Stitch Fix Introduces the 41 Hawthorn Capsule Collection for Teachers

Stitch Fix Introduces the 41 Hawthorn Capsule Collection for Teachers

In preparation for the new school year, Stitch Fix analyzed thousands of teaching-related client requests to better understand what styles teachers were looking for when getting dressed for the classroom. Nearly 65% of these requests mentioned comfort, while 57% included at least one practical requirement related to movement, coverage, stretch or pockets. In addition, more than one-third (35%) of requests asked for outfits, coordinated pieces, capsules or mix-and-match options.

“We know teachers want to look and feel their best in the classroom, and we created this collection to help them do just that,” said Amy Sullivan, Vice President of Buying and Private Brands at Stitch Fix. “As we looked at what teachers were asking of us, the feedback was clear: too often, comfortable pieces don’t feel polished enough, while professional styles aren’t designed for the realities of a busy school day. Our new 41 Hawthorn capsule collection was designed to fill that gap.”

The collection includes versatile tops, pants, skirts, outerwear and a tote designed to mix and match. Details like three-quarter-length sleeves to help prevent marker stains when writing on the whiteboard, along with practical layers for changing classroom temperatures, reflect the everyday needs teachers shared with Stitch Fix. The collection is available in sizes 0–3X, including petite.

Through September 8, Stitch Fix has also launched a special offer for verified teachers to receive $40 off their first Fix. Educators can sign up, complete their Style Quiz and verify their status through ID.me when placing their first order. To learn more, visit www.stitchfix.com/community/teachers.

Samsara Launches Fuel Command Center to Help Fleets Control Costs Amid Price Volatility

Samsara Launches Fuel Command Center to Help Fleets Control Costs Amid Price Volatility

New centralized experience brings fuel usage, driver behavior, routing, and card controls into a single pane of glass for operations and finance teams

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Samsara (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected Operations® Platform, today launched the Samsara Fuel Command Center, a centralized experience that brings its fuel management capabilities into a single pane of glass. It combines a consolidated view of total and recoverable fuel spend with intelligent fuel-stop recommendations in Commercial Navigation and Coast fuel card controls, giving operations and finance teams one place to identify waste, guide drivers to lower-cost fuel, and prevent card misuse.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260819105758/en/

Fuel Command Center

Fuel Command Center

“We used to worry about fraud all the time. Cards went missing, PINs were shared, and we had no way to verify transactions,” said Tim Weisser, Fleet Operations Manager at Milestone Home Services. “Now with Coast and Samsara, the system takes care of it. If the truck’s not there, the card doesn’t work. Simple.”

Commercial fleets have contended with sustained fuel misuse and price volatility throughout 2026, as diesel prices have moved by more than $0.20 per gallon in a single week seven times since late February, according to data from the Samsara Fuel Spend Index. The latest swing erased three consecutive months of declines in just four weeks, pushing diesel to $5.23 per gallon by the end of July—16% above where the month began—while gasoline climbed from $3.93 to $4.25. This unpredictability heightens the need for cost controls and presents a significant opportunity. Internal data shows that U.S. customers had roughly $2 billion in potential fuel-spend savings in the first six months of the year. The Fuel Command Center gives operators the tools to capture those savings as conditions change.

“Fuel is one of the biggest costs a fleet carries—30% to 40% of total marginal operating costs,” said Ryan Yu, VP of Product at Samsara. “Prices have swung hard the past several months, and when they rise, fuel fraud rises with them. Customers told us pump-price visibility isn’t enough. They need fraud, driver behavior, and vendor choices in one view, so they can cut costs before they add up. That’s why we built Fuel Command Center: to give operators and finance leaders a way to turn their operations data into action and find immediate savings.”

The Fuel Command Center centralizes the data and controls fleets use to manage fuel across three core areas:

See total and recoverable fuel spend in one place

Fuel Command Center gives operations and finance teams a consolidated view of total and recoverable fuel spend. It identifies where money is being lost across idling, fueling location, driver efficiency, fraud, and suspicious fuel drops, then recommends the highest-impact actions. Managers can track quarterly trends and act from the same dashboard—for example, by turning on in-cab idling alerts or adding preferred fuel vendors.

