London, England, July 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

The next-generation EPOS, payments and Bitcoin platform taps the Channel 4 “First Dates” mixologist and pub owner to deliver consultative, 24/7 AI-powered sales to merchants – across 30+ languages, positioning Musqet to win in the hospitality, food and beverage sectors.

Musqet, the next-generation payments, Bitcoin and EPOS platform, today announced a partnership with Merlin Griffiths, the Channel 4 “First Dates” mixologist and owner of The Dog & Gun pub in Walton, Leicestershire, to build an AI-powered sales avatar capable of holding real-time, consultative conversations with hospitality and food and beverage merchants. The avatar uses Griffiths’ likeness and voice to guide prospective customers through the EPOS selection process the way a knowledgeable peer would: by understanding how their business actually operates before recommending anything.

The hospitality and F&B EPOS market has run on the same playbook for years. Providers sell the platform, then spend the relationship upselling modules that have nothing to do with how a given venue actually runs. Merchants end up paying monthly for features they never asked for and never use. Musqet is built on a different premise: that an EPOS stack should reflect the merchant’s operation, not a vendor’s revenue targets. The AI avatar puts that principle into practice at the top of the funnel, asking the right questions before making any recommendation – and only surfacing the modules a merchant’s business actually needs.

“Hospitality operators are busy people running tight margins – they don’t have time for a sales process built around a vendor’s commission targets. What we’ve built with Merlin changes that. The avatar asks the right questions first, and only recommends outcomes that solve real problems for the merchant.,” said David Parkinson, Founder and CEO of Musqet.

Familiar to millions through his decade on Channel 4’s “First Dates,” he has also spent years on the other side of hospitality, operating The Dog & Gun pub in Walton, Leicestershire and living the operational realities merchants deal with daily. That combination of public familiarity and credibility in the industry is central to the avatar’s design. Merchants are more likely to be direct about their real needs when the conversation feels like it’s coming from someone who has run a venue himself. Musqet joined Griffiths and the production team in the recording studio to capture his speech mechanics and facial movements for a high-fidelity prototype. Griffiths is also an advocate for Bitcoin as a new asset and monetary vehicle and Musqet CEO, David Parkinson spotted him on ITV’s Saturday Kitchen with a Bitcoin t-shirt, reached out to chat and a mutual alignment of interests led to Merlin becoming immortalised as an AI avatar!

“Anyone who’s actually run a venue knows what it’s like to sit through an EPOS pitch and come out the other side with a monthly bill full of things you never asked for. I’ve been there. The reason I got involved with Musqet is because this is genuinely different – it starts with your operation, not with a product catalogue. If this saves one publican from a contract they regret, it’s worth it,” said Merlin Griffiths.

The avatar operates 24/7 across 30+ languages, removing the scheduling, inconsistency, and cost-scaling constraints that come with a human-only inbound sales function. 

The announcement follows a strong stretch of announcements for Musqet with even more to come. The company recently showcased at Money20/20 Amsterdam alongside Vodafone IoT, and launched its agentic commerce protocol on Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol – milestones that underscore the commercial momentum behind the avatar’s development.

Brandon, MB, Jul 02, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — For many Canadian businesses, dealing with multiple currencies is part of everyday operations. Whether working with US partners, international vendors, or cross-border customers, QuickBooks’ multi-currency feature is often enabled to handle these transactions. While useful in theory, it frequently introduces a level of complexity that can make financial management far more difficult than expected.

Once multi-currency is turned on in QuickBooks, it becomes a permanent feature of the file. Over time, this can lead to complicated account structures, inconsistent exchange rate impacts, and confusion in financial reporting. What begins as a necessary capability can quickly evolve into a source of inefficiency.

One of the most common issues businesses face is reporting accuracy. Exchange rate fluctuations affect accounts in ways that are not always intuitive, leading to discrepancies between expected and actual balances. Profit and loss statements and balance sheets may reflect gains or losses tied to currency changes rather than operational performance, making it harder to interpret financial results clearly.

