Giving UK Retailers Powerful Tools to Grow Their Business, As A Result of Celerant Merger

LONDON, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saledock, a leading provider of ePOS and eCommerce in the UK market, today announced that its retail platform has been rebranded as Celerant ONE, delivering advanced omnichannel capabilities and powerful new features to retailers. Following last year’s merger with Celerant Technology, the rebrand to Celerant ONE marks the next milestone in uniting two retail technology companies with a shared vision of helping retailers simplify operations, sell more, and grow their businesses.

The transition to Celerant ONE represents more than a new product name. It represents the next step in delivering an even more powerful retail platform, combining the strengths of both companies and bringing additional product investment, expanded development resources and a team of over 250 employees worldwide.

Retailers will begin seeing the Celerant ONE name across the back office, point of sale, stock control app, customer communications, and other areas of the platform over the coming weeks. While the branding is changing, the software, customer accounts, and day-to-day experience will remain the same.

“We’ve always focused on making retail software simple, intuitive, and enjoyable to use,” said Layla Gladwin, Managing Director, Saledock. “Becoming Celerant ONE allows us to continue that mission with even greater resources behind us, while keeping the customer-first approach our retailers know and trust.”

Advancing UK Retail Through Combined Strengths

Uniting two established retail technology providers allows Saledock to accelerate product updates and bring enterprise capabilities to independent UK merchants. Saledock continues to expand its reach across the UK market, giving store owners the tools they need to simplify store operations, drive footfall, and sell across multiple channels.

“Celerant ONE is more than a new name -it’s a reflection of our long-term vision,” said Ian Goldman, CEO of Celerant Technology. “By bringing together the strengths of Celerant and Saledock, we’re investing in a platform built for the future of retail. This milestone enables us to accelerate innovation, expand our global capabilities, and deliver even greater value to the retailers who trust us to power their businesses.”

A Stronger Platform Built for Growth

The first major enhancement for UK retailers is the Customer Engagement Suite (CES). This integrated marketing platform helps retailers automate email and SMS campaigns using connected customer and sales data, build targeted audiences from ePOS and eCommerce activity, manage social media from one place, and engage shoppers through online reviews, live chat, and WhatsApp. By bringing every customer marketing tool into one connected platform, retailers can save time, create more personalized campaigns, and drive more sales.

From there, several other significant enhancements will made available,  including:

AI-powered ecommerce capabilitiesAdvanced reporting and business analytics with AI agentsContinued enhancements across point of sale, inventory management, ecommerce, and retail operations

“Bringing our platforms together creates an opportunity to build the next generation of retail technology,” said Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer at Celerant Technology. “Saledock’s modern, Azure-hosted cloud platform, combined with Celerant’s decades of retail expertise and advanced capabilities, will be a game changer for retailers in both the UK and US.”

Exicom Opens FY27 with Order Wins Across Both Businesses as Revenue Grows Sharply Year on Year

Published

on

By

Standalone revenue up ~57% YoY, EBITDA more than doublesConsolidated EBITDA loss narrower YoY; margin under pressure

NEW DELHI, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Exicom Tele-Systems Limited (BSE: 544133) (NSE: EXICOM), one of India’s leading EV charging and critical power companies, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of FY27. Standalone revenue rose ~57% year on year to ₹237 crore and EBITDA more than doubled to ~₹21 crore, lifting the EBITDA margin for Q1 to 8.8%. On a Consolidated basis, revenue grew 61% to ₹331 crore, with the EBITDA loss narrowing to ~₹22 crore from ~₹39 crore last year.

A Quarter That Moved the Year Forward, With Margin Still to Follow

Measured against the same quarter last year, both businesses grew strongly and consolidated losses narrowed. Revenue and profitability, however, declined sequentially, from Q4 FY26, as is usually the case in the first quarter. Most of the gap is visible in the (consolidated) gross margin – 31.7% against 39.4% a year ago. A bulk of this can be attributed to the external cost environment including exchange rate volatility and input cost pressures owing to key component prices. We are addressing it at source, building resilience into our supply chain. Underneath the quarterly numbers, both businesses built a strong order book.

EV Charging: A Quarter Spent Winning the Year’s Business

India’s EV market marked a pivotal moment this quarter, crossing 80,000 electric four-wheeler sales for the first time. A market of that size gives Exicom a materially larger base to sell into, across home charging and the public networks operators build. On the AC side, Exicom recorded a YoY growth of 35% in Q1 FY27. DC sales ran softer, as the first quarter is when charging network operators set budgets and plan sites. Exicom’s India EV business grew revenue 15% year-on-year, and order booking stayed healthy. Some of the key business highlights are captured below:

On AC charging, Exicom became sole supplier of 7.4 kW units to a leading carmaker. The company strengthened its flagship Spin Air AC charging portfolio with the launch of an AI-chatbot – SpinWise and a new generation of its Spin Control app which now has public charger discoverability, real-time tracking and seamless support. Looking ahead, with EV makers forecasting much higher volumes owing to the market buoyancy, Exicom is working towards doubling its AC line capacity starting Q3.Across public charging, Exicom brought on fifteen new charge point operators, securing orders for over 180 DC chargers with Bus/Truck OEMs and Charging Network operators till October 2026. Exicom also renewed its long-term partnership with a leading e-trucking company.On the product side, Exicom introduced Slim DC chargers; sub-100 kW DC charging for dense commercial spaces. These Slim series chargers are enabled with smart tech features like Ring Topology which enables inter-charger power sharing to maximize efficiencies and throughputs.In exports, Exicom expanded its global footprint with orders from ten new countries, widening the base, while maintaining steady momentum across Southeast Asia and Middle East markets. The company also undertook extensive product development efforts, building an end-to-end ecosystem for selling custom-built and certified AC and DC chargers in specific European markets.

