    Red Sift Recognized as a 2026 G2 Best UK Software Company

    Red Sift earns place among the UK’s top software companies, driven by authentic customer reviews and a record-breaking Winter 2026 G2 report

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Red Sift, the company making the internet fundamentally safer, today announced it has been named to G2’s 2026 Best Software Awards, placing 49th on the Best UK Software Companies list.

OnDMARC holds a 4.8/5 rating on G2, with #1 rankings across Europe and EMEA. That consistent performance across quarterly reports is what makes an annual Best Software win possible: it’s built on a year of real customer feedback, not a single moment.

    “We built Red Sift in the UK, and our earliest customers were UK organisations dealing with some of the most complex email authentication challenges out there,” notes Rahul Powar, co-founder and CEO at Red Sift. “Being named one of the best UK software companies on G2 reflects the trust those customers place in us and the work our team puts in every day. Strong email authentication doesn’t have to be a drawn-out, high-risk project, and the reviews behind this award show that OnDMARC is delivering on that promise.”

    “As buyers increasingly shift to AI-driven research to discover software solutions, being recommended in the ‘answer moment’ must be earned with credible proof,” said Godard Abel, co-founder and CEO at G2. “Our Best Software Awards are grounded in trusted data from authentic customer reviews. They not only give buyers an objective, reliable guide to the products that help teams do their best work, but they’re also the proof AI search platforms rely on when sourcing answers. Congratulations to this year’s winners, including Red Sift. Earning a spot on these lists signals real customer impact.”

  • Influential Women Showcases Sara Chujun Li: NY Jewelry Designer Elevates Modern Adornment With Cultural Craftsmanship

    Influential Women Showcases Sara Chujun Li: NY Jewelry Designer Elevates Modern Adornment With Cultural Craftsmanship

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Founder of LA LUNA Jewel and Amour Jewel Blends Intuition, Artistic Vision, and Technical Rigor to Redefine Contemporary Jewelry

    Sara Chujun Li is a jewelry designer, creative director, and founder whose work bridges artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural storytelling. Formerly the Head of Design at AV Jewelry of NY – Odelia, Sara now leads her own brands, LA LUNA Jewel and Amour Jewel, where she translates emotion, heritage, and technical precision into modern, wearable works of art. Her designs balance vintage charm with contemporary elegance, creating distinctive pieces that resonate with collectors and fashion enthusiasts worldwide. Unlike opulent aristocratic jewelry, Sara’s collections reflect graceful symmetry, thoughtful decorative influences, and a commitment to exquisite craftsmanship, making each piece both visually compelling and emotionally meaningful.

    With more than a decade of experience spanning design, product development, and creative strategy, Sara is recognized for her ability to turn conceptual narratives into commercially successful collections. Her work has garnered international acclaim, including honors from the 2025 American Good Design Award and the 2025 MUSE Design Awards. Early in her career, she received the prestigious Women’s Jewelry Association (WJA) Student Scholarship Award, distinguishing her as an emerging talent in the jewelry field. A GIA Graduate Gemologist and alumna of both SCAD and Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Sara has cultivated a holistic perspective on contemporary jewelry creation, moving seamlessly across design studios, production networks, and editorial-driven creative roles. This breadth of experience gives her a unique understanding of the technical, aesthetic, and cultural dimensions of jewelry today.

    Sara attributes her success to listening to her intuition and remaining committed to her authentic vision rather than conforming to external expectations. She emphasizes that clarity of purpose has been the foundation of her career. Reflecting on her professional journey, she cites the best advice she ever received: breathe and create space when situations feel pressured. By stepping back and letting circumstances unfold naturally, Sara believes she can make better, more thoughtful decisions, balancing creativity with strategic judgment.

    For young women entering the industry, Sara encourages experimentation and adaptability. She advises aspiring designers to try different approaches, pivot quickly when something doesn’t work, and maintain high standards in both their craft and professional conduct. As an international professional, Sara recognizes that she often operates in environments not originally designed for diverse perspectives, but she views this as an opportunity to introduce fresh context, standards, and innovative thinking that help push the industry forward. Guided by authenticity and integrity, she approaches her professional and personal life with honesty, clarity, and respect, inspiring others through her leadership and vision.

    Sara’s designs reflect her deep curiosity about life, spiritual growth, and mysticism, infusing her pieces with narrative and energy that extend beyond mere adornment. Her signature Lozenge collection exemplifies her fusion of abstract art, geometric evolution, and intricate craftsmanship, weaving diamond-shaped motifs and gemstones into a harmonious visual language. Each creation is designed not only to adorn but also to enhance the elegance and presence of the wearer, serving as a vessel of energy, meaning, and refined artistry.

