About ReadSquared
READsquared is a fully customizable reading program platform designed for libraries and schools to boost reading engagement across all ages. It allows participants to log reading minutes, books, or other activities, either online or via its mobile app, and rewards them with digital badges, incentives, and prizes. Librarians and administrators can create year-round or seasonal programs (e.g., summer reading clubs, holiday challenges, or themed reading initiatives) and set up custom “missions,” reading lists, and community events. READsquared supports individual, family, classroom, or group accounts, enabling parents, students, or patrons to track reading activity collectively or separately. It features mission-based reading tasks, suggested reading curated lists, integration with library catalogs, optional game-style challenges (like Bingo or seasonal competitions), public leaderboards, social engagement via community-wide reading goals, and incentives.

Beanstack
Beanstack is an online reading-challenge and tracking platform that helps individuals, families, schools, and libraries track reading habits, organize reading logs, and gamify reading to build stronger reading habits and community engagement. It supports logging reading sessions (minutes, pages, books, or days) across formats, print books, e-books, and audiobooks, using tools such as a reading timer, an ISBN scanner, and progress trackers. Users can join reading challenges or readathons (e.g., seasonal, school-wide, or community challenges), earn digital badges when they meet milestones (like certain reading minutes or number of books), and potentially receive rewards or raffle entries depending on the challenge configuration. Beanstack supports individual readers, families, classrooms, or entire library communities; a single account can manage multiple readers, making it easy for parents, teachers, or librarians to oversee reading logs for children or students.

Renaissance Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader is a digital reading-management program developed by Renaissance that helps schools, teachers, and librarians manage, monitor, and motivate independent reading practice among students. Students choose books at their reading level and read them at their own pace. After finishing a book, they take a computerized comprehension quiz via AR to assess their understanding. Each book in the AR catalog is assigned a readability level (via the ATOS readability formula) and a point value based on length and complexity; when students successfully pass the quiz, they earn points. These points contribute toward personalized reading goals set by teachers. Teachers (and in some cases parents) receive detailed feedback and reporting on each student’s reading behavior, including books read, comprehension, progress toward goals, and reading volume.

incentX
incentX is an incentives and compensation platform that runs every incentive program off one spine: the ERP transaction. Sales commissions, rebates, royalties, chargebacks, billbacks, and trade promotions are calculated from the same invoices, orders, and credit memos your finance team closes on.
incentX reads each transaction once and checks it against every active program, so one invoice can drive a rep's commission, a customer's GPO rebate, and a trade promotion at the same time, with one audit trail behind all three. Plans are built in a no-code rule engine, reps and partners see payouts in real time, and customers and vendors submit claims through the Incentive Business Network portal.
Pre-built, two-way connectors cover NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and Sage, and incentX also connects to Epicor Prophet 21, QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho. incentX is SOC 2 Type II certified, and the average customer goes live in six weeks.
