The Industry Group (TIG) and Kiosk Association Advance Accessibility with U.S. Access Board

WESTMINSTER, Colo., Sept. 22, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Industry Group (TIG) and the Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) today highlighted recent work on accessibility, artificial intelligence, payments and self-service technology. The TIG/KMA Accessibility Committee met with the U.S. Access Board on Sept. 15 to discuss how accessibility must evolve as customer transactions increasingly span kiosks, touchscreens, payment terminals, mobile phones, QR codes, voice interfaces, AI systems, identity verification and human support.

Image caption: TIG and Kiosk Association Advance Accessibility with U.S. Access Board. (Image generated with AI.)

The principle is straightforward: accessibility follows the transaction, not just the device.

“In the past, it was possible to isolate a kiosk or payment terminal and treat it as the accessibility question,” said Craig Allen Keefner, executive director of the Kiosk Manufacturer Association and CEO of The Industry Group. “Today, the question is whether a customer can independently and privately complete the transaction: arrive, reach equipment, identify the service, operate the interface, pay, receive service, get help and finish.”

Discussion included EV charging, self-service retail, smart vending, lockers, parking, drive-thru systems, payment and government-service workflows. The committee emphasized that conversational AI, voice, gesture, mobile apps, QR codes and biometrics can expand access, but should not become the only route a customer can use to complete a transaction.

TIG also noted market activity across its self-service and restaurant-technology coverage. Canopee Tech, a Miami-based quick-service restaurant technology company, appointed Bruno LO-RE as chairman and president alongside founder and CEO Thibaud Denolle. The company reports deployment across thousands of North American restaurant locations and plans to accelerate international growth.

For Fall 2026, TIG and KMA updated supporter, trade-show, targeted-email and market-intelligence programs for companies planning 2027 initiatives. TIGER 2027 will launch during NRF New York in January, expanding from a one-time report into a year-round intelligence offering with implementation analysis, quarterly updates and analyst access.

TIG and KMA will also participate in the Automated Retail & Kiosk Innovation Show (ARKI), Dec. 14–16, 2026, at Loews Miami Beach. The event covers kiosks, smart vending, self-checkout, payments, digital signage, AI and unattended retail. TIG/KMA will exhibit at booth 39. Qualified end users may use code INDUSTRY20 for 20% off the stated registration rate.

ACES Quality Management launches ACES Population Testing

New technology applies lender-defined policies at scale across a predetermined loan population for greater risk identification

DENVER, Colo., Sept. 21, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ACES Quality Management®, the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced today the launch of ACES Population Testing™, which evaluates a financial institution’s loan origination pipelines and servicing portfolios against its defined policies and identifies the records that warrant a reviewer’s attention. The platform is built on data quality technology ACES obtained through its acquisition of BaseCap Analytics and already in production at financial institutions.

Image caption: ACES Quality Management launches ACES Population Testing.

A lender selects the population it wants examined and the policies it wants applied, covering its own compliance, operational and data quality requirements across pre-funding, post-closing and servicing reviews and beyond. Lenders can author the policies themselves or draw from ACES Managed Policies, an expanding library of ACES-authored, compliance-vetted policy content. ACES Population Testing runs those policies against every record in that population, reports a pass or fail on each policy for each record and rolls the results into an overall quality score on the dashboard.

“Compliance and quality programs are under constant pressure to extend their reach without expanding their teams, and ACES Population Testing gives those departments at lenders, servicers, banks, credit unions and other financial institutions the ability to evaluate loan portfolios at the population level, identifying risk that would otherwise go unreviewed,” said Trevor Gauthier, chief executive officer of ACES Quality Management. “The engine underneath ACES Population Testing has been running in production at financial institutions for years, and by bringing it under the ACES umbrella, it now becomes the natural complement to our audit technology, directing our clients’ teams to the records that matter most for targeted, human-driven investigation.”

ACES Population Testing operates alongside traditional sampling methodologies by directing auditors to records that a sample may not reach. From there, auditors can use ACES Quality Management & Control® software to examine the flagged records, determine if they are defects, report findings and remediate.

Kiosk and POS Market Report ‘TIGER 2026’ Released with RetailNOW 2026 Event

The report sizes the global self-service kiosk market at 39.4 billion dollars in 2024, growing to 82.1 billion dollars by 2031

DENVER, Colo., July 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Industry Group (TIG) and the Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) will spotlight the convergence of POS, kiosks, digital signage, and edge AI at RetailNOW 2026, July 26–28 at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas. The initiative aligns with the release of TIGER 2026, a new market report from TIG that quantifies how unattended POS and self-service kiosks are reshaping global retail and payments.

Image caption: Kiosk and POS Market Report ‘TIGER 2026’ Released with RetailNOW 2026 Event.

Anchored by Intel’s first-time appearance at RetailNOW, the RetailNOW Walking Tour guides VARs, ISVs, and solution providers through a curated set of exhibitors including Intel, Advantech-AURES, POSIFLEX, Ingenico, Toshiba, Datalogic, Crane Payment Innovations, Bluefin, NMI, and Datacapsystems. The tour is designed as a practical roadmap for channel partners looking to extend beyond traditional countertop POS into unattended and software-defined deployments.

