XTM CEO Bob Willans joins SlatorPod to discuss the journey of the company he co-founded back in 2002. Bob talks about growing XTM with little outside funding to become a USD 11m SaaS company in 2021.

He tells us about XTMs decision and search to bring on financial backers in 2021, which culminated in XTMs majority sale to US-based investment firm K1 Investment Management in January 2021.

Bob shares his views on the TMS funding and investment boom in 2020, which he says had little to do with Covid (for the record), and unpacks the landmark shifts in translation management technology over the past two decades from the advent of the cloud to the integration of neural machine translation (NMT) and AI more broadly.

Bob also talks about milestone developments in XTMs product, including totally rewriting their translation editor at one stage, and discusses how the company balances out feature requests and customization for enterprise clients against general product enhancements.

First up, Florian and Esther run through the weeks language industry news, kicking off with some key stats from the Slator 2021 Language Service Provider Index (LSPI), which features more than 175 companies on its launch in early March 2021.

The two also talk about the Language Industry Job Index (LIJI), which climbed nearly 10 points in March 2021 to match pre-Covid levels, while Florian discusses the underwhelming consumer reaction to the Apple Translate app.

Florian: First, tell us a bit more about XTM, in a nutshell, origin story, trajectory, key client segments.

Bob: Andy Zydro and I set up XTM in 2002. We started out very small and took a while to ramp up. We quickly set up a development center based in Pozna, Poland and today we have still got over 150 people there. Our development testing, support, marketing, systems admin team are all based out of Pozna. Then we have the rest of our sales team and solution architects dotted around the world in North America, South America, Europe, and Japan. XTM is pure tech. We do not provide any services and we focus on the large enterprise marketplace. XTM is highly scalable. It has been built with the enterprise in mind and that is our target market. As a result, we find that we sell to some very big enterprises, and then they specify XTM for their supply chain, so the LSPs use XTM as well.

Florian: Before XTM, what was your background? What was your career before?

Bob: I started out in South America working for a textile company as a factory manager in my late 20s and that is a pretty good experience learning about cultures and learning about leadership. From there, I went to Chile and Brazil and came back and set up an Apple dealership. I went down the entrepreneurial route. I did very well in that for a while and also set up an internet service provider called Redneck. We were one of the first in the UK. We sold that business at the top of the Dot-com bubble in 2000.

I then worked for SDL for a few years on one of the early TMS projects called SDL Webflow. Then Andy and I are who I had known for many years, we started talking and he had been working for Xerox and also Ford of Europe and said, I have got this great idea about creating a TMS, a great engine. I said, okay, show it to me, so he explained the idea and then we decided to set up a business to basically write a web-based TMS based on XML from scratch. We have been working hard at it ever since.

Esther: You have come a long way then since setting up the company in 2002. Let us talk about you teaming up with the investment firm K1. It seems like this is the first time you are taking in or bringing in outside capital. Why now?

Bob: We had a couple of very early investors, LSPs who were keen to support us in our early days but this is the first real serious investment. Why now? We have taken the company from zero to a USD 10m turnover. We can see the whole marketplace is really hotting up. There has been a lot of M&A activity. The competition is becoming increasingly strong. We needed to project where we would be in the next five years. We are very ambitious in terms of growth, in terms of our product. We thought it was the right time to bring in some external expertise, bolster our existing management team.

We worked with EY for about two years on their fast growth platform and they helped us enormously in terms of preparing for the investment and getting just the KPIs that you need for a SaaS business. We learned a lot from that, in terms of, MRR, ARR, churn rate, customer lifetime value, all these kinds of things, which are important. Then we approached a number of different private equity firms. We chose K1 because they were able to add the most value to us. They have an operations team based in Los Angeles who have a wide range of expertise. K1 specialize in fast growth, SaaS, businesses, B2B and so their operations team have a huge amount of knowledge there that they can share with us to help us on our next level of growth.

Esther: It sounds like quite a long process, potentially lots of things involved. How distracting was it to go through that process while running the business?