Reconciliation also becomes more challenging. Matching transactions across currencies requires careful tracking of exchange rates and converted values. Even minor inconsistencies can create time-consuming discrepancies, forcing accounting teams to spend additional hours resolving differences that did not exist in a single-currency environment.

As files grow over time, these complications tend to compound. Historical transactions tied to outdated rates, combined with evolving business needs, can result in a system that feels increasingly difficult to manage. For many companies, the issue is not just complexity—it is reduced confidence in the accuracy and usability of their financial data.

To address this, businesses are turning to specialized solutions designed to simplify or remove multi-currency functionality altogether. These approaches rely on advanced tools and expertise to restructure QuickBooks files while preserving the integrity of financial data. Instead of working around the limitations of multi-currency, the file is optimized to align with the company’s current operational needs.

The result is a cleaner, more streamlined accounting environment. Financial reports become easier to read and interpret, reconciliations are faster and more straightforward, and overall system performance improves. Teams spend less time troubleshooting discrepancies and more time focusing on analysis and decision-making.

For Canadian businesses that no longer require complex multi-currency tracking—or need a simplified structure for better control—this transformation can be significant. By removing unnecessary complexity and restoring clarity, companies regain confidence in their books and efficiency in their workflows.

Multi-currency functionality may be powerful, but it is not always practical for every stage of business. With the right expertise, companies can move from complexity back to clarity, creating a financial system that supports growth rather than slowing it down.

Brandon, MB, Jul 02, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — QuickBooks has undergone significant transformation over the past two decades, evolving from early desktop versions to today’s more complex and integrated platforms. While these advancements have improved functionality and scalability, they have also introduced new layers of complexity when something goes wrong. When a company file becomes corrupted, recovery is no longer a simple technical fix—it requires deep expertise shaped by years of hands-on experience.

Understanding how QuickBooks file structures have changed over time is critical to successful recovery. Earlier versions used simpler database frameworks, while modern versions incorporate more advanced architecture, larger datasets, and multi-user environments. These differences mean that recovery is rarely a one-size-fits-all process. A file created years ago and upgraded multiple times may contain inconsistencies that are invisible to standard tools but critical to accurate restoration.

Real-world recovery cases often reflect this complexity. Corruption can stem from a combination of factors such as system failures, network issues, or long-term file degradation. In many situations, damage is layered, with multiple errors affecting different parts of the file. Successfully repairing these cases requires not only technical skill but also the ability to diagnose underlying issues and apply the appropriate recovery methods without compromising the data further.

This is where experience becomes a decisive advantage. Seasoned technicians bring a level of insight that cannot be replicated by automated tools alone. Having worked across multiple QuickBooks versions and encountered a wide range of corruption scenarios, they understand the nuances of file behavior and the best path to restoration. Their expertise allows them to recover data that might otherwise be considered lost, while preserving accuracy and integrity.

Experience also reduces risk. Inexperienced handling or reliance on generic repair methods can lead to partial recovery, missing transactions, or inaccurate financial records. For businesses, these outcomes can be just as damaging as data loss itself. Working with professionals who have a long track record ensures that the recovery process is controlled, precise, and aligned with real business needs.

Over more than two decades, QBRP has built its reputation on this depth of experience. By continuously adapting to changes in QuickBooks technology and refining its recovery techniques, the company has maintained consistently high success rates. Clients benefit not only from restored access to their data, but also from the confidence that their financial records are complete, correct, and ready for use.

When QuickBooks files fail, the difference between partial results and full recovery often comes down to experience. A long history of solving complex cases brings both technical capability and reliability, giving businesses a clear advantage in protecting their most valuable financial information.

Brandon, MB, Jul 02, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — As businesses expand across borders, accounting systems often need to follow. For companies operating in both the United States and Canada, QuickBooks may seem like a unified solution—but behind the surface, the US and Canadian editions are built differently. These structural differences can create serious challenges when businesses need to move financial data from one region to another.