TIGER 2026 describes POS as a distributed, unattended, software-defined commerce layer spanning self-checkout, self-ordering, EV charging, smart vending, healthcare check-in, and digital-signage-enabled transaction points, rather than a single fixed-lane terminal category. The report sizes the global self-service kiosk market at 39.4 billion dollars in 2024, growing to 82.1 billion dollars by 2031, with unattended POS projected from 1.254 billion to 3.418 billion dollars at 15.4 percent CAGR.

For RetailNOW attendees, the message is clear: POS is no longer just a countertop terminal, but the operating system of self-service commerce. TIGER 2026 is being released in conjunction with RetailNOW 2026 to give POS dealers, VARs, ISVs, and payment professionals a data-backed roadmap for expanding into unattended, software-defined, and accessibility-aware self-service deployments.

The Industry Group operates a network of news and research sites covering kiosks, digital signage, retail automation, EV charging, and smart city technology, and produces TIGER series reports on self-service markets.

The Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) is a global, cause-based industry association advocating for best practices in self-service, including ADA/WCAG accessibility, payments compliance, and secure, reliable deployments.

Together, TIG and KMA provide both the market intelligence and policy framework that help the retail IT channel turn self-service opportunities into scalable, serviceable solutions.

Report offers multi-faceted insight on self-service kiosk industry’s double-digit growth

DENVER, Colo., July 6, 2026 (SENDPRESS NEWSWIRE) — The self-service kiosk industry continues to expand at a fast pace, driven by evolving automation technology and growing customer acceptance of self-service in nearly all venues. Companies and organizations seeking to understand this technology-intensive sector now have a comprehensive and easy-to-understand resource, the Tiger 2026 Market Report, courtesy of the Kiosk Manufacturer Association.

Image caption: Report offers multi-faceted insight on self-service kiosk industry’s double-digit growth.

The 35-page report sizes the global self‑service kiosk market at about $39.4 billion in 2024, rising to roughly $82.1 billion by 2031, marking an 11.1 percent combined annual growth rate. The numbers are based on previous KMA reports, seven different industry reports, economic data, regulatory filings, reports from publicly traded companies and additional input from companies.

The report is designed to benefit kiosk industry companies in their business planning and those interested in investing in this fast growing trade.

“The weighted whole‑market growth rate comes out to 11.1 percent CAGR, but that ‘average’ hides enormous spread between segments,” said Craig Keefner, editor in chief of the report.

The report breaks the self-service kiosk industry into 14 segments which are modeled individually:

EV charging
Smart vending/micro markets
Smart lockers
Healthcare
Unattended POS
Self ordering for QSRs and fast casual restaurants
Digital signage
Check-in (hotel, airline, events)
Self checkout
Ticketing
Financial services/ATMs
Bill payment
Crypto ATMs
Others

The report also covers six adjacent verticals — parking, gaming, betting, DMV, self‑storage and self-service carwashes — contributing more than $7 billion on top of core kiosk spend.

The segment-built model for the report prevents double counting of segments in the final total.

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Segment highlights include:

EV charging kiosks come in at 31.5 percent CAGR, taking the category from about $0.85 billion to $5.8 billion by 2031.
Smart vending and micro‑markets grow at 16.5 percent CAGR, moving roughly from $1.5 billion to $4.5 billion.
Unattended POS and smart lockers grow in the mid‑teens, while self‑checkout grows around 9 percent but remains the single largest line item at about $15.4 billion.
At the other end of the growth curve, crypto ATMs are expanding at 4.2 percent, still cash‑flow positive, but no longer a significant growth story.

THREE CONVERGING FORCES CONTINUE TO ANCHOR THE SELF-SERVICE KIOSK INDUSTRY:

Faster EV-charging kiosk roll-out under the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) government initiative and the European Union Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) ruling.
The operational pull of the European Accessibility Act (in force since June 28, 2025).
The large language model (LLM) voice transition in quick-serve restaurant (QSR) drive-thru.
Each of these forces is now expressed in segment-specific growth rates rather than averaged into a single whole-market number.

GROWTH SCENARIOS

The report also offers Bull/Base/Bear growth scenarios through 2031 for each of the 14 segments, with identified drivers such as EV charging build‑out, accessibility mandates, services penetration and AI reliability.

One of the most unique benefits the report offers is a quantified understanding of the role service plays in kiosk revenue as opposed to hardware revenue. While hardware accounts for the lion’s share of industry revenue, service is growing faster than hardware, commanding $12.4 billion in 2026. In addition to boosting revenue, service supports kiosk uptime, reliability and AI readiness.

RETROFIT VERSUS RIP-AND-REPLACE

One of the most practical outputs of the Tiger Report is a normalized five‑year total cost of ownership (TCO) model that compares retrofit against rip‑and‑replace.

Retrofit cost comes in around $7,700 per kiosk over five years, versus roughly $18,000 for rip‑and‑replace, a 57 percent lower TCO. On a 1,000‑unit fleet, that gap implies about $10.3 million of preserved capital by upgrading instead of starting over.

GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

The report also includes geographic analysis of industry revenue. The United States commands about 37 percent of the global market at roughly $14.5 billion, followed by China at 17 percent ($6.8 billion), rest of Asia and Pacific at 14 percent ($5.5 billion), and core Europe (UK/Germany/France) at 13 percent ($5.1 billion). The rest of Asia Pacific is compounding fastest from a smaller base, while European growth is accelerated by the EU Accessibility Act moving from regulation to procurement driver.

