– CANADA, Whitby – 360insights announced a $30-million growth equity financing round led by U.S. private investment firm Sageview Capital with participation from existing shareholders. This financing round will extend 360insights’ lead in helping global brands to maximize their ROI and improve the predictability of their partner marketing and consumer incentive programs.

360insights provides incentive management software and services to the appliances, electronics and technology, tires, bedding, automotive, telecommunications, flooring, HVAC, and other industries. Widely known, respected, and loved by many of the world’s leading brands for its Channel Success Platform, 360insights will deploy this newest round of capital to further strengthen its market-leading technology platform and pursue new market opportunities in this multi-billion-dollar segment of the business intelligence software industry.

“We want to help our clients make smart, data-driven decisions,” says 360insights founder/CEO, Jason Atkins. “This investment will allow us to accelerate the delivery of our vision to provide the only truly integrated partner marketing and consumer incentive management software platform in the world.”

“Brands need to know what works and what doesn’t, but the answers are locked in a paper prison or across multiple vendors. 360insights has built the only vertically integrated bridge from transactions to insights, by capturing the cleanest, most complete channel data in the industry. We are excited to see clients use insights to take decisive action for competitive advantage using our platform,” Atkins adds.
