FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GA Telesis, LLC ("GAT"), a global leader in integrated aviation and aerospace services, announced the acquisition of three additional Airbus A320neo (LEAP-1A) airframes, further strengthening its leadership position in the next-generation aviation aftermarket. With two additional A320neo aircraft expected to be added before the end of 2026, the company is on track to expand its portfolio by five aircraft this year alone.

The acquisitions reinforce GA Telesis' position as a leading provider of A320neo used serviceable material (USM), with an inventory footprint that continues to outpace the emerging aftermarket for this next-generation platform.

Rather than waiting for next-generation aircraft to reach traditional retirement age, GA Telesis is proactively creating the aftermarket supply infrastructure years ahead of the conventional cycle. This forward-looking strategy is designed to address growing demand for cost-saving, serviceable components as airlines contend with persistent supply chain constraints, extended maintenance turnaround times, and an expanding global A320neo fleet.

The newly acquired aircraft represent some of the earliest A320neo airframes entering the aftermarket for disassembly, providing access to high-demand components that have historically been difficult to source outside original equipment manufacturer channels. The aircraft also include LEAP-1A engine nacelles and landing gear further enhancing GA Telesis' next-generation material portfolio.

Beyond its growing airframe inventory, GA Telesis distinguishes itself through its ability to provide aftermarket support for both engine platforms powering the A320neo family: the CFM International LEAP-1A and Pratt & Whitney PW1100 Geared Turbofan (GTF). This dual-platform capability, combined with the company's global distribution infrastructure, technical expertise, and extensive component inventory, positions GA Telesis to deliver comprehensive solutions across the A320neo fleet.

"GA Telesis has never built its aftermarket strategy around waiting for aircraft to retire," said Jim Sokol, President of GA Telesis' Flight Solutions Group. "We identify where the market is going and invest ahead of the demand curve. With five A320neo aircraft being added to our (existing) neo portfolio this year, we are creating access to next-generation material well before the traditional retirement cycle would otherwise make it available. Our customers need solutions today, not ten years from now."

Through its Flight Solutions Group and integrated aviation services platform, GA Telesis provides airlines, lessors, and MRO organizations worldwide with component solutions, inventory management, distribution, and lifecycle support. Its expanding A320neo portfolio builds upon the company's established leadership in aircraft disassembly, USM distribution, and asset management. As the aviation industry transitions toward newer-generation aircraft, GA Telesis continues to challenge conventional aftermarket models by acquiring assets earlier in their lifecycle and accelerating the availability of critical replacement components.

Suvoda makes Sofia AI assistant available for clinical trials to drive faster answers and action

Key Takeaways

- Clinical trials require guard railed AI that's purpose built for the regulated industry that has high human stakes and required audit trails.

- Sofia helps make complex, fast-moving trial data more accessible to study teams who manage large volumes of time-sensitive work.

- Study teams can get faster answers and take confident action. Sofia goes beyond information retrieval and can execute authorized system actions on behalf of busy users while maintaining the permissions and audit trails required in clinical trials.

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Suvoda, a global clinical trial technology company, today announced that Sofia, its AI assistant on the Suvoda Platform, is ready for all new clinical trials using Suvoda RTSM/IRT or Suvoda eCOA. Sofia gives sponsors, CROs, and sites faster access to trial data and the ability to act on it—through AI built for regulated clinical research.

"Sofia handles the routine operational work so that sponsors, CROs, and sites can focus on the decisions that require their judgment," said E.K. Koh, Chief Product Officer, Suvoda. "We built it with the rigor clinical trials demand because in this environment there is no room for a wrong answer."

Clinical trial teams manage high volumes of time-sensitive work. They track drug inventory, review shipment details, monitor patient visit schedules, and manage questionnaire compliance across global sites. Checking those data streams can pull attention away from patients and judgment-intensive decisions. Sofia is designed to change that equation. The goal is to make complex, fast-moving trial data more accessible so teams can focus their attention where human expertise matters most.

