Click Labs has strengthened its position in the retail tech space with the acquisition of Evermile, an AI retail operations platform for small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) retailers. Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed by the companies. The acquisition adds AI capabilities to Click Labs' existing logistics and delivery software suite. Click Labs CEO Samar Singla stated: 'Evermile brings exceptional technology, deep operational expertise and a platform that merchants love. 'Together, we'll help retailers simplify operations, deliver seamless experiences, and grow smarter in a demanding market.' Evermile, established in 2022 by Omer Goldschmidt, Ynon Cohen and Omry Hochberg, provides tools aimed at automating routine retail processes. Its platform uses AI to manage order handling, delivery coordination, service-level tracking, customer support and engagement. The company's system has been used by a wide base of independent retailers across the UK since its launch in 2023. The technology is designed to support businesses that lack large operational teams or advanced in-house systems. Click Labs indicated that the integration of Evermile's tools will support the development of new features and help streamline day-to-day activities for SME retailers. The combined platform is expected to enable users to manage operations more efficiently and improve customer interaction through automated processes. As per the terms of the deal, Evermile will continue to operate as an individual business entity in the near term, while its technology will be integrated into Click Labs' flagship products, including JungleWorks, Tookan, Yelo and Hippo. Additionally, its technology will also be deployed across key markets in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC. Evermile co-founder and CEO Omer Goldschmidt said: 'We built Evermile to close the technology gap for independent retailers.

Gildan Activewear Inc. agreed to buy US underwear maker Hanesbrands Inc. — aiming to double its annual sales — for about $2.2 billion in cash and stock. Montreal-based Gildan is offering Hanesbrands holders roughly $6 a share, based on the companies' closing prices on Aug. 11, representing a premium of about 24% to the closing price on that date, according to a statement Wednesday. Including debt, the company's largest deal ever values Hanesbrands at about $4.4 billion. 'With this transaction, our revenues will double and we achieve a scale that distinctly sets us apart,' Gildan's Chief Executive Officer Glenn Chamandy said in the press release. The company is a global player in the cheap-clothing trade that churns out T-shirts and socks for the likes of Walmart Inc. and Nike Inc. and under its own brands, including American Apparel.
