RFID Readiness for Peak Season: What Logistics Leaders Need to Know in 2026

Key Takeaways A study conducted by Auburn University and GS1 US found that RFID-enabled order processing achieved 99.9 percent accuracy, compared to significant error rates in traditional processes.

Most of the time, they barely get a second thought. That changes quickly when something goes wrong. Talk to a plant manager dealing with a mislabeled shipment or a procurement team scrambling to locate inventory that was supposed to be in a specific location, and it becomes clear how important labeling really is.

Non-Profit Cybersecurity: Doing More With Less, Securely

Key Takeaways Non-profits are prime targets for cybercriminals due to the sensitive data they hold. Limited budgets don't have to mean weak security. Cloud tools, MFA, and staff training offer strong protection at a low cost. Managed IT and Cybersecurity Services can support organizations without dedicated IT teams. Protecting your data also protects donor trust and your mission. Your Mission Is Priceless. Your Data Is, Too. Picture this: Jane runs a mid-sized food bank. Her [...]

Think about this scenario: a bank teller prints off some customer documents before closing. The printer is close by, in fact, it's just down the hall. But by the time you walk over to pick them up, the papers are already in the output tray. Anyone walking by that printer would be able to see them. Nothing was hacked, and no system failed. But the customer's sensitive information was open for all to see. This [...]

Backfile Scanning: When, Why, and How to Tackle Large-Scale Digitization Projects

Walk into almost any office that has been around for more than a decade, and you'll find the same scene: filing cabinets lining the walls, a storage room no one wants to deal with, and boxes of documents that feel too important to shred but too buried to use.
