The new product line adds NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 certified stainless steel flanges to API International's waterworks offering

 TUALATIN, Ore., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- API International, a manufacturer and engineered solutions provider of standard and custom flanges, fittings, and piping components, has launched CleanLine, a new line of NSF-certified products developed for drinking-water and clean-water applications.

API International Launches CleanLine NSF-Certified Products for Sanitary Process Applications

Post this

CleanLine: NSF-61-372 Certified Products

The launch expands API International's existing waterworks and sanitary process components to support projects that specifically require NSF-certified components. CleanLine products are certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for drinking-water system health effects and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 for lead-content requirements.

The product line was developed in response to demand from customers sourcing stainless steel components for drinking-water systems that specify NSF certification.

"CleanLine gives our customers another option when a project goes beyond dimensional and material requirements and specifically calls for NSF-certified components," said Ric Henderson, VP of Sales. "We already serve the waterworks market with a broad range of AWWA and ANSI/ASME flanges. This certification allows us to support more drinking-water infrastructure projects while giving customers access to the same product knowledge, manufacturing capabilities, and service they already receive from API International."

For more information about API International and their scope of NSF-certified products, visit apiint.com.

Expanding an Established Waterworks Product Line

CleanLine adds an NSF-certified qualification to stainless steel flange configurations already familiar to waterworks distributors, contractors, municipalities, OEMs, and engineering firms.

The initial product offering includes flanges manufactured to AWWA C228, ASME B16.5, and ASME B16.47 Series A and Series B standards. Available configurations include slip-on, blind, and weld-neck flanges with raised-face and flat-face options.

Products are available in dual-grade 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel, giving customers options based on their water system demands. Both grades provide strong corrosion resistance and long-term durability, while 316/316L is well suited for systems exposed to higher chloride levels or more corrosive water conditions.

The current CleanLine offering is domestically produced, supporting projects with domestic-content requirements, including applicable American Iron and Steel (AIS) and Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements.

NSF Certification for Evaluating Chemical Leaching and Lead Content

NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 evaluates materials and products that come into contact with drinking water from a health-effects standpoint, including contaminants and impurities that may be indirectly introduced into drinking water.

NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 addresses lead content and is used to demonstrate compliance with lead-content requirements for products used with drinking water.

While a standard stainless steel flange may share the same material grade, dimensions, pressure class, and general configuration as an NSF-certified flange, stainless steel construction alone does not make a product NSF certified. CleanLine products have completed the applicable certification process and are covered under API International's NSF certification and listing.

API International's certified products can also be verified through NSF's official certified product listings.

Products for Sanitary Process Applications

CleanLine flanges are intended for drinking-water and sanitary systems across a broad range of infrastructure and equipment applications, including:

Municipal drinking water systems and distribution mains

Water treatment plants and municipal well systems

Pump, booster, valve and meter connections

Filtration, membrane, reverse-osmosis and UV treatment systems

Potable water storage and finished-water piping

Food and beverage systems

Pharmaceutical equipment

OEM water-treatment and purification systems

The product line includes AWWA C228 Class D and Class E slip-on and blind flanges, as well as ASME B16.5 and B16.47 Class 150 slip-on, blind and weld-neck configurations.

CleanLine also expands the types of projects API International can support beyond traditional municipal waterworks, particularly in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, sanitary and water-treatment equipment markets, where NSF-certified drinking-water components may be specified.

Supporting Standard and Custom Requirements

In addition to its standard CleanLine offering, API International can review custom flange requirements to determine whether they fall within the scope of the company's NSF certification.

The CleanLine launch is part of API International's continued investment in its waterworks product offering and support for drinking-water infrastructure throughout the United States.

Nura Studios launches Showcraft, a professional platform for filmmakers, animators and producers bringing AI into production.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nura Studios today announced the public availability of Nura Showcraft, a production platform designed to help filmmakers bring their stories from creative vision to finished production using AI.

AI is making images, video and animation cheaper to generate just as production costs rise and financing tightens. But generating shots is not the same as making a production.

