Box, Inc. now keeps 9.4 cents of every dollar of sales after operating costs. Its operating margin over the twelve months to July 2026 is the highest in ten years, passing the previous record of 8.6% set in the twelve months to April 2026. The company ran at a loss for much of the decade. Its median twelve-month operating margin across 40 quarter-ends was a loss of 3.1%. Box is selling more at higher prices to existing customers while costs grow more slowly than sales. Its net retention rate rose to 106% from 103% a year earlier, and suites customers now make up 69% of revenue. The latest quarter's operating margin was 10.2%, up from 7.0% a year earlier. Management expects about 10.0% next quarter and raised its full-year forecast to 9.5% from 9.0%.

Mark43 and Box collaborate to keep digital evidence connected to the case record. October 19, 2026 Integration gives agencies secure, scalable control over digital evidence while simplifying how investigators access and share it. NEW YORK - Mark43, the leading cloud-native public safety operations platform, today announced an integration with Box, the leading Intelligent Content Management platform. The integration keeps digital evidence connected to the case, helping investigators access the context they need to move cases forward, while maintaining control over evidence, sharing and costs. Digital evidence is central to nearly every investigation, yet it is often managed separately from the Records Management System (RMS) and the case context investigators rely on. Body-worn camera, drone and CCTV footage, photos and other content can live across separate systems, forcing investigators to leave the case to find, organize and manually associate evidence with the correct record. Sharing adds another layer of complexity. In a Bureau of Justice Assistance-sponsored survey, 42% of responding agencies reported relying on physical copies to share body-worn camera footage with other agencies, while many digital evidence platforms require prosecutors, courts and other partners to hold their own licenses. As evidence volumes and retention periods grow, this approach becomes more costly, cumbersome and difficult to sustain. "Agencies are collecting more digital evidence than ever, and that volume will only grow as they increasingly use drones, sensors, video and other technologies in the field," said Florian Mayr, co-founder and Head of RMS at Mark43. "Investigators shouldn't have to conduct a separate search to find the evidence supporting their case. By connecting Box directly to the case in Mark43 RMS, we're making that digital evidence easier to access while giving agencies more choice in how they manage it." "Effective collaboration depends on people having secure access to the right information and a clear understanding of the context around it," said Sabih Khan, Director, Justice and Public Safety Business at Box. "By bringing Box and Mark43 together, agencies can keep digital evidence securely connected to the case record, creating a more consistent way for teams and external partners to access, manage, and share critical content throughout the process. This helps reduce fragmentation between systems while giving agencies greater control over how sensitive information is handled." Through the integration, Mark43 remains the operational system of record, connecting reports, people, locations and investigative data within the case, while Box provides the secure, scalable environment for the digital evidence that supports it. When an investigator opens a case in Mark43, a corresponding folder is automatically created in Box and labeled with the case number. With one click, investigators can move directly from the case to its corresponding evidence folder in Box without manual searching, tagging or jumping between systems. Mark43 and Box pair enterprise-grade security and compliance, including FedRAMP and CJIS, with greater agency control over digital evidence. Agencies can define who can view, download and share sensitive content and maintain a full audit trail as evidence moves through the justice process, helping support accountability and chain of custody without requiring additional licenses for external recipients.

Command palette. 4 hours ago LumenUs, a newly founded grief care platform, is leveraging artificial intelligence to automate the administrative aftermath of a death, a process that typically demands an average of 570 hours and places an immense burden on bereaved families. Founded by Sara Tashakorinia following the loss of her husband eight years ago, the startup directly addresses the gap between emotional grief and the complex logistical requirements that accompany estate settlement. Tashakorinia observed that grieving individuals are effectively thrust into the role of project managers without guidance, frequently encountering opaque pricing structures and unclaimed financial benefits. The platform operates in the immediate period following a passing. Users complete a structured onboarding process that gathers specific details regarding their legal, financial, and psychological circumstances. This data enables the system to personalize workflows and categorize tasks by urgency. By automating routine administrative functions such as tax form retrieval, insurance claim filing, and account closure, LumenUs aims to reclaim hundreds of hours for users. The architecture also identifies potential unclaimed assets, including life insurance proceeds and government benefits, which collectively represent billions of dollars in lost funds annually. Building trust around highly sensitive personal and financial data required a technical foundation rooted in security. Tashakorinia, a cybersecurity specialist, assembled a team comprising co-founder Sajad Mirzaei, a former engineer at Google and Box, and innovation scientist Larry Keeley. Development incorporates ongoing consultation with licensed clinicians and social workers to ensure the platform remains empathetic and legally compliant. The system deliberately avoids managing the emotional aspects of mourning, focusing exclusively on streamlining the mechanical components of estate settlement. LumenUs is scheduled to begin an early access rollout in October and has been selected for TechCrunch's Startup Battlefield 200 program. The startup's initial phase targets individuals navigating the immediate administrative collapse following a death, with long-term ambitions to extend support across the broader grieving timeline. By integrating automated document processing with financial discovery tools, the platform seeks to transform a traditionally overwhelming obligation into a structured and financially mitigated experience for grieving families.