Bob: We tried not to distract the people doing the hard work, the developers and the salespeople and the solution architects and the support team. They were not that involved but for the senior management team, yes, absolutely, we had to, but it is part of the process of growing the business. For me, it was educational and interesting and it has prepared us for the next phase of our growth.

Florian: Why do you think now, especially 2020, was the year for TMS funding. Why now? Why 2019, 2020?

Bob: I do not think it has anything to do with Covid-19, to put it that way, but the whole translation business previously was very people-centric, very reliant on people. It is now becoming far more tech-centric so that in order to provide the service, you have got to have the right technology. As a result, the technology sector is growing rapidly. You have got NMT on one hand, you have got TMS on the other hand, you have got lots of other technologies coming in there. Where there is growth you get companies that are interested in investing, whether through acquisition or as a private equity firm or VC. There is a land grab going on at the moment, there is such fast growth that companies realize that they have to win clients as quickly as possible and to do that, you need the resources to be able to go out there and make an impact.

Esther: Expanding on that, how do you broadly think that the TMS landscape has evolved and changed over the past two decades? What are some of the key shifts?

Bob: Well, obviously when we first started out, the predominant TMSs we are not web-based and we set out right from day one to ensure XTM was going to be web-based so we wanted a self-provisioning SaaS model. We wanted XTM to be entirely web-based, not something that you have to download files and work offline but we wanted the functionality to be as good as, or better than anything else on the market. That has been a big step forward, obviously, other companies have subsequently come into that space and are doing very well.

Other areas where I have seen big changes are, obviously, machine translation which has come on enormously and the way we look at machine translation is as it is another tool for the translator. Obviously, that changes the work that the translator does. It is not just a question of seeing a translation memory match and accepting it or modifying a fuzzy match. Now it is more post-editing and I think that trend will continue. There will be more and more use of machine translation and AI for automating other things apart from the actual machine translation. We have done a huge amount of work on our proprietary technology that we call Inter-Language Vector Space. That is a cornerstone for our AI strategy so we are using that for alignment of parallel texts, we are using it for Bilingual terminology extraction and we have lots of plans for enhancing our translation environment with it as well, like predictive typing. That is all coming in and we are going to see more and more automation of the processes, so that project managers, for example, only have to get involved for exceptions rather than doing the routine stuff day in, day out.

Esther: You mentioned a couple of things that XTM has been working on. Is there anything that you think looking back in the past four to five years has helped you or has served a particular purpose for clients?

Bob: Maybe four years ago we decided that what we call XTM Editor, our translation environment, which we had started building way back in the early 2000s had reached the end of life so we took the conscious decision to rewrite it from scratch, using the latest technology. We had a lot of input from translators to make sure we got the user experience right and so that took us a long time. It is very complex, with a lot of functionality but we have completed that, it is launched. We have built into what we call the visual mode that allows users to be able to visualize the source and target while they are translating in real-time.

We also have what we call CAR, computer-aided review, which is a translation environment or a review environment, which can be customized to the specific requirements. You can hide certain features because the problem with a fully functional workbench is that it gets very complex and you have got so much going on there that a reviewer thinks, I do not want to use this because it is too complicated. If you can strip it down and simplify it then it makes their whole work experience much better and we have found that is a very key thing for us.

The other thing that we have been working on very hard is our connectors and that is an ongoing project for us. We are building connectors to all the major content management systems, to repositories and it is not just a question of simple integration. We want to have a deep integration with lots of functionality where the user within the content management system can decide which content they want to send, how to send it, when to send it, track the content as it is going through the translations, set, for example, a workflow template within XTM. All from within the content management system and then obviously receive the translated content back automatically to the right place. In some cases, we can do the preview of the web page within XTM so that you can reduce the requirement to do a review cycle within the CMS.

Florian: On the connector side as a non-developer is it primarily a development problem or is it also a contractual problem? Where you need to go through all these AP servers and ask for their permission and then it is a two-year approval process or is it just for people that are not familiar with that process? How hard is it and where is the problem?