Launching Nura Showcraft, a professional platform for filmmakers, animators & producers bringing AI into production.

Post this

Nura Showcraft puts creators in the director's seat, giving them the tools to shape their story and creative vision and carry it consistently from the first scene through to animation and final finishing, while orchestrating the latest AI models within a single connected production environment.

"AI can generate a shot. The harder problem is turning thousands of shots into a coherent production," said Sylvio Drouin, CEO and co-founder of Nura Studios. "Showcraft brings the structure and control of a professional production environment to AI, so filmmakers can focus on storytelling and directing rather than managing a fragmented workflow."

From direction to final cut

Creators start with a script, shot list or concept and develop their creative vision in a single environment. Nura Showcraft carries that vision through the production process, from storyboard and animatic to animation and final edit, keeping the work connected and organized along the way.

Multiple AI image and video models are integrated into the workflow, alongside ACES colour management with HDR/SDR output, and local real-time 4K upscaling coming soon.

Built for production

Showcraft is already being used on Rainbow Hollow, an original animated series by Noah Wagner, and Astro Burn, a vertical animated micro-series by HaZ Dulull, based on his game IP.

It is also being used by Emmy-winning producer of Bob's Burgers, Joel Kuwahara, as well as award-winning writer-director Jericca Cleland on her upcoming feature film, produced by Oscar-nominated animation studio Nørlum Entertainment and executive produced by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and his production company, Ill Kippers.

"Integrating Showcraft into traditional animation, with an artist-led, human-centric approach, opens new creative possibilities while cutting production costs in half—making independent films like mine possible," said Cleland.

Public Early Access

Nura Showcraft is now available through Public Early Access with one-time credit packages rather than subscriptions. Generation costs are displayed before rendering, and purchased credits remain valid for six months. Subscriptions and additional plans will launch October 6th, and credits purchased during Early Access will continue to be honored subject to their expiry terms.

Beyond Nura Showcraft

Nura API and On-Prem services enable partners to integrate Showcraft functionality and AI capabilities into existing production pipelines. Nura Atelier is Nura's AI-native production team, providing proofs of concept, onboarding, customization and animation production services.

About Nura Studios

Nura Studios builds technology and services for professional storytellers using AI. Its three offerings — Nura Showcraft, Nura API and Nura Atelier — combine AI-assisted technology with human creative and production expertise to help creators turn stories into finished productions. The company was founded by veterans of Unity, Adobe, Canva, Softimage, Roblox, and Apple.

AirDNA Launches Adapt, the AI-Native Revenue Management System for Short-Term Rental Operators

AirDNA

Sep 01, 2026, 11:00 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

DENVER, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AirDNA, the leading provider of short-term rental (STR) data and analytics, today launched AirDNA Adapt, adding revenue management to its product stack for STR hosts and property managers. Built with AI at its core rather than layered onto a traditional rules-based pricing model, Adapt weighs each listing's full competitive landscape using data from the 15 million listings AirDNA tracks, then sets nightly rates and minimum stays with a clear rationale for every rate.

Adapt was built in response to feedback from thousands of STR hosts surfacing a recurring industry challenge: operators often can't tell whether their pricing is working or understand why a rate has changed. More than 14,000 listings were connected to Adapt during private and public betas, which kept operator feedback at the center of product development.

"Pricing a property shouldn't require translating your strategy into dozens of rules and settings," said Rohit Bezewada, CEO of AirDNA. "We built Adapt around a simpler approach: operators set the strategy, and Adapt handles the complexity underneath. We believe operators should always be able to understand what the system is doing and why, in plain language they can act on."