A QuickBooks file created in the US edition cannot simply be opened in the Canadian version, and vice versa. Each edition is designed to meet country-specific accounting standards, tax systems, and reporting requirements. This includes differences in sales tax handling, payroll structures, currency settings, and financial formatting. As a result, direct compatibility between the two versions does not exist, making file conversion a specialized task rather than a simple transfer.

Many real-world business scenarios require this type of conversion. Companies relocating operations across borders, subsidiaries aligning with a parent company’s accounting system, or organizations consolidating financial data into a single standard platform all face the same challenge. In these situations, maintaining complete and accurate financial records during the transition is essential.

Improper conversion can create significant risks. Data may be lost, misaligned, or incorrectly mapped, leading to inaccurate financial reporting. Tax codes may not translate correctly, and historical transactions can become inconsistent with local compliance requirements. These issues are not always immediately visible but can surface later during audits, filings, or internal reviews, creating costly complications.

This is why businesses turn to specialists like E-Tech, who focus specifically on cross-border QuickBooks conversions. With a deep understanding of both US and Canadian editions, E-Tech ensures that files are not only transferred but properly adapted to the target environment. Their approach accounts for structural differences, preserving data integrity while aligning it with local standards and regulations.

The result is a clean, accurate QuickBooks file that is fully functional in its new edition. Financial data remains intact, reports are reliable, and the file is ready for immediate use without the need for extensive corrections. Businesses can continue operations confidently, knowing their accounting system reflects both accuracy and compliance.

Cross-border growth should not be limited by software barriers. With the right expertise, the gap between QuickBooks editions can be effectively bridged, allowing businesses to move forward with clarity and control.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries across the globe, the investment sector is experiencing a profound transformation. From predictive analytics and algorithmic trading to portfolio optimization and risk management, AI-powered solutions are becoming essential tools for both institutional and individual investors.

Against this backdrop, Global Capital Partners Investments LLC (GCPI) has introduced ProfitPilot AI, an intelligent investment analysis platform designed to help investors make more informed decisions in increasingly complex financial markets.

Led by financial educator and market strategist Howard Martin Smith, the initiative reflects GCPI’s broader vision of combining advanced technology with practical investment insights to support a new generation of investors.

The Growing Role of Artificial Intelligence in Investing

Financial markets generate enormous volumes of data every second. Traditional methods of analysis often struggle to keep pace with the speed and complexity of modern trading environments.

Artificial intelligence offers a powerful solution by processing large datasets, identifying hidden patterns, monitoring market sentiment, and delivering actionable insights in real time. As investors seek greater efficiency and accuracy in decision-making, AI-driven investment tools are rapidly becoming an integral part of modern portfolio management.

ProfitPilot AI was developed to address these challenges by providing intelligent market analysis and data-driven investment support that can help users better understand market opportunities and potential risks.

About Global Capital Partners Investments LLC

Global Capital Partners Investments LLC (GCPI) is committed to exploring innovative financial technologies that enhance investment accessibility and improve market intelligence.

The company’s mission aligns with the broader trend of technological innovation within global finance, where advanced analytics, automation, and digital platforms are increasingly shaping how investors evaluate opportunities and manage capital.

By integrating emerging technologies into investment research and education, GCPI seeks to bridge the gap between complex market data and practical decision-making.

Introducing ProfitPilot AI

ProfitPilot AI is designed as an intelligent investment assistant that leverages advanced data analysis capabilities to help users evaluate market conditions more efficiently.

The platform focuses on several key areas:

• Market trend identification
• Data-driven investment analysis
• Risk assessment support
• Portfolio monitoring
• Real-time information processing
• Enhanced decision-making insights

Rather than relying solely on historical performance or emotional market reactions, ProfitPilot AI aims to provide users with objective analytical perspectives based on continuously evolving market data.

This approach enables investors to better understand changing market dynamics while maintaining a disciplined investment framework.

Howard Martin Smith’s Vision for AI-Powered Investing

According to Howard Martin Smith, the future of investing will increasingly depend on the effective collaboration between human judgment and artificial intelligence.