The report comes in PDF form with 22 chapters and three appendices covering segment sizing, methodology, services, accessibility and adjacent verticals.

PURCHASE OPTIONS

The report is available in three versions:

The Basic Report (35 pages): $495.00 (Launch discount 40 percent through July 31, 2026.)
The Analyst Bundle buyers report includes an Excel market data pack, an analyst workbook, future updates through December 2026, and a voice AI in self‑service brief. Price: $995.00 (Launch discount 40 percent through July 31, 2026.)
The Enterprise License report includes a license to view TIG content, a one‑hour live analyst briefing, and a one‑year TIG Silver Sponsorship with weekly intelligence emails, with a launch price of $3,999.00 versus a stated package value of $8,200.00 through July 31, 2026.

On The Hook Fish & Chips Announces Opening of First-Ever Dine-In Experience

Wyoming-founded food truck company celebrates a decade of growth with a permanent location in Johnstown, Colorado

JOHNSTOWN, Colo., June 23, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On The Hook Fish & Chips today announced the opening of its first permanent dine-in experience in Johnstown, Colorado. The Wyoming-founded company chose June 27 for the grand opening to commemorate two milestones in its history: serving guests in 27 states and operating 27 food trucks nationwide.

Founded in 2016 in Laramie, Wyoming, by University of Wyoming students, On The Hook Fish & Chips began with a simple mission: to serve high-quality, line-caught fish and chips in communities with limited access to fresh seafood. What started as a single food truck has grown into a company serving guests across 27 states, operating 27 trucks, and serving more than 7 million meals.

“The opening of our first dine-in experience is an exciting milestone for everyone who has helped build On The Hook over the past decade,” said Ocean Andrew, CEO of On The Hook Fish & Chips. “While we’ve grown far beyond our first truck in Wyoming, our commitment remains the same: serving high-quality seafood, creating memorable guest experiences, and staying connected to the communities we serve.”

The new dine-in experience represents an important chapter in the company’s history while preserving the qualities that have defined On The Hook from the beginning: simple menus, responsibly sourced seafood, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Guests can expect the same line-caught fish, signature sauces, and familiar menu items that have made On The Hook a favorite for nearly 10 years, now offered in a welcoming space designed for families, friends, and the local community.

Community members are invited to join the celebration and help mark the beginning of this new chapter for On The Hook Fish & Chips.

HOURS OF OPERATION
Monday – Saturday: 11 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Closed Sundays.

New Research: Healthspan Is a Growing Priority for Senior Living

AgingIN Longevity Summit Will Explore How Communities Can Turn Longevity Science into Better Resident Outcomes

DENVER, Colo., June 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — AgingIN, a nonprofit advancing innovation in eldercare, is hosting a Longevity Summit that will unite leading voices in senior living, healthcare, and aging research to explore how communities can better support longer, healthier lives. Featuring keynote speaker Dr. Shelly Chadha of the World Health Organization, the summit will be held Aug. 10 and is part of AgingIN’s annual conference, Peak Purpose: Redefining How We Live and Age, which runs through Aug. 13.

Image caption: Dr. Shelly Chadha of the World Health Organization, will discuss how senior living communities can address healthspan and longevity at the “Longevity Summit: Living Longer, Living Better” on August 10, 2026, in Denver, Colo.

At the summit, Dr. Chadha will discuss the WHO’s focus on practical ways senior living organizations can operationalize healthspan principles using evidence-based frameworks. Using its Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) community-based approach, organizations can work to preserve functional ability through early intervention in areas such as mobility, cognition, nutrition, vision, hearing, and emotional well-being.

According to a newly released national survey from Ziegler, 85.8% of senior living leaders say healthspan will be “very important” to the next generation of residents, reflecting growing demand for communities that support mobility, brain health, independence, social connection, and preventative care. The findings point to a major shift in how operators are thinking about aging, wellness, and long-term resident engagement.

The Ziegler research found that senior living leaders most closely associate healthspan with:

Healthy aging (81.8%)
Independence (77.3%)
Mobility (74.5%)
Brain health (72.7%)
Strength and physical function (65.5%)
Social connection (53.6%)

“Closing the gap between healthspan and lifespan is one of the most important opportunities in aging today. It’s not enough to simply add years to life; we must add life to those years. This means reimagining senior living as a place where people can maintain purpose, independence, and well-being for as long as possible,” said Susan Ryan, AgingIN CEO. “At AgingIN, we are committed to helping organizations move beyond longevity as a metric and toward quality of life as the true measure of success.”

The survey also revealed that organizations are already investing in healthspan-focused initiatives, including strength and mobility programs, cognitive engagement, fall prevention, preventative health assessments, purpose-driven programming, and lifestyle interventions designed to maintain function and reduce decline.

Yet significant challenges remain. More than 60% of respondents cited workforce capacity as the biggest barrier to expanding healthspan initiatives, while nearly half identified uncertainty around cost and return on investment.