Key features include:

Daily dynamic pricing: Nightly rates and minimum stays adjust as market and booking conditions change, with local event detection built in

Unlimited comp-sets: Auto-built, editable comp sets with historical and forward-looking performance benchmarks, plus a daily comp calendar comparing rates, minimum stays, and availability

Four pricing strategies: Operators set the goal, whether revenue, occupancy, a balance of the two, or steadier earnings from earlier bookings, and Adapt sets the underlying pricing rules to match, all adjustable

Performance dashboard: Tracks actual booked revenue, ADR, RevPAR, occupancy, and length of stay, benchmarked against the listing's history and comp set, with up to two years of historical performance

AI assistant: Explains why any given rate was set, tests alternative scenarios, and applies pricing changes with operator approval

"Good pricing starts with understanding what a property is competing against, and most operators are working with a partial view of their market," said Jamie Lane, AirDNA's Chief Economist. "We've spent twelve years building the full picture, which Adapt now puts to work on every pricing decision."

Adapt is available today at AirDNA.co/adapt and is free to connect, with integrations for Airbnb, Guesty, Hostaway, Hospitable, OwnerRez, and Uplisting, and more integrations coming in 2026.

Nucleus Research Releases 2026 Control Tower Technology Value Matrix

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

Leaders in the control tower market include Blue Yonder, e2open, Elemica, FourKites, Infor, and o9 Solutions.

MIAMI, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Supply chain control tower technology is increasingly converging across planning, execution, multi-enterprise networks, visibility, manufacturing, and decision intelligence. As organizations connect these environments, investments are increasingly measured by their ability to improve decision velocity, provide greater operational context, and reduce the financial impact of disruption.

The clearest ROI opportunities come from shortening the cycle between identifying an issue, understanding its downstream impact, and executing an informed response. Faster and better-contextualized decisions can reduce expedite costs, inventory exposure, backorders, customer escalations, and manual exception work while improving service levels, production utilization, and labor and asset productivity. Organizations can also increase operational scale without adding coordination resources at the same rate.

"Control tower ROI is increasingly determined by decision velocity," said Charles Brennan, Principal Analyst at Nucleus Research. "The value comes from identifying the disruptions that materially affect the business, understanding their operational and financial consequences, and acting while there is still time to improve the outcome."

Planning and execution are becoming more closely connected as organizations use real-time signals and scenario analysis to evaluate decisions around inventory allocation, production priorities, suppliers, transportation, and customer commitments. This enables teams to compare potential actions against service, cost, capacity, inventory, and financial objectives before execution.

AI is accelerating this progression by building on the predictive analytics, machine learning, optimization, and prescriptive capabilities already established in control tower technology. Generative and agentic AI are increasingly helping automate the work between insight and action, with software agents beginning to monitor exceptions, gather information, analyze shortages, coordinate with suppliers, evaluate responses, and initiate actions in connected systems. Adoption remains governed by financial impact and operational risk, increasing the importance of explainability, approval thresholds, auditability, and human oversight.

As the market matures, the strongest platforms will be those that provide enough operational context to determine which disruptions require intervention and help organizations move from delayed reaction toward same-cycle response, near-real-time action, and, where possible, anticipation of issues before they materially affect operations.

Leaders in the Value Matrix excel in both functionality and usability, offering comprehensive solutions that deliver high ROI and support large-scale adoption. Leaders in this year's Value Matrix include Blue Yonder, e2open, Elemica, FourKites, Infor, and o9 Solutions.

Expert vendors offer deep, specialized functionality suited for complex requirements. These include aioneers, Kinaxis, and SAP.

Accelerators focus on usability and ease of deployment, providing simpler solutions that enable quick adoption with less complexity. This year's Accelerators are Aera Technology, Lyric, and Pelico.

Core Providers offer essential, reliable functionalities, ideal for organizations with basic needs. This year's Core Providers are Centrum-AI, Cleo, Enmovil, Ergodic, and Syren.

Dyson GmbH

Dyson CameraJet: die erste Zahnbürste mit integrierter Kamera, die Zahnzwischenräume präzise erkennt und gezielt reinigt.[1]

Bild-Infos Download

Paris/Köln (ots)

Eine integrierte Kamera scannt beim Putzen die Zähne, erkennt Zahnzwischenräume und reinigt sie präzise mit einem gezielten Strahl[1].

