CHICAGO, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — October 3 denotes a special milestone for SHENIX®, powered by FARO Advisory, a groundbreaking leading educational fintech platform designed specifically for Latinas, which is marking the first anniversary of its launch. The free app, available on Apple’s IOS and Google Play stores, empowers Latinas and anyone who identifies with this group to make informed financial decisions for themselves, their families, careers, businesses, and communities.

“This Hispanic Heritage Month and Latina Equal Pay Day, SHENIX® is proud to share its new app updates that will help Latinas, and anyone get closer to reaching their financial goals.”

The anniversary also falls on Latina Equal Pay Day, which addresses the wage gap between Latinas and their peers. Part of SHENIX®’s mission is to not only help Latinas with their finances but also support them as they close the wealth divide.

Olga Camargo, CEO and founder of the Chicago-based SHENIX®, is excited to announce the new updated app features, which include financial planning software, opening brokerage accounts, investing advice, and access to career leadership programs.

“This Hispanic Heritage Month and Latina Equal Pay Day, SHENIX® is proud to share its new app updates that will help Latinas, and anyone get closer to reaching their financial goals,” she said. “All registered users can now access free financial planning software that will allow them and their family members to know more about their money and how to better plan these funds for financial goals like education, business, wealth building, and retirement. The app also allows U.S. Latinas and family members living in the U.S. to open brokerage accounts using their social security number or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) IRA, Roth, IRA, Solo 401k, SEP IRA accounts for personal and small business needs. As always, users have access to career coaches and English and Spanish-speaking financial advisors.”

Camargo and other Latina business owners still see more work needs to be done to reach wage parity for Hispanic women. According to AAUW, “Latinas working full-time, year-round were paid 57 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men in 2022, which increased to 58 cents in 2023. All earners, which also includes part-time and seasonal, were paid 52 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men in 2022, which decreased to 51 cents in 2023.”

However, some statistics notice much growth in Latino/a entrepreneurs. The Latino Donor Collaborative, a 501(c)(3) Beverly Hills-based nonprofit organization dedicated to reshaping the perception of Latinos as part of the American social mainstream, shared a 2024 statistic saying “that Latinos have higher rates of new business ownership compared to any other racial or ethnic group with 0.60% of Latinos starting new businesses compared to 0.35% for overall U.S.”

“Latinas have continued to open businesses across the U.S. to not only bring new services and products to the market but also to successfully close the wage gap and create new job opportunities for others,” she said. “We are living in an era where Latinas are intentionally shaping the future of Latino finances within the many spaces that they increasingly control.”

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

on

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

About Greenzie

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