Topics at the summit include:

The global healthspan framework shaping the future of aging
Practical strategies to embed well-being into care delivery
How healthspan influences consumer preference and market relevance
Workforce well-being as a driver of retention and quality outcomes
Memory care and higher acuity applications rooted in dignity
Lifestyle interventions that help prevent decline
Innovation models that translate research into operational results
Scalable actions organizations can implement immediately

Registration is now open for interested senior living executives, clinicians, wellness leaders, operators, board members, and professionals interested in the future of aging services. To learn more and secure your spot, visit: https://aginginnovation.org/events/annual-conference/.

Her approach is grounded in data-driven decision-making, clear accountability and a consistent focus on execution that moves the business forward.

ACES Q4 and CY 2025 Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report shows critical defect rate falls to annual low

Income/Employment remained the largest single contributor to defects in 2025

DENVER, Colo., May 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ACES Quality Management® (ACES), a leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering Q4 2025 and the full calendar year (CY) 2025. The report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Image caption: ACES Quality Management® (ACES).

Key findings from the Q4 and CY 2025 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report include:

The overall Q4 2025 critical defect rate fell to 1.38%, a 22.91% decrease from 1.79% in Q3 2025, marking the first quarterly decline after three consecutive quarters of increases.
CY 2025’s average critical defect rate was 1.50%, essentially flat from CY 2024’s 1.52% (-1.32%).
Legal/Regulatory/Compliance returned to the top defect category in Q4 2025, rising 30% from 18.97% to 24.66%. This marks the second time it has led all categories since Q4 2024 and its third consecutive quarterly increase.
Income/Employment fell from the top spot for only the second time since Q4 2024, declining 21% to 21.52%.
For CY 2025, Borrower/Mortgage Eligibility climbed 291.58% year over year, and Credit rose 166.13%, reflecting a migration toward eligibility-driven defects as borrowers stretched to qualify in a constrained affordability environment.
Refinance review share nearly doubled year over year in CY 2025, rising from 11.14% to 21.04%, while refinance defect share more than doubled from 15.30% to 32.20%.
By loan product type, FHA defect share remained elevated relative to review share at 30.86% for CY 2025, and VA defect share rose for the second consecutive quarter in Q4, warranting continued segment-specific QC focus.

“Lenders ended 2025 on a strong note, with Q4 delivering a meaningful drop in the critical defect rate and the full-year average holding essentially flat versus 2024,” said Nick Volpe, executive vice president at ACES Quality Management. “But the year’s defining shift toward eligibility-driven defects as refinance activity returned indicates that disciplined documentation and consistent eligibility decisioning will define quality in 2026.”

Findings for the Q4 and CY 2025 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

ACES Quality Management Named One of 2026 Best Places to Work in Financial Technology for Fourth Consecutive Year

DENVER, Colo., May 19, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, today announced that it has been named one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Financial Technology. The awards program was created in 2017 and is a project of Arizent and Best Companies Group.

Image caption: ACES Quality Management.

This annual survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in the financial technology industry. Companies recognized on this year’s list operate in and serve companies and consumers in a wide range of financial services, including banking and mortgages, insurance, payments and financial advisory.

“Earning this recognition for the fourth time is a testament to the exceptional people who make ACES what it is,” said ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier. “Our most recent employee engagement survey confirmed something we’re incredibly proud of: ACES ranks in the top 10% of U.S. software companies for engagement. Employees tell us they value our leadership’s openness, the flexibility built into how we work, and the sense that their efforts genuinely move the company forward. This award reflects all of that, and it challenges us to keep earning it.”

“Each year, the Best Places to Work in Financial Technology offers a glimpse into the workplace practices of fintechs whose employees rate them highly,” said Penny Crosman, Executive Editor of Technology at American Banker. “This year, employees appear to value remote work, schedule flexibility and autonomy above all else, at a time when many traditional financial firms are enforcing strict return-to-work policies.”

To be considered for participation, companies must provide technology products, services or solutions that enable the delivery of financial services. Companies must also have been in business for at least one full year and employ at least 15 people in the U.S.

Companies from across the United States entered a two-part survey process to determine Arizent’s Best Places to Work in Fintech. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. +The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data and determined the final ranking.

DealCycl Company Now Generally Available, Shipping Day-One Agent-Native Cap Table Platform on All Paid Plans

DENVER, Colo., May 5, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — DealCycl, Inc. today announced the general availability of DealCycl Company, the cap table management and corporate governance platform for private companies. DealCycl Company is available immediately across four pricing tiers — Free, Starter, Growth, and Scale — with no waitlist, no sales calls, and no per-stakeholder pricing. The platform is the first in the cap table category to ship a fully agent-native architecture on day one, available at dealcycl.com/captable.

Image caption: DealCycl, Inc.

DAY-ONE AGENT-NATIVE PLATFORM

Every paid plan includes the full DealCycl MCP Server and Claude Skill, exposing the same capabilities and data model that power the user interface to AI agents through Anthropic’s open Model Context Protocol — with no enterprise gate, no add-on SKU, and no proprietary integration required. Because MCP is an open standard, customers can connect their own agents, auditors’ agents, and internal finance tools to their DealCycl tenant with a configuration change rather than an integration engagement.

“Anything a person can do in the DealCycl UI, an agent can now do through our MCP Server,” said Chris Caldwell, COO and co-founder of DealCycl. “Not most things. Not with caveats. Everything. We treat agent-native parity as a platform pillar — every product we ship from here on out inherits it by default.”

