ThroughPut.AI Unveils AI-powered Inventory Management Capabilities to Free-up Working Capital, Grow Revenue, and Expand Margins
Revolutionary AI-based Supply Chain Decision Intelligence platform launches new inventory capabilities to identify and quantify working capital savings, while predicting and recommending opportunities to accelerate revenue and profitability
PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ThroughPut Inc., the Gartner-recognized Industrial AI Supply Chain Analytics and Decision Intelligence pioneer, today announced the launch of new inventory management capabilities that empower businesses to drive higher profitability through powerful working capital spend projections, real-time inventory predictions, and dynamic rebalancing and replenishment recommendations.
The current release enables advanced visibility and actionability for businesses to manage their inventory and material movements across all their SKU’s, customers, locations, and supply chain end-points. As a result, they can increase inventory turns, ensure rapid availability of fast-moving products, and reduce safety stock and carrying costs. With these new capabilities, businesses now have the unprecedented availability to unlock capital, improve operational efficiencies, and boost margins. By leveraging ThroughPut’s patented, award-winning AI and Machine Learning supply chain decision intelligence platform on top of their existing diverse data systems, organizations of all types can rapidly pinpoint where capital allocation is insufficient, predict outcomes, and make recommendations enabling them to accelerate goods movement, revenue, and margins.
“ThroughPut.AI’s enhanced working capital management capabilities show our customers where their excess working capital lies, where their operations are underfunded, and projects how these gaps should best be optimized,” explains Seth Page, Chief Operations Officer and Head of Strategic Partnerships at ThroughPut.AI. “With advanced AI algorithms optimizing operations for financial analytics, insights, decision intelligence, and recommendations, we enable organizations to plan the best scenario for inventory spend down to the per SKU, per route, per location, per source, levels, so that they may cater to true demand at all times, whether sudden, seasonal, cyclical, or previously “unpredictable.” You can better analyze, predict and prepare for all these situations and many more by leveraging your existing diverse data systems with operational AI to achieve greater financial results.”
The new release focuses strongly on the following capabilities:
- Projecting Working Capital Spend Optimization: Leverage powerful algorithms to identify when and where capital is unnecessarily tied-up, or where it needs to be supplemented to optimize flow of goods, cash, and profits.
- Reducing Spend and Identifying Savings Opportunities: Identify specific SKUs on which spend can be safely reduced to enhance cost savings without compromising on product quality or service levels.
- AI-powered Predictive Analytics: Get actionable insights, predictions and recommendations – on everything from inventory turnover rates to potential stockouts – to make proactive informed decisions that optimize inventory performance.
- Advanced Demand Sensing: Move beyond traditional demand forecasting with stale assumptions and old data, and enable more accurate dynamic demand sensing to rapidly respond to shifts in market trends and customer priorities.
With ThroughPut’s latest release, businesses can rapidly segment their product portfolios, identify their best and worst performing products, adapt their product mix to prioritize fast-moving goods with higher contribution margins, and ensure the greater flow of goods, material, and cash.

Notabene Raises $14.5M in Series B Funding Led by DRW VC to Drive the Future of Stablecoins and Payments
The rapid adoption of Notabene’s crypto payment authorization network, which has seen transaction volumes surge 10X in the past year, reflects the growing demand for compliant crypto payment solutions. This Series B round will help Notabene bring secure, transparent, and compliant crypto payments to more financial institutions, paving the way for stablecoins to revolutionize global finance.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Notabene, a leading provider of cryptocurrency compliance solutions, today announced it has raised $14.5 million in a Series B funding round led by DRW VC, with participation from funds managed by Apollo, NextBlock, ParaFi Capital, and Wintermute, along with existing investors CMT Digital, F-Prime, Green Visor Capital, Illuminate Financial, Jump Capital, Signature Ventures, and Y Combinator. The funding will accelerate Notabene’s mission to make crypto payments a part of the everyday global economy by fostering open, secure, and compliant transactions.
Regulators now require crypto companies such as exchanges, wallet providers, and payment processors to securely exchange information about sender and receiver, just like they already do in traditional payments. This so-called Travel Rule is now a requirement in most global financial centers.
Having already helped process half a trillion dollars worth of transactions, Notabene is the leading global platform and network for compliant crypto payments. By automating the secure transfer of sensitive data between institutions, Notabene simplifies this complex process that is virtually impossible for companies to implement independently.
Kimberly Trautmann, Partner and Head of DRW VC, the round’s lead investor, emphasized the significance of Notabene’s work in this emerging financial ecosystem:
“Notabene offers a comprehensive and efficient way to track and disclose who an asset is being sent to, which is critical for those who facilitate the exchange, transfer, safekeeping, and administration of virtual assets (Virtual Asset Service Partners or VASPs) and need to be compliant with the Travel Rule. We believe Notabene is positioned to be the provider-of-choice, as it allows users to achieve real-time compliance, is protocol agnostic and does not require exposing sensitive information to other market participants.”
