  • Checkrun Recognized as Best Value and Most Recommended Accounts Payable Software for 2026

    Gartner Digital Markets Platforms Capterra and Software Advice Honor the Payment Issuance Platform for QuickBooks Online Users Based on Verified User Reviews.

    Checkrun enables businesses to securely issue checks and electronic payments efficiently from a single platform, improving speed, accuracy, and control.”
    — Checkrun

    CARLSBAD, CA, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Checkrun, the payment issuance platform built for QuickBooks Online users, today announced it has been recognized as the “Best Value” software by Capterra and the “Most Recommended” software by Software Advice in the Accounts Payable Software category for 2026. Both Capterra and Software Advice are operated by Gartner Digital Markets, a global B2B platform connecting buyers with software solutions through verified reviews and research.

    These honors are based on verified user feedback collected across Capterra and Software Advice, reflecting Checkrun’s proven performance in helping businesses modernize payment issuance while maintaining the controls and workflows they rely on every day. Buyers highlighted Checkrun’s ease of use, flexibility, and ability to streamline accounts payable processes without requiring changes to existing accounting systems.

    Developed by AP Technology, Checkrun is designed specifically for organizations that continue to rely on checks while seeking greater automation, security, and control. As many industries still require checks for compliance, trust, and operational needs, Checkrun bridges the gap between traditional payment methods and modern accounts payable automation.

    Checks remain a critical payment method for businesses such as law firms, real estate offices, automotive enterprises, construction companies, professional services firms, and other organizations that require frequent approvals and payments. Checkrun enables businesses to securely issue checks and electronic payments efficiently from a single platform, improving speed, accuracy, and control.

    Checkrun integrates directly with QuickBooks Online accounting data, allowing finance teams to route payments for approval, and issue payments with confidence—whether checks are printed remotely, mailed, or delivered electronically. By enhancing existing QuickBooks Online workflows, Checkrun allows businesses to modernize at their own pace without the disruption of adopting complex new processes.

    Key Checkrun capabilities include:
    • Remote Check Printing — Securely print and issue checks from anywhere, supporting distributed, hybrid, and multi-location teams.
    Payee Deposit Choice — Payees have three choices of how they’d like to deposit funds: self-print and deposit, by mobile deposit, or by having a physical check mailed to them.
    • Automated Approval Workflows — Digitally route payments for review and authorization, reducing bottlenecks and manual handling.
    • Built-In Security and Controls — Maintain detailed audit trails, archived payment images, and clear reconciliation back to QuickBooks Online.
    • Mobile Access — Approve, sign, and schedule payments from anywhere using Checkrun’s mobile app.

    Many organizations continue to struggle with accounts payable because modern solutions often require prefunding into third party bank accounts, or they result in a loss of control with vendors. Expensive interchange-based payments can also pose challenges. Checkrun eliminates these barriers by extending the capabilities businesses already use. By reducing manual check handling and disconnected processes, Checkrun helps finance teams lower error rates, improve cash-flow visibility, and operate more efficiently.

    “Being recognized by Capterra and Software Advice is especially meaningful because these awards are driven by verified customer feedback,” said Tyler Gill, Chief Growth Officer of AP Technology. “We are honored that users see Checkrun as both a best-value and a highly recommended solution. These awards validate our mission to give businesses a fast, efficient, secure, more modern way to issue business payments.”

    Checkrun is available to QuickBooks Online users and can be implemented quickly with minimal disruption. To learn more and to request a demo, visit www.checkrun.com.

  • Warming Spring Weather Brings New Attention to Vehicle Protection and Comfort in Minnesota

    RAMSEY, MN, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As temperatures begin to rise across Minnesota, drivers are starting to notice the transition from winter to early spring in a very practical way. Snowbanks shrink, sunlight grows stronger, and daily commutes shift from icy caution to clearer roads. With that seasonal change comes renewed attention to how vehicles look, feel, and perform after months of harsh winter conditions.

    Winter driving leaves behind more than visible grime. Road salt, sand, and moisture accumulate on exterior surfaces and inside vehicle cabins throughout the colder months. Even as temperatures climb, these residues can continue affecting paint finishes, carpets, and interior materials if they remain untreated.

    For many drivers, early spring becomes the moment when winter buildup finally becomes obvious. As snow melts away, dried salt marks appear along lower panels and wheel wells, while interiors may show stains and residue from months of tracked-in snow and slush.

    Spring sunlight reveals hidden wear

    Another noticeable shift arrives with longer days and brighter sunlight. As the sun sits higher in the sky, it exposes imperfections that winter’s gray skies often hide. Fine scratches, swirl marks, and dull paint surfaces become easier to see when light reflects across the vehicle’s exterior.

    Interior comfort also comes into focus. Warmer temperatures mean heaters run less often and windows stay closed longer during daytime drives. Dust, lingering odors, and winter debris that once went unnoticed may suddenly feel more apparent.

