Fresh Technology Launches “On the Fly” App to Help Restaurants Improve Kitchen Performance in Real Time

New mobile app debuts at National Restaurant Association Show; brings KDS data to life with simple, actionable scoring for operators on the move

CHICAGO, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Fresh Technology, the company behind Fresh KDS, today announced the launch of “On The Fly”, a new mobile app that gives restaurant operators a real-time kitchen score powered by actual KDS performance data. The app will debut at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, where Fresh Technology is exhibiting for the first time.

Fresh KDS On The Fly puts the most important insights in the palm of your hand, where operators actually need them. It’s about turning complex data into immediate action.

Built to work seamlessly with Fresh KDS, “On The Fly” tracks speed of service, consistency, and kitchen activity to generate a simple, dynamic score that helps operators understand how their kitchen is performing—at a glance, from anywhere.

 

“Most kitchen data today is locked away in dashboards or buried in spreadsheets,” said Shaun Shankel, CEO of Fresh Technology. “On The Fly puts the most important insights in the palm of your hand, where operators actually need them. It’s about turning complex data into immediate action.”

The app is designed for everyone from single-store owners to multi-unit operators. Independent operators often don’t have the time or resources for deep data analysis. “On the Fly” gives them instant clarity, helping them spot issues and make improvements on the fly—no analyst required. At the same time, larger restaurant groups can use the app to push performance visibility and accountability all the way to the store level, bridging the gap between their analytics teams and front-line managers.

Fresh Technology sees “On the Fly” as the first in a series of tools aimed at redefining what a KDS can do. While most native KDS solutions focus solely on routing tickets, Fresh is using its platform to unlock deeper operational insights and deliver more value through data.

“Our goal is to move beyond the basics of ticket handling and help restaurants actually improve how they operate,” said Shankel. “By making data more accessible, understandable, and actionable, we can give operators a real edge—regardless of size.”

Visit Fresh Technology at Booth 8331

NRA Show attendees can demo “On the Fly” and see how it integrates with Fresh KDS at Booth 8331 in the tech pavilion. The app is now available to all Fresh KDS users via iOS and Android.

About Fresh Technology

Fresh Technology is the creator of Fresh KDS, a cloud-first kitchen display system used by thousands of restaurants nationwide. Known for its ease of use, reliability, and POS-agnostic design, Fresh KDS helps independent and multi-unit restaurants run faster, more consistent kitchens. Fresh Technology is committed to unlocking the power of kitchen data to help operators thrive.

LaVivid unveils a transformative custom hair system experience, blending artistry and innovation to restore confidence. Discover the journey from vision to reality.

CHINO, Calif., May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In an era where personal expression and self-confidence are paramount, LaVivid redefines the hair replacement industry with its bespoke hair system solutions. More than a product, a LaVivid custom hair system is a transformative experience designed to restore confidence, authenticity, and the freedom to embrace one’s true self. Today, the brand unveils its meticulously crafted process—from initial consultation to doorstep delivery—proving why it stands as a global leader in premium hair solutions.

“A custom hair system should never be a compromise—it’s a masterpiece you live in.” – LaVivid Chief Experience Officer

The LaVivid Promise: Where Artistry Meets Individuality

At LaVivid, we recognize that hair loss is deeply personal. Our mission transcends aesthetics; we deliver empowerment through hyper-personalized craftsmanship, cutting-edge materials, and unwavering customer care. Each custom order is a collaboration, ensuring every client receives a hair system that feels as natural as their own hair—because confidence begins with authenticity.

Step 1: Collaborative Design – Your Vision, Perfected

Beyond Transactions: A Partnership in Creation

The journey begins with an immersive consultation tailored to your unique needs. Clients may submit requests via LaVivid’s Custom Order Portal or connect directly with our hair experts. This dialogue ensures every detail aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations.

Base Selection

Breathable lace? Undetectable thin skin? A hybrid for versatility? Our specialists guide you through material options, balancing comfort, durability, and realism.

Hair Customization

From jet-black waves to salt-and-pepper curls, we offer:

• 100% Remy Human Hair: Ethically sourced, handpicked for texture and luster.

• Tailored Color Blending: Precision-matched hues, including balayage, highlights, or natural graying patterns.

• Styling Flexibility: Straight, wavy, or curly—crafted to mirror natural growth patterns.

