RainFocus Launches Sales Module for Event-Driven Selling

Published

on

The new module gives enterprise revenue leaders spend control, AE accountability, and cleaner data inputs for pipeline attribution

LINDON, Utah, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RainFocus™, provider of the next-generation event marketing platform, today announced the Sales Module, a purpose-built module that gives enterprise sales and events teams a governed, systemic way to run rep-driven event engagement. The module eliminates coordination challenges within event programs, including scattered attendee pass requests, limited quota visibility, and an inability to track whether sales reps are converting invitations into engagement. Organizations can now move beyond manual, siloed processes to create a unified strategy that drives pipeline and accelerates deals. 

How It Works
The Sales Module integrates seamlessly with CRMs like Salesforce, creating a bi-directional data flow that enhances pre-event planning, engagement during the event, and post-event follow-up. Sales representatives can nominate contacts from their existing book of business, build personalized event agendas for any attendee (including prospects and VIP accounts), track real-time engagement activity, and invite contacts to exclusive ancillary events. Event activity data, including registration and session attendance, flows back into CRM campaigns, giving revenue teams a clean, standardized signal for the attribution model they already run and providing a reliable trigger for post-event outreach.

What This Means for Sales Teams, Events Teams, and Leadership

A governed nomination and approval workflow so that account executives (AEs) can build curated experiences for VIP accounts.Quota and pass governance that allows leadership to, assign, and monitor pass quotas and attendance goals by team or region, for full spend control.Visibility into AE activity such as invitation volume, meeting-scheduling behavior, and which invitation strategies convert to event engagement, making event activity measurable at the rep level. 

Key Capabilities and Benefits

Governed Audience Acquisition: Systemizes contact nominations and approval processes, eliminating scattered pass requests. Business leaders can limit free and discounted passes, enforce quotas by region or business unit, and ensure controlled distribution. Events teams can then easily segment registration funds back to internal team funding.CRM-Integrated Nomination and Approval: Sales reps nominate attendees directly from their CRM book of business, track the nomination’s approval status, and send invitations to approved recipients.Rep-Facilitated VIP Engagement: Reps can transform contacts into engaged buyers by facilitating invitations to ancillary events, scheduling meetings, and recommending relevant content.Improved Attribution Inputs: By standardizing nomination, registration, and campaign-association data, Sales Module improves the quality of event data flowing into the CRM. It strengthens inputs available to the organization’s current attribution model without replacing it.Event Funding Engine: Sales Module enables direct tracking and attribution of event-generated revenue (e.g., ticket sales, internal department contributions) back to specific cost centers, creating a self-sustaining model for event investment.

Use Cases

CROs and Revenue Leaders: Gain visibility into pipeline criteria, track seat quotas, monitor sales activity relative to revenue goals, and connect event participation to pipeline through the current attribution model.Sales Reps: Manage nominations, invitations, meeting scheduling, and attendee recommendations directly inside their CRM workflow, optimizing event engagement strategy by understanding which contacts are attending and what sessions they join.Event Marketers and Leaders: Drive more event attendance, provide sales teams with actionable data, demonstrate tangible event ROI to stakeholders, and justify the total opportunity value registered for the event.Business Leaders: Set audience acquisition strategy, maintain awareness of pipeline accountability, and ensure visibility into AE activity relative to attendance and pipeline goals.

Executive Quotes

“Events are no longer a cost center with soft outcomes; they are a measurable, governed sales channel that drives pipeline and accelerates deal cycles,” said JR Sherman, CEO of RainFocus. “By bringing sales teams together with customer buying groups in a live environment, events provide the highest-fidelity touchpoints in the enterprise buying journey. RainFocus’ Sales Module gives sales teams real-time access to engagement behavior and buying signals, empowering them to identify and execute the right next best action for every customer.””For too long, events have been treated as a cost center rather than a growth engine,” said Marius Milcher, VP of platform strategy and AI at RainFocus. “We’re changing that narrative with the Sales Module. Governance, visibility, and accountability are now directly in the hands of sales and marketing leadership. This will fundamentally shift how enterprises think about event investment going forward.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Sales Module?
The Sales Module is a purpose-built module in the RainFocus platform that gives enterprise sales and events teams a governed, systematic way to run rep-driven event engagement. It integrates directly with CRMs like Salesforce, enabling AEs to nominate contacts, build personalized agendas for VIP accounts, and track engagement without leaving their existing workflow, while also giving leadership quota governance and activity visibility to ensure events are used strategically.

