TraceLink Unleashes New OPUS Capabilities to Accelerate Supply Chain Agility

BOSTON, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TraceLink, the largest end-to-end digital network platform for intelligent orchestration of the supply chain, today announced the release of powerful new Orchestration Platform for Universal Solutions (OPUS) capabilities that deliver the agility today’s enterprises require. These new capabilities enable supply chain leaders to respond to disruptions, empower finance teams to reduce inventory and optimize working capital, supply commercial teams with tools to grow revenue amid shifting market demands, and equip IT teams to integrate with supply chain partners and scale solutions seamlessly to support business partners.

Delivered across OPUS, Multienterprise Information Network Tower (MINT), and Process Orchestration for Empowered Teams (POET), the newly released functionality unlocks the ability to proactively identify supply chain exceptions earlier, act proactively, and adapt in collaboration with partners. Each capability tackles different challenges, but together they create greater agility—helping organizations respond quickly to change and keep supply chains running smoothly.

  • OPUS: Empowers IT teams to create, orchestrate, and scale solutions rapidly via a no‑code, agentic platform—driving speed, flexibility, and agility across the enterprise.
  • MINT: Enables companies to link with pre-integrated trading partners across an end-to-end catalogue of business transactions, thereby connecting companies with all their trading partners—accelerating collaboration and reducing response times.
  • POET: Mobilizes teams to act on real-time issues together through collaborative, peer-to-peer workspaces safely and securely across company lines—driving rapid resolution and shared accountability.

By combining OPUS for process design, MINT for partner integration, and POET for shared process orchestration, TraceLink delivers a seamless, multienterprise platform that helps companies anticipate issues, resolve them quickly, and keep critical products moving without disruption.

For example: 

  • Forecasting and Demand Alignment: OPUS synchronizes real-time order data across systems, shortening forecasting cycles and enabling faster supply plan adjustments. With MINT rapidly linking partners through a proven integrate-once model, and with POET resolving exceptions instantly, teams spend less time reconciling spreadsheets and more time on proactive planning—boosting organizational agility and reducing burnout from fire drills.
  • Supplier Invoice Accuracy: OPUS automates invoice checks against POs, receipts, and contracts. MINT consolidates transaction data into a single source of truth, while POET routes exceptions to the right team in real time. Finance teams gain back hours each week, reduce manual errors, and can focus on higher-value work—improving agility across the organization while ensuring suppliers meet performance benchmarks.
  • Shortage and Supply Disruption Response: OPUS turns production and forecasting exception alerts into immediate actions. MINT delivers end-to-end visibility of supply shifts, and POET coordinates partners in secure workspaces with tracked commitments. By removing the scramble of phone calls and emails, employees can act decisively and collaboratively, reaching new levels of agility even during disruptions and while ensuring supply continuity.

Designed to operate symbiotically on the OPUS platform, the new capabilities complement one another, delivering agility that no single point solution could achieve alone.

Industry Leaders Highlight the Impact of TraceLink Solutions
TraceLink’s solutions are delivering significant impact for customers across the life sciences supply chain. One example is CIT Srl, a contract packaging organization (CPO) based in the European Union, where CEO Alberto Bartolini explained in a recent press release:

“As a fast-growing CPO, we’re committed to operating with the agility and transparency that the next generation of pharma and biotech companies demands. MINT gives us the platform we need to automate the exchange of business transactions with any partner system, streamline operations, and deliver a higher level of service to both our customers and suppliers—without increasing operational overhead—while fueling continued revenue growth and enabling expansion into new markets.”

“In today’s environment, agility is the new competitive edge,” said Shabbir Dahod, President and CEO of TraceLink. “These new OPUS capabilities turn agility from aspiration into action—enabling supply chains to sense change and respond instantly across every function of the enterprise.”

Agility for the Next Era of Supply Chain Orchestration
Supply chains lack the agility to adapt quickly if systems stay fragmented and manual. TraceLink’s B2N Integrate-Once™ model gives every partner—no matter their size or technology—a way to link on a shared digital network. Built on this foundation, OPUS solutions work together to share data and streamline processes, creating a supply network that enables companies to move faster, stay resilient, and build the agility needed for the next era of agentic orchestration.

