The two flagship models in the Lexmark GO Line series of small footprint devices – the B3442dw mono printer (£249) and the MC3326i colour MFP (£389) – are carbon neutral-certified right out of the box, with no additional fees to pay. Carbon neutrality covers the printers’ full lifecycle including production, transportation, use and retirement. The B3442dw is also one of eight models supported by the new Lexmark OnePrint Subscription service, which monitors and manages devices and automatically ships genuine Lexmark toner when a replacement is needed. www.lexmark.com Pay it again, Sam Subscription management and billing platform Recurly is now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, enabling Google Cloud users to integrate the solution with their own platforms, from within their Google Cloud environment.

Supported printers include HP’s new LaserJet Pro 3000 and 4000 series printers with HP+. These 35 and 42 pages per minute devices can also help protect forests through HP’s Forest First initiative. For every page printed for the life of the printer, HP will contribute to the restoration, protection and responsible management of forests in collaboration with NGO partners like World Wildlife Fund. www.hp.com In the Zone Logitech has launched new webcams and headsets designed to meet the needs of hybrid workers through a combination of business-grade quality, style, affordability and compatibility with leading conferencing platforms. Brio 500 webcams and Zone Vibe headphones also make it easier for IT managers to support remote and hybrid workers, for example through integration with Logitech Sync, which allows admins to update firmware and troubleshoot problems remotely. Both ranges are certified carbon neutral and have high levels of postconsumer recycled plastic www.logitech.com Intelligent healthcare Purple, the Manchester-based technology company backed by Sir Terry Leahy, former CEO of Tesco, is aiming to help the NHS improve service levels, reduce waste and cut waiting times with the launch of its ‘Intelligent Healthcare’ app. The asset tracking and navigation tool enables healthcare workers to keep track of hospital equipment and medicines through an interactive map and, if necessary, find their way towards assets with the help of the app’s integrated wayfinding. Purple says that nurses spend at least one hour of every shift searching for critical pieces of equipment and medication and that every year £300 million of medicines are wasted. Flat out brilliant Panasonic has introduced a ‘flat’ version of its popular TOUGHBOOK N1 rugged Android handheld for last-mile delivery drivers, warehouse employees and field service technicians. One of the thinnest and lightest handheld devices in the 4.7in category, the MIL-STD810G-tested TOUGHBOOK N1 Flat has an integrated camera-based barcode scanner and can also be paired, via Bluetooth, with a wearable barcode reader. For document capture, proof of delivery and webcam use, there is an 8MP rear and 5MP front camera, while an optional Pen enables more accurate signature recording and recognition capabilities. https://business.panasonic.co.uk/TOUGHBOOK-N1 From bedsit to worksit Jarvo, the self-styled Airbnb for work, is ready to revolutionise remote working after hitting its Seedrs investment target in just 42 seconds, smashing the previous record of 96 seconds set by Monzo Bank back in 2016. Through its platform and app, Jarvo aims to help householders generate extra income by making unused, work-ready residential space available to remote workers in their area. Founder Daniel Hillman said: “The traditional office space is dead, and while co-working spaces have opened up a world of collaboration, they also bring a host of challenges with them. They’re rigid, expensive and require lengthy commutes. Work in the future needs to be decentralised, diverse and truly sustainable.” Since it was founded in 2021, more than 1,000 homeowners have signed up to list their spare space on the platform; more than 13,500 users are waiting to discover new workspaces in their area. www.seedrs.com/jarvo/coming-soon
