### Sequel.io

Sequel runs webinars directly on your website and turns the engagement into first-party data you can use to drive pipeline, personalization, and attribution. Webinars Belong on Your Website Webinars shouldn’t send your best prospects to a third-party destination. Sequel delivers the entire webinar experience on your website, so traffic, brand experience, and conversion paths stay under your control. Webinars are embedded directly into your CMS, not hosted on an external domain. Registration, viewing, CTAs, and follow-up all happen within your owned site—keeping attendees surrounded by your product pages, pricing, and next steps. Instead of siphoning traffic away, webinars contribute to organic traffic, SEO, and conversion. Actionable, First-Party Intent Data Attendance alone isn’t insight. When Sequel is embedded on your website, it unlocks access to a deep data layer that captures how people engage during the webinar and what they do on your website before and after, creating a single behavioral record per person and account. In-event actions like polls, questions, CTAs, and watch time are combined with website behavior and post-event actions such as pricing page visits or demo clicks to create a unified timeline with clean, configurable data pushed directly into CRM and MAP systems—enabling scoring, routing, and follow-up based on real behavior, not assumptions. Faster Follow-Up and Better Attribution Sequel is built to shorten the gap between engagement and action. With real-time sync to Salesforce, HubSpot, and Marketo, teams can map custom engagement fields, trigger alerts and nurture flows, and tie webinars directly to pipeline and revenue—not just MQLs. It’s designed for teams that care about forecast accuracy and ROI credibility. AI-Powered Content Repurposing Extends the Life of Every Event Webinars shouldn’t end when the live session does. Sequel uses AI to turn every event into a scalable content engine—automatically transforming long-form video into high-performing assets that drive ongoing engagement and pipeline. Studio-quality local recordings power better outputs, while AI generates clips, highlights, summaries, written content, and chapters that break replays into navigable, topic-based sections. Sales and marketing can share precise moments instead of entire recordings, fueling SEO, nurture, and on-site discovery without post-production bottlenecks or loss of brand control. Built for Global Audiences Modern B2B audiences are global. Sequel makes it easy to serve international viewers without duplicating programs or fragmenting data. Live AI-powered translations with captions support multiple spoken languages in a single session. On-demand replays include translated subtitles, viewers select their preferred language seamlessly, and AI dubbing enables multilingual versions of webinar content—all within the same owned-site experience. The Foundation of the Intelligent Website Sequel is not just a webinar tool. It’s the starting point for making the website adaptive, personalized, and revenue-aware. Webinars act as high-signal moments to identify intent and interests. Engagement data feeds personalization and recommendations over time. AI summarizes, repurposes, and operationalizes content—setting the groundwork for adaptive web experiences by role, account, or behavior, and evolving naturally into a broader Intelligent Website strategy.

Retail point of sale (POS) software provides an easy-to-use tool for employees and customers, helping to complete retail transactions in physical locations (stores, showrooms, etc.).

By using POS software, retail employees can find information about products, create sales orders, accept payments, and deliver receipts in an expeditious manner. This helps employees perform more transactions in less time while customers benefit from shorter waiting times at checkout. POS software can also be used to provide information to customers on product availability, pricing, etc. Furthermore, retail managers can use this type of software to monitor retail transactions and analyze sales or inventory data such as volume, amount, or frequency. Some advanced POS solutions may also provide functionality to manage inventory or customer profiles.

POS software is usually installed on dedicated hardware designed and built for it. The main benefit of this type of hardware is that it provides users a tactile screen which simplifies navigation. An increasing number of POS solutions are now available on mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones. To deliver maximum efficiency, POS software integrates with ERP or inventory management solutions to exchange data on products, with CRM for customer information, or with other retail solutions such as supply chain and logistics. POS should not be confused with e-commerce software, either, which is exclusively used for online sales.

To qualify for inclusion in the POS software category, a product must:

- Provide access to information about products, inventory, pricing, or transaction history
- Allow customers to pay using various methods such as cash, credit or debit card, etc.
- Manage other types of transactions such as returns, sales cancellation, or exchanges
- Offer secure data access and functionality to protect sensitive data such as customer information and credit card numbers
- Include reporting and analytics to monitor sales indicators for each location, as well as returns or order cancellations