James Dyson stellt heute in Paris eine völlig neue Art der Zahnreinigung vor. Dyson CameraJet ist die einzige Zahnbürste, die Zahnzwischenräume dank Kamera und Gap Optical Targeting präzise erkennt und während des Putzens gezielt reinigt4. Eine 100k-Pixel-Makroobjektivkamera verfolgt und prognostiziert Zahnzwischenräume mithilfe maschinellen Lernens und löst genau dort einen präzisen Strahl Mundspülung aus, wo er benötigt wird.

Entwickelt für saubere Zahnzwischenräume

Dyson CameraJet ist das Ergebnis von sechs Jahren Forschung, Entwicklung und Ingenieursarbeit, in denen jeder Aspekt herkömmlicher Mundpflege neu gedacht wurde. Während andere Produkte Zahnzwischenräume nicht erkennen können, gelingt CameraJet genau das. Bei klassischen Schallzahnbürsten kommen die Borsten auf der Zahnoberfläche oft zum Stillstand - die variable Schallschwingung von Dyson hält sie dagegen kontinuierlich in Bewegung. Der konische Strahl von Dyson ist zudem darauf ausgelegt, mehr Plaque zu entfernen und zugleich Zahnfleisch und Zahnschmelz zu schonen.

"Die Verwendung von Zahnseide ist mühsam und zeitaufwendig. Nur wenige von uns tun es, obwohl wir wissen, dass wir es sollten. Ingenieur*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen bei Dyson beschäftigen sich seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt mit Mundpflegeroutinen und der Entstehung unerwünschter Ablagerungen im Mund. Unsere Forschung hat gezeigt, dass Menschen die Bereiche, in denen sich Plaque bildet, regelmäßig auslassen: die Zahnzwischenräume.

Wir wollten drei grundlegende Probleme lösen: diese Zwischenräume sichtbar machen, Plaque entfernen und die Reinigungsleistung beim Zähneputzen verbessern. Durch die Verbindung von Kamera, maschinellem Lernen, präziser Fluiddynamik, fortschrittlicher Putztechnologie, Konnektivität und

Wi-Fi eröffnet Dyson CameraJet eine völlig neue Möglichkeit, die Mundgesundheit zu unterstützen." - James Dyson, Gründer und Chief Engineer

Präzise Reinigung, intelligent gesteuert

Putzen, Zahnseide und Mundspülung - seit Jahrzehnten besteht die Mundpflege aus diesen Schritten. Trotzdem folgen nur wenige Menschen konsequent den Empfehlungen der Zahnärzt*innen. Neun von zehn Personen verwenden Zahnseide nicht regelmäßig genug[1], und im Schnitt putzen Menschen ihre Zähne nur 45 Sekunden lang statt der empfohlenen zwei Minuten.[3]

Meist bleiben genau die Zahnzwischenräume aus, in denen Probleme entstehen und sich Plaque zuerst bildet, um dann zu verhärten. Bleibt Plaque längere Zeit zurück, drohen Mundgeruch, Zahnstein, Zahnfleischreizungen und Karies. Zahnzwischenräume zählen deshalb zu den wichtigsten Bereichen für eine gezielte Reinigung.[3]

Laut dem Global Oral Health Status Report 2025 der Weltgesundheitsorganisation sind weltweit schätzungsweise 3,7 Milliarden Menschen von Munderkrankungen betroffen.[2] Eine schlechte Mundgesundheit wird zudem zunehmend mit weiteren gesundheitlichen Problemen in Verbindung gebracht, darunter Herzerkrankungen und Alzheimer.[2]

Gap Optical Targeting

Die 100k-Pixel-Makroobjektivkamera arbeitet mit Gap Optical Targeting, dem KI-Algorithmus von Dyson. Der Algorithmus analysiert 28 Live-Bilder pro Sekunde, um Zahnzwischenräume in Echtzeit zu erkennen, zu verfolgen und vorherzusagen. Innerhalb von 100 Millisekunden nach der Erkennung steuert die Zahnbürste den Zwischenraum gezielt an und löst einen konischen Strahl Mundspülung aus.

