.

“It’s done. It’s working perfectly,” reports Shawndra Arvin, Hoekstra’s Senior Customer Service Representative.

For a lean operation, the impact goes beyond speed. The email flood that once dominated the appointments desk is gone, and when Shawndra is out, her backup can finally keep pace — the automation holds the line.

Qued’s platform uses machine learning to find the best appointment slots in real time based on ETAs, facility capacity, historical performance, and the specific requirements of each location. It connects directly to the transportation management system a carrier already runs, and it works on every channel a facility can require: web portals, email, and AI-powered voice calls.

“Hoekstra runs one of the leanest, fastest-turning regional operations in the Midwest, and they buy technology the right way — deliberately, on trust and proof,” said Tom Curee, President of Qued. “When their account needed a scheduling workflow that didn’t exist, we built it from scratch. That’s the standard, whether you run 75 trucks or 7,500.”

“They’re not selling you just what they have — whatever the format, whatever the process needs to be, they’re going to work with that,” said Steve Hoekstra, President of Hoekstra Transportation. “We’re a small guy in their mix, but they treated us like any of their biggest customers. They tackled it, and I thought that was great.”

“I use Qued daily. Honestly, it’s a couple of clicks and everything is just done,” said Shawndra Arvin, Senior Customer Service Representative at Hoekstra Transportation. “It’s given me back my time to focus on customers and build the relationships we need to succeed in this industry, instead of just sending emails. I’m even starting to get off work on time. I’m wholeheartedly behind Qued.”

Hoekstra joins a growing roster of asset-based carriers running on Qued, from family fleets to some of the largest carriers in North America.