While technology can process information at unprecedented speed and scale, successful investing still requires strategic thinking, risk awareness, and long-term planning. ProfitPilot AI was created to serve as a support system that enhances investor capabilities rather than replacing human decision-making.

Under Smith’s leadership, the platform emphasizes investor education alongside technological innovation, helping users develop a deeper understanding of market behavior while benefiting from advanced analytical tools.

Empowering Investors Through Technology

One of the primary challenges facing today’s investors is information overload. Financial news, economic reports, earnings announcements, and geopolitical developments can significantly influence markets, making it difficult for individuals to process all relevant information efficiently.

ProfitPilot AI seeks to simplify this process by transforming complex market data into actionable intelligence. Through advanced algorithms and continuous data monitoring, the platform helps users focus on the information that matters most to their investment objectives.

This combination of accessibility and analytical depth reflects GCPI’s commitment to creating practical technology solutions for modern investors.

Looking Ahead

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, its impact on global financial markets is expected to expand significantly. Investors who effectively integrate AI-powered tools into their research and decision-making processes may gain valuable advantages in navigating increasingly data-driven markets.

With the launch of ProfitPilot AI, Global Capital Partners Investments LLC is positioning itself at the intersection of finance, technology, and investor education.

By combining intelligent analytics, innovative technology, and the guidance of Howard Martin Smith, GCPI aims to help investors approach the future of investing with greater confidence, clarity, and efficiency.

Brandon, MB, Jul 02, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Switching accounting platforms is a major step for any business. Whether moving from Sage 50 or NetSuite to QuickBooks, the decision is often driven by growth, cost efficiency, or the need for a more streamlined financial system. Yet despite the advantages, one concern consistently holds companies back: the risk of data loss or disruption during migration.

Financial data is the foundation of business operations. Losing transaction history, breaking report structures, or introducing inaccuracies during a system transition can create long-term challenges. That is why migration is not simply a technical task—it is a process that requires precision, experience, and a deep understanding of both the source and destination systems.

One of the biggest challenges businesses face during migration is the difference in how accounting platforms are structured. Sage 50, NetSuite, and QuickBooks each handle data in distinct ways, from chart of accounts design to transaction mapping and reporting logic. Direct transfers are rarely straightforward, and improper handling can lead to missing records, duplicated entries, or mismatched balances.

In addition to structural differences, businesses must also manage large volumes of historical data. Years of financial records, customer information, vendor data, and payroll details need to be accurately transferred and validated. Even a small inconsistency can affect financial reporting, tax filings, and future audits.

This is where working with an experienced migration partner becomes essential.

QBRP specializes in handling complex accounting data transitions, providing businesses with a secure path from Sage 50 or NetSuite into QuickBooks. Their expertise extends across multiple third-party systems, allowing them to navigate the nuances of each platform while preserving the integrity of the data. Instead of relying on generic conversion tools, they apply tailored processes designed to ensure that every record aligns correctly within the new environment.

A key focus throughout the migration process is financial accuracy. Balances must match, transactions must be complete, and reports must remain consistent. QBRP ensures that the migrated QuickBooks file is not only accessible, but also reliable and audit-ready. This attention to detail eliminates the need for extensive cleanup after the transition and gives businesses confidence in their new system from day one.

The result is a clean, fully functional QuickBooks file that supports immediate operations. Businesses can continue invoicing, running reports, and managing finances without interruption. Historical data remains intact and accessible, ensuring continuity for both internal decision-making and external compliance requirements.

Migration does not have to be a risk. With the right expertise, it becomes a smooth and controlled process that sets the foundation for future growth. By choosing a trusted partner like QBRP, businesses can move forward with confidence, knowing their financial data is secure, accurate, and ready to support the next phase of operations.

Most travel eSIMs provide data, but not communication. Discover how eSIMo’s Second Number helps travelers and business professionals make calls, receive SMS, and stay connected across 200+ destinations.