Bob: The problems are multiple. First of all, we are not experts in many of the CMSs out there so we need to find people who are experienced in them and we have done that for many of them. Then you have to start building the connector and whenever you are connecting to systems, there are always issues that you come across in terms of connectivity. They have to be sorted and then you have to bear in mind that the CMS will change versions, it will update, and that may break your connector so you have got to be one step ahead of that. Then of course, while we are selling a lot of XTM, only a percentage of those users will want a connecter so the volume of sales, relatively speaking of a connector, is not as great as XTM itself. That is another factor to bear in mind, but in terms of the improvement in functionality, it is enormous. It just cuts out so much routine work.

Florian: For the cloud, when you started in 2002, there was no AWS. You had to basically just ditch the entire previous CAT component and recode it from scratch. On the cloud and just the infrastructure layer, do you reach a point where you are like, now there is AWS, let us just re-engineer the entire thing, or is it much more of a gradual transition?

Bob: We have the flexibility to deploy in a number of different ways. We have our multi-tenant cloud which is the self-provisioning one that people know, but we also have private cloud and that is a single-tenant solution for the larger enterprise. Then having done that, we can also do single-tenant private cloud on AWS as well. We use a combination. We also use a company called OVH who is one of Europes largest hosting companies. We use them for some solutions and AWS for others.

Florian: Tech only versus tech and services, let us go back to this age-old question. You are very firmly on the tech only side. Makes sense, makes a lot of conversations with investors also easier when you do not mix the two, but would you see any kind of scenario where it would make sense for a service provider to pursue a path of developing all of the technology in-house?

Bob: Transperfect has done that, havent they? They have done that very successfully. However, from our point of view and what we hear very loud and very clear from our customers is they would prefer to have a vendor-neutral technology so that they can then pick and choose which LSP they use and they can evaluate one against the other. The point is also that the enterprise controls its own assets. They are reducing or mitigating the risk to their assets, to their IP, because essentially the translation memory, all the content is their IP. We feel that a lot of companies want to control that very closely.

Esther: When you are thinking about what is important to clients, how do you prioritize things like feature requests, how do you balance out customization versus the general progress of the product? What takes precedence?

Bob: That is a pretty tough situation I am sure all tech providers face, we have. Our product manager Sarah has something called a product board where she gets all the feedback from our customers and we enter all these things on there. We have internal items that we want to do as well because things need to be updated or we have our own strategic direction that we want to go in. They will get put on the product board and then we have a meeting and we discuss what we can squeeze into because we do four releases a year and how we partition those items into each release.

Right now we are just about to release a new feature on our website based on the product board that will allow our key clients to go in and they will be able to see what we have released, what we have lined up for our next release, and they will be able to see or create requests for new items or vote on existing items that are already there. It is a more interactive way for customers to be able to see what we are doing and participate in the whole roadmap. You have to have a balance but at the same time, we like to stay responsive to our customers claims. We would love to be able to sell XTM and show it to the customer and they say, yeah, that is perfect, just what I wanted, thank you. Inevitably they say, yeah, that is great but we wanted to do XYZ and so we are responsive to that and try to help them achieve their goals.

Florian: The dynamics of where they are in the localization maturity level, can you speak a little bit to that? When some clients are far ahead, they have internal localization teams, they have a lot of it figured out as opposed to maybe, companies that are in an earlier stage. Is that a dynamic that is very important to you or it does not really matter in day to day?

Bob: I think there are two different types of customer. The mature customer probably has a TMS already, probably has a translation or localization department with a head. With their existing TMS, they may be coming up against some kind of limitation on that or some issue that they are looking at alternatives. For us, we love those kinds of customers because they know what they want and we can usually help them very well. On the more greenfield site where they do not have a TMS and they are probably less experienced in the whole process, that scenario we are increasingly targeting because we can see that it is a huge area that we have not really focused on a lot in the past, but certainly in our plans for the future. That is an area where we want to tackle more seriously.

Florian: You have some LSP clients, but as you mentioned, the focus really is on the enterprise. What is the dynamics there?

Bob: LSPs know what they want, they know their business so from that respect it is good. There is a bit of a challenge with LSPs in that they have to be able to process anything their customer asks them. Whereas an enterprise generally has a more consistent flow of translation tasks because they have a standard production workflow but having said that, XTM is a very flexible agile tool and so can easily be adapted to all the requirements that an LSP would need.

