Infios, a global leader in intelligent supply chain execution, today released a new industry report revealing a significant opportunity for companies to strengthen consumer relationships through strategic realignment.

"Our research highlights a clear path forward for supply chain leaders," said Richard Stewart, EVP of Industry & Product Strategy at Infios. "Companies that bridge the divide between operational performance and what consumers truly value will differentiate themselves in the market. This isn't just a challenge, it's a blueprint for building lasting customer relationships and driving growth."

The Infios report concludes that recognizing the disparities between executive and consumer priorities establishes a clear path for improved outcomes. While leaders currently focus on loyalty (88%), speed (66%), transparency (44%) and low cost (38%), consumers themselves prioritize quality (58%) as their #1 loyalty factor with 29% willing to switch brands if quality drops. The study suggests that companies that reframe their investments to better reflect what consumers truly value, will be best positioned to strengthen loyalty and expand market share.

The State of Supply Chain: Truth or Trend? report identifies key opportunity areas:

"The opportunity here is tremendous," Infios's Stewart added. "Our research shows companies are investing in the right capabilities. Leaders who take the next step—listening to what consumers actually care about and delivering on those priorities—will build deeper trust and create sustainable competitive advantages. The roadmap is clear; now it's about intelligent execution."

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 2, 2026--

Hart InterCivic today announced that its Verity Vanguard voting system has been certified for use in the State of Texas, marking an important milestone for the nation’s first voting system to earn certification to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s (EAC) Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0.

Hart InterCivic extends its appreciation to the Texas Secretary of State’s office for its leadership and diligence throughout the certification process. The certification of Verity Vanguard reflects the Secretary of State’s commitment to ensuring that all Texas voters have access to election technology that meets the highest standards for security, reliability, and transparency, helping strengthen voter confidence in the election process statewide.

“Texas election officials now have access to advanced voting system technology that reflects the highest standards of security and integrity,” said Julie Mathis, CEO of Hart InterCivic. “This certification reflects our commitment to defense‑in‑depth security, transparency, and post‑election verification.”

A Rigorous, Independent Certification Process

Texas conducts one of the most thorough state certification processes in the nation. In addition to comprehensive federal testing and certification performed by the EAC and an independent Voting System Test Laboratory, Texas requires its own extensive review by a team of independent examiners. This dual‑layered process ensures that every component of a voting system is scrutinized for security, accuracy, reliability, and accessibility.

Hart’s Latest Generation of Security and Auditability

Verity Vanguard represents a new generation of election technology, built on the proven foundation of the Verity Voting system, which is currently deployed in more than 800 jurisdictions nationwide, to meet modern security challenges and evolving voter expectations.

Verity Vanguard’s security is guided by three core design principles, Secure by Design, Secure by Default, and Secure by Validation™, which inform how the system is architected, configured, and verified throughout the election lifecycle.

Key security and integrity features include:

Expanding Nationwide Availability

With Texas certification, Verity Vanguard is now approved for use in six states, with additional state certifications underway.

“Being first to VVSG 2.0 federal certification was only the beginning,” said Mathis. “With Texas approval, we’re excited to make this next‑generation technology available to our customers here in our home state.”