Sofia launched first with early adopter companies that helped shape it before today's expansion to all new Suvoda RTSM/IRT and eCOA trials.

"As an early adopter, we were impressed by how quickly our teams incorporated Sofia into their daily workflow," said Dawn Sorenson, Director, IRT Center of Excellence, Daiichi Sankyo. "The platform's ability to summarize documentation and answer operational questions makes information more accessible and reduces the time spent navigating systems or pulling reports. Tasks that once required multiple steps can now be addressed through a simple conversation, creating meaningful efficiency gains across study operations."

Built differently than general-purpose AI

Some AI tools apply a large language model to a problem and hope the output is accurate. Sofia is built differently. Conversational AI maps each question's intent to Suvoda's validated knowledge space, where subject matter experts have translated expert guidance into validated skills. Those skills execute against live study data within a governed framework that protects the study blind and creates the audit trail clinical trials require. Today, Sofia supports more than 40 topics and is expanding continuously.

From information to action

Sofia does not stop with just answering questions. For authorized users, Sofia can execute system actions on their behalf in a single conversation. Before acting, Sofia summarizes what it will do and asks for confirmation. Every action is attributed to the requesting user, governed by existing roles and permissions, and captured in a full audit trail.

Sofia recently received the PM360 Innovation Award in the Artificial Intelligence category, reflecting the pragmatic yet innovative approach Suvoda took to create Sofia. Early adopters were instrumental to creating a system that really works for what study teams need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Sofia handle data privacy and security?

A: Sofia operates with a zero-data retention policy, never uses customer data to train public models, and scopes every user's access to exactly what they are already authorized to see within the Suvoda Platform.

Q: How is Sofia different from a general chatbot?

A: Sofia is a purpose-built, deterministic AI assistant that executes Suvoda-authored expert instructions against live clinical trial data within a governed framework, and it can also take authorized system actions on a user's behalf after obtaining confirmation from the user.

Q: What languages does Sofia support?

A: Sofia responds in the language of the question, supporting global sponsor, CRO, and site teams operating across time zones and regions.

Aatmunn Secures Up to $8 Million Growth Investment from Memento Growth Partners to Scale SPANR

Funding accelerates sales, marketing and R&D for SPANR, the intelligence layer for industrial operations

LIVONIA, Mich., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aatmunn, the industrial intelligence company behind the SPANR platform, today announced a growth investment of up to $8 million from Santa Monica-based Memento Growth Partners (MGP), with participation from existing investors. The funding will expand Aatmunn's sales and marketing organization and accelerate SPANR R&D, including AI integration.

SPANR is a unified data layer for the industrial frontline.

SOC 2 Type II audited, SPANR is used by more than 300 enterprises across the United States, Canada and Europe and trusted by safety teams protecting more than 80,000 workers.

"SPANR turns that fragmentation into one live picture of people, assets and risk, and then helps teams decide and act. MGP understands that this layer is mission-critical, and their partnership gives us the fuel to put SPANR in front of far more of the world's frontline operations."

"Legacy industrial environments are where AI can deliver some of its most tangible value, and also where it is hardest to deploy," said Kareem El Sawy, Founder & Managing Partner at Memento Growth Partners. "Aatmunn has done the difficult work: a decade of field experience, multi-OEM device integrations, an audit-grade system of record and a growing base of blue-chip customers. We see SPANR as the intelligence layer industrial enterprises will standardize on, and we are proud to back the team as it scales."

Aatmunn's customers include Fortune 500 leaders in energy, aerospace, logistics, construction and advanced manufacturing. Its partnership with a global supply chain leader, where SPANR powers the partner's Connected Safety business, is now expanding into equipment rental.

For OEMs, SPANR is a white-label platform: one industrial hardware OEM recently launched two product lines on SPANR, compressing a three-year software roadmap into five and a half months. Its fixed-scope Audit-in-a-Box and Inspection-in-a-Box programs put SPANR live on a customer's own operations within weeks.