PRICING AVAILABLE DAY ONE ACROSS FOUR TIERS

All four tiers are available immediately with published pricing, unlimited stakeholders on every paid plan, and no per-stakeholder fees:

Free — $0/year, 1 Full User, 25 Stakeholders. Free forever, not a trial.
Starter — $1,999/year, 3 Full Users, Unlimited Stakeholders. For post-seed startups.
Growth — $4,999/year, 5 Full Users, Unlimited Stakeholders. For Series A and B companies.
Scale — $9,999/year, 10 Full Users, Unlimited Stakeholders. For Series C+ and multi-entity companies.

Every paid plan includes a 3-year price lock, one-click cancellation, full data export, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the contractual data sovereignty commitment.

CONTRACTUAL DATA SOVEREIGNTY

DealCycl was founded in direct response to the January 2024 Carta data incident, in which the dominant cap table provider used confidential cap table data to cold-contact investors about selling their shares without company knowledge or consent. DealCycl is the first platform in the category to commit contractually — in customer agreements, not marketing copy — to never use customer cap table data to broker trades, contact investors, or monetize equity information.

“Founders trust their cap table provider with the most sensitive information their company produces,” said Chris Goodwin, CEO and co-founder of DealCycl. “We treat that trust as a legal obligation, not a marketing claim.”

ONE-CLICK CARTA MIGRATION, AVAILABLE TODAY

DealCycl Company supports one-click import from Carta on every plan, including the Free tier. Prioritized white-glove migration assistance is available during the launch window for customers transitioning from per-stakeholder cap table products.

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

DealCycl was founded by Chris Goodwin, architect of RSA Archer, and Chris Caldwell, co-founder and former CEO of Lockpath, a GRC platform acquired by NAVEX Global. Both founders bring more than 20 years of enterprise security and governance experience to the platform.

ABOUT DEALCYCL, INC.

DealCycl is the investment lifecycle management platform for private markets. DealCycl Company provides cap table management and corporate governance for startups and private companies. The company was founded by Chris Goodwin (CEO), the architect of RSA Archer, and Chris Caldwell (COO), co-founder and former CEO of Lockpath. DealCycl is headquartered in Denver, CO.

Kiosk Association Appoints Matthijs Verhagen as Accessibility Co-Chair to Advance Global Compliance Strategy

WESTMINSTER, Colo., May 4, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Kiosk Association (KMA) today announced the appointment of Matthijs Verhagen, European Sales Manager at Storm Interface, as Co-Chair of its Accessibility Committee. Verhagen joins Michael O’Hare (TFA Consulting) and Oscar Rozo (LG Electronics) to lead the committee at a critical inflection point for the self-service industry.

Image caption: Kiosk Association Appoints Matthijs Verhagen as Accessibility Co-Chair to Advance Global Compliance Strategy.

With enforcement timelines accelerating for the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and new U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Section 504 requirements, operators and manufacturers face increasing pressure to align deployed systems with evolving accessibility mandates.

FROM POLICY TO DEPLOYMENT REALITY

The KMA Accessibility Committee represents more than 100 member companies spanning kiosk hardware, software, payments, and field services—including industry leaders such as Intel, Olea Kiosks, KIOSK Information Systems, and Pyramid Computer.

Unlike policy-driven working groups, the committee is focused on deployment-scale execution—translating regulatory requirements into practical, field-tested standards that can be implemented across thousands of deployed systems.

THREE REGULATORY FRONTS DEFINING THE MARKET

Europe — EAA Compliance
With EAA enforcement approaching, KMA is aligning members on hardware, interface, and assistive technology requirements necessary for continued access to EU markets.

United States — HHS Section 504
New federal rules are redefining accessibility expectations for healthcare and public-facing digital services, requiring immediate operational planning and system updates.

Asia-Pacific — Scale Without Harmonization
Rapid self-service adoption across Asia—particularly in high-volume retail and transit environments—continues to outpace regulatory alignment, creating both opportunity and compliance risk for global OEMs and integrators.

INDUSTRY-DRIVEN STANDARDS THAT WORK AT SCALE

“The strength of the KMA is not in committee structure—it is in deployment reality,” said the Kiosk Association. “When companies like Intel, Olea, and KIOSK Information Systems align on accessibility, the result is not theoretical guidance—it is standards that work in real environments, at real scale.”

FOCUSED DELIVERABLES FOR OPERATORS AND INTEGRATORS

The KMA Accessibility Committee is actively developing:

EAA readiness and compliance checklists
HHS Section 504 implementation frameworks
Accessibility ROI and retrofit vs. replace decision models
Multi-modal interface guidance (touch, voice, and assistive technologies)

These resources are designed to help organizations move beyond compliance uncertainty and into executable deployment strategies.

ABOUT THE KIOSK ASSOCIATION (KMA)

The Kiosk Association is a global organization dedicated to advancing best practices in self-service technology. Operating under The Industry Group (TIG), KMA provides leadership in accessibility, security, and lifecycle design for kiosks, digital signage, and point-of-sale systems.

More information: http://kma.global

INDUSTRY RESOURCES (NRA ATTENDEE ACCESS)

In conjunction with the National Restaurant Association Show, The Industry Group is providing limited access to operator-focused research tools, including:

Retrofit vs. Replace Decision Kit with worksheet
Self-Service ROI Calculator
Voice AI in Self-Service 2026 (Drive-thru, kiosks, cost models)
Edge AI upgrade planning tools (Intel / Hailo / legacy systems)

Designed to answer one critical question:
“Should we upgrade what we have—or start over?”