Final Approval

Clients receive a detailed quote, a visual mockup, and a secure payment link. Once confirmed, production begins with a clear timeline provided. Most custom orders can be completed within 4–5 weeks, thanks to the dedicated custom hair system team at the LaVivid factory.

Step 2: Artisan Craftsmanship – Precision in Every Strand

Custom-Fit Systems: The Signature Mold Process

For thin skin or full-cap systems requiring anatomical accuracy, LaVivid employs its proprietary mold technology:

1. Scalp Impression Kit: Easy-to-use templates ensure precise measurements.

2. Hand-Sculpted Perfection: Artisans create plaster molds for millimeter-perfect fit.

3. Secure Archiving: Molds are stored indefinitely, expediting future orders.

Behind the Scenes: Meticulous Handcrafting

• Base Construction: Medical-grade, hypoallergenic materials are double-layered for durability and comfort.

• Knot-by-Knot Artistry: Each strand is hand-tied to replicate natural follicular distribution—a process requiring weeks but guaranteeing undetectable realism.

• Styling Mastery: Hair direction and density are calibrated for seamless integration with existing hair.

Step 3: Rigorous Quality Assurance – Excellence Guaranteed

Every LaVivid hair system undergoes a 12-point inspection:

✓ Knot integrity and tension testing

✓ Density verification for natural movement

✓ Base durability and fit validation

✓ Final styling and conditioning

Only after surpassing these benchmarks is your system gently cleansed, styled, and prepared for shipment.

Step 4: Delivery & Lifelong Support – Confidence, Delivered

Upon arrival, clients unbox:

• Your Custom Masterpiece: Ready-to-wear, pre-styled for immediate use.

• Expert Care Guide: Prolong longevity with tailored maintenance tips.

• Dedicated Support: 24 access online customer services and hair system experts for 1-on-1 consultations.

The LaVivid Advantage

• Effortless Reorders: Archived molds enable one-click repeat purchases.

• End-to-End Guidance: From installation to styling, our experts empower you at every step.

• Sustainable Confidence: Designed to last, our systems empower you to live boldly—rain, sweat, or shine.

A New Chapter of Confidence Begins Today

SEBERANG PERAI, Malaysia, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Trensor Electronics Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian subsidiary of Trensor Co Ltd—a leading manufacturer of automotive pressure sensors—held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the commencement of construction on its new manufacturing plant at the Penang Technology Park @Bertam in Penang, Malaysia.

The new plant—a four-storey facility with an approximate floor area of 10,000 square meters and an estimated investment of RM100 million—is expected to begin mass production of automotive pressure sensors before Q2 2026. At full capacity, it will employ over 200 workers and generate more than RM200 million in annual sales. Trensor has also reserved space on its current land lots to accommodate future expansions.

The ceremony was attended by YAB Chow Kon Yeow, the Chief Minister of Penang, YB H’ng Mooi Lye, the Penang State Executive Councillor (EXCO) for Local Government and Town&Country Planning, as well as representatives from various local organizations, including the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) and InvestPenang.

In his speech, YAB Chow Kon Yeow welcomed Trensor’s entry into Penang’s vibrant industrial ecosystem and emphasized its role in strengthening the state’s electrical and electronics value chain, particularly in automotive electronics.

Zhou Wenbo, General Manager of Trensor Electronics Sdn Bhd, stated: “The decision by Trensor Co Ltd to establish its first-ever overseas factory in Penang, Malaysia, was driven by the state’s world-class infrastructure, business-friendly governance, high quality of life, cultural affinity, and abundant pool of high-tech talent attracted to the ‘Silicon Valley of the East’.”

“MIDA, InvestPenang, the Seberang Perai City Council, and all local authorities have provided strong support in helping Trensor turn its globalization strategy into a concrete reality today,” Zhou added.

Trensor Co Ltd specializes in the development and manufacture of automotive pressure sensors, ranking highly in annual output, automation, and vertical integration. Its world-class products are included in the procurement systems of major global automakers such as Ford and Geely, as well as Tier 1 suppliers like Cummins and Hanon Systems. Approximately 60% of the company’s revenue is derived from exports, primarily to North America and Europe. Its pressure sensors are also used in the air conditioning systems of Perodua vehicles.

The Penang facility will support Trensor’s strategic expansion into Southeast Asia’s growing automotive markets and beyond.