Nur Dyson bietet eine Kamera mit Gap Optical Targeting, die Zahnzwischenräume während des Putzens präzise reinigt und so dazu beiträgt, Plaque gezielt vorzubeugen.[4],[5]

Dyson CameraJet arbeitet dabei mit 16 Millionen Codezeilen und einem System für maschinelles Lernen, das während der Entwicklung mit 470.000 Zahnbildern trainiert wurde.

Konischer Strahl

Die Fluiddynamik-Expert*innen von Dyson haben das Strahlprofil über Jahre optimiert, um Plaque effektiver zu entfernen. Für präzise Tests entwickelte Dyson gemeinsam mit der Fakultät für Zahnmedizin der National University of Singapore in einer fünfjährigen Zusammenarbeit eine Plaque-Nachbildung. So ließen sich Anpassungen schnell vornehmen und testen, ohne für jede Änderung eine klinische Studie durchführen zu müssen.

Herkömmliche Mundduschen verwenden häufig einen nadelförmigen Strahl, ein scharfes, durchdringendes Profil mit laminarer Flüssigkeitsströmung. In Tests mit der von Dyson eigenen simulierten Plaque durchdrang dieser Strahltyp die Plaque, konnte jedoch ihre Haftung nicht überwinden und sie nicht entfernen. Der konische Strahl von Dyson hingegen erzeugt einen einzigartigen, breit gefächerten, konisch geformten Sprühstrahl. Seine größere Abdeckung löst und entfernt Plaque auf einmal. Zudem ist er auf einen niedrigeren Druck ausgelegt, um Zahnfleisch und Zahnschmelz zu schonen.[6]

Anti-Schwerkraft-Behälter

Der kompakte 12,5-ml-Behälter für Mundspülung gibt die empfohlene Menge ab und ist darauf ausgelegt, die Zahnzwischenräume in einer Anwendung zu reinigen, ohne den Mund zu überfluten. So wird die Mundspülung direkt in die Putzroutine integriert.

Eine Membranpumpe und Druckkammer passen sich während der Anwendung an und liefern in jeder Ausrichtung kontrollierte, unterbrechungsfreie Strahlen. Anders als klassische Systeme, die nach dem Strohhalm-Prinzip Luft ansaugen und beim Kippen an Leistung verlieren können, minimiert der Anti-Schwerkraft-Behälter von Dyson Lufteinschlüsse und verhindert, dass der Strahl ins Leere geht.

Das ist besonders wichtig bei der Reinigung der Zahninnenseiten, wenn das Produkt häufig waagerecht gehalten wird. Der Anti-Schwerkraft-Behälter sorgt dafür, dass bei jedem Auslösen des Präzisionsstrahls Mundspülung gleichmäßig abgegeben wird - unabhängig davon, ob die Dyson CameraJet aufrecht, schräg oder waagerecht gehalten wird.

Ladestation

Für nahtloses Nachfüllen und Laden hat Dyson eine Ladestation entwickelt, die die Zahnbürste auf Knopfdruck in nur drei Sekunden nachfüllt. Zwischen den Reinigungen bietet sie einen festen Platz, an dem die Bürste aufrecht, hygienisch und griffbereit steht. Ein Reiseetui gehört zum Lieferumfang, sodass sich das Dyson Dentalsystem sowohl zu Hause als auch unterwegs verwenden lässt.

Bürstenkopf mit Doppelborsten

Zähne sind nicht flach, der Bürstenkopf von Dyson ist es deshalb auch nicht. Die besondere Form ist darauf ausgelegt, einen größeren Teil der Zahnoberfläche zu erreichen. Die Doppelborsten reinigen den Zahnfleischschrand präzise und entfernen Oberflächenverfärbungen für

weißere Zähne - dabei lösen sie Plaque, die andere Bürsten zurücklassen.[7] Die etwas festeren inneren Borsten entfernen Oberflächenverfärbungen, die weicheren äußeren Borsten reinigen den Zahnfleischrand sanft.