Esther: What is your view on how machine translation is shaping TMS development generally, and also, what do you perceive to be the natural limits of the integration between MT and TMS if there are any?

Bob: Machine translation is having a profound effect on the whole production cycle. There is far more machine translation going on now than there was last year or the year before so what is happening is that we need to adapt XTM or our TMS to be able to accommodate that. In order to do that we have recently, for example, added the ability to calculate the cost based on edit distance. What has a post editor actually had to do to bring the machine translation up to an acceptable standard? This is the edit distance, hence this is the cost. That change that we have had to make in order to accommodate it. How far will it go? It is a tough question. I am sure we have not reached the limits of machine translation yet. Some of the machine translation suppliers are now using translation memory in real-time to enhance their matches so there are lots of tricks that can still be done to improve it.

Florian: You said the ability to calculate costs based on the edit distance. Is that post or before? How does that work?

Bob: You would have to calculate the cost after the editing has been done, but, historically you would calculate the cost based on the number of words or some kind of algorithm based around the words. Now, when you are principally dealing with post-editing, how many words is not a relevant thing. You can work on time. You can base it on how long the post editor has had to spend on this task, or how many characters have had to be changed within this particular segment of text.

Florian: The industry has gone through this super challenging year. Generally, I think it was a positive year, given the circumstances. What is your outlook for the next three to five years? You have an outside partner now, you can ramp up investing in all kinds of areas so where are you going to deploy some of that capital? What are your priorities in terms of growth?

Bob: From our point of view we see the market continuing to grow. We see XTM in an ideal position, we have got a great product, great team, but at the moment we are just scratching the surface of many markets. We have a very wide cross-section of verticals from tech companies to construction, to retail, through life sciences to LSPs. We have a very wide cross-section of companies, but realistically, there are a hundred more out there where we have one market leader, we could be selling to a hundred. From our point of view, there is great potential. K1 recognized that XTM is a market leader in this respect and they will support us to capitalize on that potential.

Florian: When we talk to people offline, I am sensing a lot of buzz, I am sensing a lot of optimism generally, which is a bit different from a little bit of the MT panic of 2017, 2018.

Bob: There was definite panic thinking this is the end of the translation industry as we know it today. Whereas now you just have to accept that things evolve and MT is another tool and we have got to make the most use of it we can and just provide a better service. The volume of translation just goes up. The better tools you have, the more translation you can do.

XTM CEO Bob Willans on Raising Capital and the Future of Translation Pricing - Slator

In the interconnected supply chain world, its probably no surprise that the pandemic-fueled e-commerce boom in the U.S. has roiled the transportation market as well, leading to a surge in parcel volumes, a tightening in truck capacity, and rising package rates, to name just a few of the effects.

Add it all up, and those changes are causing serious supply chain headaches for companies struggling to stay afloat in a competitive retail marketplace. In search of relief, many shippers are turning to an increasingly diverse range of carriers, utilizing small regional firms to supplement the big three parcel carriersUPS Inc., FedEx Corp., and the U.S. Postal Service.

That approach can help, but it also adds new layers of complexity to the already challenging task of tracking individual parcels across multiple modes, carriers, intermediaries, and sortation centers.

In response, developers of transportation management systems (TMS) are rolling out new capabilities designed to help users navigate those challenges, insiders say. These new software capabilities are centered on data digitalization and increased real-time trackingwhich some call visibility on steroids.

Taken together, those advancements can help users trim delivery costs while continuing to meet escalating demandswhether from consumers whove come to expect Amazon-level next-day delivery service or retailer customers like Walmart that will tolerate nothing less than on-time/in-full (OTIF) shipments from suppliers.

TMS developers say the key to managing those challenges is improved visibility, which is built by collecting data at every step of the transportation and delivery processtypically through tools like electronic logging devices (ELDs) on trucks, internet of things (IoT) sensors on pallets, and digitalized paperwork such as bills of lading.

