How can businesses navigate the delicate balance between leveraging video surveillance for enhanced security and operational efficiency while ensuring the privacy and rights of individuals are respected? The inaugural episode of iQTalk, hosted by Gabrielle Bejarano, tackles these pressing questions with insights from John Donnelly III, the CRO of DTiQ, and Marc Litz, CEO of DTiQ. They share their expert perspectives on the evolution of video surveillance, ethical considerations, and the transformative impact of integrating technology with traditional surveillance methods to drive business growth and operational excellence.

"The reality is that you know, I think what we want to highlight is that the combination of surveillance and how it's evolved over the years to what it is today, along with ingesting data from other systems that our customers use, it goes beyond just what people think of as, you know, kind of that negative connotation of surveillance. It's using video and data to help you run a business and an operation at scale and help you make better business decisions," Donnelly said.

"What we've been seeing, especially post-COVID with the, I shouldn't even say the evolution of drive-thru, drive-thru has always been here, it's just it's a lot of the brands are doubling down on drive-thru now," Litz said. They're looking at how to get more throughput, whether it's inside the store or whether it's at the drive-thru."

These insights underscore the potential of video surveillance technology to enhance security and foster operational improvements and customer service excellence, marking a significant shift in the perception and application of surveillance technologies in the business world.

Leased modular cold storage trims upfront costs 20% to 30%, Titan Cold Storage says

Leased modular cold storage trims upfront costs 20% to 30%, Titan Cold Storage says

Titan Cold Storage's Søren Skov Mogensen, writing in Food Logistics, says leased modular cold storage units cut upfront construction costs 20% to 30% and can cut operating energy costs up to 30%. Newmark reports U.S. cold storage vacancy rising while demand grows. For food supply chain planners, the deciding variable is confidence in demand: steady, long-term load still favors a permanent build, while volatile peaks favor leased capacity.

  • 01Rising vacancy and rising demand at the same time, per Newmark's 2H 2025 report, means the U.S. cold storage market has spare space and a shortage of the right space; the useful question is now what kind of capacity, where, and for how long.
  • 02A 2023 Frontiers study of 67 cold stores found field energy use ran up to 30% above laboratory conditions, so a lease quote should be judged on the provider's measured fleet energy data, not on rated performance.
  • 03Leased modular units fit operators with a stable baseline and volatile peaks (harvest compression, plant renovations, rerouted supply); Titan's own author says permanent construction still makes sense where demand is long-term and steady.

Hain Celestial is selling most of its international business to AURELIUS for $323 million

Hain Celestial has signed a definitive agreement, announced Sept. 14, to sell most of its International business to private equity firm AURELIUS for an estimated $323 million in cash. Ella's Kitchen and New Covent Garden soups are included. Retailers, distributors and suppliers trading with those brands could face a new counterparty once the deal closes, though no closing date has been reported.

  • 01Hain expects $305 million to $310 million in net proceeds on an estimated $323 million headline price, and the announcement does not itemize what accounts for the difference.
  • 02The package spans Ella’s Kitchen baby and kids foods, Joya and Natumi plant-based beverages, Hartley’s jelly, Linda McCartney Foods, Cully & Sully, and the Yorkshire Provender and New Covent Garden soup brands; if the deal closes as described, multi-category buyers could be dealing with one new owner across them.
  • 03The signal to watch is a closing date and any transition arrangements; neither is in the reporting so far, so day-to-day trading terms for these brands remain as they are until that changes.

Drinks are the clearest format for wellness-led growth through 2026

Drinks are the clearest format for wellness-led growth through 2026

Zappi's March list of food and beverage categories expected to emerge or strengthen through 2026 covers functional foods, functional beverages and gut-health platforms, and uses hemp-derived THC drinks as its clearest example of how a new category forms. Morning Consult data reported by Food Dive backs the beverage call: eight of 25 five-year growth brands were drinks, none packaged food. Only 14% of 2,800 brands saw purchase consideration rise in 2026.

  • 01Beverages took eight of the 25 slots on Morning Consult's five-year growth list and packaged food took none, a hard benchmark for anyone weighting a 2027 launch pipeline by format.
  • 02The sharper question for any new concept: does it borrow familiarity shoppers already have, the way Coca-Cola's Mr. Pibb relaunch did, or does it have to build awareness before a benefit claim can do any work?
  • 03Hemp-derived THC beverages reached about $2.8 billion in sales in 2023, per Brightfield Group data cited by Zappi, with more growth expected as distribution widens.