Orchestration Platform for Universal Solutions (OPUS)

  • Expanded ERP Link Actions Support: Accelerates automation by directly linking OPUS with MSDynamics, NetSuite, and JD Edwards—streamlining order, invoice, and payment processing to reduce manual work and speed up commerce execution.
  • New Integration Manager App: Enhances interoperability with a centralized “control hub” that gives IT teams easier oversight of system integrations, ensuring smoother data flows and eliminating the need for custom coding.
  • Expanded Administration Tools: Improves operational efficiency by enabling administrators to make routine platform updates independently—reducing reliance on IT specialists and accelerating day-to-day changes.
  • Enhanced Master Data Tools: Strengthens accuracy and alignment across partners by simplifying the management of product codes, customer details, and supplier records—ensuring teams work from a consistent source of truth.

Multienterprise Information Network Tower (MINT)

  • Expanded Transaction and Dashboard Support: Improves visibility and control across critical business processes with new dashboards spanning commerce, external manufacturing, logistics, and planning—helping teams act faster, reduce errors, and optimize performance.

Process Orchestration for Empowered Teams (POET)

  • New Built-In Workflows for Common Issues: Accelerates problem resolution with ready-made workflows for frequent scenarios like supplier deviations or change requests—replacing email chains and spreadsheets with real-time accountability.
  • Simplified Interface and Smarter Alerts: Enhances usability with an intuitive redesign and targeted notifications, enabling teams to respond faster to critical issues and focus attention where it’s needed most.

Jackery Makes Debut at Climate Week NYC, Advancing a Global Sustainable Future Through Green Technology

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As global climate action moves from ambition to execution, Climate Week NYC 2025 opened on September 21 as a key platform for collective progress. On September 25, the themed forum “SEE The Future “—co-hosted by the Global Alliance for Effective Philanthropy on Earth Action (GAEA) of World Economic Forum, Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology, SEE Foundation, the Foundations Platform 20 (F20), and Columbia University Climate School Research Program on Sustainability Policy & Management—convened leaders across sectors to advance practical collaboration.

Jackery, a global provider of innovative solar generators and renewable energy solutions, was invited to speak alongside guests, including Ahmed El Saeed, Head of Office for Asia Pacific, U.N. Global Pulse, and Christoph Johannes Meinrenken, Professor, Principal lnvestigator, Research Program on Sustainability Policy and Management, Columbia Climate School. The discussion focused on two key questions central to implementation: how green energy supports ecological conservation, and how to build lasting alliances for sustainable development.

“Green energy shouldn’t stop at the product—it must be the infrastructure behind ecological protection and climate response,” said Tracy Wang, Jackery’s Global Head of Brand and Public Relations.

Ecological Conservation and Disaster Response: Clean Power in Real Scenarios

Jackery highlighted practical collaborations that turn technology into outcomes. In collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Jackery supported the protection of rare species by supplying solar-charged portable power stations that provided safe and stable electricity for mobile field medical vehicles, thereby improving continuity of care while reducing emissions. In China’s Hoh Xil region, Jackery partnered with local ecological protection organizations to deliver clean and reliable power for frontline rangers working in remote and harsh conditions. In addition to its conservation efforts, the company rapidly deploys emergency power equipment following hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters to restore critical services.

“Energy for Good”: a Networked Approach to Value Co-Creation

Highlighting the importance of corporate philanthropy partnerships, Wang emphasized that real impact comes from technology enablement, multi-stakeholder participation, and value co-creation—moving from isolated donations into sustained collaboration. Jackery has established partnerships with NGOs, including WWF and the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and has been honored with the SEAL Awards for sustainability for three consecutive years.

Across operations, Jackery collaborates with supply-chain partners to integrate low-carbon practices throughout the entire supply chain. The company has built a Green Factory and launched a Zero-Carbon Laboratory, powered by a solar-storage microgrid. These facilities are supported by green-power procurement aligned with I-REC standards, cutting emissions from purchased electricity.

On product accountability, 18 Jackery products have earned carbon footprint verification from TÜV SÜD, enabling full life-cycle tracking and material improvements that reduce embedded carbon. As of June 2025, Jackery estimates its sold solar panels have helped users worldwide save approximately 1.25 billion kWh of electricity and avoid roughly 1.243 million tons of CO₂—demonstrating the contribution of distributed clean power to the global low-carbon transition.