Amazon has changed the way we all expect [logistics]to be done,says Dan Clark, founder of TMS developer Kuebix and vice president of product innovation and strategy for Trimble Inc.,which acquired Kuebix in 2020.A lot of money has been invested in visibility in recent years, and now weve got to put visibility on steroids to meet what customers expect to happen.

That visibility is key to allowing shippers to deploy their TMS platforms in new ways, like tracking freight across multiple modes, building application programming interfaces (APIs) with regional parcel carriers, or consolidating packages for delivery to a carriers regional hub as part of a zone-skipping strategy, says Mike Doyle, Kuebixs vice president of product management.

Its a game of transparency and visibility today, adds Clark. So, a TMS goes beyond the definition of just managing transportation and becomes a network TMS that connects to everything and everyone.

A key consideration in building that network is choosing a TMS thats offered on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis and operates in the cloud, as opposed to running on servers located on the shippers premises.Thats because cloud-based platforms can automatically pull data from disparate sources and then analyze it, all while running the latest software version available. In addition, SaaS platforms essentially democratize the software, making it available to small and medium-sized businesses that havent traditionally used a TMS because they were priced out of the market, Clark says. With the SaaS model, they can also choose only those micro-services they need, instead of paying for the whole package, he adds.

Going with a cloud-based TMS that automatically collects data from ELDs and other sources is also a critical step toward digitalizing the mountains of data generated in transportation operations and automating processes to improve precision and efficiency, says Daragh Mahon, chief information officer of Werner Enterprises Inc., a transportation and logistics service provider that recently adopted a new TMS.

In November, Werner said it had made an investment in Mastery Logistics Systems Inc. and would adopt its MasterMind TMS. Mastery is the software startup created by former Coyote Logistics CEO and co-founder Jeff Silver, who sold Coyote to UPS Inc. in 2015 and founded his new firm in 2019 with a focus on cloud-based collaborative platforms.

Among other advantages, connected, cloud-based TMS systems can boost communication throughout the transportation sector. In Werners case, the company can use ELDs, IoT sensors, and telematic devices to collect information that can potentially be parlayed into operating improvements. Through its new deal with Mastery, the company plans to tap that potential and leverage new benefits.

There are 80 to 120 pieces of data we can create every second, from temperature to oil pressure to speedsome are for safety, some are for maintenance, Mahon says. Were collecting it, but were not using it to the fullest extent. Theres a ton of opportunity there that the industry hasnt explored yet.

Although carriers have been working for years to connect disparate systems and automate manual processes, the Covid-19 pandemic has jumpstarted those efforts, forcing through a lot of change thats long been needed in the transportation sector, according to Mastery CEO Jeff Silver.

Theres so much unnecessary work, Silver says. How much time has been wasted when people print out bills of lading, drivers carry them across the country, and then copy and scan them? It is an idiotic amount of absolutely no-value work thats been happening since 1984, when I got into this business.

But new solutions are now coming into focus, thanks to TMS systems that enable instant connections with ELDs and APIs, supporting improved communication, automation, and other advances throughout the transportation sector. TMSs that dont provide that flexibility will be crippling, Silver says.

Today, TMS platforms are evolving far beyond their roots in carrier selection and routing to essentially become advanced communication hubs. Cloud-based systems can now provide both connectivity and visibility throughout far-flung networks. That combination is empowering even small companies to leverage next-generation TMS tools to solve some of the thorniest problems of the e-commerce age.

Reimagining the TMS for the age of e-commerce - DC Velocity

The market to link core logistics data and systems to trade finance options for shippers is growing, primarily as a way to avoid the letter of credit process. Photo credit: Shutterstock.com.

Global transportation management software (TMS) provider BuyCo has landed an investment from French financial services group ODDO BHF that will also entail the two entities developing trade finance products for BuyCos shipper customers.

Terms of the investment were not disclosed, but BuyCo said the funding from ODDO, announced Monday, brings the total investment into the Marseille-based software provider to 6.5 million euros (US $7.9 million) since its founding in 2015.

