IntegratorForté Outgrows GPA.

IntegratorForté Outgrows GPA. Forté and GPA will end their partnership at the end of 2026, marking a major shift in the global AV integration landscape. As GPA loses its largest member, Forté is accelerating its transformation into a fully global workplace technology provider, with further acquisitions expected. August 13, 2026 by Florian Rotberg Forté is leaving GPA, the global network of workplace technology and AV integration partners, at the end of 2026. The separation marks a significant shift for both organizations: GPA will lose its largest member, while Forté continues to expand its own international footprint, increasingly through acquisitions of former GPA partners. GPA and Forté announced that they have mutually agreed to conclude their partnership effective 31 December 2026, allowing both organizations to focus on their respective strategic priorities and growth ambitions. Since joining GPA in 2020 under its former AVI Systems brand, Forté has worked closely with GPA members to deliver multinational collaboration and audiovisual projects. The partnership enabled global customers to benefit from local expertise and service delivery across key markets. However, as both organizations evolved, their growth strategies increasingly diverged. Different visions for global expansion. The separation has been years in the making. GPA is built around a network of independent integrators, with members typically holding exclusive responsibility for their local markets while providing on-the-ground resources and support for global projects. Forté, meanwhile, has steadily expanded beyond the traditional GPA model. Through a series of acquisitions, the Minnesota-based integrator has built its own international organization, including the acquisition of several GPA members. In effect, Forté has been creating a directly managed global footprint rather than relying on a partner network. This strategy positions Forté alongside global integration heavyweights such as AVI-SPL and Diversified, while increasingly competing with technology service providers and managed services specialists including Ricoh and Econocom. At some point, the two models became difficult to reconcile. GPA's value proposition is based on a federation of independent local champions. Forté's ambition is to become a globally integrated workplace technology provider with direct control over customer delivery and service operations. Business continuity remains a priority. Both organizations emphasize that the transition will be carefully managed. Existing projects, customer commitments and active engagements will continue to be supported through agreed transition arrangements. For multinational customers, continuity is expected to remain the priority while both parties prepare for their post-2026 strategies. Who could replace Forté? The departure leaves GPA with a significant gap in its most important market. The United States remains the largest AV and workplace technology market globally, making Forté's role within the network particularly valuable. Several smaller US-based integrators may seek to replace Forte at GPA. Industry observers also speculate that companies such as Kinly could be interested, although Kinly itself has been building a broader transatlantic presence and pursuing its own global ambitions. Regardless of the eventual solution, joining GPA as the lead North American partner would represent a substantial opportunity for any integrator seeking greater influence in the global enterprise market. Forté's next phase. Forté will need to establish direct coverage in markets that are currently served through GPA partners. However, the company appears well prepared for the transition. The move aligns closely with the vision of CEO and Chairman Jeff Stoebner, who has been driving the company's international expansion strategy. According to industry rumors, Forté is expected to announce a major acquisition in the APAC region in the coming weeks, further strengthening its global delivery capabilities. The managed services imperative. Going independent is a logical next step for Forté as the workplace technology market increasingly shifts toward managed services. The industry is moving away from project-based installations toward recurring service models focused on lifecycle management, monitoring and user experience. As enterprise customers prioritize service outcomes over hardware ownership, traditional AV integration is becoming increasingly commoditized. Revenue growth is shifting toward long-term managed service contracts, cloud platforms and workplace technology operations. To succeed in this environment, Forté requires deeper IT and managed services capabilities as it evolves beyond a traditional AV integrator. GPA's federated model and its network of independent members no longer fully align with Forté's direction, investment priorities and global ambitions. After several successful years together, the decision reflects a simple reality: GPA and Forté have outgrown their partnership and are now pursuing different visions of the global workplace technology market.

AVI-SPL and Volvo Autonomous Solutions launch commercial autonomous freight operations.

AVI-SPL and Volvo Autonomous Solutions launch commercial autonomous freight operations. June 22, 2026 AVI-SPL and Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) have officially initiated commercial autonomous freight transport operations between Dallas and Houston. The logistics route utilizes the specialized Volvo VNL Autonomous truck, which is integrated with and powered by the Aurora Driver technology. The rollout strategy will help achieve optimum usage of the logistics corridor for different types of audio-visual electronics products by AVI-SPL. These include both new product deliveries and old product disposal through the company's recycling program for electronic waste products aimed at recovery of precious metals. Through the integration of driverless trucks in its supply chain infrastructure, AVI-SPL intends to invest more in modernizing its logistics infrastructure, with emphasis on scalability, reliability, and efficiency. "AVI-SPL is a leader in its industry, moving high-value goods where speed and responsiveness are essential," said Sasko Cuklev, Head of On-Road Solutions at V.A.S. "This collaboration shows how autonomous transport can help reduce transit times, improve service, and meet the demands of time-sensitive, high-value freight." Discover more The collaboration kicks off against the backdrop of various difficulties that the U.S. transportation industry is facing, among which include a driver shortage problem and reduced delivery capacities. In order to counter such limitations, automated vehicle technology is becoming more and more attractive to businesses that wish to strengthen their logistical capabilities. "Autonomous transportation has the potential to significantly reshape the future of logistics," said Tim Riek, Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) at AVI-SPL. "This collaboration allows AVI-SPL to explore innovative technologies that can help improve operational resilience, support long-term scalability, and strengthen the overall customer experience." It is also the case study for practical use of self-driving technology in autonomous trucking for commercial purposes in the busy commercial supply chain operations. In future, it is expected that the use of the self-driving software will be used to increase productivity, uptime, and security of the cargo.