RespondWell Launches First Telemedicine Platform Built Exclusively for First Responders

Built by active duty first responders, RespondWell gives firefighters, police, EMS, and dispatchers nationwide fast access to licensed health solutions

DENVER, Colo., April 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — RespondWell™, a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform designed exclusively for the tactical athlete, officially launched today. The LegitScript-certified platform connects first responders nationwide with licensed healthcare providers and FDA-registered pharmacies to deliver specialized prescription wellness treatments directly to their doors.

Image caption: RespondWell: Built for those who run towards danger.

The platform was built around a simple premise: first responders deserve healthcare that works on their schedule, not the other way around. RespondWell was co-founded by active first responders Joe and Jake, who built the platform after experiencing firsthand the barriers their community faces when accessing consistent, effective healthcare.

“I spent years on the job watching guys push through low T, weight gain, and burnout because the healthcare system made it too hard to get help,” said Joe, co-founder of RespondWell. “We built this because we lived it – and we’re still living it.”

“Six years into the GLP-1 era and guys are still walking out of their doctor’s office with a lecture about eating better and hitting the gym,” said Jake, co-founder of RespondWell. “The access problem didn’t go away. When your life – and the lives of the people counting on you – depend on you being fit for duty, you shouldn’t have to fight your own healthcare system to get there.”

“At RespondWell, performance is a normal conversation,” said Joe. “First responders aren’t cheating and they’re not taking shortcuts. The job destroys your hormones, wrecks your sleep, and grinds down your body. Real, documented physiological consequences of this career – and then the system treats you like you’re asking for something suspicious when you want to fix it. That stops here.”

HOW IT WORKS

Patients complete a brief online health assessment – typically in under 10 minutes. A licensed provider from RespondWell’s partner Medical Group then conducts a clinical evaluation asynchronously where permitted – meaning the provider reviews, assesses, and responds on their end without the patient needing to be present at a specific time. It’s a real medical visit, built around the patient’s schedule instead of the other way around.

Certain treatments, including testosterone replacement therapy, require a video consultation with a licensed provider. The entire process happens online, with no waiting rooms, no in-person visits, and no unnecessary delays. If clinically appropriate, a prescription ships directly from an FDA-registered partner pharmacy. Average turnaround is four hours.

TREATMENT CATEGORIES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE PLATFORM INCLUDE:

GLP-1 weight management – clinically supervised weight loss programs utilizing customized GLP-1 medications
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) – for men experiencing low testosterone, a condition disproportionately affecting those in high-stress occupations
Sexual health – including tadalafil and TriMix for erectile dysfunction, delivered discreetly.
Hormone optimization – enclomiphene and NAD+ for performance and longevity support
Growth hormone support – sermorelin to support recovery, sleep quality, and long-term physical performance in those whose bodies are under sustained occupational stress

All treatments are prescribed by licensed providers and dispensed by FDA-registered pharmacies.

BUILT FOR THE JOB

Research consistently shows that first responders – including the dispatchers who coordinate every call but rarely get counted – face elevated rates of metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and weight-related health conditions, driven by irregular sleep, chronic occupational stress, and limited access to consistent care. Despite these known risks, most telehealth platforms are designed for a general population with standard schedules and predictable routines.

RespondWell was purpose-built for the tactical athlete: fast intake, real providers, pharmacy-grade medications, and ongoing follow-up care that doesn’t require the patient to rearrange their shift. The platform is currently available to first responders in all 50 states.

GETTING STARTED

First responders can complete their online health assessment at https://respondwell.health.

ABOUT RESPONDWELL

RespondWell, LLC is a Denver, Colorado-based telehealth technology platform serving first responders nationwide. The platform connects patients with licensed providers from its partner Medical Group and FDA-registered compounding pharmacies for prescription wellness treatments. All clinical decisions are made by independent licensed healthcare providers.

Peak Performance. Mission Ready.

Floify powers launch of Timberline Mortgage

Community bank selects scalable point-of-sale platform to support growth across Colorado markets

BOULDER, Colo., March 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that Timberline Bank has selected its platform to power its recently launched mortgage division. Founded in 2004, Timberline Bank is a Colorado-based community bank serving customers across western Colorado with locations in Grand Junction, Montrose and Aspen, delivering relationship-focused banking tailored to the needs of its local communities.

Image caption: Floify powers launch of Timberline Mortgage.

Launched in December 2025, Timberline Mortgage delivers personalized, competitive home financing solutions to local borrowers at each branch, backed by the strength and local commitment of its parent company.

As part of standing up the mortgage division, the six-person lending team conducted a comprehensive review of loan origination systems (LOS) and POS providers. “What became clear through the process was that Floify was offering a true partnership,” said Justin Harris, president of Timberline Mortgage. “As a newly launched mortgage division, it was critical for us to have a team that would support us as we grow. Floify’s onboarding and ongoing support gave us confidence that they’ll evolve alongside us.”