BuyCo offers a cloud-based TMS that allows shippers to plan, book, and monitor international container shipments while coordinating activities with suppliers, customers, container lines, and forwarders. Shippers in nearly 60 countries including drink maker AB Inbev, French mining company Eramet, fruit grower Blue Whale, and food manufacturer Andros use the platform to manage a collective 300,000 containers annually.

The company will use the investment from ODDO to grow its team this year by about 20 percent, to 50 employees, as well as link BuyCos shipment execution capabilities with financing options from ODDOs international banking unit, BuyCo CEO Carl Lauron said in a statement.

Lauron noted that banks responsible for underwriting the financing of goods in transit rely on documents produced and submitted by logistics practitioners to make risk determinations. Because those documents are submitted in different formats and often submitted offline, this can result in financing decisions that delay payment to cash-hungry suppliers as banks make those determinations.

Our goal is to get the players in the physical and financial supply chains to work together to make this documentation consistent from the start, he said.

BuyCo and ODDO intend to focus on improving the current process of issuing letters of credit, a financing instrument that accounts for a significant portion of global trade.

Florian Witt, divisional head of international banking at ODDO, said the goal of the investment and product development with BuyCo is to offer our clients a collaborative platform solution where logistics and financing of a transaction go hand in hand, he said in the statement.

The collaboration between BuyCo and ODDO is part of a broader trend of linking logistics systems and data to trade finance products, primarily designed to alleviate the container shipping industrys reliance on letters of credit.

The thinking behind these tools is that entities that either can provide detailed historical and real-time information about the condition and whereabouts of shipments to financiers can help suppliers get access to capital outside the letter of credit process. Theoretically, that information reduces risk for the financier or enables software providers, container lines, or logistics service providers to act as a financing layer between the bank and the exporter.

As decreed by the anime council of power, today (and every Friday for the foreseeable future) is Jujutsu Kaisen Friday. To celebrate the continuation of the first season, all the nominations in the Anime Awards, and the fact that the series kicks all sorts of cursed ass, I had a chance to figuratively sit down and chat with some of the voice actors from the dub!

But sadly, this is the last cursed finger thats left in our interview series. Lets rip our uniform tops off for dramatic effect.

Before we get to the final interview, be sure to check out the Kaiji Tang (Gojo), Adam McArthur (Yuji), and Anne Yatco (Nobara) interviews. Also, be sure to watch Jujutsu Kaisen over at Crunchyroll.

This week I took a deep breath and boldly approached Ray Chase, the voice of the King of Curses himself, Ryomen Sukuna.

I want to note that I did, in fact, live to tell the tale of having a conversation with someone who smiles while ripping out their own heart (or rather, the heart of the body hes inhabiting). Ray Chase has an impressive portfolio of roles that range from anime, to video games (such as Noctis from Final Fantasy XV), and Western animation (such as Etrigan from the Justice League Darkanimated movies).

TMS: You are certainly no stranger to voice acting. What inspired you to get into voice acting work?

When I was a little kid, our dad would tell us silly stories to go to sleep, and he always did tons of crazy voices and bonkers characters. So from an early age, I was imitating him, and playing around with what my voice could do. When I got into acting around middle school, I always came up with interesting voices first! So when it came time to do a career voice acting was something I had been unintentionally practicing for most of my life!

TMS: Congratulations are in order because I see that Jujutsu Kaisen is up for a couple of awards at Crunchyrolls Anime Awards, including Sukuna being up for best antagonist! Its kinda intriguing to watch an antagonist from inside the protagonist, especially one who relishes in his evilness to the point of mistreating the person whose body hes inhabiting. How did you prepare to take on this kind of villain?

I love that the two characters share a body, and that our voice prints are so different. Sukuna has such a different view of pain, power, life, than Itadori, as he has existed for more than one thousand years. Its a kind of maturity that allows the villain to mistreat the hero in so many ways, but there seems to be at times not a real menace behind it. Toying with Itadori seems more interesting to Sukuna at times than actually getting things done. I prepared for the role by watching the series!

TMS: Come on, level with me, would a fully powered Sukuna beat Gojo? Thats up for best fight at Crunchyrolls Anime Awards, too, and Sukuna didnt do so hot. Would he actually beat Gojo at his max level?

