Shameek Ghosh, CEO of TrusTrace, said he believes the update will help clients take charge of their supply chains in a new way, particularly in a time of economic uncertainty.
'In today's high-stakes regulatory and business environment, access to accurate, real-time sustainability data shouldn't be a privilege—it should be a given,' Ghosh said in a statement. 'We've built a powerful, AI-assisted supply chain data hub that allows companies to quickly and easily collect and analyze data at any scale, empowering them to move from reactive crisis management to proactive impact-driven strategies. This is the future of responsible, resilient business.'
The system can now gather supply chain data from multiple sources, including suppliers, compliance documents and internal records; flag risks for proactive management; find holes in information necessary for compliance processes; help clients make decisions with a more holistic view of supply chain and more. It does so by leveraging AI to parse through the data, which it contends betters the data sets and allows for data to be used for many purposes, rather than being siloed.
TrusTrace noted that the technology is applicable to small-to-medium businesses and large enterprises alike. It said brands and manufacturers are already using the upgraded platform, but did not disclose who the earliest clients testing the new system included.
The announcement comes on the heels of the Swedish company's partnership with Avery Dennison, aimed at providing stronger transparency into raw materials' origins and uses throughout the supply chain, so that clients can discern a clear chain of custody. The collaboration saw Avery Dennison integrating TrusTrace's technology into its end-to-end supply chain solution, Optica.
Kenny Liu, vice president and general manager S. Asia, EMEA and Optica at Avery Dennison, said the business relationship enriched the company's ability to provide meaningful information and insights to its clients.
'Navigating today's complex global supply chains requires reliable, streamlined access to comprehensive data,' Liu said in a statement. 'By integrating TrusTrace into our Optica portfolio of supply chain solutions, we're equipping brands with the tools they need to map their supply chains, verify raw material origins, and confidently meet evolving regulatory demands. This level of transparency empowers smarter sourcing decisions and ultimately drives meaningful impact across the entire supply chain.'

Barnburner Figma IPO Offers Good Omen as Klarna Reconsiders Debut
None of this was by design. Less than two years ago, in December 2023, software giant Adobe abandoned a $20 billion acquisition of Figma, the maker of cloud-based design tools for building website and app interfaces. The deal unraveled after antitrust regulators in the US and Europe expressed such vociferous concern that Adobe didn't even bother with seeking formal approval. Figma shareholders ought to thank them: The company's shares soared 250% in their New York Stock Exchange debut yesterday, yielding a market capitalization of $47 billion, or more than double Adobe's offer. Other companies flirting with initial public offerings (IPO), like a certain Swedish fintech, may soon follow the encouraging developments. READ ALSO: Big Tech Pulls Off a Very Big Earnings Week and Exxon and Chevron, Rivals Turned Frenemies, Face Profit Pressure-Cooker Wake-Up Call The IPO market, as you probably know, entered a bear-like hibernation after its 2021 peak. Central banks started hiking interest rates to lance white-hot inflation, the knock-on effect being an increased cost of capital (which makes it harder to borrow and finance growth). There was hope this slumbering bear would emerge from its cave this year, soothed by the honeyed business outlook of the new administration. Instead, the first half of 2025 ended up meh. On the one hand, the US saw 109 IPOs, the most in the first half of a year since 2021. But the proceeds (the actual money raised in those offerings) fell to $17.1 billion from $18.8 billion in the first half of 2024, according to an EY analysis. To emphasize just how far things have fallen, the first half of 2021 saw 219 US IPOs that brought in $85.1 billion. Much of the gap can be explained by economic uncertainty due to the Trump administration's saber-rattling about tariffs, which has left the Federal Reserve hesitant to cut rates so far this year. But Figma's debut on Thursday was the latest in a series of encouraging signs: On top of the software developer's sterling debut, recent weeks saw online bank Chime and stablecoin issuer Circle debut (the former up 27% from Chime's $27 June IPO price, the latter up over 490%). AI data center company CoreWeave, which debuted in March, is up almost 200%. So take it as no surprise that buy-now-pay-later fintech Klarna, which filed for an IPO in March but punted amid the tariff uncertainty in the months to follow, is considering listing as early as next month, according to sources who spoke to Bloomberg News. The outlet reported that the recent run of strong debuts is a factor in Klarna's thinking; EY's research bolsters the case for momentum, noting that June accounted for nine of the 16 IPOs that raised more than $50 million in the second quarter. What M&A Has to Say: There are signs that another core part of corporate activity, mergers and acquisitions, is also proving resilient amid escalating tariffs. In the first half of the year, the value of announced M&A deals reached $1.2 trillion, the highest in three years, S&P Global research said this week. 'As markets have largely shrugged off initial tariff uncertainties with multiple pauses, deals have resumed relatively quickly,' wrote the ratings agency. Listings could follow suit, as 'the IPO market appears poised to build on recent momentum,' according to EY's analysis (especially if trade negotiations stay subdued compared to a dramatic April that sent Klarna into a hibernation cave of its own for a few months).

Truecaller's call recording feature won't work on iPhones from Sept. 30
Truecaller is discontinuing its call recording function on iOS — just over two years after the feature was launched — as the Swedish company opts to focus on its core offering: fighting spam calls. On Friday, the company confirmed to TechCrunch that its call recording feature will no longer be available on iPhones starting September 30. Users with saved call recordings can either download them to their devices, share them via email or messaging apps, or switch their storage preference to iCloud to keep the recordings accessible even after the feature is discontinued. Truecaller's head of iOS, Nakul Kabra, told TechCrunch the company took the decision because it wanted to focus on its Live Caller ID and automatic spam blocking features. In June 2023, Truecaller launched call recording on iOS for its paying subscribers, alongside reintroducing the feature on Android. The app also got support for transcribing calls natively. Both call recording and transcription were launched in India last year. While call recording works seamlessly on Android, it is more complicated on iOS, where Apple's operating system does not let third-party apps record calls natively. To work around this, Truecaller uses a recording line that merges calls to record — a method that increases both costs and complexity, per Kabra. These challenges ultimately led to the feature being discontinued. The company has set up a support page to help users if they face any issues during the transition. Truecaller's move comes months after Apple introduced native call recording and transcription support for iPhone users in an iOS 18.1 update last year. The native feature does not require users to connect to a record line to record the call, unlike Truecaller, and also brings Apple Intelligence-powered transcriptions. That said, Truecaller had introduced call recording in the first place to entice iPhone users to upgrade, as the caller ID function is limited on the free tier. Paying users also get real-time caller ID, along with advanced and automatic spam blocking, Siri shortcuts, incognito mode, and other features. Truecaller has around 3 million subscribers worldwide, but iOS accounts for 44% of its total premium revenue, per its second-quarter financial results (PDF).

Liverpool's £120m bid for Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle as striker pushes for Anfield move
By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on August 1, 2025, 19:23 IST Liverpool have made a major move in the transfer market by opening formal talks with Newcastle United for star striker Alexander Isak. The Reds submitted an official proposal worth £120 million plus add-ons, but Newcastle immediately turned it down, rejecting the bid. Sources close to the deal reveal that Newcastle are not willing to entertain any negotiations unless they find a suitable replacement for Isak. Even if that happens, there is no guarantee the club will allow their prized forward to leave. Liverpool, however, remain determined to secure the Swedish international and are planning to return with another approach. Isak has reportedly made his desire to join Liverpool clear, increasing the pressure on Newcastle. Despite rumours about a potential new deal at St. James' Park, no contract negotiations are currently taking place, fuelling further speculation. Arne Slot's side view Isak as a key addition to strengthen their attack ahead of the upcoming season.
