Silo Backup Supply, a Phoenix Arizona startup, is launching a food security membership plan that will ship food on demand from their climate-controlled warehouses. Plans start at $100 plus a monthly storage fee.
Silo Backup Supply, a Phoenix-based startup, announced a solution to provide individuals and families with an extensive emergency food supply and off-site storage. Silo refers to the offering as Essential Goods Assurance. The concept is like insurance in that it provides a guarantee of food and other essential products to its members. Silo does this by storing food and other items in secure, climate-controlled facilities, ready to be shipped upon demand to a member’s home, vacation home or other US location.
“Our goal is to provide the ultimate hands-off prepping solution,” said Daniel Oertle, President and co-founder. “We believe a proper emergency food supply should be within reach for all Americans, regardless of where they live or how much storage space they have in their home.”
The team at Silo Backup Supply developed the concept after witnessing the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on supply chains. “The experience of being unable to purchase toilet paper and sufficient amounts of non-perishable food at stores made me realize how surprisingly fragile our global supply chains are. Supply chain disruptions continue to cause unanticipated shortages in supermarkets and elsewhere”, explained Oertle. “Most businesses have backup supplies of critical resources; we believe individuals and families also need a reliable backup supply of food and other essentials for their security and peace of mind.”
Silo’s hands-off long-term emergency food system addresses the storage problem many families face. “The biggest issue for most people is finding sufficient space in their homes to store enough food to carry them through a potential long-term food shortage”, said Alan Robezzoli, co-founder. “Our solution eliminates that problem.”
Silo’s membership plans will be available for as little as $100 plus a low monthly storage fee and will be based on family size and the amount of backup supplies desired.

Stibo Systems, a global leader in Master Data Management (MDM) solutions, reports to have experienced the pandemic as a business accelerator. “In the course of the pandemic, more and more companies have realized the importance of organized and accurate master data for setting up business and sales processes online in a professional manner. Thus, they have invested heavily in MDM,” says Jesper Ejlersen, CEO of Stibo Systems. He points out that the growing demand for the company’s MDM solutions has been sourced by all industries: “Retailers, distributors and CPG companies have reacted to the shift in business from physical to online, and manufacturers have been eager to digitalize their businesses to work seamlessly with vendors, suppliers, their customers and third parties. In addition, we have benefited from another disruptive process: Companies in the UK need to speed up their digital transformation to stay competitive due to Brexit.”

As a result, Stibo Systems ends its financial year (May 2020 until April 2021) with a record revenue. The company announces revenue of $113.4 million USD which is a plus of 5.4 percent compared to its former fiscal year. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) have gone up to $2 million USD which is a plus of $14 million USD, as in its former fiscal year the company had generated a planned deficit of $12 million USD due to major investments in the transition to a software-as-a-service business model.
One of the reasons for this successful year is that Stibo Systems’ MDM solutions have not only been implemented by companies who wanted to get their product data accurate. “Talking about product data was often a starting point with customers. But quite frequently it became clear that the product domain was just one of the domains they needed to get right. From there it went on to customer, location, vendor and supplier data. There is clearly a trend for companies to strive for comprehensive data transparency through multidomain master data management,” says Jesper Ejlersen.
Another trend reported by Stibo Systems’ CEO is that customers are primarily asking for cloud solutions. “More than 80 percent of our new customers have chosen a software-as-a-service master data management solution. For us, this is a positive development because it creates a higher stable recurring revenue in the longer term. So, our investments in this area have already paid off. And our cloud offering will be a success factor for many years to come,” concludes Jesper Ejlersen.

