DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ScaleWith, Inc., a market-making SaaS technology company that embeds social impact funding into B2B and public sector transactions, today announced the formation of its Customer Advisory Board (CAB) to advance industry standards for measurement, reporting, and verification of social impact and corporate ESG initiatives. Consisting of leading organizations using ScaleWith’s SellWith and BuyWith SaaS products, the CAB will also serve as a dedicated forum to provide user feedback and insights that will help develop customer enhancements; and drive product innovation, platform solutions, and service levels.
In addition to the formation of its CAB, ScaleWith also today announced the formation of its Technical Advisory Board (TAB) to provide expertise and resources to shape product and technology roadmaps to enhance the efficacy and transparency of social impact and corporate ESG initiatives. Comprised of technical experts working with customers to deploy ScaleWith’s SellWith and BuyWith products, the TAB will also function as a dedicated forum for technical partners and system integrators to share valuable insights that will inform ScaleWith’s future product roadmap and technical standards for social impact measurement and reporting.
ScaleWith transforms social impact from a cost center into a revenue generator by embedding new funding for sustainability and social impact into B2B and public sector transactions. Spun out of CBS Corporation in connection with CBS’ merger with Viacom, ScaleWith incorporates social impact funding (e.g., support for programs addressing Climate/Sustainability, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Net Zero, Veterans/First Responders, and STEAM Workforce Development) into B2B and public sector transactions as a differentiator for sales teams and as a value-add for procurement teams.
ScaleWith does not replace or compete with existing CSR/philanthropy investments, instead ScaleWith’s products create new funding streams that augment and increase the return on corporate social impact initiatives.
ScaleWith’s SaaS products include:
SellWith for Salesforce
- SellWith Pro > social impact funding platform for small and fast-growing businesses looking to efficiently use social impact funding as an additional incentive in commercial transactions;
- SellWith Select > social impact funding platform with an enhanced recommendation engine for ScaleWith’s proprietary network of social impact partners; and
- SellWith Enterprise > social impact funding platform with an advanced recommendation engine and access to ScaleWith’s award-winning engagement content library.
Integrated directly with Salesforce, SellWith is now available to Sales Cloud customers on the AppExchange at www.appexchange.com.
BuyWith
- Businesses and public sector entities can leverage their purchasing power in transactions by embedding social impact funding into their RFP award criteria.
Customers using SellWith and BuyWith are able to select social impact funding recipients from GiveWith, ScaleWith’s proprietary network of 140+ Social Impact Partners delivering 400+ programs worldwide. ScaleWith’s proprietary methodology utilizes A.I., investor disclosures, and ESG commitments to provide insights into buyers’ social impact priorities and identifies matching impact partners and programs. ScaleWith also closely tracks and quantifies social impact funding results through reports tied to KPIs that can be shared with stakeholders. ScaleWith’s prolific studio-quality content library of media assets enable customers to communicate and highlight their impact with customers, employees, suppliers, and investors.
ScaleWith customers and technology partners include Accenture, Coforge, Deloitte, IBM, Paramount, Salesforce, Thunder, TimeCO2, and Xoriant. Additional appointments to ScaleWith’s CAB and TAB are expected in the coming weeks.
Since last year, ScaleWith has been working with former Ohio Governor, John Kasich, to refine BuyWith’s product features to address the needs of local and state governments, as well as public sector entities in higher education and health services. ScaleWith has piloted BuyWith in the state of Ohio and is expected to rollout to public sector entities nationwide later this spring, enabling public sector entities across the country to leverage their purchasing power by embedding funding for social impact projects that benefit local communities into their RFP award criteria.