Notabene is expanding its focus to support the growing number of traditional financial institutions moving into digital payments. With over $20T in stablecoin transactions processed last year, global adoption is on the rise and poised to be crypto’s long-awaited killer use case. The key to unlocking stablecoins’ potential as fast, low-cost, borderless payments is a secure and transparent system – one that’s open and not controlled by any single entity. Notabene offers the essential infrastructure for compliance, reconciliation, and safety, enabling open, interoperable payment networks that will drive the next wave of adoption.
Notabene’s CEO, Pelle Brændgaard, underscores the company’s vision for the future of payments:
“We’ve already established ourselves as a pioneer in Travel Rule compliance, and now, as regulatory clarity grows and adoption scales, we are positioned to do the same for payments. By enabling secure, compliant, and open digital asset transactions, we’re helping shape the next generation of global financial infrastructure. Our philosophy of building open networks to maximize reachability between transacting counterparties will be a key driver of adoption with both crypto-native organizations, as well as incumbent players in traditional finance that are showing an increased interest in digital assets and blockchain payment solutions.”
Notabene’s platform has seen a rapid 10x increase in transaction volumes over the past year, totaling nearly $500 billion in transaction volume—solidifying the company’s role as a trusted provider in the compliance space. With over 165 companies using the platform, including some of the largest virtual asset service providers (VASPs) globally such as Copper, Crypto.com, OKX, and Ramp, as well as working relationships with regulatory bodies across hundreds of global jurisdictions, Notabene has built the largest network of transacting counterparties in the market today.
Alexander Ross, General Partner, Head of NYC for investor Illuminate Financial, added:
“As the existing market leader for Travel Rule compliance, we believe Notabene has the potential to become the “SWIFT network for blockchain transactions.” There is a desperate need for a secure network to share all transaction metadata. This will enable compliance with global regulations and is a key pillar to unlocking mass adoption of stablecoins for payments. We have been working with the founders since 2021 and believe they are the best positioned to execute this vision.”
With this raise, Notabene is set to continue its mission to bring crypto and stablecoins into everyday global payments. It will help grow the industry’s only open compliant payments network to support more use cases and new market entrants.
“With $20 trillion in stablecoin transactions processed last year, stablecoins are emerging as the preferred method for fast, low-cost global payments,” said Pelle Brændgaard, Notabene CEO. “As regulatory clarity expands, traditional financial institutions are beginning to recognize stablecoins’ potential. Notabene’s role as a trusted compliance provider is critical to unlocking this potential and establishing stablecoins as a legitimate payment medium worldwide.”
About Notabene
Notabene is the leading crypto payment authorization network, enabling secure, transparent, and compliant transactions for financial institutions around the world. With a platform that facilitates transactions in over 80 jurisdictions, supports over 165 companies, and has processed half a trillion dollars in transaction volume, Notabene is setting the standard for compliant transactions in the digital asset space.

Bluestream OÜ Launches Three Comprehensive Loan Comparison Websites
TALLINN, Estonia, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bluestream OÜ, a quickly expanding digital finance company, is proud to announce the launch of three loan comparison websites aimed at simplifying the loan search process for Finnish consumers. The recently introduced platforms – “Laina heti”, “Luotto”, and “Lainojen yhdistäminen” – are designed to provide transparent, easy-to-understand and reliable financing comparison services designed to meet the diverse financial needs of consumers across Finland.
Laina heti: Speed and Simplicity for Urgent Loans
One of the three platforms, Laina Heti focuses on helping users find fast and convenient loans. This website caters to individuals who require quick access to funds for emergency expenses, unexpected bills or time-sensitive purchases. The design of the website emphasizes simplicity and efficiency, providing users with comparisons of short-term loan offers, including payday loans and other fast financial products.
Luotto: Comprehensive Loan Solutions for All Borrowers
The second platform, Luotto, is the company’s comprehensive comparison website for personal loans. Unlike Laina heti, which focuses on immediate and short-term needs, Luotto is designed to serve consumers seeking more substantial loans for a wider range of financial purposes. Whether it’s for a new car or home renovations, the website provides users with a detailed comparison of various loan options offered by banks, credit institutions, and other lenders across Finland.
Lainojen yhdistäminen: Simplifying Debt Consolidation for Finnish Consumers
The third and final platform, Lainojen yhdistäminen specifically targets consumers looking to consolidate several loans into a single, more manageable monthly payment. For many individuals facing the challenge of managing several loans at once – such as personal loans, credit card debt, or payday loans – loan consolidation can be an effective way to reduce financial stress, improve budgeting and potentially lower the total cost of borrowing.
“With Laina Heti, Luotto and Lainojen Yhdistäminen, we wanted to make it easier for consumers to access quick loans, personal loans and debt consolidation loans without getting bogged down in complex procedures. It’s all about making sure people have the information they need at their fingertips when they need it most,” said a representative for Bluestream OÜ.
About Bluestream OÜ
Bluestream OÜ is a digital finance company based in Tallinn, Estonia. The company specializes in creating financial comparison tools that provide consumers with transparent and comprehensive information to help them make informed financial decisions.