    Through her independent practice, Sara Chujun Li continues to modernize traditional jewelry workflows by integrating digital design, contemporary techniques, and cross-cultural storytelling. Her work elevates both technical standards and aesthetic expectations, making her creations enduring treasures that transmit energy, beauty, and the enduring pursuit of life and art. Sara’s commitment to innovation, intuition, and meticulous craftsmanship positions her as a visionary in the contemporary jewelry landscape, continually redefining what modern adornment can represent.

    Together, SciSure and Safety Partners are redefining how research labs manage safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. This partnership combines Safety Partners’ peer-to-peer consulting model with SciSure’s best-in-class digital platform, bringing together decades of hands-on EHS expertise with a powerful, user-friendly system for managing lab data, safety, and compliance.

    “Most labs juggle expert consulting with outdated tools—think spreadsheets, PDFs, and point solutions that don’t talk to each other,” said Jon Zibell, VP of Global Alliances at SciSure. “With this partnership, we’re connecting those expert services directly to the software platform scientists already use to —eliminate silos, streamline audits, and drive efficiency for research teams.”

    “At Safety Partners, our mission has always been to keep people safe and labs compliant while removing the additional stress of compliance,” said Jennifer Reilly, Managing Director, Safety Partners. “By combining our team’s expertise with SciSure’s platform, our clients get a more complete, proactive, and digitized way to manage EHS and risk.”

    “The scientific community has made it clear: they want their EHS programs to live in the same platform where they manage research and operations,” said Philip Meer, CEO of SciSure. “By combining Safety Partners’ trusted consulting with SciSure, we’re giving labs the digital-first experience they expect, with the confidence of expert guidance built in.”

    Safety Partners’ Consulting Safety Officers can now deliver digitally enabled EHS services utilizing the SciSure platform. Clients have the opportunity to gain access to real-time dashboards, digital audit trails, and centralized access to training records, inspections, chemical inventory, SDS, and equipment logs—all in one place.

    For SciSure customers, the partnership unlocks seamless access to expert-led safety programs—delivered inside the same system where research and operations already live. For Safety Partners clients, it means going fully digital: less administrative burden, more oversight, and faster compliance.

    Homesage.ai Achieves More Accurate Investment Insights for Real Estate Professionals

    Expanded dataset strengthens AI-powered property analytics, delivering more accurate investment insights for real estate professionals nationwide

    Broader coverage means our AI models work with richer data, which directly improves the accuracy of every valuation, investment score, and rental estimate we deliver,”
    — Blaze Dimov, CEO and Founder of Homesage.ai

    WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Homesage.ai today announced that its AI-powered property analytics platform has expanded coverage to more than 150 million U.S. residential properties, up from 140 million.

    The data expansion strengthens every product in the company’s ecosystem, including Full Property Reports, Investment Property Search, and its suite of over 20 Real Estate APIs.

    Real estate professionals depend on comprehensive, up-to-date data to make confident investment decisions. Gaps in property coverage can lead to incomplete analyses, missed opportunities, and inaccurate valuations, particularly in secondary markets and rural areas where data availability has traditionally been limited.

    “Broader coverage means our AI models work with richer data, which directly improves the accuracy of every valuation, investment score, and rental estimate we deliver,” said Blaze Dimov, CEO and Founder of Homesage.ai. “This milestone reflects our commitment to building the most complete AI-driven property intelligence platform in the country.”

    The expanded dataset enhances the platform’s core AI capabilities across all 50 states, including:

    1- Investment Potential Scores that rate properties as Good, High, or Excellent based on AI-powered profitability analysis

    2- Renovation Cost Estimates powered by computer vision models that analyze property images to deliver data-driven project budgets

    3- Price Flexibility Scores that evaluate seller motivation and listing price flexibility

    4- Short-Term (Airbnb) and Long-Term Rental ROI projections with detailed cash flow, cap rate, and cash-on-cash calculations

    5- AI-powered Comps that deliver instant, accurate comparable sales for faster due diligence

    Homesage.ai’s platform continuously collects and processes data hourly, ensuring users have access to the most up-to-date information available.

    The company’s Full Property Reports generate comprehensive investment analysis in seconds, featuring an interactive “what-if” engine that allows users to model four distinct investment scenarios: Flip, Primary Residence, Long-Term Rental, and Short-Term Rental (Airbnb), and adjust inputs like renovation budgets to see real-time impact on profitability.