    This seasonal shift often encourages drivers to look beyond a quick wash and consider deeper cleaning or protective care that restores a vehicle’s condition after winter.

    Preparing vehicles for warmer months

    Early spring is also when drivers begin thinking about how to protect their vehicles before summer heat arrives. Surface protection, paint correction, and interior detailing can help remove the effects of winter while preparing vehicles for stronger UV exposure and rising temperatures.

    Protective treatments applied during this time can help maintain paint clarity and make routine cleaning easier in the months ahead. Inside the cabin, deep cleaning helps remove salt residue and moisture that can affect fabrics and floor materials over time.

    Drivers also become more aware of sunlight during spring commutes. Increased daylight can bring glare through windows and additional heat inside parked vehicles. This seasonal change often leads to conversations about window tinting as a way to improve comfort, reduce glare, and protect interior materials from sun exposure.

    Simple guidance helps drivers choose the right care

    For many drivers, the biggest challenge is understanding which services make sense after a long winter. Questions about paint protection, deep interior cleaning, and window tinting often arise as people evaluate how their vehicles handled the colder months.

    Polarizauto works with drivers throughout the Ramsey area to explain these options in clear, practical terms. By focusing on straightforward advice and professional application, the goal is to help customers choose services that support both vehicle appearance and long-term protection.

    Polarizauto provides detailing, window tinting, and ceramic coating services designed to help Minnesota drivers maintain their vehicles through changing seasons. As spring arrives and roads finally clear, many drivers are taking the opportunity to refresh and protect their vehicles for the warmer months ahead.

  • JC-Electronics unveils major industry report on refurbished industrial electronics

    JC-Electronics has launched RE:SOURCE, a major new industry report on industrial electronics

    What RE:SOURCE does is guide readers through these challenges using the best and most experienced minds in industrial electronics – all in a concise and accessible magazine”
    — Gerard Katje, Managing Director at JC-Electronics

    SPRINGFIELD, PA, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — JC-Electronics has launched RE:SOURCE, a major new industry report on industrial electronics that helps businesses make an informed choice amid the many considerations they face around inventory management.
     
    A leading supplier of refurbished industrial electronics, JC-Electronics, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, is known for combining high-quality refurbishment processes with strict quality controls to give industrial electronics a second life.
     
    The free, informative report features in-depth interviews with a plethora of industry experts from around the world, each offering their insights into a facet of industrial electronics – from sourcing to maintenance to repairs.
     
    Customers can request a printed copy of the magazine via the company’s website here.
     
    Through articles such as “To upgrade or not to upgrade?”, “Let’s talk money: balancing costs and longevity in equipment management”, and “AI and machine learning in industrial electronics”, readers benefit from the experience of chief technical officers, commercial directors, plant managers, procurement leads, and more.
     
    Gerard Katje, Managing Director at JC-Electronics, comments: “The various decisions that businesses must make regarding their industrial electronics can be daunting. For example, where’s the best place to source from? When is it best to refurbish, and when to upgrade? What does the latest sustainability legislation say? These are important questions, with the power to affect any business – but they’re often tricky to answer without expert guidance.
     
    “What RE:SOURCE does is guide readers through these challenges using the best and most experienced minds in industrial electronics – all in a concise and accessible magazine.”
     
    Throughout the guide, a clear theme emerges that many of the preconceptions that people have about second-hand electronics are now outdated and unhelpful. For example, there has long been a stereotype that refurbished products do not work as well as new products, do not come with clear information, and require more maintenance.
     
    However, the testimony of the expert interviewees repeatedly demonstrates that these things are not true, and that professional refurbishment is now an excellent choice. This is because it has evolved to include standardised processes, component replacement, comprehensive testing, and quality assurance protocols.
     
    “The truth is that, when done right, the refurbishment process now transforms electrical equipment to a like-new condition that often requires less maintenance than brand-new models,” says Gerard. “When you add transparency to this, allowing buyers to see exactly what exists and compare prices and lead times, then refurbished equipment becomes a highly attractive proposition.
     
    “This is just one of the key insights that readers will take away from our new industry report, which helps them cut through the noise and make informed choices that benefit their businesses.”

  • California Insurance Rates Surge — RidePair Introduces ‘Get Paid to Pair’

    Solution for Commuters Facing Rising Driving Costs

    SANTA MONICA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As auto insurance premiums continue rising across California, RidePair is introducing a solution designed to help commuters reduce the cost of driving while earning rewards for sharing rides. Recent reporting by the Los Angeles Times highlights a sharp increase in auto insurance premiums statewide as insurers respond to inflation, higher repair costs, increased vehicle technology complexity, and rising claim expenses. For millions of Californians, the cost of simply getting to work is increasing faster than wages. RidePair believes the solution isn’t just lowering premiums — it’s lowering the number of vehicles required for each commute.

