Funraise Launches Integrated Events Suite to End Nonprofit Data Silos

Costa Mesa, Calif. – September 17, 2026 -- Funraise has launched Funraise Events, an integrated fundraising events suite that connects ticketing, auctions, and guest check-in directly to a nonprofit's donor management system, eliminating the manual data re-entry that has long plagued post-event reconciliation.

Funraise builds a single workflow to replace disconnected point solutions

The platform unifies ticketing and registration, table management, live auctions, paddle raises, and real-time reporting into one system tied to a nonprofit's existing donor CRM, campaign sites, and email/SMS communications.

SIQA Launches AI Music Verification Registry, Sets LA Awards Show

Los Angeles – September 17, 2026 -- The Sonic Intelligence Academy Inc. (SIQA) has launched the SIQA Verified Registry, a system that lets artists verify the provenance of AI-generated tracks before release rather than face flagging after distribution.

Registry classifies tracks under three categories to fight platform confusion

The SIQA Verified Registry sorts music under the SIQA Classification Framework into three tiers: Fully AI-Generated, AI-Assisted, or Human + AI Hybrid, the latter covering techniques such as vocal cloning. The system moves beyond the generic 'AI-Generated' label now used across streaming platforms including Spotify and Deezer, where AI-made tracks have proliferated faster than the industry can track, according to reporting from Billboard and Music Business Worldwide. SIQA's stated approach is 'Verified, Not Flagged,' positioning verification as a credential artists can carry rather than a dispute they must fight.

CF Connect PLUS captures water temperature at the point of use, not just at centralized equipment

That data is relayed to a CF Connect PLUS Gateway, which communicates with the BAS using the BACnet/IP protocol.

Mews Launches Unified POS System for US, Canada Hotels

New York – September 17, 2026 -- Mews has launched Mews POS in the United States and Canada, allowing hotels to run property management, food and beverage operations and payments on a single system. The platform, already live in more than 20 countries across Europe and APAC since its 2024 introduction, connects every order, charge and guest interaction automatically across a property.

Staff typically spend two hours a day manually reconciling POS, property management and accounting systems, according to Mews. Revenue losses stem from manual posting errors, missed checkouts and gaps between disconnected software APIs.