Miami, FL, United States, 2nd Jul 2026 – Mobile data has transformed international travel, making it easier than ever to navigate cities, translate languages, and stay connected online. Yet many travelers discover the same problem after they land: internet access alone doesn’t help when they need to call a hotel, receive a verification code, contact a car rental agency, or keep their personal phone number private.

eSIMo is addressing that gap with its Second Number feature, giving travelers a dedicated phone number alongside their travel eSIM for voice calls, SMS, and two-factor authentication (2FA). Available through the eSIMo app, the feature helps users communicate more easily while traveling across more than 200 destinations without relying on expensive international roaming or carrying a second device.

When Mobile Data Isn’t Enough

Navigation apps and messaging platforms are essential while traveling, but many everyday situations still require a real phone number.

Travelers may need to:

• Call a hotel to arrange a late check-in.
• Contact a car rental company about pickup instructions.
• Confirm a restaurant reservation that doesn’t accept online bookings.
• Reach a tour operator or local business by phone.
• Receive important SMS messages while abroad.

Rather than depending on hotel reception phones, international roaming, or temporary SIM cards, travelers can manage these interactions directly from the eSIMo app using their dedicated travel number.

One Number That Travels With You

Unlike temporary solutions that change between trips, the eSIMo Second Number remains consistent while users switch travel data plans or visit multiple countries.

This continuity makes it easier to:

• Receive one-time passwords (OTPs) and SMS verification codes.
• Access banking, travel, delivery, and transportation apps that require phone verification.
• Maintain a dedicated travel identity across multiple destinations.
• Register an additional WhatsApp or business messaging profile on compatible devices.

For frequent travelers, business professionals, and digital nomads, keeping the same number from one trip to the next simplifies communication without repeatedly updating contacts or account information.

More Than a Phone Number

The eSIMo Second Number is designed to complement international travel by combining communication and connectivity in a single experience. Instead of relying on multiple apps, physical SIM cards, or separate communication services, travelers can manage mobile data, voice calling, SMS verification, and a persistent travel number from one platform.

Whether coordinating airport pickups, contacting local businesses, confirming reservations, accessing services that require SMS authentication, or staying reachable throughout multi-country trips, the Second Number adds a practical communication layer that traditional data-only travel eSIMs often lack.

Built for Modern International Travel

“Travelers today expect more than internet access,” said the eSIMo Team. “Whether it’s calling a hotel after a delayed flight, receiving an authentication code, or keeping personal contact information separate while abroad, communication remains an important part of the travel experience. Our Second Number feature brings voice, SMS, and travel data together in one simple app.”

The eSIMo Second Number is built for the moments travelers can’t predict. A delayed flight, a hotel calling to confirm a late arrival, a rental agency updating a pickup location, or a destination app requesting instant verification are all situations where having a dedicated travel number becomes just as valuable as having mobile data.

For business travelers, the value extends beyond convenience. A persistent second number provides a consistent point of contact while working across multiple countries, making it easier to stay reachable by clients, colleagues, and local partners without depending on hotel phones, changing local SIM cards, or exposing a personal number for business interactions abroad.

As international travel becomes increasingly connected, travelers expect more than reliable mobile data. They need the flexibility to access high-speed eSIM connectivity, make affordable international calls, receive important SMS verification codes, and maintain a dedicated second number throughout their journey. By bringing these essential travel communication tools together in a single platform, eSIMo is helping redefine what travelers can expect from a modern travel eSIM making it easier to stay connected, reachable, and prepared in more than 200 destinations worldwide.

Tokyo, Japan, July 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

Kurita Industries Ltd., (Head office: Nakano-ku, Tokyo, President: Hirohiko Ejiri, hereinafter: “Kurita”) has established a joint venture, Kurita Membrane India Private Limited (hereinafter the “JV”) and started its business, specializing in water treatment solutions for electronics industry, primarily semiconductor sector, in India, together with Membrane Group India Private Limited (Head office: Gurugram, Haryana, India, Chairman: M M Narang, hereinafter “Membrane Group”), which operates in the design, manufacture, installation and servicing of water treatment equipment in the country. 