What specific problem does the Sales Module solve for CROs?
The Sales Module solves the governance and visibility gaps that make event investment difficult to control and justify. It gives sales leadership unified visibility into AE activity, tools to set and monitor pass quotas and spend by team or region, and data-driven insights to optimize how their teams engage at events. The result is events that are governed, measurable, and tied to a cleaner data foundation for any attribution model the organization already runs.

How does the Sales Module contribute to the attribution of closed-won deals from event participation?
The Sales Module provides a clean, governed data trail: registration, campaign association, nomination and approval history, sales-led activations at the event, executive meetings, networking activities, and more, tied to the right accounts and opportunities. That data strengthens organizations’ existing attribution models and lets teams see which activations show up most often alongside closed-won deals. When a business unit or partner funds its own participation, that spend is tracked against the account and deal, supporting straightforward cost-recovery reporting.

How does the Sales Module improve upon traditional CRM event integrations or manual processes?
Unlike traditional integrations that typically sync contact lists after the fact, the Sales Module introduces governed workflow automation across the full event lifecycle, including nomination approvals, quota enforcement, in-event engagement tracking, and structured post-event data handoff. This eliminates manual coordination, reduces data silos, and gives sales reps the ability to customize event experiences for their most important customers.

HOUSTON, Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creality, a global leader in the 3D printing industry, today announced the availability of the SPARKX i7 Nano, the latest addition to its i7 series. This desktop 3D printer saves space while delivering premium print quality across up to four colors. With a minimalist design that fits easily on a desk, the i7 Nano makes multi-color 3D printing more compact, affordable, and accessible.

Following the January debut of the i7 Color Combo, the i7 Nano is also built for smarter, more effortless 3D printing. It integrates AI-powered capabilities that simplify both creation and printing, including CubeMe for automatically turning 2D portraits into multi-color 3D models. A built-in 720p AI camera monitors prints for common failures such as spaghetti and air printing, while vibration compensation and dynamic pressure adjustment help maintain consistent print quality.

Beyond these shared features, the i7 Nano comes with an integrated spool holder and optimized filament layout, taking up less desktop space and making it easier to fit into compact workspaces. The spool holder mounts directly onto the printer body with a convenient snap-on design, eliminating the need for an external CFS Lite. This compact solution keeps the printer’s footprint small while maintaining a clean appearance without compromising printing performance.

Paired with the new CFS nano Kit, a small unit mounted on top of the printer, the i7 Nano enables vibrant multi-color printing with automatic filament switching for up to four colors. The CFS nano features a dual-motor system, with one motor controlling filament channel switching and the other handling filament feeding and retraction.

CATL and Quinbrook Build on Supernode Partnership Following Stage 2 and Stage 3 Major Milestones

Published

on

By

BRISBANE, Australia, Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quinbrook’s Supernode battery energy storage project has completed Stage 2 commercial operation and reached financial close on A$469 million financing for Stage 3, marking a further milestone in the phased development of Australia’s largest operational BESS campus.

With planned capacity expected to exceed 3 GWh, Supernode is supported by CATL as its core energy storage system supplier for all three stages, providing advanced storage solutions and lifecycle support to enable reliable long-term operation.

Located at Brendale, north of Brisbane, Supernode is adjacent to the South Pine substation, a key hub in the Queensland power system and the regional reference node for marginal loss factors (MLFs). This location provides a favourable MLF position and approximately 4,000MW of available connection capacity for phased expansion. The project’s development coincides with Queensland’s accelerating energy transition and the infrastructure investment cycle.

Stage 3 has reached financial close on A$469 million in debt financing, bringing total project financing across Supernode Stages 1, 2 and 3 to approximately A$1.2 billion. Across its first three stages, Supernode is set to reach 780MW / 3,074MWh. Capacity across the three stages has been contracted under long-term offtake arrangements. 

The long-term value of such assets depends on the continued availability, operational efficiency, safety and reliability of their energy storage systems. CATL has provided EnerC Plus systems for Stages 1 and 2 and will supply TENER S systems for Stage 3, establishing a consistent technology platform across the campus.

