Venuiti Healthcare aids healthcare compliance with Conformance Testing Suite
Canadian technology company Venuiti Healthcare, in collaboration with Amplify Care, has introduced a Conformance Testing Suite, which aims to assist caregivers and software vendors in maintaining compliance with health information standards. This initiative marks a step towards streamlining the digital transformation of patient care in Canada. The Conformance Testing Suite addresses the increasing complexity of healthcare standards at provincial, national, and jurisdictional levels. The platform enables organisations to remain compliant without compromising operational efficiency, ensuring that healthcare systems across the country advance in unison. Venuiti director Jordan Schroecker said: 'As two Canadian companies deeply invested in the future of our healthcare system, we designed this to give healthcare professionals exactly what they need: clear insights, actionable outcomes, and the confidence to modernise while staying aligned.' Care givers benefit from the suite's features, including downloadable, audit-ready reports, a complete history of testing and modifications, and detailed insights at the code level. These tools enable IT teams, compliance leaders, and clinical decision-makers to take decisive, informed actions promptly, eliminating uncertainty and delays. Venuiti chief technology officer Alexey Sidelnikov said: 'By turning regulatory complexity into clear, testable outputs—right down to the lines of code—we're giving them the ability to move fast, stay aligned, and focus more energy on delivering care.' Curated to the real-world demands of adhering to health information standards, the suite ensures that software solutions used by healthcare professionals can interoperate effectively, scale systems, and adapt to changing mandates while enhancing the quality of care delivery. Venuiti specialises in custom software and digital transformation solutions for the healthcare sector. Previously known as the eHealth Centre of Excellence, Amplify Care champions clinicians by amplifying their voices and facilitating the adoption of digital health solutions that reduce workloads and enhance clinicians' workflows.

H&S expanding use of digital shelf labels
This story was originally published on C-Store Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily C-Store Dive newsletter. H&S Energy Group is adding electronic shelf labels from digital solutions company Aperion to its stores, according to a press release from Aperion's parent company, Hussmann. The retailer tested the labels in seven locations in early 2025, and has now decided to expand the product to all roughly 300 locations. That expansion is expected to complete sometime in 2026. Electronic shelf labels should help H&S make price updates quicker and help create a better customer experience, according to the announcement. H&S's electronic shelf labels will allow the company to instantly update pricing on any item remotely. According to Aperion's brochure, the technology can cut the labor cost of pricing items by up to 90%. The tags can also display additional information, such as whether there's a deal for the item or when something out-of-stock is expected to be back. In its release, Hussmann said H&S plans to eventually use the digital tags for inventory management, digital coupons and loyalty program tie-ins, as well. "This rollout is a key milestone in our broader digital transformation strategy," said Fidaa Mohrez, senior director of operational systems at H&S Energy Group. "By deploying Aperion's Electronic Shelf Labels, we're improving pricing accuracy, reducing manual effort, and delivering a more consistent experience for our customers.' Mohrez also noted that the digital labels cut down on waste, since paper tags won't need to be printed out every time a product or price changes. Since roughly doubling its store count in early 2024 with the acquisition of Andretti Petroleum Group, Orange, California-based H&S has made a number of tech upgrades, including adding car wash subscriptions to its app, adding temperature monitoring to refrigerators, heaters and freezers, and expanding the availability of delivery from its stores.

Volvo Group and Daimler Truck partner to launch Coretura
On Tuesday, Volvo Group and Daimler Truck officially launched Coretura, a joint venture dedicated to developing a standardized software-defined vehicle platform for commercial vehicles. The launch followed binding agreements between the two companies, signed in October 2024. By early June, the companies obtained all required regulatory approvals and began operations in Gothenburg, Sweden. Coretura aims to build a non-differentiating core software platform and dedicated commercial vehicle operating system, as OEMs jockey to position themselves at the forefront of digital transformation in the transportation industry. 'With Coretura, we are setting a clear strategic focus on software development for commercial vehicles,' said Karin Rådström, President and CEO of Daimler Truck in the release. 'This is a big and really exciting step — not just for us, but for the entire industry and our customers. Together we are starting the digital-driven future of trucks and buses, ultimately making commercial vehicles smarter, more connected, and more efficient than ever before.' Coretura's activities include the specification and procurement of centralized high-performance control units designed specifically for commercial vehicles. These units will be capable of handling large amounts of data, allowing for decoupled software and hardware development cycles. A major benefit will enable end customers to purchase and update digital applications wirelessly 'over the air.' The joint venture will be led by a four-member Executive Management team composed of two representatives from each shareholder company. Johan Lundén, previously responsible for Strategic Product Planning, Project and Innovation management at Volvo Group, has been appointed CEO. 'This joint venture blends the agility of a start-up with the stability and expertise of our major shareholders,' said Lundén. 'We are proud and energized to lead the digital transformation in the commercial vehicle industry—backed by strong shareholder support and committed to shaping the industry's future.' Despite the partnership, Volvo Group and Daimler Truck will remain competitors, continuing to differentiate their product and service offerings, including their respective digital solutions. Coretura is open to cooperation with new and traditional suppliers and partners who share its values. Starting with approximately 50 employees, the company plans to grow incrementally, with its first products expected to launch in vehicles by 2030. Preliminary net trailer orders in the U.S. dropped by over 2,300 units from April to May, a 26% decline to 6,600 units, according to the latest data from ACT Research. Despite the monthly decline, orders remained nearly 12% higher compared to May 2024. When seasonally adjusted, May's order intake rises to 9,200 units, with final results expected later in June. ACT notes final order numbers typically fall within 5% of the preliminary data. The May decline aligns with expected seasonal patterns, but broader concerns about market stability remain. 'Lower May net order intake was expected, as it is one of the weakest order months of the annual cycle. More concerning, though, is this level of order acceptance does nothing to support backlog growth, particularly with the elevated cancellation rates reported in the past several months,' said Jennifer McNealy, director CV market research & publications at ACT Research in the release. Multiple factors continue to cause trailer market headwinds for manufacturers and suppliers. Notably, weak for-hire truck market fundamentals, depressed used equipment valuations, and relatively full inventories. High interest rates and uncertainty surrounding potential policy shifts related to tariffs were also mentioned. Looking ahead, ACT Research remains cautious. McNealy added, 'With weak for-hire truck market fundamentals, low used equipment valuations, relatively full inventories, high interest rates, and the ambiguity of policy shifts still in play, ACT's expectations for subdued build and order intake levels during 2025 remain intact.'

