Named as first AWS compute partner in space; $100 million in customer commitments secured

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aptos Orbital, the company developing an all-in-one artificial intelligence device for satellites, today announced the launch of its new platform, which aims to transform satellite intelligence and communication capabilities. The Aptos terminal is a low size weight and power (SWAP) device for satellites that combines proprietary space-hardened processing, connectivity, and cloud services. Leveraging Aptos’s technology, satellites are capable of running powerful artificial intelligence (AI) on orbit and transmitting real-time intelligence to the cloud on Earth.

“Today’s satellites are siloed from modern cloud environments, hampered by the lack of onboard compute power, and have multi-hour coverage gaps. At Aptos Orbital, we are changing that,” said Yonatan Winetruab, founder of Aptos. “Our goal is to make satellites as intelligent and accessible as any computer on Earth. By putting AI onboard, we can process live satellite data at the source and transmit the processed, actionable information back to Earth.”

Satellites use ground stations to communicate, making them unreachable for hours and often disrupting operations during communication. Aptos connects anywhere, through any weather conditions, without the need for any communication operations—providing more persistent communication with satellites. Aptos’ onboard computing allows satellites to process and send valuable data, and its cloud connectivity allows customers to interact with satellites in space as easily as a computer on Earth. The terminals can deploy ground cloud services directly to the satellites making them agile orbital nodes for earthbound networks.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) was also named as the first and only partner providing cloud services for Aptos Orbital hardware in space. AWS will bring cloud services and advanced computing capabilities to space and enable innovation to transform industries on Earth and beyond.

The Aptos terminals have been on orbit for more than five years cumulatively, demonstrating the company’s early success in flight heritage. From design to orbit in less than six months, Aptos has already launched and operationalized its production, with dozens of new units launching this year. Aptos also revealed it has secured eight customers representing more than $100 million in commitments. Current customers include ThinkOrbital and some of the most reputable satellite companies.

“Aptos has been a great partner with ThinkOrbital and is set to revolutionize our on-orbit servicing and space domain awareness operations. Their cutting-edge technology, designed for the demanding conditions of space, provides real-time cloud access and on-orbit processing capabilities. This empowers us to execute critical tasks with unprecedented precision and efficiency,” said Colonel Lee Rosen (USAF, Ret.), co-founder and CEO of ThinkOrbital Inc. “This breakthrough solution is transforming our ability to monitor and control critical processes, ensuring the highest quality and reliability of our operations.”

Looking ahead, Aptos will expand into an orbital platform with a constellation of more than 1,000 diverse satellites using the platform by 2030, to connect satellite operators with the rapidly expanding market for satellite data, and to give any developer on earth the power of satellites in space

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GrubMarket, the AI-powered technology enabler and digital transformer of the American food supply chain industry, as well as one of the largest private food eCommerce companies globally, today announced the launch of the GrubAssist AI Cash Flow Analyst. As part of GrubMarket’s groundbreaking GrubAssist AI suite, this new module provides food wholesalers and distributors with a comprehensive solution for managing their cash flow operations, delivering real-time, actionable insights that enable businesses to strategically manage their accounts receivable (AR), accounts payable (AP), collections and payments operations.

In today’s rapidly evolving food industry, tight financial management is critical for maintaining a healthy business and fueling growth. Yet, many food distributors still struggle with outdated, manual processes and limited resources that limit their ability to gain clear visibility into their financial operations. These limitations often lead to inefficient decision-making, delayed payments, and the inability to anticipate cash flow shortages, all of which can significantly disrupt operations and hinder growth.

Introducing the GrubAssist AI Cash Flow Analyst: A Game-Changing Solution

The GrubAssist AI Cash Flow Analyst was developed to address these challenges by offering business leaders, accounting staff, and operations employees a simple, powerful tool that consolidates cash flow analysis into an intuitive AI-powered user experience.

For example, “Which customers are past due on payments?” will provide a detailed list of customers and outstanding invoices, allowing businesses to take immediate action.Customer and Vendor Performance Insights: The tool offers deep insights into customer payment behaviors and vendor relationships. By asking questions like, “How much do I owe Vendor X, and what is the aging of my bills?” users can easily track outstanding liabilities and adjust payment schedules accordingly.Streamlined Financial Analysis with Custom Queries: The GrubAssist AI Cash Flow Analyst simplifies complex financial analysis by offering both default prompts and customizable queries. From understanding projected cash receipts to reviewing historical payment patterns, businesses can leverage this flexible tool for their specific needs, eliminating time spent generating and manipulating reports to find critical information.Seamless ERP and Accounting System Integration: The GrubAssist AI Cash Flow Analyst integrates with leading ERP systems and accounting software, including Famous and WholesaleWare, making it an essential tool for any business using these platforms. The tool also supports additional integrations with other produce ERP systems and accounting software like PICS, Thyme, Granite State Software, and QuickBooks, enabling seamless data flow and real-time updates.User-Friendly and Mobile-Optimized Interface: Designed with usability in mind, the tool offers an intuitive interface that is accessible both on desktop and on mobile devices and tablets with native iOS and Android apps. With 100% hands-free access through voice mode, users can manage their cash flow while on the go, improving efficiency and decision-making.

Transforming Financial Management in the Food Industry

By collapsing the traditionally cumbersome process of cash flow analysis into simple, conversational prompts, the GrubAssist AI Cash Flow Analyst offers unprecedented efficiency to food wholesalers and distributors managing their cash inflows and outflows. Instead of relying on static reports and manual analysis, businesses can access real-time insights on cash positions, expected payments, and upcoming expenses instantly.

Additionally, the tool’s “Favorites” feature allows users to save key prompts for frequent use, making it easy to run daily or weekly financial checks. The sharing functionality further enhances organizational alignment, enabling employees across the business to access the latest financial data in real-time.