In close collaboration with Quinbrook, CATL has supported project-specific design optimisation to enable high-density deployment within the constraints of available industrial land. EnerC Plus supports back-to-back installation, reducing the required site footprint by approximately 20% compared with EnerC. Its integrated liquid-cooling system maintains an internal container temperature differential within 5°C and is designed to deliver reliable operation over a 20-year lifecycle.

CATL’s contribution extends beyond equipment supply. Under a Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA), CATL will further support the full lifecycle of the energy storage asset through condition monitoring, performance tracking, fault response and preventive maintenance to help ensure reliable long-term operation. CATL’s proven product performance, scalable delivery capabilities and lifecycle service model provide greater confidence in the long-term reliability and performance of the energy storage asset.

Tim Hornemand, Managing Director and Regional Lead, Australia, at Quinbrook, said:
“Achieving commercial operations for Stage 2 means we’ve successfully delivered both Origin-contracted stages on schedule, an outcome we’re incredibly proud of given the complexity of commissioning utility-scale battery storage projects in Australia. With Stage 3 now fully financed, we’ve reached another important milestone in Supernode’s continuing development. The ongoing support of our banking partners also reflects confidence in the Supernode project, our delivery track record and the long-term outlook for battery storage in Australia.”

Tan Libin, CCO and Co-President of Sales & Marketing at CATL, said:
“Energy storage is evolving from a standalone technology deployment into a strategic energy asset. The next stage of industry development will depend not only on technological advancement, but also on the ability to create long-term value through collaboration, innovation and scalable deployment. At CATL, we are committed to working with partners to unlock the full potential of energy storage assets and support the transition toward a more flexible and resilient energy system.”

CATL and Quinbrook are also working together on EnerQB, an eight-hour battery storage solution being considered for future stages of the Supernode development. The initiative builds on CATL’s role as energy storage system supplier across Supernode’s first three stages. CATL will continue to work with partners worldwide to deliver reliable technologies, scalable solutions and lifecycle support.

Nocpix Nature Launches Rovex, a Large-Screen Thermal Solution for Faster Bird Discovery

Published

on

By

LONDON, Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nocpix Nature today introduced Rovex, a lightweight large-screen handheld thermal imaging camera designed to help birdwatchers, wildlife observers, and outdoor nature enthusiasts find birds more easily in challenging viewing conditions.

Rovex brings a new approach to bird search by combining a 5-inch large display, wide-field thermal imaging, and AI-assisted tracking in a lightweight handheld design. Rather than replacing binoculars or other birdwatching optics, Rovex is designed to help users locate birds faster when low light, dense vegetation, or complex surroundings make visual searching more difficult.

A Wider View for Faster Bird Discovery

Finding a bird is often the first challenge. Rovex’s 5-inch screen and 17.5° × 13.1° field of view allow users to scan a broader area with each sweep while viewing thermal information on a larger display. The open viewing experience makes it easier to search for potential wildlife activity without being confined to a narrow viewing window.

AI-Assisted Search for Faster Discovery

Rovex’s AI Smart Tracking helps highlight potential bird heat sources and guide attention toward areas of interest. By supporting the search process rather than simply displaying thermal imagery, Rovex helps birdwatchers identify where to look and spend less time scanning areas where nothing is happening.

Thermal Imaging When Nature Gets Harder to See

When birds blend into dense cover or become difficult to spot as light fades, thermal imaging can provide another way to search. Rovex combines a 384 × 288 @ 12μm thermal sensor with advanced image processing, including R+ Super-Resolution, smart denoising, and target highlighting, to help thermal signatures stand out against complex backgrounds.

With a lightweight design of less than 290g, Rovex is built for comfortable outdoor use and extended searching. It gives birdwatchers a practical tool for finding wildlife that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Rovex marks Nocpix Nature’s first step toward making wildlife observation smarter, easier, and more rewarding — Smart Ways to Discover.

About Nocpix Nature

Nocpix Nature is designed for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts seeking more from their outdoor experiences. Powered by proprietary sensor technology and advanced AI image algorithms, Nocpix Nature develops intelligent, user-friendly observation tools that make it easier to discover, identify, record, and share wildlife moments. We believe observation goes beyond simply seeing—it is about building a more meaningful relationship with the natural world.