Floify launches Dynamic Apps 2.0, enabling lenders to create fully customizable loan applications

New capability allows mortgage teams to tailor borrower applications by loan purpose while embedded AI automates data capture and underwriting preparation

BOULDER, Colo., March 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced the release of Dynamic Apps 2.0, a major platform enhancement that allows lenders to create fully customizable loan applications tailored to specific loan purposes, borrower scenarios and business workflows without relying on engineering resources or third-party integrations.

Image caption: Floify.

With Dynamic Apps 2.0, lenders can configure application experiences for loan types beyond traditional purchase and refinance mortgages, including HELOCs, construction loans, agricultural lending, non-QM products and other specialized financing options, without requiring custom development or separate application flows.

This new capability enables lenders to control which application sections and questions appear for each loan type and automate downstream processes such as document requests and disclosures, allowing them to expand into new lending categories while maintaining a single, scalable technology platform.

Dynamic Apps 2.0 works in sync with Floify’s previously embedded AI capabilities to extract borrower data from uploaded documents, auto-populate portions of the 1003 loan application, validate document uploads and assist with income calculations and underwriting preparation. By combining configurable workflows with automation, lenders can reduce manual data entry, improve application accuracy and accelerate file readiness earlier in the loan process.

“Dynamic Apps 2.0 allows lenders to design application experiences that match their workflows and product mix, whether that’s a traditional mortgage, a HELOC or a specialty lending program,” said Sydney Barber, head of product at Floify. “By tailoring the application structure to the loan purpose, lenders can capture the right information upfront and eliminate unnecessary friction for both borrowers and lending teams.”

“This is a major step forward in turning the POS into a configurable growth platform for lenders,” said Joshua Steffan, SVP and Group General Manager at Porch Group and Interim President and General Manager of Floify. “By pairing configurable applications with embedded AI automation, lenders can streamline data capture, reduce manual work and move cleaner loan files through the process faster.”

Dynamic Apps 2.0 is available now. Learn more at booth 713 at ICE Experience, March 16–18 and request a demo at https://bit.ly/3NgpE5j

A Single Morning. A Lifetime of Consequences.

'The Raid' is a firsthand account of that interruption and the psychological shockwave that followed

DENVER, Colo., Feb. 27, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In “The Raid” (ISBN: 979-8249070199), entrepreneur Joshua Lybolt captures the morning his life was brought to a sudden halt. One moment he was operating at full speed — building, expanding, planning ahead. The next, everything stopped. Not gradually. Not symbolically. Immediately.

Image caption: Joshua Lybolt – “The Raid.”

“The Raid” is a firsthand account of that interruption and the psychological shockwave that followed. The book does not wander through decades of backstory. It stays inside the rupture — the confusion, the recalculation, the sudden awareness that status, certainty, and forward motion can disappear in a single day.

What makes the story compelling is not spectacle. It is proximity.

Lybolt writes from inside the moment when momentum collapses and identity is forced to stand on its own. Readers move through the morning as it unfolds — the stillness, the weight in the air, the quiet understanding that nothing will return to normal.

In a time when founders rise fast, reputations pivot overnight, and stability feels increasingly temporary, “The Raid” lands with uncomfortable relevance. It speaks to builders, risk-takers, operators — anyone who has lived at speed and understands that success is never as permanent as it feels.

This is not commentary.
It is not analysis.
It is lived experience under pressure.

The Raid opens the autobiographical series “Lightning Doesn’t Ask Permission,” which traces extreme cycles of ascent, loss, and reconstruction. This first volume captures the turning point — the day that forced everything that followed.

The book is available now on Amazon. Order here: https://a.co/d/0ghyUtyH

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Joshua Lybolt is an entrepreneur with more than three decades in finance and real estate. He has worked as a developer, built and operated brokerage businesses at a national scale, and managed growth in environments where capital, leverage, and timing carry real consequences. His career has spanned aggressive expansion, complex deals, and moments of forced recalibration. That perspective — earned rather than theoretical — informs his work and the experiences explored in “The Raid.”

ACES Q3 2025 Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report shows concentrated rise in critical defects as income and compliance findings increase

DENVER, Colo., Feb. 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, today announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering Q3 2025. The report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Image caption: ACES Quality Management.

Key findings from the Q3 2025 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report include:

The overall critical defect rate increased 18.5%, rising from 1.51% in Q2 2025 to 1.79% in Q3 2025.
Income/Employment defects increased 47.6%, rising from 18.45% to 27.24% of all critical defects and remaining the largest defect category.
Legal/Regulatory/Compliance defects increased 16.8%, rising from 16.24% to 18.97%.
Borrower/Mortgage Eligibility defects decreased 56.5%, declining from 15.87% to 6.90%.
Purchase defect share decreased to 62.65%, while refinance defect share increased to 37.35% as refinance review share expanded.
Conventional loans accounted for 57.18% of all critical defects, FHA for 31.10% and VA for 11.00%, reflecting relative stability across products with modest shifts in defect concentration.

“While the overall critical defect rate increased again in Q3 2025, the underlying data points to a market adjusting to a shifting mix rather than a broad decline in manufacturing quality,” said Nick Volpe, executive vice president of ACES Quality Management. “The increase was driven primarily by concentrated deterioration in income- and compliance-related findings, reinforcing the importance of documentation integrity and disciplined validation as refinance activity expands and lenders continue to operate lean.”