From Strategy to Action: African Development Bank and Google Explore Africa's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Future at the 2025 Annual Meetings
One side event at the African Development Bank Group's ( 2025 Annual Meetings unpacked the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a powerful tool to advance inclusive and sustainable development across the African continent. Held under the theme: 'The AI Revolution: How Will AI Support the Delivery of the African Development Bank's 2024–2033 Ten-Year Strategy and the Transformation of African Economies?', the 90-minute session convened leading voices from across sectors. The event was co-hosted with Google AI Research. At the heart of the discussion was the question: What will it take for Africa to become AI-ready? which was the central theme of the high-level panel discussion as part of the event. In his opening remarks, Solomon Quaynor, Vice-President for Private Sector, Infrastructure&Industrialization of the African Development Bank underscored the critical role of digital transformation in shaping Africa's future: 'AI is not a luxury—it's a necessity for Africa's competitiveness, resilience, and long-term prosperity,' he said. Caroline Kende-Robb, Senior Director of Strategy and Operational Policies at the Bank, framed the conversation within the context of the Bank's 2024–2033 Ten-Year Strategy ( She stressed that 'Investing in youth and data infrastructure is no longer optional—these are the foundations upon which Africa must build its AI future.' Her remarks echoed the strategy's call to leapfrog development through innovation, anchored in African realities and driven by African talent. Following her intervention, Abdoulaye Diack, Program Manager at Google AI Research Africa, highlighted the transformative potential of AI to address structural challenges and unlock progress in agriculture, education, climate adaptation, and public health. Diack emphasized the importance of contextualizing AI for African environments, warning that 'without local data and inclusive models, Africa risks becoming a passive consumer rather than an active creator of AI solutions.' Ibrahim Kalil Konaté, Côte d'Ivoire's Minister of Digital Transition and Digitalization, advocated for regional coordination and harmonized policy frameworks to enable responsible, cross-border implementation of AI technologies. Robert Skjodt, Group CEO of Raxio Group, focused on the critical need for robust digital infrastructure—especially local data centers—to support the scale and speed required for Africa's AI ambitions. Ousmane Fall, Director of Private Sector Transaction Support at the Bank, called for the development of bankable, scalable digital infrastructure projects that can attract long-term investment. Moustapha Cissé, CEO of Kera Health Platforms, and a respected pioneer in African AI research, stressed the need for ethical frameworks and AI systems that reflect African social, cultural, and healthcare contexts. Muthoni Karubiu, Chief Operations Officer at Amini, concluded the panel with a call to enhance data sovereignty, especially in the context of agriculture and climate action, by ensuring access to localized and context-specific environmental data. Harnessing the power of AI for Africa's success A strong consensus emerged across the panel - for Africa to harness AI effectively, it must focus on three foundational pillars: - Human Capital: Equip the next generation with AI literacy and professional expertise. - Data Infrastructure: Build the digital backbone for connectivity, storage, and secure data exchange. - Localized Data: Train AI systems on African realities, including languages, culture, and societal needs. With Africa holding just 1.3% of global data storage capacity and lagging in digital readiness, speakers agreed that the continent is at a crossroads and must urgently make the choice to invest now, or risk falling further behind. As Africa moves forward in artificial intelligence, the African Development Bank reaffirms its commitment to shaping a digital future that is inclusive, sovereign, and anchored in shared prosperity.