Route drivers to the right fuel stop with Commercial Navigation

Commercial Navigation extends the centralized fuel strategy to the road by building preferred fuel stops into a route before a driver leaves the yard, so drivers do not have to toggle between telematics and third-party fuel apps. It accounts for corporate negotiated rates, responds when fuel runs low mid-route, and reroutes to the nearest preferred station. In a 90-day analysis of more than 2,000 Samsara customers, organizations cut a median of 4% in fuel spend by fueling at preferred vendors.

Stop card misuse before the transaction with Coast

Fuel card misuse rises with fuel prices: a Samsara analysis found that detected fraud incidents increase roughly 9% for every $0.10 increase in the price of diesel. Through the Samsara Coast integration, Fuel Command Center connects card authorization to vehicle location, allowing fleets to manage policies in one place and block transactions when the assigned vehicle is not present. “After implementing Coast through Samsara, we saw our fuel expenses drop by nearly $15,000 a month,” said Kyle Stewart, CFO at Trades Holding.

While fleets cannot control the price of fuel, they can control more of what they ultimately spend, and by centralizing fuel performance, routing, driver behavior, and card controls in Fuel Command Center, Samsara gives operations and finance teams one place to manage the variables that determine that cost. The result is a more direct way to offset external price volatility with savings generated inside their own operations.

Bloom Energy Introduces Power Connect, Cutting Onsite Power Installation Time by Over 40%

Bloom Energy Introduces Power Connect, Cutting Onsite Power Installation Time by Over 40%

  • New deployment system moves critical electrical integration from the field to the factory

  • Standardized design creates repeatable model for large-scale power installations

  • American-made innovation will create new U.S. jobs

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE), a global leader in power solutions, today introduced Power Connect, a new deployment system that can reduce onsite power installation time by over 40%, helping customers bring new power capacity online faster and with greater schedule certainty.

As data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities and other power-intensive operations race to secure electricity, generating power is only part of the challenge. The infrastructure required to install and connect new generation can involve extensive onsite construction, multiple contractors and complex electrical integration, adding time and execution risks to projects.

Power Connect takes a fundamentally different approach. By moving a significant portion of this work from the construction site to the factory, the system standardizes much of the installation process before equipment reaches the site. Power Connect arrives pre-connected, pre-wired, tested and ready for installation, which reduces onsite complexity, improves deployment consistency, and accelerates commissioning. This is particularly important at a time when skilled electrical trades are in short supply, enabling available electricians to focus their expertise where it adds the most value while helping more projects move forward with the existing workforce.

“Power Connect is the latest innovation supporting our speed-to-power advantage,” said Joe Tavi, Head of Bloom Energy’s Customer Installation Group. “It reflects how we’re rethinking the entire power deployment process, moving complexity out of the field and into a controlled manufacturing process. By standardizing critical electrical integration, Bloom Power Connect creates a simpler, more repeatable installation model, helping customers move more quickly from project approval to electrons flowing.”

Manufactured and assembled in the United States through Bloom’s network, Power Connect extends the company’s commitment to American innovation and domestic manufacturing.

About Bloom Energy

Bloom Energy empowers enterprises to meet soaring energy demands and responsibly take charge of their power needs. The company’s fuel cell systems provide ultra-resilient, clean and highly scalable onsite electricity for Fortune 500 customers around the world, including data centers, semiconductor manufacturing, large utilities, and other commercial and industrial sectors, as well as mission-critical organizations in local communities such as hospitals, college campuses and retailers. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Bloom Energy employs more than 2,000 people worldwide and manufactures its systems in the United States. For more information, visit Bloom Energy.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the amount of reduction in onsite power installation time, the ability to bring new power capacity online faster with greater schedule certainty, the reduction in onsite complexity, improvement in deployment consistency, the acceleration of commissioning, and the creation of new U.S. jobs.

More information on potential risks and uncertainties that may impact Bloom’s business are set forth in Bloom’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2026, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, filed with the SEC on April 29, 2026 and July 28, 2026, respectively, as well as subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC.
