Earnix, the market-leading provider of mission-critical cloud-based intelligent real-time, dynamic pricing and rating solutions for insurers and banks, announced it is appointing insurance and fintech industry veteran, Robin Gilthorpe, as its new Chief Executive Officer effective February 1, 2023. Mr. Gilthorpe will be taking over the helm from Mr. Udi Ziv, who served as the company’s CEO over the past six years.

Robin Gilthorpe, a veteran of the finance and insurance industries, brings to the role over 25 years of experience as a successful business leader. Throughout his career, Mr. Gilthorpe has held numerous executive leadership roles at leading technology and insurance companies such as TIBCO, Vertexone, Watersmart Software, DataSynapse and ESW Capital. In his most recent role at Insurtech innovator Salty, Gilthorpe served as Chief Operating Officer, generating a nine-figure outcome in sale to CDK Global.

“I am thrilled to be joining Earnix at this crucial time in the global economy,” said Robin Gilthrope, incoming CEO at Earnix. “Financial services companies across the globe are seeking intelligent operations to ensure they can offer real-time, dynamic solutions, to better serve customers, enabling them to be more agile, nimble, attentive, and responsive. Today’s end-customer demands unparalleled experience, alongside highly personalized and customizable solutions. Earnix solutions serve as the go-to platform for financial services companies to address the growing demands of the world’s leading financial and insurance companies.”

His hiring comes on the heels of a period of growth for Earnix led by exiting CEO Udi Ziv. Mr. Ziv joined Earnix in 2017 and in his six years with the firm has led the company to consistent growth, achieving Unicorn status and important strategic alliances including forging the recently announced strategic partnership with Guidewire as well as engagements with USAA, MAPFRE, IAG, Liberty Mutual, US Bank, Lloyd’s Banking Group, and many more. Mr. Ziv built a strong team of leaders positioned to drive the company’s continued growth. Udi will serve as one of the industry experts on the Earnix Board of directors.

“We are proud to welcome Robin to the Earnix family, and believe that his experience in building global, international companies, alongside the growing demand for Earnix’s suite of real-time, dynamic, composable Intelligent InsurOps solutions, will lead Earnix to significant growth over the next few years, and bring Earnix to international market leadership, with its real-time operation platform for the largest insurance companies and banking institutions,” said Erel Margalit, JVP Founder & Executive Chairman and Earnix’s Chairman of the Board, “We want to thank Udi for his important role, over the last few years. With its growing presence in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Israel, Earnix will continue to strive to become the category leader, in the real-time AI usage-based insurance and banking industry.”

“I’ve very much enjoyed my tenure at Earnix, leading the company to consistent year over year growth, and strongly believe in our people and products as a change agent for financial services companies,” Udi Ziv, exiting CEO, Earnix, said. “I believe now is the time to move on to my next endeavor as the company prepares for its next stage of international expansion. I firmly believe I am leaving the company in very capable hands with Robin and expect that the company will continue the rapid global growth Earnix has experienced in the last few years.”

Maergo and Shipium Partner to Provide Fast and Accurate Shipping to E-commerce Retailers

The two technology providers announce partnership to help improve delivery speed and accuracy for retailers at a critical moment in the industry

Maergo, one of the fastest growing leaders in logistics and technology, today announced a partnership with Shipium, the premier shipping platform for e-commerce retailers.

Maergo is a leader in providing 2-3 day package shipping by continuously optimizing parcel delivery from order to destination through its multi-modal network. Top-selling e-commerce retailers love Maergo’s delivery speed combined with competitive pricing and structural advantages.

Shipium helps those same retailers address “the Prime problem” by modernizing their shipping software stack. Customers turn to Shipium when new initiatives highlight how their existing legacy tech is an anchor on business change. Typically goals relating to e-commerce competitiveness—like adding a customer-facing delivery promise, improving delivery accuracy, or dramatically reducing shipping costs—are the situations Shipium helps best.

When progressive companies like Maergo and Shipium partner, the results speak for themselves. Retailers who use both firms have seen their shipping costs reduced an average of 19%. Meanwhile, both delivery speed and accuracy are improved by more volume going towards Maergo’s consistent 2–3 day service.