I think because this is not Gojos story, it would be best for Sukuna to beat Gojo, and then that gives Itadori the power to defeat Sukuna, maybe within his own mind palace!

TMS: If you werent acting, what would you be doing career-wise right now?

Honestly, I have no idea! I guess I do a lot of producing on the side, so maybe something like that? Maybe Id just run a dog adoption clinic.

TMS:Why out of all things guess we have to do this now:

via GIPHY

TMS:SUKUNA WOULD AND YOU KNOW IT!

via GIPHY

TMS: Its your day off and youve got nothing but time, what are you doing with your day?

Easy getting caught up on my video game backlog. Im currently working through Hades, trying to get to 20 heat on every weapon. Thats a time commitment!

TMS: I do a weekly series called Weekly Anime Round-up for The Mary Sue where I talk about all the series Im watching. Whats on your watchlist right now? Any series youre looking forward to this year?

Right now Im actually working my way through One Piece. Sungwon Cho recommended it to me a while back and I finally got into it last year. I dont know if Ill ever catch up to where it is now but it is a really rewarding show! I also hope that this year we get a confirmation that theyre working on the next JoJo part its been too long a wait!

TMS: Anything you wanna let the Jujutsu Kaisen fans (or fans of you in general) know?

Dont eat any fingers you find or you might find yourself starring in an anime one day!

Thank you for following along with ourJujutsu Kaiseninterview series! We definitely hope to do more anime interviews in the future!

Jujutsu Kaisen Chat With Ray Chase, Voice of Sukuna - The Mary Sue

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Emerging Neuromodulation Technologies Enabling Growth Opportunities in Mental Health Care" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The treatment of mental health disorders using pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy are plagued with limitations such as therapy-related adverse effects, and inability to provide effective remission. This has driven the use of neuromodulation techniques for managing these conditions. However, these traditional neuromodulation therapies have their share of drawbacks including invasive profile and therapy-related complications, that have necessitated the development of novel neuromodulation methods that can provide effective relief from mental disorders for the patients, while at the same time are non-invasive, safe, and tolerable.

This growth opportunity-technology (GO-TE) report highlights the innovations in non-invasive neuromodulation technologies being implemented for treating mental health conditions, including transcranial electrical stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, cranial electrotherapy stimulation and other therapies such as transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation, trigeminal nerve stimulation, and multi-channel simultaneous stimulation.

As the supply chain increasingly moves toward greater interconnectedness and visibility between carriers, brokers, and shippers, EKA Solutions said 2021 has already started out strong with adoption of its cloud-based integrated freight management ecosystem.

EKA Omni-TMS for carriers is a transportation management system designed to give small and medium-size carriers the ability to compete with large fleets.

"In just three months, a rapidly increasing number of small carriers have adopted the EKA Omni-TMS, empowering these companies to tech up for the future, said J.J. Singh, founder and CEO, in a news release.

He told HDT that at least 33% new customer growth expected in the first quarter of this year compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

EKAs goal was to target a diverse group of small-fleet customers for its TMS, typically those operating 30 trucks or less. Rapid acceptance confirms our market assumptions were correct, which is very gratifying, Singh told HDT.

These customers cover a diverse range of businesses, he said, including long haul, medium and short haul freight, using all classes of trucks, and with equipment including dry van, temperature-controlled, flatbed, bulk and livestock.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected its business in the first half of 2020, Singh said things turned positive in the second half of the year as the economy and freight business environment improved.

This year, EKA is targeting an exponential growth in revenue, Singh said. All of its TMS and visibility products are being continually enhanced, he said, and EKA will introduce Shipper TMS for small- and medium-size shippers in 2021.

Also, in 2021, EKA will integrate its supply chain TMS with third-party services to deliver key services at affordable prices to small and medium size carrier, broker and shipper customers.

EKA TMS is helping small carriers transport all types of commodities, enabling them to handle different customer pricing methods, fluidly pay drivers and settle with owner-operators, and provide complete freight movement visibility to their customers and trusted partners at affordable technology stack and operating costs, said EKA President Mark Walker in the news release.