    Turning Empty Seats Into Income

    RidePair’s platform connects drivers and riders traveling in the same direction, enabling commuters to earn rewards by pairing rides instead of driving alone. Rather than bearing the full financial burden of:
    Insurance
    Fuel
    Maintenance
    Vehicle depreciation

    RidePair enables drivers to monetize unused seats, while riders also earn rewards for pairing with drivers and participating in the shared commute network. The company calls this approach:

    Reduce. Eliminate. Earn when driving.
    A Structural Problem in Transportation
    Insurance costs are rising at the same time vehicle ownership costs continue climbing nationwide.
    Industry analysts attribute premium increases to several factors including:
    Higher costs to repair modern vehicles with sensors and advanced electronics
    Supply chain disruptions raising parts prices
    Increasing claim severity and accident costs

    The result is that single-occupancy commuting is becoming increasingly expensive for the average Californian.
    RidePair’s platform addresses this by increasing vehicle efficiency — filling empty seats instead of adding more cars to the road.

    A Marketplace for Commuters

    RidePair is building a transportation ecosystem where commuters are rewarded for participating.
    Through the platform:

    Drivers earn rewards for offering available seats
    Riders earn rewards for pairing with drivers
    Local advertisers connect with commuters through RidePair’s drive-by marketing platform

    The system transforms daily commuting into an economic opportunity rather than just a cost.

    Leadership Perspective

    Deborah Kenney, CEO of RidePair, said:

    “As insurance premiums and vehicle costs continue to climb, the traditional model of commuting alone becomes less sustainable. RidePair turns everyday driving into an opportunity — allowing commuters to reduce expenses, earn rewards, and help remove unnecessary cars from the road.”

    About RidePair Inc.
    RidePair is a software company that has developed an app for coordinating, enabling, and verifying ride sharing. This is not ride sharing, such as Uber, where the driver is essentially offering a taxi service, but true ride sharing in which everyone in the car is sharing the ride to go to a similar place – e.g., co-commuting to work with colleagues. Unlike taxi-like services, which increase the number of cars on the road, true ride sharing has been shown to be one of the most effective means of reducing cars on the roads and thus reducing traffic, emissions, and even reducing roadway maintenance. The issue has been verifying that ride sharing or co-commuting is actually occurring, which issue we believe will be solved by the Ridepair app.

  • Broward County Jury Awards $1 Million Verdict in Armored Vehicle Injury Case

    Friedland Law P.A. secures a jury verdict exceeding $1,000,000 for a seriously injured client after a week-long Broward County commercial vehicle trial.

    This result is a testament to our firm’s commitment to taking cases all the way to a jury when justice demands it.”
    — Lee Friedland, Managing Partner, Friedland Law P.A.

    FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The trial team at Friedland Law P.A., led by Managing Partner Lee Friedland alongside attorneys Sanjeev Sirpal and Michael Gelety, has secured a jury verdict exceeding $1,000,000 for a client seriously injured by a commercial armored vehicle in Broward County Circuit Court.

    Following a week-long trial, the jury found the vehicle’s driver and operating company liable for the plaintiff’s injuries, rejecting the defense’s attempts to minimize corporate accountability.

    WHY THIS CASE MATTERS: COMMERCIAL VEHICLE LITIGATION IN SOUTH FLORIDA

    Commercial vehicle cases — including armored cars, delivery fleets, and semi-trucks — are among the most aggressively defended personal injury matters in Florida. Corporate defendants immediately deploy specialized insurance defense teams, and multiple layers of liability between drivers, vehicle owners, and logistics companies are routinely used to reduce or delay compensation.

    Industry data from Broward and Miami-Dade verdicts consistently shows one pattern: firms that demonstrate a credible willingness to take cases to a jury recover significantly more than those known primarily for early settlements.

    VERDICT BREAKDOWN

    The Broward County jury awarded compensation across three categories:

    – Past and future medical expenses, including specialized surgeries and ongoing rehabilitation
    – Lost wages and loss of earning capacity resulting from permanent impairment
    – Pain and suffering for physical and emotional trauma sustained by the client

    Total Award: Exceeding $1,000,000

    THE LEGAL STRATEGY THAT WON

    The Friedland Law trial team established two critical points before the jury: first, that the armored vehicle driver’s negligence was a direct cause of the plaintiff’s injuries; and second, that the operating company’s systemic failures — not just the driver’s actions — made the corporation itself liable for damages.

    “I am incredibly proud of the work Sanjeev Sirpal, Michael Gelety, and our entire support staff put into this case,” said Lee Friedland. “Most importantly, we are honored to provide our client with the financial security they need to move forward.”

    “This result is a testament to our firm’s commitment to taking cases all the way to a jury when justice demands it,” Friedland added.