Corgi Insurance Appoints Daniel Oldham as Head of Underwriting for Trucking

ATLANTA, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Corgi Insurance recently announced the appointment of Daniel Oldham, CPCU, as Head of Underwriting for Trucking, bringing more than a decade of commercial insurance and transportation underwriting experience to the company.

Oldham joins Corgi with extensive experience developing and managing transportation insurance programs, leading underwriting teams, and building profitable books of business across specialty insurance markets.

RAMSEY, N.J., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AppWork, the maintenance operations and risk management platform built for multifamily property operators, has acquired Paraspot AI, the industry's first ever video-based AI inspection platform.

Paraspot's technology is the first in the industry to guide both residents and on-site teams through an inspection using AI that can see and understand what it sees and hears. It can automatically detect damage like cracks, stains, broken and missing items, through its video and voice intelligence models.

At move-out, the system pulls up the unit's original move-in inspection and lines it up side by side, so it can detect what changed. The result is a complete inspection report with time-stamped photos, clear descriptions, and estimated repair costs. That level of detail gives operators the documentation to back up security deposit charges, so residents are only billed for damage they're responsible for.

Paraspot AI brings proven experience to AppWork trained on millions of data points from thousands of multifamily, single-family, and student housing inspections. This massive dataset makes AppWork even more comprehensive and precise, giving property managers a reliable tool they can trust from day one. Some Paraspot clients have already shifted their entire inspection and security deposit process to a centralized accounting team, freeing site staff to focus on other priorities.

AppWork plans to rebuild Paraspot's technology directly into its own system and architecture, with a release planned later this year. That will bring video based AI-guided inspections fully into the AppWork platform property teams use daily.

"We believe visual intelligence is going to be central to how multifamily operates moving forward, not just for inspections, but for due diligence, security, inventory management, asset tracking, vendor work verification, and even marketing," said Sean Landsberg, CEO of AppWork. "When I first saw Paraspot, I thought it was a gimmick, that AI wasn't advanced enough to trust with something like this. I was wrong, and this acquisition is us betting on how far that trust can go."

Paraspot's founders worked closely with AppWork following the acquisition to support the transition of the company, its customers, and technology. Yakir Saadia, co-founder and CEO of Paraspot, will continue working alongside AppWork as the technology is integrated into the AppWork platform as its new head of computer vision. "For the last five years we've been pushing what's possible, building the technology that helped define what AI-powered property inspections can be," said Saadia. "Joining AppWork means that work can now become part of a broader platform property teams already rely on every day." Nathan Herz, co-founder and COO of Paraspot, added: "Building Paraspot from an idea into a technology used across thousands of properties in the U.S. and Europe has been an incredible journey, We saw early that advances in computer vision and AI could fundamentally change how physical assets are inspected and managed, and we built a product and business around that conviction. I'm proud of the company we built, the customers and partners who believed in us, and the outcome we achieved. With the transition now complete, I'm excited to take everything I've learned building, scaling, and ultimately selling Paraspot into what comes next."

The acquisition adds improved inspection technology to a platform that already handles the rest of the maintenance workflow, from Work Orders through unit turns and compliance documentation. It also positions AppWork at the forefront of compliance standards, satisfying state requirements like California's AB 2801, which sets new documentation standards for inspections, a direction more states are expected to follow. Inspection data will flow directly into features property teams already use, including the Make Ready Board, so inspections will connect to the workflow instead of sitting apart from it. AppWork looks forward to sharing more on how the technology will be implemented into the software in the coming months.

About AppWork

AppWork is a maintenance operations and risk management platform built for multifamily property operators. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Ramsey, New Jersey, AppWork gives maintenance teams and property managers one place to manage Work Orders, unit turns, inspections, and compliance, backed by real technician adoption data, AI-powered AppWork Intelligence on every Work Order, and daily Insight Reports. AppWork is SOC 2 Type II certified. Learn more at appworkco.com.
