New solution centralizes SDS access, improves document control, and features AI-assisted capabilities to help employees find critical safety information when they need it

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CHEMTREC, a trusted leader in safety and compliance solutions for 55+ years, today announced the launch of its new SDS Management platform, designed with manufacturers in mind, to help organizations simplify the way they access, organize, maintain and share safety data sheets (SDSs).

Organizations shouldn't have to chase down SDSs. Yet for many teams, managing safety data sheets still means searching through scattered files, shared drives, spreadsheets and paper binders while navigating time-consuming administrative and compliance tasks. CHEMTREC's SDS Management platform offers a more modern approach, bringing together centralized SDS access, fast search, QR Code and mobile capabilities, employee self-service, AI-assisted tools and streamlined document distribution.

Users can also search CHEMTREC's Master SDS Library and link available documents directly to their company's library, helping reduce the time and effort spent sourcing and managing SDSs. The result is a smarter, more efficient way to manage SDSs while supporting Hazard Communication, compliance, and workplace safety programs.

"The gold standard for emergency response is rapid access to an accurate, current SDS," said Andrew LaVanway, Chief Executive of CHEMTREC. "The what is simple, but the how is where it gets hard. Our SDS Management platform helps organizations simplify the work of achieving that standard. One place, one link, one click."

CHEMTREC launched an SDS Management platform because we uniquely understand the importance of getting the right SDS into the hands of the right person when it matters most. Customers can manage SDS authoring, maintenance, access, and emergency response through one provider. CHEMTREC understands why SDS accuracy, accessibility, and distribution matter because our teams rely on SDS information every day to support safety and incident management.

For organizations managing SDS programs across multiple facilities, the platform can support multiple locations, helping businesses expand their SDS management program as their needs evolve.

"Early access from our existing customers has been an important part of bringing this platform to market," said Heather Walker, Director of Product Management and Development at CHEMTREC.

"Customers have told us that the platform offers a more intuitive experience and stronger capabilities than other SDS management solutions they've used. That feedback reinforces what we set out to accomplish: create a modern, competitive solution that makes SDS management easier while delivering the level of service and support customers expect from CHEMTREC," said Walker.

The launch further strengthens CHEMTREC's broader Safety Data Sheet Solutions. Organizations can pair the new SDS Management platform with CHEMTREC's SDS Authoring services, providing access to SDS creation, maintenance, and management through a single provider.

New insights from TruGrid show how connecting engineering, procurement, and construction before mobilization strengthens financing confidence for energy storage and solar projects.

HOUSTON, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TruGrid, a leading energy storage and solar company that provides engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) as well as operations and maintenance (O&M) services, has released new insights on how the right EPC partner can reduce risk before construction begins.

The article details three areas where TruGrid's EPC model can reduce risk:

- Design to Build: A buildable project starts with the right design and engineering partner. TruGrid shares how the engineer of record selection can help identify constructability issues early, reducing costly surprises during construction.

- Price Beyond the Price Tag: The lowest equipment price doesn't always mean the lowest project cost. TruGrid examines how lead times, tariffs, foreign entities of concern requirements, domestic content, supplier stability, and other factors can turn sourcing decisions into schedule and financing decisions.

- Plan for the Real World: Execution starts long before crews mobilize. TruGrid outlines how planning for safety, quality, labor, and subcontractor performance can create a more predictable path between construction and commissioning.

"No EPC can eliminate every risk from an energy project. What matters is how early you identify those risks and how many options you have," says TruGrid Chief Commercial Officer Chris Finley. "Our track record of completing projects on time and within budget, all while maintaining a 0.0 TRIR throughout 2025 and year to date in 2026, reflects our values and discipline. For developers and project investors, that execution history provides something that a project model can't: evidence of a team that can deliver bankable projects."

The article continues to outline that when engineering, procurement, and construction strategies are evaluated together, developers gain greater confidence in their design, clearer visibility into supply chain risk, more defensible cost and schedule assumptions, and a stronger story for lenders and investors.

- From January to August 2026, roughly one in every seven dollars sent through this corridor moved through Bitso's infrastructure.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitso, Latin America's leading digital financial services company, processed 14.7% of all remittances sent from the United States to Mexico in the first eight months of 2026, based on Banco de México (Banxico) figures. The result reflects the growth of Bitso Business, the company's B2B payments unit.

Unlike a traditional direct-to-consumer remittance service, Bitso operates as part of the infrastructure that enables remittance companies and other financial providers to move money between the United States and Mexico. Its technology uses digital assets and stablecoins as rails to transfer value across borders and settle in local currency, reducing the friction of moving money internationally.