Tritium: Order Intake Steps Up as Next-Generation Products Reach Customers

Tritium recorded a revenue of USD 10.3 million and 508 charger sales in the current quarter. The next phase of Tritium’s progress is now showing in its order book. During the quarter the business booked USD 20.8 million in orders, roughly double the previous quarter. Its newest high power charging system TRI-FLEX is under lab validation with the largest open public charging network in the US and on the power side, the first GRID-FLEX system started to operate at a hyperscale customer in June 2026. These developments, together with a strengthening order book, should support meaningful scale from Q2 FY27 onwards and keep Tritium on track for EBITDA breakeven in Q4 FY27.

Critical Power: A Quarter That Built the Order Book

Critical Power revenue grew 80% year on year, carried largely by 5G site expansion by leading telcos and Bharat Net Phase 3, where Exicom holds over 60% wallet share. Company’s Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) portfolio which consists of solutions up to 300 kWh for home and C&I segment also added 14 customers and close to ₹20 crore bookings in Q1, an early base we expect to scale in FY27. Export markets continued to perform well with Africa and the Middle East contributing to 8% of revenues.

Remarking on the performance, Anant Nahata, Managing Director and CEO, Exicom, said: “Against the same quarter last year this is a stronger business. The Q1 revenue trajectory materialised as planned, however, cost pressure took more out of margins than what we anticipated. Looking at FY27, we are excited to see the EV market expand beyond its current shape and form. I am confident about the year ahead, and that confidence comes from where both our businesses now sit, with more customers, more geographies, a deeper order book, and commitments that deliver through FY27.”

New Survey: When Choosing a School for Their Children, Majority of Parents Consider Artificial Intelligence Policies

Published

on

By

Personalizing learning is AI’s biggest benefit, according to 42% of parents; double the share who cite preparing students for future careers.

MIAMI, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — More than three-quarters of U.S. parents (76%) support at least some use of artificial intelligence in schools, and nearly eight in ten (78%) say a school’s approach to AI matters when evaluating education options for their child, according to a new national survey conducted by the National School Choice Awareness Foundation (NSCAF).

While parents generally support AI in education, they are most persuaded by its potential to help meet students’ individual learning needs. Asked which argument in favor of AI they find most compelling, the largest share of parents (42%) selected AI’s ability to personalize learning to each student’s needs and pace, more than double the share who cited preparing students for AI-driven careers (21%). Smaller shares pointed to AI’s ability to provide instant feedback and tutoring support (12%), make learning more engaging (7%), or give teachers more time for individualized attention (6%).

“Finding the ‘right fit’ and personalizing the choice of a school for each child has become the goal of school choice,” said Shelby Doyle, senior vice president of policy and national partnerships at the National School Choice Awareness Foundation. “What’s interesting to me is that parents are bringing that lens to how they think about the decisions that happen inside the school itself, focusing on AI’s potential to personalize education first and foremost.”

Parents’ support for AI is accompanied by clear concerns about how it should be used. Nearly half (48%) say their biggest concern is that AI could make students too dependent on technology. Others cite concerns about cheating (16%) and weakened critical thinking skills (12%).

“Parents aren’t looking for technology to replace teachers,” Doyle said. “They’re looking for thoughtful approaches that use technology to support learning while preserving the critical thinking, creativity, and relationships that remain essential to a quality education.”

The survey also found that parents are approaching the new school year with a mix of emotions. Nearly nine in ten parents (88%) say they are at least somewhat excited about back-to-school season, while 67% also report feeling at least somewhat stressed.

This report is based on a survey of 2,053 U.S. parents of school-aged children ages 4–17, conducted by the National School Choice Awareness Foundation from July 24 to July 31, 2026, using SurveyMonkey’s national audience panel. Results were weighted to reflect the national population of parents by key demographic characteristics, including age and gender. The margin of error is ±2.2 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

The full results of the survey are available at https://myschoolchoice.com/opportunities/survey-july-2026.

The National School Choice Awareness Foundation (NSCAF) raises broad and positive awareness of school choice through three charitable programs: Navigate School Choice and Conoce tus Opciones Escolares, which focus on researching, developing, and promoting comprehensive, unbiased school navigation resources for families, as well as National School Choice Week, which celebrates effective education options each January. NSCAF does not advocate for or oppose legislation at any level of government and is steadfastly nonpartisan and nonpolitical.