Amid the rapidly expanding demands for semiconductors, driven largely by the rapid growth of generative AI, and the global trend of expanding and diversifying production locations to swiftly and effectively meet such demand, India has also seen a rapid increase in investment from both domestic and international semiconductor-related companies, owing to the government’s proactive policies to attract the industry. In line with these developments, the size of India’s semiconductor market is forecasted to rise from an estimated USD 15 billion in 2020 to over USD 64 billion by 2026 and reach USD 110 billion by 2030(*1). Furthermore, the 10-year roadmap published by the government-affiliated think tank NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) in May 2026 sets a target of establishing a semiconductor value chain worth between USD 120 billion and USD 150 billion by 2035(*2).

Combining Membrane Group’s expertise, track record, with Kurita’s water treatment technologies, products, and Kurita’s technologies, products, and services, which have a proven track record in key regions, including Japan, and adding value through pricing suited to the local market and environmental consideration, the JV aims to become an “indispensable partner” for them. Furthermore, together with the joint venture and Kurita AquaChemie India Private Limited(*3), which commenced sales of water treatment chemicals in 2024, we will strive to raise Kurita’s profile in India and further strengthen our business foundation. 

Outline of the JV:

Company Name: Kurita Membrane India Private Limited

Head office: Gurugram, Haryana, Republic of India

Kurita Industries Ltd., (Head office: Nakano-ku, Tokyo, President: Hirohiko Ejiri, hereinafter: “Kurita”) has established a joint venture, Kurita Membrane India Private Limited (hereinafter the “JV”) and started its business, specializing in water treatment solutions for electronics industry, primarily semiconductor sector, in India, together with Membrane Group India Private Limited (Head office: Gurugram, Haryana, India, Chairman: M M Narang, hereinafter “Membrane Group”), which operates in the design, manufacture, installation and servicing of water treatment equipment in the country. 

Amid the rapidly expanding demands for semiconductors, driven largely by the rapid growth of generative AI, and the global trend of expanding and diversifying production locations to swiftly and effectively meet such demand, India has also seen a rapid increase in investment from both domestic and international semiconductor-related companies, owing to the government’s proactive policies to attract the industry. In line with these developments, the size of India’s semiconductor market is forecasted to rise from an estimated USD 15 billion in 2020 to over USD 64 billion by 2026 and reach USD 110 billion by 2030(*1). Furthermore, the 10-year roadmap published by the government-affiliated think tank NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) in May 2026 sets a target of establishing a semiconductor value chain worth between USD 120 billion and USD 150 billion by 2035(*2).

Kurita provides a diverse range of water treatment solutions for the electronics industry, including semiconductors, in Japan, East Asia, North America, and Europe, which is essential for their manufacturing processes, such as the production and supply of ultrapure water to recovery and reuse of wastewater, meeting customer needs and regional characteristics. In line with the policy aimed at further growth in the electronics industry, which is a high priority under our medium-term management plan “Pioneering Shared Value 2027 (PSV-27)” until fiscal 2027, we need to secure business opportunities consistently in the rapidly growing Indian market. In light of this situation, Kurita has agreed to establish the JV with Membrane Group, which has a proven track record in the water and wastewater treatment sector in India, with strong engineering, manufacturing, project execution, commissioning and lifecycle service capabilities, as well as long-standing relations with industrial customers. 

The JV will provide advanced water treatment, wastewater recycling, resource recovery, water analysis service, and environmental solutions to the electronics sector, including semiconductor, in India. Combining Membrane Group’s expertise, track record, with Kurita’s water treatment technologies, products, and Kurita’s technologies, products, and services, which have a proven track record in key regions, including Japan, and adding value through pricing suited to the local market and environmental consideration, the JV aims to become an “indispensable partner” for them. Furthermore, together with the joint venture and Kurita AquaChemie India Private Limited(*3), which commenced sales of water treatment chemicals in 2024, we will strive to raise Kurita’s profile in India and further strengthen our business foundation.
