Vertical IQ Enhances Industry Intelligence With New OSHA Data

Vertical IQ

Industry Intelligence leader Vertical IQ is once again setting the bar for value-added data by adding the latest Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) statistics to each of their full Industry Profiles. This new OSHA data has applications for many different sectors that utilize Vertical IQ’s Industry Intelligence such as insurance, banking, and risk management. This OSHA data is pulled from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) database, which reports the incidence rate of injuries and illnesses in each industry by calendar year, broken out by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. To collect this workplace injury and illness data, BLS utilizes the Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities (IIF) program, which gathers an array of detailed information about workplace health and safety via its annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) and the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). Vertical IQ has added this informative OSHA data to each of its full Industry Profiles in a new chapter entitled “Occupational Safety.” The new chapter is organized into sections including: Recordable Cases, showing the industry’s rate of recordable incidents year-to-year per 100 full-time workers, and comparing it to the national average. Cases With Days Away From Work, highlighting the industry’s year-to-year rate of lost work days for illness or injury per 100 full-time workers, and how it stacks up against the national average. Cases With Job Restriction or Transfer, detailing the industry’s year-to-year rate of per capita cases where full-time employees have to work with restrictions or transfer to a different role as a result of illness or injury, versus the national average. This new Industry Profile chapter and data is yet another way that Vertical IQ is setting themselves apart from their competitors. “We are constantly listening to feedback from our customers and looking for ways to increase the value of the Industry Intelligence we offer them,” said Courtney Farfour. “We also know that third-party data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the gold standard for accuracy and reliability. By adding OSHA data, we are giving our users another insightful data point to bolster their understanding and analysis of an industry.” Jesse Walker, Vice President, CRM and Sales Success at EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants, highlighted the benefit of this addition, saying: “Understanding how an industry's OSHA risk levels compare to the national average allows us to better evaluate potential exposures and offer tailored advice to our clients. With this data, we can position ourselves as trusted advisors and ensure our recommendations are informed by the most reliable, quantifiable insights available.” To learn more about Vertical IQ’s new OSHA data, or to request a demo, visit www.verticaliq.com. ABOUT VERTICAL IQ Headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., Vertical IQ is a nationally recognized leader in Industry Intelligence.

Rezolve Ai’s Recent Deals With Microsoft, Google Could Jumpstart Its Revenues In $7.6 Billion Market

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Rezolve AI (NASDAQ: RZLV) is making bold moves, teaming up with tech powerhouses Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) Google in a pair of groundbreaking deals announced in November. The deals represent significant commitments from both partners and are expected to drive customer growth and strengthen Rezolve Ai’s position in the conversational commerce space. By teaming up with leaders in generative AI and cloud technology, Rezolve Ai is aiming to solidify its reputation as a go-to solution for businesses looking to enhance their digital shopping experiences. What The Microsoft Partnership Brings To The Table Rezolve Ai’s collaboration with Microsoft integrates its AI-powered tools with Microsoft Azure, creating a seamless digital shopping experience for eCommerce customers. From personalized product recommendations to fast checkouts and customer support, the partnership is designed to cover the entire online shopping journey. Microsoft is also backing Rezolve Ai with joint marketing campaigns, PR support and access to its massive network of 35,000 salespeople. This could help Rezolve Ai quickly expand its reach across Microsoft’s customer base. Nick Parker, Microsoft’s President of Industry & Partnerships, said, “Rezolve’s Brain Suite of AI solutions will help retailers deepen customer engagement, streamline operations, and boost sales with scalable AI-driven tools.” Rezolve Ai’s Brain Suite includes: Brain Commerce: A conversational search tool to help customers find products quickly. Brain Checkout: A feature that enables fast, personalized and frictionless checkouts. Brain Assistant: A real-time support tool designed to build customer loyalty. The Brain Suite will run on Microsoft Azure and be available globally through the Azure Marketplace and Microsoft’s co-sell channels. The partnership is set to last for at least five years. What The Google Deal Means For Rezolve Ai Rezolve Ai’s partnership with Google is similar in scope, with its Brain Suite being made available to Google Cloud customers worldwide. The deal also includes a co-development agreement, which could lead to Rezolve Ai’s technology being integrated into Google’s core services like Search, Maps, Android and YouTube. This could significantly accelerate the adoption of Rezolve Ai’s tools. The company expects the Google partnership to generate over 50% of its projected revenue in the coming years. CEO Daniel M. Wagner called the partnerships with Microsoft and Google “an extraordinary achievement” and a validation of the team’s hard work. How Rezolve Ai Stands Out In Conversational Commerce Rezolve Ai is on a mission to transform how people shop online. The company believes that traditional eCommerce experiences haven’t evolved much in the past decade, leaving room for innovation. Its Brain Suite aims to make online shopping more intuitive and personalized, much like interacting with a knowledgeable salesperson in a store. Instead of simply matching keywords or product features, Rezolve Ai’s tools analyze a customer’s specific needs to provide tailored recommendations. This end-to-end approach covers everything from initial engagement to post-purchase support, helping businesses improve customer satisfaction and drive revenue. A 2023 McKinsey & Company report noted that for retail and consumer packaged goods companies, the potential impact of AI on annual revenues could translate into an additional $400 billion to $660 billion annually. Unlike competitors that focus on narrow use cases, Rezolve Ai offers a comprehensive solution that addresses the entire digital shopping journey. Its cloud-agnostic platform and enterprise on-premise options also set it apart from the competition. The Growth Potential Of Conversational Commerce The conversational commerce market is currently valued at $7.6 billion and is expected to grow to over $34.4 billion by 2034, according to Future Market Insights. Rezolve Ai plans to expand beyond retail into industries like travel, finance, healthcare and entertainment, which could significantly increase its addressable market. The company estimates that its current target customers represent a $10 billion market opportunity. It also projects reaching $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 2025. With a total addressable market of $480 billion to $540 billion globally, Rezolve Ai believes it’s well-positioned to capture a significant share of this growing industry. It also notes that it is currently working with more than 215,000 merchants globally. The company expects to achieve more than $100 million in ARR by 2025. Why These Partnerships Matter The deals with Microsoft and Google give Rezolve Ai access to billions of consumers and millions of businesses worldwide. By integrating its tools with these platforms, Rezolve Ai expects to see rapid growth in adoption and use cases. These partnerships mark a major milestone for the company as it works to establish itself as a leader in conversational commerce. Featured photo by Igor Omilaev on Unsplash.