Remittances are one of Mexico's main sources of foreign currency and account for about 4% of GDP. According to Banxico, Mexico received US$41.8 billion in remittances between January and August 2026, up 2.2% year over year. Of that total, 99.1% (US$41.4 billion) arrived through electronic transfers.

In 2024, Bitso estimated it was processing more than 10% of US–Mexico corridor volume through Bitso Business and the companies that use its technology for international payments.

"Close to 15% of US–Mexico remittances now run through our infrastructure. That shows digital assets are no longer a niche technology. They are becoming part of the financial infrastructure that moves money in Latin America. Most people receiving a remittance never see the technology behind it. What matters is that their money arrives faster, more efficiently and more securely," said Felipe Vallejo, CEO of Bitso Mexico.

About Bitso

Bitso is Latin America's leading digital financial services group, serving more than 10 million users and over 2,000 institutional clients through a regulated financial infrastructure built for the digital economy.

Through its ecosystem of specialized companies, including Nvío, Nvierte, and Juno, Bitso provides consumers with access to digital assets, equities, and investment products, while enabling businesses and financial institutions to process local and cross-border payments at scale.

Founded in 2014, Bitso operates across North, Central, and South America and Europe.

COVINGTON, Ky., Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Promevo today launched Insights by Promevo, the first platform to unify AI agent governance, Gemini Enterprise adoption, and Google Cloud cost management into a comprehensive view, giving leaders visibility that native tools cannot provide. The platform comes from Promevo, a Google Cloud Partner and the creator of gPanel, the top rated Google Workspace management and reporting software.

Unifying AI Governance, Security, and FinOps into a Single Pane of Glass

Insights by Promevo addresses critical visibility gaps by delivering a unified visibility plane for an organization's entire Gemini Enterprise and Google Cloud ecosystem. The platform provides real-time, comprehensive observability across three key areas:

- AI License Optimization: Insights surfaces deep intelligence on license utilization and adoption trends. The platform automatically identifies idle or underutilized licenses, quantifying direct, reclaimable spend to optimize software investments.

- AI Agent Governance & Security: Insights creates a complete inventory of all custom-built AI agents, mapping out their specific permissions and data access. This allows IT and security teams to manage their AI security posture, enforce the principle of least privilege, and mitigate risk without impeding innovation.

- AI Cost Attribution (FinOps): Insights clarifies the total cost of ownership (TCO) for AI by connecting every agent to its underlying Google Cloud resource consumption and associated costs.

While native consoles provide fragmented data with limited 28-day lookback windows, Insights consolidates these disparate data silos into a single platform with extended historical data retention. This enables powerful trend analysis and forensics. Insights provides this complete visibility and governance without ever reading or storing an organization's sensitive prompt or response content, ensuring data privacy and trust.

Extending Visibility Across Google Cloud

The same continuously updated view extends beyond Gemini Enterprise into the rest of a customer's Google Cloud environment, giving IT and finance leader real-time visibility into cost, assets, and access:

- Cloud FinOps: Real-time visibility into cloud spend and resource allocation by project and service, enabling precise budget control.

- Asset Discovery & Hierarchy: A living, continuously updated map of the organization's cloud footprint, including every project, folder, and asset.

- Access Intelligence: Cross-project IAM visibility that automatically flags overpermissioned users and risky role assignments.

For enterprises running Gemini Enterprise agents that touch Google Cloud resources, that means a clear view across a license, to the agent using it, to the cloud resources and cost behind it.

Executive Perspective

"We built Insights by Promevo to address the biggest questions enterprises have around AI: are my employees benefiting from it, are we managing costs, and are agents within proper boundaries?" says Karthik Kripapuri, Promevo CEO. "We're already seeing customer organizations with thousands of agents, and as that scale becomes common and even proliferates, platforms like Insights will be there to help organizations have full visibility into every user, every agent, and every dollar spent."

Availability

Insights by Promevo is available today for customers utilizing Google Workspace and Gemini Enterprise, with platform expansion planned in the coming days and weeks.

Besides Insights by Promevo, Promevo also offers a broad array of services to enable AI optimization organization-wide

- The Gemini Enterprise Accelerator structured adoption program

- Custom and no-code agent development

- An agent ISV program enabling enterprises to publish their own agents on the Google Cloud Marketplace.

About Promevo 

Celebrating 25 years of operation, Promevo is a dedicated Google Cloud Partner helping more than 4,000 organizations worldwide maximize the value of their Google investments, from Google Workspace and Google Cloud to Chrome Enterprise. Promevo is also the company behind gPanel, the  top rated Google Workspace administration platform, available at gpanel.io.
