ONERugged Launches Six-Model VPC Tablet Line for Bus Fleets

Shenzhen – November 05, 2026 -- ONERugged has launched six rugged vehicle tablets, the V80J, V80T, V10J, V10T, V12R and V82T, to replace consumer-grade hardware in bus transit and fleet management. The VPC Series combines cashless ticketing, real-time dispatch and driver-monitoring functions on one Android or Windows device.

VPC Series consolidates ticketing, dispatch and safety functions in one cabin terminal

ONERugged says consumer tablets fail in buses because of constant vibration, temperature swings and cluttered cabling. Interface shortages force operators to stack multiple devices, which the company links to higher downtime and maintenance costs.

The VPC Series connects through aviation-grade or Deutsch connectors. It supports RJ45, RS232, RS485, USB, CAN bus, AHD and GPIO, so one terminal can serve peripherals that previously needed separate systems.

Thyme Care Scales Serious Illness Program as 1 in 3 Members Qualify

Nashville – November 05, 2026 -- Thyme Care is scaling its Serious Illness program after finding that one in three of its oncology members live with serious illness. For one national health plan partner, members connected to palliative care had 18% lower total spend in their final 30 days of life.

Inpatient savings account for 82% of the cost reduction at one national health plan partner

Inpatient spending drove 82% of the 18% reduction in end-of-life costs. Thyme Care attributes the savings to more appropriate care rather than less care.

Multiliquid Launches 24/7 Treasury Yield Product for Corporate Cash

Multiliquid Launches 24/7 Treasury Yield Product for Corporate Cash

LOS ANGELES – November 05, 2026 -- Multiliquid launched Multiliquid Treasury, a cash management product that pays institutions up to 3.5% annualized on idle operating balances while allowing instant redemption around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays.

The product targets corporate treasuries, fintechs and asset managers. Their payroll, vendor and margin floats often sit in non-interest-bearing accounts because money market funds redeem only on business days, before daily cut-offs.

Yield tracks the 3-month T-Bill rate, with atomic sweeps back to cash

Depositors earn a formulaic rate tied directly to the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill rate. They can sweep back into cash or stablecoins in a single transaction at any hour.

Multiliquid's example is an enterprise holding $25 million in liquid reserves. At the indicative top rate of 3.5%, that balance would generate about $875,000 a year without affecting same-day liquidity.

Datavations Launches Tracker for Big-Box SKU Store Tests

New York – November 05, 2026 -- Datavations has launched Store Test Tracker, a tool that more than 15 manufacturers already use to detect new SKU tests in as few as 10-20 stores at Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards and other home improvement retailers.

Tracker follows limited-distribution SKUs from test to expansion or discontinuation

The tool applies Datavations' daily, store-level SKU-grain data to flag products in limited distribution. It then follows them through testing, expansion, stall or discontinuation. Suppliers can compare the sales velocity and volume of each test SKU against similar SKUs in the set. They can also measure category growth and impact across brands in test stores against the rest of the chain.

bswift Plugs Emma Benefits AI Into Employers' Workplace Assistants

Chicago – November 05, 2026 -- bswift has made its Emma Intelligence benefits engine available to all existing clients as a plug-in for the workplace AI assistants employers already run, so employees can get answers based on their own enrollment, claims and eligibility data within a single conversation.

Emma connects to employer assistants through Model Context Protocol

The integration uses Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI assistants access information and capabilities from other services. bswift calls the design "headless": Emma's benefits intelligence works independently of its own chat interface, while the employer's assistant keeps its familiar experience and names Emma as the source. An employee can ask which medical plan they are enrolled in and receive an answer drawn from actual enrollment records.