The key to these improved outcomes is moving quickly towards a multi-carrier strategy. Retailers who are stuck with legacy shipping solutions experience poor time-to-value getting progressive carriers like Maergo up and running across their network. It’s usually an expensive service order put into a queue that can take months to get completed—per warehouse. With Shipium, it’s a simple afternoon activity to enable Maergo across a retailer’s entire network. Shipium sees customers start with an average of 1.2 carriers and move to an average of 6.4 carriers in a single quarter, all for free.

“We provide a compelling service that helps retailers modernize their delivery experience to consumers. Shipium makes network changes immediate, solving the time-to-value problem that other shipping systems create. Our customers are happier using Shipium with Maergo,” said Peter Sheldon, SVP of Strategy and Growth of Maergo.

“It’s essential that the most important retailers diversify their carriers away from a single-source strategy. It’s the only way to pull in progressive partners like Maergo, who are the real unlock to competing in today’s competitive e-commerce landscape. We’re excited to help bring Maergo’s leading service to the industry when they need it most,” said Jason Murray, CEO of Shipium.

VDL Enabling Technologies Group Chooses Infor for ERP Modernization

Scalability through digitization with Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise

Infor, the industry cloud company, today announced that VDL Enabling Technologies Group (ETG) of Eindhoven, The Netherlands, is deploying Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise to modernize its enterprise resource planning (ERP) Baan solution. Infor is supporting VDL ETG with this move to the cloud and the realization of its “digital factory” vision.

VDL ETG will use Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise for ERP rollout in this high-tech cluster of VDL Groep. VDL ETG’s responsibilities include producing modules of microchip machines for customers in the semiconductor industry. This move will bring the core production processes, financial and business administration, and various other components to the cloud. The implementation of Infor’s cloud ERP solution will shape the intended digital transformation, further automation of processes, and improved real-time information provision. With this, VDL ETG expects to optimize production quality, efficiency and scalability of operational processes.

The deployment of Infor CloudSuite is necessary because there are many rapid developments in the field of semiconductor equipment manufacturing, which also often involve complex configurations. In addition, the demand for chips continues to skyrocket. Infor’s solution improves the manufacturing process, increases efficiency and reduces risk in the supply chain through improved visibility and control. Infor makes it possible to modernize the ERP environment and shape all core components in VDL ETG’s production process in a single integrated architecture. This facilitates VDL ETG’s “digital factory” vision. The implementation of Infor CloudSuite will be carried out in cooperation with implementation partner Merino Consulting Services.

Minimal risk, maximum possibilities
“We were working with a Baan system. Because Baan was merged into Infor and Infor offers a good fit with our business processes, the choice was logical and we were able to avoid a big-bang switch,” explains Charel van Hoof, digital transformation executive at VDL ETG. “We are switching ‘horizontally’ so that the processes and, for example, code numbers remain recognizable for people. So digital transformation in small, clear parts of our systems each time. The big advantage for us is that many features are integrated into Infor’s CloudSuite. We used to develop many partial applications ourselves. Now that is no longer necessary. Minimal change management and therefore minimal risk, but maximum features and possibilities.”

Growth and scalability
Hein Kivits, Infor’s country manager for the Benelux region, said, “Infor CloudSuite is particularly well suited for deployment at VDL ETG because it is precisely designed to facilitate these types of high-tech industrial companies in their digital transformation and improving their business processes. It enables growth and scalability and facilitates continuous innovation, which is important for the future-proofing of companies like VDL ETG, in a market where a lot is happening. The solution’s rich standard functionality combined with the unburdening that Infor’s software-as-a-service CloudSuite offers means that VDL ETG can focus primarily on its intended business transformation and making operational processes more efficient.”

Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise
Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise is a modern ERP solution designed specifically for industrial manufacturers to make business processes more efficient and productive. The software provides in-depth, proven capabilities to help companies meet customer demands, maintain employee productivity and get products to market as quickly as possible. Delivered as software-as-a-service in the cloud, CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise offers best practice industry functionality as well as benefits including cost efficiency and scalability, state-of-the-art security and continuous innovation, making costly ERP upgrades a thing of the past.