From “Promise” to “Practice” Under Climate Week’s ‘Power On’ Theme

With global climate governance entering an execution phase, Jackery called for alliances that transform environmental philanthropy from isolated gestures into sustained, shared-value systems, ‘Power On’ means moving from slogans to systems,” Wang added. “We welcome partners across public, philanthropic, and private sectors to scale clean power where it matters most.

Advancing this agenda urgently requires more ‘action-oriented enterprises’ willing to engage in real-world, tackle practical challenges, and scale proven solutions. Only through such concrete efforts can the vision of a low-carbon future become reality and drive meaningful progress in global sustainability.”

Yup, The Southeast Asia “Nubank”, Raises $32 Million in C-1 Round, Bringing Total Equity Funding to over $100 million

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Southeast Asia’s digital bank Yup has recently secured $32 million in their latest equity funding through its C-1 round, backed by US investment firms including Moore Strategic Ventures, Spice Expeditions and Platanus, with participation from other institutional investors and existing shareholders. The raise marks a pivotal moment for the company as it accelerates efforts to expand its customer base and edge closer to profitability.

Since founded in 2021, Yup has demonstrated robust financial performance and consistent growth, cementing its position as one of Southeast Asia’s most promising platforms in Fintech space. The company now serves millions of credit card holders and expects to reach break-even by the end of 2025—an achievement that reflects both operational discipline and strong market demand.

Beyond financial performance, Yup is advancing financial inclusion by expanding access to affordable, technology-driven financial services for underbanked and underserved populations in Southeast Asia. By providing working- and middle-class consumers with reliable credit and digital banking solutions, the company is unlocking new economic opportunities while reinforcing the region’s financial resilience.

“We have a very clear vision since our Day 1, which is to be the principal payment tool for the working-class / middle-class customers in Southeast Asia. We have seen our revenue approximately double each year for the past three years, and we expect that momentum to accelerate even further in 2026 and 2027.” said Donny Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO of Yup. “This round gives us the firepower to scale our reach and deepen engagement with our users. We’re thrilled to have Moore Strategic Ventures, Spice and Platanus onboard as strategic partners in our next phase.”

The C-1 round brings Yup’s total equity funding to over $100 million, positioning the company for further expansion and potential strategic moves in 2026. “Over the past 4 years, we have successfully closed 6 rounds of equity fundraising, even during periods of capital market volatility. The continued support from global investors speaks volumes about their confidence in our long-term vision and execution.” added by Gavin Guo, CFO of Yup. ” This funding will be used to take our customer base to the next level and further refine our product experience.”

Yup’s fundraising comes as global investors increasingly look to Southeast Asia for resilient, tech-enabled growth stories in the Payment industry. Investors cited that the great market potential from Indonesia, which is one of the most promising emerging markets, and the company’s disciplined execution are the key reasons for them to bet on Yup. With macroeconomic tailwinds continuing and digital adoption surging, companies like Yup are drawing renewed attention from capital markets.

DAR AL ARKAN PLANS TO LAUNCH “MANHATTAN” MASTERPLAN IN JEDDAH, A LANDMARK DESTINATION ON KING ABDULAZIZ ROAD FEATURING ‘TRUMP PLAZA’

 

Covering 1 million sqm of prime land in the heart of Jeddah, this record-value site, the highest land transaction ever recorded in the city, is strategically located on King Abdulaziz Road. With its unparalleled scale and location, the development is set to transform the heart of Jeddah with a vibrant, world-class mixed-use community.

The Manhattan masterplan is designed as a diverse, sustainable community divided into four districts, each anchored by a central park and seamlessly connected by a grand boulevard and an expansive green spine running the length of the site. Generous open spaces, pedestrian-friendly streets, and integrated commercial and residential zones will create a dynamic environment where living, working, and leisure converge.

Given the exceptional scale and record value of the Manhattan masterplan, the site has been attracting some of the world’s most renowned real estate brands. At its centrepiece will be Trump Plaza Jeddah, developed by Dar Global in collaboration with The Trump Organization and set to become one of the Kingdom’s most iconic addresses. Positioned on the most prominent 28,000 sqm corner of the site, Trump Plaza will bring together Manhattan-style offices, premium residences, serviced apartments, exclusive townhouses, and a Central Park-inspired park, capturing the spirit of New York with a distinctly Jeddah character.