Ein Vibrationsdämpfer sorgt für eine angenehme Akustik und hohen Komfort. Eine Ziellinse erweitert das Sichtfeld der Kamera und unterstützt Gap Optical Targeting bei der vorausschauenden Erkennung in den Zahnzwischenräumen. Ein RFID-Tag im Bürstenkopf erkennt, wann dieser angebracht wurde und wie viele Reinigungen er hinter sich hat. Er weist Nutzer*innen rechtzeitig auf einen notwendigen Austausch hin. Mit einem neuen Bürstenkopf beginnt der Zyklus von vorn. Das Sortiment umfasst außerdem eine Sensitive-Variante für empfindliche Zähne und empfindliches Zahnfleisch.

Variable Schallbewegung

Während der Entwicklung untersuchten Dyson Ingenieur*innen Zeitlupenaufnahmen marktführender Schallzahnbürsten und stellten fest, dass deren Borsten zum Stillstand kommen können. Das heißt: Die Zahnbürste ist eingeschaltet, doch einzelne Borsten können sich am Zahn festsetzen, besonders in schwer erreichbaren Bereichen. Dyson hat daraufhin eine Putzbewegung entwickelt, die genau das verhindert.

Die variablen Schallbewegungen von Dyson verändern während des Putzens den Winkel und halten die Borsten kontinuierlich in Bewegung. Externe Tests zeigen: In schwer erreichbaren Bereichen entfernt sie bis zu 69 Prozent mehr Plaque als marktführende elektrische Premium-Zahnbürsten.[8]

Dyson Zahnpasta und Mundspülung

Dyson hat ein vollständiges Dentalsystem entwickelt, um die Leistung der Dyson CameraJet zu optimieren. Dazu gehört eine schaumfreie, SLS-freie Zahnpasta: ohne den gängigen Schaumbildner beeinträchtigt kein Schaum die Sicht der Kamera und Gap Optical Targeting arbeitet ungestört. Außerdem wurde eine schaumreduzierte Mundspülung eigens für den Präzisionsstrahl entwickelt.

Die antibakteriellen Mundpflege-Produkte wurden entwickelt, um geruchsverursachende Bakterien zu reduzieren, den Atem zu erfrischen und ein gesundes orales Mikrobiom zu unterstützen. Natürliches Glycerin bindet Wasser, um dem Gefühl von Mundtrockenheit vorzubeugen und ein glattes, hydratisiertes Mundgefühl zu hinterlassen.

Sowohl Zahnpasta als auch Mundspülung enthalten Natriumfluorid zur Stärkung von Zahnschmelz und Zähnen sowie Phosphate und Xylit, um die bakterielle Ursache von Plaque und Zahnstein gezielt anzugehen. Beide Produkte sind in den Geschmacksrichtungen Minze oder Ingwer-Minze erhältlich - harmonisch abgestimmt für ein ausgewogenes, erfrischendes Erlebnis. Für empfindliche Zähne steht zusätzlich eine Sensitive-Variante mit Pfefferminzgeschmack zur Verfügung.

Konnektivität

Dyson CameraJet verbindet sich per Wi-Fi (2,4 GHz) und Bluetooth. Die integrierte Kamera funktioniert wie ein hochwertiges Endoskop und ermöglicht Nutzer*innen in der Live-Ansicht der MyDyson App einen Blick auf Bereiche, die sonst nur Zahnärzt*innen sehen können.

Die Kamera läuft nur während der Live-Ansicht oder im automatischen Strahlbetrieb. Weder auf dem Produkt noch in der Cloud werden Bilder aufgezeichnet oder gespeichert; sie bleiben privat.

Über die MyDyson App erhalten Nutzer*innen Zugang zu geführter Reinigung, Anleitungsvideos, Einblicke in ihr Putzverhalten, Abdeckungskarten und personalisiertes Feedback. Die App hilft so zu verstehen, wo Nutzer*innen effektiv reinigen, welche Bereiche sie möglicherweise auslassen und wie sie ihre Technik mit der Zeit verbessern können. Zusätzlich können Nutzer*innen zwischen automatischer Erkennung und manuellem Strahlbetrieb wählen und die Putzintensität individuell einstellen.

