LAZ Parking Acquires Majority Interest in Freight Ninja

Published

on

Illinois-based provider of truck, trailer, and fleet parking management solutions is a leader in a rapidly growing segment of the parking industry.

HARTFORD, Conn., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LAZ Parking, the largest, fastest-growing privately-owned parking operator in the United States, is pleased to announce it has acquired a majority interest in Freight Ninja, a leading provider of truck, trailer, and fleet parking management solutions. Based in Lombard, Illinois, Freight Ninja operates a network of 50 leased or managed Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) locations strategically located across the United States. Established in 2022, the company offers an array of services ranging from full-scale management of an entire facility to more specialized support such as market analysis, layout optimization, and security planning.

Under the agreement with LAZ, Freight Ninja will have access to the financial and operational support needed to accelerate its growth. For LAZ, it’s an opportunity to diversify into a fast-growing market that aligns well with LAZ Parking’s existing business.

“We are thrilled to have John Borsellino, and his amazing team of people join the LAZ family and help expand Freight Ninja’s footprint nationwide,” said Alan Lazowski, Chairman and CEO of LAZ Parking. “We share their vision and see tremendous opportunity to collaborate on the management of truck parking facilities and storage throughout the United States. Freight Ninja is a strong cultural fit for LAZ. It’s a company we very much believe in and will benefit from the resources, technology, and expertise LAZ brings to the partnership.”

IOS parking management services provide comprehensive solutions for property owners and managers seeking to optimize the operation of IOS facilities. The shortage of safe, secure truck, trailer, and container parking has become a major challenge for fleet owners nationally. Over 97 percent are small businesses operating fewer than 20 trucks, the vast majority of which – 91.5 percent – have six or fewer trucks.

Freight Ninja oversees facilities with over 300 acres of property and 10,000 parking spaces. Under the deal, the company will have access to LAZ home office services such as human resources, insurance, accounting, tax, treasury, compliance, and IT. LAZ also brings proprietary technology to the partnership, like LAZ’s eCommerce platform & its Subscription parking solution that centralizes and optimizes monthly parking, integrating payment processing and access control. 

“This partnership merges the strengths of two industry leaders in a way that addresses a need shared by small business owners across the country,” said Jeffrey Karp, President of LAZ Parking. “It lays the groundwork for sustainable growth and expansion into markets where the need for safe, secure, and convenient truck, trailer, and fleet parking is greatest.”

“We’re excited to team up with LAZ Parking to tackle one of the biggest challenges in transportation—truck parking,” added John Borsellino, Chief Executive Officer of Freight Ninja. “With their expertise in parking operations and our focus on operating and managing outdoor storage solutions, this partnership is a great step forward in offering safe and reliable parking options. Together, we’re helping to keep America’s logistics and transportation running smoothly, and we’re thrilled to have LAZ on board to support the trucking community.

Limber Health Launches Recovery Forecast, the First-Ever Predicted Outcomes Solution for Rehab Therapy

Published

By

Built on the largest risk-adjusted patient outcomes database in rehab therapy, Limber’s Recovery Forecast replaces traditional single point-in-time forecasts or MCID comparisons with a 90-day outlook

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Limber Health, a Net Health company, today announced Recovery Forecast, the first-ever predicted outcomes trajectory solution for rehab therapy. Built into the Limber outcomes platform, Recovery Forecast maps each patient’s expected path throughout care by comparing them with millions of completed assessments and applying robust risk adjustment. Available to clients this fall, this new clinical capability covers the primary MSK regions of injury.

“Current solutions show a point-in-time measurement, but rarely provide context or insight into the score,” said Nirav Modi, president of Limber Health. “Recovery Forecast shows clinicians how a patient is progressing through their plan of care, so they can assess, adjust, and guide them toward the best possible improvement.”

Because Limber Outcomes follows patients from evaluation through the full episode of care, the expected path stays visible between visits. At intake, the feature predicts each patient’s path; then at each reassessment, clinicians compare the actual score with the prediction for real-time context. This gives clinicians an opportunity to adjust the course of care.

“Being able to predict a patient’s outcome trajectory is a game changer,” said Brian Kelly, Vice President of Innovation & Clinical Excellence at Ivy Health. “It transforms outcomes data into real-time clinical intelligence that enhances patient engagement, empowers proactive clinical decision-making, and ensures every patient is positioned for an optimal recovery.”

A newly developed progression indicator, the Predicted Moderate Clinical Improvement (P-MCI), marks where a patient is expected to reach clinically meaningful improvement. P-MCI is already part of commercial payer quality programs. It underpins five functional improvement measures in the CMS proposed rule for the 2027 Physician Fee Schedule, with Limber Health and Patient360 as measure stewards.

About Limber Health

Limber Health, a Net Health company, extends in-person musculoskeletal (MSK) care into the home with Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), Home Exercise Programs (HEP), and Limber Outcomes, which helps practices measure patient progress and predict recovery using the largest risk-adjusted patient outcomes database in rehab therapy. Limber’s solutions are developed by physical therapists and physicians. Learn more at www.limberhealth.com.

For over 30 years, Net Health has gathered specialty knowledge shaped by human expertise and informed by patient outcomes.

Asuri.ai Launches Multi-Agent AI Platform for Persistent Business Workflows

Published

on

By

The agentic platform helps nontechnical teams save time, eliminate redundant work and deploy specialized AI agents across more than 1,000 existing applications

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Asuri today announced the launch of its multi-agent enterprise AI platform, designed to help businesses move beyond copilots and deploy persistent AI workflows across complete business processes.

As AI models become more capable, the challenge for businesses is shifting from generating answers to safely giving AI the context, system access and autonomy required to perform real work.

Asuri brings those pieces into one platform.

Nontechnical teams can define a business process, connect the applications involved, assign specialized agents to different responsibilities, and control what each agent can access, recommend or execute. By coordinating work that would otherwise require employees to repeatedly move between systems, gather information and perform routine follow-ups, Asuri helps organizations save time and remove redundant manual work.

“The model itself is becoming less of the bottleneck,” said Artem Bespaloff, CEO and co-founder of Asuri. “The harder problem is coordinating agents across real business systems while giving each one the right context, permissions and level of autonomy.”

Unlike traditional AI assistants that primarily respond to prompts, Asuri is designed around persistent multi-agent workflows.

Asuri combines multi-agent orchestration, workflow logic, persistent context and agent-level permission controls in a single environment, with more than 1,000 integrations connecting agents to the software businesses already use.

This allows companies to automate processes across existing systems instead of replacing their technology stack, reducing repetitive administrative work and freeing employees to focus on higher-value decisions and relationships.

As part of its launch, Asuri is introducing prebuilt customer intelligence workflows that consolidate information from multiple business systems, analyze client activity against company-defined rules, and automatically alert employees to significant developments. By eliminating the need to manually track client activity across different platforms, these workflows reduce the workload on sales and research teams, helping them stay informed, identify opportunities, and focus on higher-value activities.

The same architecture can support workflows across sales, operations, finance, customer success, research and internal compliance.

Businesses can learn more and request access at Asuri.ai.

About Asuri

Asuri is a multi-agent enterprise AI platform, built by Sprouter Technologies, for persistent, governed business workflows. With more than 1,000 integrations, Asuri helps organizations connect specialized AI agents across their existing applications, reduce repetitive work, save employee time and automate processes while maintaining individual permissions, autonomy boundaries and human oversight.