Yousef Al Shelash, Chairman of Dar Al Arkan, commented: “The Manhattan masterplan is built on one of the most extraordinary land plots in Jeddah — a record-value site on King Abdulaziz Road. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity. Because of the strength of this location, we are creating a world-class community that will redefine urban living in Saudi Arabia, creating a walkable, sustainable, and connected community that offers a new benchmark for lifestyle and investment in the Kingdom.”

Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, previously commented on Trump Plaza Jeddah: “We are honoured to expand our footprint in Saudi Arabia with the launch of Trump Plaza Jeddah. This project embodies our vision of excellence by blending world-class hospitality, modern living, and dynamic business environments. Together with Dar Global, we are creating a destination that will set a new benchmark for prestige and innovation in the Kingdom.”

 

Eightco Holdings Inc. (ORBS) Announces 16.9 Million Verified World Humans, Adding 1.9 Million Since Launching Worldcoin Treasury Just 3 Weeks Ago

Unveils ‘Power of 8’ Initiative: 800M Worldcoin (WLD) Tokens and 8B Verified Humans

Dan Ives, renowned technology and AI expert and Wall Street analyst, serves as Chairman of the Board

World is the single sign-on for the AI era

“If we succeed on our mission, World might become the largest network of real people online, fundamentally changing how we interact and transact throughout the Internet,” says Sam Altman

Investors include MOZAYYX, BitMine Immersion (BMNR), World Foundation, Wedbush, Coinfund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Kraken, Pantera, GSR, Brevan Howard and more

EASTON, Pa., Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) today unveiled its ‘Power of 8’ initiative, targeting 800 million Worldcoin (WLD) and 8 billion verified humans. Since launching its Worldcoin treasury strategy on September 8, World has added over 1.9 million verified humans, bringing the total to 16.9 million, with a goal of reaching 100 million within the next 12 months.

“World is the single sign-on for the AI era, making it possible to trust and transact anonymously online for the first time,” said Dan Ives, newly appointed Chairman of Eightco Holdings Inc. (ORBS). “In the AI value chain, LLMs are valued at $3 trillion, hyperscalers $3 trillion, cybersecurity $1-2 trillion and the most important of these, ‘Proof of Human,’ or human cybersecurity is $10 billion. Over time, ‘Proof of Human’ verification should easily match the value of a single LLM, or have a value of $200 to $300 billion, implying the Worldcoin value of $20 to $30 per WLD coin.”

Ives continues, “We believe in the ‘Power of 8‘: ORBS reaching 800 million WLD tokens and verifying 8 billion humans. The momentum of the past few weeks is only the beginning.”

The issue of trust in the agentic age and the urgent demand for digital verifications systems is more important than ever before, recently voiced by President Trump in his address to the United Nations announcing that he’ll be “meeting with the top leaders of the world by pioneering an AI verification system that everyone can trust.”

“We also talked a lot about the need to include a financial network of some sort. It was clear to us that authentication and proof of humanity was an important component,” said Sam Altman, Co-founder of World and OpenAI, on the creation of World. “But it was also clear that one of the most important problems, one of the reasons you needed this was for people to be able to exchange value, for people and AI’s to exchange value, someday for AI’s and AI’s to do it.”

Blockchain technology enables the safest solution to secure human verifications in the digital age, echoed by industry leaders, “The internet-native money is crypto. It’s a bearer instrument,” said Ben Horowitz, Co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, “So crypto is kind of like the economic network for Al.”

Eightco Holdings Inc. (ORBS) is committed to establishing a universal foundation for digital identity. World’s proprietary verification Orb technology is designed to meet the security and identity challenges of the future, offering a path to a universally trusted digital identity and the foundation for the next generation of online trust, verification and economic exchange. The Orbs are the hardware backbone of Worldcoin, verifying unique humans, distributing tokens fairly, and creating a trusted digital identity system. World will be the leading verification platform for consumers around the world.

ABOUT EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC.

Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) is delivering a first-of-its-kind Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy. With this digital asset treasury (DAT), Eightco is advancing the AI revolution, implementing a technology infrastructure layer that is integral to the future of authentication, verification and Proof of Human (PoH).