Verfügbarkeit

Das Dyson Dentalsystem kommt am 1. September 2026 in Dyson Stores und bei ausgewählten Händlern für 479,- EUR (UVP) auf den Markt. Das System umfasst die Dyson CameraJet Zahnbürste, eine Ladestation, ein Reiseetui, Dyson Zahnpasta und Dyson Mundspülung - abgestimmt auf eine vollständige Routine aus Putzen, präziser Reinigung der Zahnzwischenräume und Mundspülung.

Die Dyson CameraJet ist in zwei Farbvarianten erhältlich: Ultra Blue und Ceramic Pink.

PARK CITY, Utah, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Avari, a vacation rental management company, officially launches with homes across 24 markets and a new vision for the future of vacation rentals. Built on a foundation of deep industry expertise, Avari brings a more thoughtful, hospitality-driven approach to vacation rental management designed to deliver stronger performance for homeowners and more personalized stays for travelers.

Formed in late 2025 following the acquisition of management rights for 24 former Vacasa markets, Avari officially assumed management earlier this year with an established operational foundation already in place, including more than 5,500 homes, more than 700 employees, experienced local teams operating within each regional market and thousands of homeowner relationships.

Avari is led by a team of leading industry experts and some of the most respected operators in vacation rental management including President & Chief Operating Officer Ashley Horsley, who has been instrumental in defining the company's vision and operating model. Horsley previously served as Chief Executive Officer at 360Blue, a luxury vacation rental manager in the Florida panhandle. More recently, she co-founded and served as President and Chief Commercial Officer at Key Data, the vacation rental industry's leading business intelligence and benchmarking platform. United by a commitment to data-driven decision-making, operational excellence and homeowner success, Avari's leadership team is setting a new standard for what professional property management can deliver.

The company currently manages homes spanning premier vacation destinations in seven states – Florida, Alabama, Utah, California, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington. Today, Avari further expand its Utah and Washington footprints with homes in Moab and Heber City, Utah, and the San Juan Islands, Washington.

A New Model for Vacation Rental Management

Avari aims to evolve vacation rental management by applying a more thoughtful, high-touch approach to the guest and homeowner experience.

For homeowners, this model starts with a substantial investment in revenue management and a more strategic approach to property performance. Avari has increased its ratio of revenue managers to homes 6x since launch, making this one of the company's most significant areas of investment. Dedicated revenue managers continuously evaluate pricing, occupancy, booking pace, seasonality, local events and traveler demand to drive more dynamic pricing that generates stronger long-term returns. Because these specialists are embedded within the markets they support, they can recognize demand drivers and market shifts that algorithms may miss.

For travelers, Avari aims to combine the comfort and flexibility of a vacation home with the consistency of a trusted hospitality brand. Each home is thoughtfully prepared for arrival and stocked with essential amenities, including linens, towels and kitchen and bath supplies. Guests also benefit from seamless communication before, during and after their stay; locally curated travel guides developed by Avari's in-market teams, helping travelers discover some of the best restaurants, attractions and highlights each destination has to offer; and a simplified checkout with no need to strip beds, take out trash or complete an extensive cleanup checklist.

"Avari was built to challenge the conventional approach to the industry by bringing together deep expertise, a service-first mindset and a commitment to innovation that drives stronger property performance while creating a better overall experience for guests," said Brandon Labrum, Co-CEO of Avari.

As part of its continued investment in the guest stay, Avari is exploring additional ways to personalize stays based on traveler needs, from enhanced in-home amenities such as beach towels and pet supplies to services that can help families secure items like cribs or car seats. The company is also exploring local and national partnerships designed to unlock added value for guests, including savings on local experiences and services, and plans to roll out a guest loyalty program later this year.

"We believe vacation rentals should deliver hospitality -- not simply access to a home -- and help travelers truly experience the destinations where they're staying," said Ashley Horsley, President & Chief Operating Officer. "That means continually investing in the details that make travel more personal, whether that's simplifying checkout, creating locally curated resources or introducing new ways to enhance the guest journey over time. "For us, hospitality begins with the human perspective, and our focus is on finding meaningful ways to make each stay feel personal and intentionally crafted."