    The data expansion also benefits developers and PropTech firms integrating Homesage.ai’s Real Estate APIs, which now return richer results across endpoints covering property data, investment analysis, property condition assessments, bulk property information, and more.

  • RevOptimum Launches Hotel Revenue Growth Audit to Help Independent Hotels Increase Market Share & Direct Revenue in 2026

    RevOptimum Launches Hotel Revenue Growth Audit to Help Independent Hotels Increase Market Share & Direct Revenue in 2026

    New diagnostic service identifies revenue gaps, pricing inefficiencies, and competitive positioning weaknesses limiting hotel profitability.

    CHARLESTON, SC, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — RevOptimum today announced the official launch of its Hotel Revenue Growth Audit, a strategic performance diagnostic designed to help independent and boutique hotels strengthen market share, improve pricing precision, and increase direct revenue.

    In today’s competitive landscape, many independent hotels are operating below their full potential. Rising distribution costs, competitive pricing pressure, and evolving booking behaviors have created hidden performance gaps that are often difficult to detect internally.

    “Our experience shows that most hotels do not have a demand problem — they have a positioning and share-capture gap,” said Scott Frothingham, Chief Revenue Management Officer of RevOptimum. “When performance appears stable but below true market potential, that gap often represents significant untapped revenue.”

    The Hotel Revenue Growth Audit delivers a structured executive-level analysis focused on identifying:

    Market share performance trends

    Competitive pricing alignment

    Segment mix shifts affecting ADR

    Channel contribution and OTA exposure

    Forecast accuracy and yield strategy

    Direct booking conversion opportunities

    Unlike generic reports, the audit provides a clear, prioritized roadmap outlining where performance gaps exist and what corrective strategies can be implemented immediately.

    The service is positioned as a strategic entry point for independent hotel owners, asset managers, and management companies seeking outside expertise without committing to long-term agreements.

    Hotels interested in evaluating their current revenue performance and identifying growth opportunities can learn more at:

    Cloud Teleoperation and Orchestration: Scalable, safe autonomy with remote assistance, fleet coordination, and continuous performance optimization.​

    Together, these layers deliver an adaptive, explainable, and infrastructure‑aware robotic ecosystem ready for industrial and urban automation. Ottumn.AI use NVIDIA Isaac Sim, an open robotics simulation framework, to create digital twins for testing, NVIDIA Jetson for on‑device computing, and NVIDIA accelerated computing to manage fleets globally. Ottonomy also plans to use NVIDIA Cosmos open world foundation models and NVIDIA Nemotron family of open models with open weights, training data, and recipes for future development.​

    Addressing a Global Need
    The logistics and automation market is facing a labor shortage and a demand for efficiency. Ottumn.AI solves the last‑mile and “last‑inch” delivery gap by connecting isolated machines into a single, efficient network.
    Universal Compatibility (VDA5050) – Ottumn.AI is built to play well with others and complies with the VDA5050 standard, meaning it can manage mixed fleets. Ottobots, third‑party cleaning robots and drones can all operate under one orchestration brain, preventing vendor lock‑in and making scaling easier for businesses.​ Ottumn.AI will be demonstrated live at the India AI Summit / India AI Impact Summit 2026, featuring a multi‑modal mission involving robots, drones and building integration.

    Strategic Partnerships
    “With Ottumn.AI, we’re moving from isolated automation to orchestrated autonomy—the first asynchronous deliveries framework connecting robots, drones, Arrive Points, elevators and access doors in live environments like hospitals, sidewalks or campuses,” said Ritukar Vijay, CEO and Founder of Ottonomy. “Built using NVIDIA AI infrastructure and enabled by partnerships with Arrive AI and Skye Air Mobility, Ottumn.AI delivers the intelligence, safety and scale required to navigate complex physical environments.”​

    Arrive AI (NASDAQ: ARAI)
    Ottonomy has partnered with Arrive AI to integrate Arrive Points™—smart, secure receptacles that act as a universal exchange point.​
    Secure exchange: Robots drop items into the Arrive Point and staff retrieve them later.
    Smart features: Climate control for medicine and UV sterilization for hygiene.
    Result: In hospitals, nurses can place a specimen in the box and walk away; the system handles the rest.

    Skye Air Mobility
    Partnering with India’s leading drone platform, Ottumn.AI extends its reach to the sky.
    Seamless handover: The system coordinates handoffs between ground robots and drones.
    Speed: Ensures quick delivery windows in congested cities.
    Sustainability: Reduces carbon emissions significantly compared to traditional courier vans.