Findings for the Q3 2025 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews. The Mortgage QC Industry Trends Reports are available for download, free of charge, at https://www.acesquality.com/resources/reports.

Floify’s Sydney Barber honored with 40 Under 40 award for industry leadership

Barber recognized for advancing inclusive, intelligent mortgage technology that empowers lenders and opens doors to homeownership

BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 8, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that Head of Product Sydney Barber, 32, has been recognized by National Mortgage Professional magazine as one of its 2025 “40 Under 40” award winners. The award acknowledges rising leaders who are making a significant impact on the mortgage industry and is presented to each recipient only once.

Image caption: Floirdy Head of Product, Sydney Barber.

Barber joined Floify in 2019 and her leadership has been central to Floify’s mission to simplify and modernize the lending process. As head of product, she leads the design and delivery of next-generation tools within the POS, including no-code configuration capabilities, ADA-compliant borrower interfaces, income and employment verification, and direct integrations with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s automated underwriting systems. Under her direction, Floify also became one of the first POS platforms to introduce multilingual application options and rent-payment data integrations to better support underserved borrowers.

Most recently, Barber led the development of Dynamic AI.

ACES Q2 2025 Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report shows modest rise in critical defect rate as refinance complexity tests loan quality

Collateral, eligibility and regulatory defects rise as cash-out refinances grow; core underwriting quality continues to strengthen

DENVER, Colo., Nov. 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, today announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the second quarter (Q2) of 2025. The report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Image caption: ACES Quality Management®.

Key findings from the Q2 2025 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report include:

The overall critical defect rate increased 15.27%, rising from 1.31% in Q1 2025 to 1.51%.
Appraisal defects surged 156.5%, while Borrower/Mortgage Eligibility defects more than doubled to 15.87%.
Income/Employment defects improved 19.7%, falling from 22.99% to 18.45% of all critical defects.
Loan Documentation and Insurance defects declined 32.6% and 25.2%, respectively.
Purchase defect share decreased to 73.96%, while refinance defect share climbed to 26.04% amid increased cash-out activity.
Conventional loan quality improved, while FHA and VA findings rose modestly.

“Although the overall critical defect rate increased for a second straight quarter, the situation is nuanced,” said Nick Volpe, executive vice president at ACES Quality Management. “The rise was mainly in specific categories such as appraisals and eligibility-related areas. Meanwhile, other key underwriting areas saw notable improvements. This mixed performance demonstrates the importance of continuous monitoring and targeted quality control efforts.”

Findings for the Q2 2025 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

Floify launches Dynamic AI: embedded intelligence that elevates the mortgage POS experience

Live demo scheduled during MBA Annual's Hub Stage Tech Showcase, Monday, Oct. 20, at approximately 3:25 p.m.

BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced the launch of Dynamic AI, a new capability that reimagines the mortgage application process by moving document collection and AI-driven data extraction to the very beginning of the process.

Image caption: Floify launches Dynamic AI: embedded intelligence that elevates the mortgage POS experience.

Instead of answering lengthy questionnaires, borrowers simply upload their key documents — like pay stubs, W-2s, and IDs — and Floify’s embedded AI extracts and validates the data automatically. The application then prepopulates with verified information before a single question is asked, reducing manual data entry for loan officers and streamlining the application completion process.

Because Dynamic AI is built into Floify’s proven POS platform, lenders can leverage its capabilities without the risk or disruption that often accompanies integrating entirely new systems. The platform connects with leading LOSs, CRMs, pricing engines, automated underwriting systems, verification services and credit providers to create a more seamless, intelligent workflow from application to approval.

Embedding AI directly within the POS enhances the borrower experience from the very first interaction. Instead of juggling multiple portals or duplicating requests, borrowers can securely upload documents, view key details prepopulated and complete tasks in minutes. With much of the data collection and validation handled upfront, lenders can issue pre-approvals more quickly and borrowers can move confidently toward closing.

“By integrating AI where borrowers begin their journey — in the POS — Floify eliminates the need for multiple portals or disconnected systems,” said Sydney Barber, Head of Product at Floify. “Borrowers can securely upload documents, see key details autofilled and complete essential tasks in minutes. For loan officers, this means faster verifications, pre-approvals ready for same-day use, and more time spent advising clients instead of managing files.”

“Borrowers want trusted guidance and simplicity when making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives,” said Joshua Steffan, SVP and Group General Manager at Porch Group and Interim President and General Manager of Floify. “Dynamic AI enhances the process at every step, helping lenders deliver faster, clearer outcomes with confidence.”

Floify will debut Dynamic AI live at the MBA Annual Convention & Expo in Las Vegas, during the Hub Stage Tech Showcase at the Fontainebleau on Monday, October 20, at approximately 3:25 p.m. The feature will also be available for hands-on exploration in the Floify booth throughout the event, Oct. 19-22.

About Floify:

Floify is a digital mortgage automation solution that streamlines the loan process by providing a secure application, communication and document portal between lenders, borrowers, referral partners, and other mortgage stakeholders. Loan originators use the platform to create product-specific applications (no coding required!), collect and verify borrower documentation, track loan progress, communicate with borrowers and real estate agents and close loans faster. The company is based in Boulder, Colorado and is a subsidiary of Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch Group”) (NASDAQ: PRCH).