Avari's ability to deliver this model at scale is supported by its combination of trusted local experts and sophisticated national resources. In-market teams bring deep destination knowledge and oversee homeowner relationships, property care and the guest experience, while Avari's national team provides expertise in technology, revenue management, and marketing. Together, these capabilities allow Avari to deliver a more personalized service for homeowners and guests while maintaining the consistency and resources of a large-scale hospitality brand.

Future Growth

Looking ahead, Avari plans to continue investing in hospitality innovations that strengthen both the homeowner and traveler experience while pursuing intentional, opportunistic expansion into mature vacation destinations. Alongside new markets, the company will continue exploring personalized guest services, strategic partnerships and new offerings and amenities designed to create more seamless, rewarding stays. Rather than prioritizing inventory growth alone, every home is evaluated for quality, character and guest appeal before joining the portfolio.

About Avari

Avari is a next-generation vacation rental management company redefining what homeowners and travelers should expect from the vacation rental experience.

JEFF CORWIN'S SOUTHERN WILD ON ABC STATIONS NATIONWIDE

Series Premieres Saturday, October 3

Watch Trailer 

NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmy®-winning conservationist, television host, and executive producer Jeff Corwin returns to national television this fall with Jeff Corwin's Southern Wild, a new wildlife conservation series produced by Hearst Media Production Group in an exclusive partnership with Lees-McRae College.

Jeff Corwin's Southern Wild premieres Saturday, October 3, and will air weekend mornings on ABC stations nationwide as part of the Weekend Adventure educational/informational (E/I) programming block (times vary; check local listings). 

Jeff Corwin hosts "Jeff Corwin's Southern Wild," debuting October 3 on ABC stations nationwide.

Filmed across North Carolina, Jeff Corwin's Southern Wild follows Corwin from the Appalachian Mountains to the Atlantic coast as he explores the wildlife, wild places and passionate people that make the Tar Heel State one of the country's most remarkable natural environments. Along the way, Corwin will search for bats and salamanders, encounter black bears, alligators and sea turtles, snorkel waterways in exploration of native fish, and take viewers inside wildlife rescue and conservation efforts happening in real-time. 

Joining Corwin in the field are scientists, wildlife experts and conservationists, as well as Lees-McRae College students, educators and alumni, whose hands-on work in wildlife biology, rehabilitation and conservation offers a window into how the next generation of environmental leaders is being prepared.

"North Carolina is an extraordinary place to tell stories about wildlife," Corwin said. "But what excites me most about Southern Wild is that we're not only encountering incredible animals — we're meeting the people who have dedicated their lives to understanding and conserving them and working alongside students who will carry that mission into the future."

"Jeff Corwin's Southern Wild gives us an extraordinary opportunity to demonstrate, on a national scale, why Lees-McRae is the premier institution for experiential learning," said Lee King, president of Lees-McRae College. "North Carolina is a living classroom for our students. From actively caring for animals at our rehab center and leading research at our nature preserve, to working with conservation partners across the state, our students are already leaders in wildlife sciences. To have Jeff Corwin showcase their work and studies is incredibly exciting for our college."

"Educating, informing and inspiring the next generation is at the heart of HMPG's mission," said Bryan Curb, president of Hearst Media Production Group. "Bringing together Jeff Corwin's passion for wildlife with the hands-on conservation work at Lees-McRae College makes this series a natural and compelling fit for our viewers."

For more than three decades, Jeff Corwin has brought audiences face-to-face with wildlife and some of the planet's most extraordinary environments, building a career that has made him one of television's most recognizable wildlife conservationists. Corwin has fronted more than a dozen television series seen in more than 100 countries. He holds degrees in biology and anthropology and a master's degree in wildlife and fisheries conservation and is a noted author, wildlife biologist and conservation advocate. Corwin has partnered with HMPG on several series including Wildlife Nation with Jeff Corwin and Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin.

HMPG's current program portfolio comprises more than 30 original series and hundreds of hours of content annually on leading broadcast networks and station groups and on connected TV and streaming platforms.