New Nonprofit Disrupts the Status Quo for Carbon Capture
National nonprofit Synergy for Ecological Solutions officially launches on the first day of Spring, March 20. SYNERGY is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to serving our environment through a one-of-a-kind program of climate wellness through soil health and other ecological synergies.
“While other carbon programs involve credits, taxes, government programs, and protocols that are not always beneficial or possible for a land manager, at SYNERGY, we started with the science and worked backward to create a program called YOU360,” says Jeff Holder of Synergy for Ecological Solutions.”
“While other carbon programs involve credits, taxes, government programs, and protocols that are not always beneficial or possible for a land manager, at SYNERGY, we started with the science and worked backward to create a program called YOU360,” says Jeff Holder of Synergy for Ecological Solutions. “We let Nature clean the air and we do it by letting individuals and businesses be the solution.”
The YOU360 program brings together those who are motivated to help the environment with those who manage open land of any kind, such as ranches, farms, parks, and golf courses.
Donors called Change Agents donate monthly to SYNERGY, who in turn, provides grants to land managers called Land Stewards to change equipment or practices that will result in increased soil health. Better soil increases photosynthesis, which releases more oxygen into the air and sequesters greater carbon into the roots and soil. The You360 program is a natural, organic method for cleaning the air.
President Biden’s climate-focused administration has identified carbon capture in soils as critical to air quality health. The You360 program can take advantage of any open land to create carbon sinks for trapping the carbon out of the air.
The US Department of Agriculture has quantified the vast carbon storage potential of healthy soil. A recent study by USDA scientists estimates that Wyoming’s rangelands alone have the capacity to store carbon from over 11 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. Combined with acreage across the West and Midwest, the potential to create climate wellness is immense.
“Using our open lands, we can work on carbon neutrality today, not years from now. If we focus on science, it will lead to interaction between soil health and climate wellness,” says John Robitaille of Carbon Asset Network.
SYNERGY works with Carbon Asset Network, which is a network of land stewards throughout the nation.
It’s no secret that as time has passed, the gulf between those who can afford healthcare and those who cannot have widened. The debate over the causes of this issue has played out endlessly in the media. However, until now, very few solutions were being offered to solve the crisis of people not seeing a doctor because of the expense even though they are sick. Claver Misago was determined to help solve this issue, and he created Medical 24/7 so that healthcare could be accessed by more people at an affordable price no matter where they are.
One problem Claver saw was with billings, which are normally done by medical billing and coding companies. The manual process of writing codes and submitting bills to payers (insurers) takes a long time and in many cases can result in errors in the bills as well as the bill being returned to senders, causing more delays in payment and more fees added to the charges.
Medical 24/7 uses innovative technology to solve these issues. It provides a one-of-a-kind blockchain platform that involves all stakeholders in any healthcare process, solves the issues of billings, and delivers better healthcare. It offers three services that are innovating how healthcare is done:
Medical 24/7 is an access-control manager of health data and medical records, giving people the power to take control of their own health data and medical records.
The company provides interoperability services within the health IT ecosystem.
Medical 24/7 provides a unique billing system with the blockchain platform.
The technology created by Medical 24/7 include benefits that make it even more effective:
1. Secure: All payments through Medical 24/7 blockchain are more secure, faster, and low-cost through the use of encrypted distributed ledgers that provide trusted realtime
verification of transactions without the need for intermediaries.
2. Reliable: The technology solves manual issues occurring in billing processes as well as reduces overpriced testing. Blockchain technology enhances reliability, as full copies of the blockchain ledger are maintained by all active nodes. Thus, if one node goes offline, the ledger is still readily available to all other participants in the network. A blockchain lacks a single point of failure.
3. Automatic: Payers will automatically release funds when a trigger event occurs, such as a patient getting a prescription filled or laboratory tests being completed.
4. Instant Outcomes: Medical 24/7 serves as the universal access control manager of health data and medical records, allowing simultaneous and immediate data access across multiple independent health systems.
Medical 24/7 approach to driving down healthcare costs is respected across the healthcare industry. It is recognized by international communities as one of the top 50 healthcare companies based on five parameters: overall reach, industry impact, the spirit of innovation, future-readiness, and market demand. Claver himself has been recognized as one of the top 100 healthcare leaders in the world. Both awards will be accepted in June 2021.
Claver is optimistic about the future of healthcare. “All that is required for a change is for people to decide to do something, and I see that happening. We are no longer willing to put up with high healthcare costs. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a wakeup call for the world. We are seeing changes in regulations that have been obstacles for the healthcare industry. I think between those changes and the innovations of Medical 24/7, we’re going to see a lot of amazing improvements in the healthcare industry that will ultimately make the lives of countless people better.”
Through Medical 24/7’s success, Claver learned a lot about entrepreneurship and the real meaning of success. “Success is the happy ending of failures if you keep on pushing forward. That’s why Medical 24/7 is here today. I struggled a lot but never gave up. I also tell new entrepreneurs that if they can think of something, do it. Get up and take action! I saw a huge problem in the healthcare industry and created Medical 24/7 to solve it.”
As for challenges, Claver laughs. “Oh yes, I have faced them. Every day! Like they say, ‘What can go wrong in business will go wrong.’ How you deal with challenges will define your character and determine your success. Medical 24/7 is doing great work, but I can’t deny that I have had to overcome my share of hurdles to get the company where it is today. But it is definitely worth it because we have important work to do.”
That work to make healthcare costs reasonable continues today. “Every employee at Medical 24/7 is committed to our mission,” Claver says. “We all want to spare patients the stress of receiving bills that cannot be paid. With every bill that comes down, I feel satisfied that we are accomplishing our mission.”

MMI uses our Inventory and Asset tracking software to ensure their important medical equipment is in the right hands. See why they trust ASAP Systems! We are the Complete Barcode Solution for any type of organization. See how a medical imaging company used our Inventory & Asset Software.
Mymedicalimages (MMI) provides a platform that allows patients and doctors to share medical images. They were founded on the idea that people should be able to view, share and manage a lifetime of medical images like they would with their personal photos. They needed a web-based Inventory System to help them keep track of their StarterKits, their customers’ information, and to automate their process.
Here are a few reasons why MMI loved us over our competitors:
Quick Support: “One of the main factors to choosing Barcloud was the fast response.”
Ideal Price Point: “their pricing aligned with our needs but still kept our demands with minimal compromise.”
Simple Barcode Solution: “The training helped us understand what we needed after explaining our product structure.”
User Friendly: “The WikiHow also helped us organize how the product will be handled.”
Saves Time with Automation: “Through their software we are able to see and understand how much is being used at what rate and helped us save a lot of time and money.”
