Motivity Expands Into Practice Management with a Comprehensive All-in-One ABA Solution

Published

on

HONOLULU, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Motivity, a leader in clinical SaaS solutions for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) providers, today announced the expansion of the Motivity platform to include a complete all-in-one, enterprise-ready practice management system, leveraging the experience, expertise, and proven track record from the industry veterans at Humane Business Intelligence Technology Solutions (hBITS).

After an extensive evaluation, Motivity selected Calmanac, a practice management system developed by hBITS, as the ideal foundation to build the new integrated solution. The platform’s flexibility to support both small clinics and large enterprises, combined with its proven reliability in high-demand environments, made it stand out.  Calmanac gained enterprise adoption at one of the nation’s largest ABA providers—where other platforms struggled to meet the complex operational needs of large-scale ABA services—demonstrating its ability to meet the highest standards in the field.

A robust infrastructure complements Motivity’s advanced clinical tools, resulting in a comprehensive, all-in-one platform designed specifically for ABA providers. Proven in high-demand clinical environments, the combined solution is field-tested for reliability. Motivity’s new platform streamlines billing, scheduling, and daily workflows—giving organizations the structure and efficiency they need to grow with confidence.

Motivity’s CEO Smith Anderson explains Motivity’s choice of hBITS technology as the foundation for Motivity’s practice management: “We put an extraordinary level of due diligence into expanding Motivity’s product offering—evaluating teams, methodologies, and software—to ensure it aligns with our mission-driven approach. Motivity has set the standard for clinical excellence in ABA, and we’re now bringing that same level of excellence to practice management. What we found in the hBITS system was a platform that provides the flexibility to support ABA providers of all sizes while maintaining our clinical-first approach. This isn’t just another ABA software solution; we’re putting our name on it because it’s the best platform that exists right now.”

For too long, ABA providers—especially large organizations—have been trapped using outdated, rigid, and unstable systems that put administrative tasks ahead of clinical care. With limited options and unreliable support, they’ve had to settle for inadequate tools. Motivity is changing the game by introducing an enterprise-ready, clinical-first solution designed to serve both small clinics and large organizations. Powered by $11 million in research grants and $27 million in private equity funding, Motivity stands alone as the only all-in-one platform built with patient care at its core.

Motivity stands apart from other ABA practice management systems by delivering these key benefits:

Compliance-Driven Precision – Motivity ensures that the right people are billing the right services in alignment with contracts, reducing claim denials and clawbacks. With built-in compliance alerts and a Contracts and Credentialing Module that guarantees clean claims from the start, you can trust that your revenue cycle remains intact and uncompromised.Smart Scheduling – Motivity ensures only eligible providers are matched with clients by factoring in credentials, authorizations, and real-time availability. Automated drive-time and authorization tracking ensure full utilization, minimize wasted travel, and reduce claim denials and revenue loss.Real-Time Insights – With intuitive dashboards and easy-to-generate reports, Motivity provides instant visibility into key metrics such as authorizations utilization, provider capacity, and revenue cycle management. Leaders can quickly assess their organization’s financial and operational health, enabling data-driven decision-making without the guesswork.

The ABA practice management space has seen significant investment through major capital rounds, including Motivity’s own substantial backing from Five Elms Capital, positioning the company to lead this evolution with a scalable, clinically-driven solution. By enabling providers to focus on delivering high-quality care while building a strong and successful practice, Motivity is set to make a lasting impact. As awareness grows, demand for effective interventions rises, and AI-powered advancements continue to shape the field, experts project that the ABA software market will triple over the next seven years.

To support this expansion, Motivity has bolstered its leadership team and is actively recruiting key talent to drive growth. With a commitment to hands-on customer support, the company is also growing its U.S.-based remote team to better serve its expanding customer base.

Chef Robotics Physical AI Models Can Now Automate Baked Goods Packing

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chef Robotics, a leader in physical AI for the food industry, today announced that Chef robots can now automate tray assembly for baked goods packing. The application places baked products, such as burger buns, chocolate chip cookies, biscotti, butter cookies, biscuits, fortune cookies, granola bars, rusks, and shortbreads into trays and packaging containers before sealing.

Watch Chef robots in action.

Baked goods packing has historically been difficult to automate for high-mix production. Each item behaves differently on the production line—a granola bar compresses under the wrong grip, while a biscotti or rusk can crack if placed at the wrong angle. Surface textures range from glazed and smooth to crumbly and irregular, and strict presentation requirements leave little room for error. This variability has made it challenging for automation systems to reliably handle baked goods at production speeds, leaving food manufacturers dependent on manual labor and traditional bakery equipment.

To address this, Chef built its baked goods packing application on its existing piece-picking capability, which uses Chef’s AI-powered computer vision and physical AI models trained across diverse real-world production environments. This allows Chef robots to assess each item’s position, shape, and orientation in real time and determine how to pick the items from the pan and place them quickly and precisely without damaging them.

The baked goods packing application supports four distinct placement capabilities.

First, Chef’s vision system detects the angle at which each item sits in the pan and reorients it after picking, placing it on the tray at the exact angle required, regardless of its original position, enabling retail-ready presentation for SKUs that require precise angular placement.

Second, Chef robots can place multiple baked goods into the same packaging container in a single automated pass, completing full tray assembly without manual intervention.

Third, for packaging containers with multiple small compartments, Chef robots can precisely place items into each designated section, including multiple items in the same compartment, using Chef’s AI vision model to detect compartment positions and orientations in real time.

Fourth, Chef’s vision system identifies the exact center of each tray and places every item at a predefined offset from that center, ensuring a uniform, consistent arrangement across every pack regardless of how trays arrive on the conveyor.

For food manufacturers evaluating bakery systems and baked goods packaging automation, the application offers higher throughput, reduced labor dependency, and consistent presentation across shifts. The capability runs on Chef’s existing robotic hardware and software, allowing manufacturers to deploy it without requiring any changes to their production lines.

Chef’s baked goods packing application is available in the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the UK and is included as part of Chef’s robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) pricing model.

Chef is the first company to have commercialized a scalable AI-driven food robotics solution. With over 104 million servings made in production, Chef leverages ChefOS, an AI platform for food manipulation, to offer a Robotics-as-a-Service solution that helps industry-leading food companies increase production volume and meet demand.
