Comeryx Launches as AI-Native MGA to Streamline Small Business Insurance; Secures $7.5 Million in Seed Funding

Led by Altai Ventures, the investment fuels an automated, wholesale-exclusive platform designed to fix the profitability gap in small commercial insurance.

Wholesale and retail agents avoid small policies because carriers and MGAs utilize manual underwriting at a cost that is out of line with small premiums.”
— Dax Craig, Co-Founder and CEO of Comeryx

DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Comeryx, an AI-native, fully digital Managing General Agent (MGA), today announced its formation and the closing of a $7.5 million funding round. The investment was led by Altai Ventures, with participation from American Family Ventures, Intact Ventures, Boulder Ventures, Arch Capital Group Ltd, and Echelon.

Comeryx enters the market to solve a persistent structural challenge: while the small business sector represents a $100+ billion opportunity, brokers and carriers struggle to serve these accounts profitably due to manual, time-intensive underwriting processes. Comeryx’s platform delivers an automated quote, bind, and issue experience, allowing brokers to service small business artisan contractors with speed while maintaining rigorous underwriting discipline.

Solving the Small Premium Unit Economic Problem
The company’s focus is the small business artisan contractor market, a segment comprising over 500,000 U.S. businesses with under $10 million in revenue. Historically, traditional carriers have been unable to manage small premium policies profitably through human-driven underwriting processes, leaving these small businesses underinsured and difficult to quote.

“Wholesale and retail agents often avoid small policies because carriers and MGAs utilize manual underwriting at a cost that is out of line with small premiums,” said Dax Craig, Co-Founder and CEO of Comeryx. “With Comeryx, we are bringing the AI-native infrastructure and disciplined underwriting necessary to serve this large market with the speed and ease brokers need to be profitable .”

Built for the Wholesale Ecosystem
Unlike insurtechs that seek to disintermediate the channel, Comeryx is committed to a distribution strategy that empowers the wholesale market. The platform is designed for exclusive distribution through E&S licensed wholesale brokers.

By utilizing a zero-touch workflow and analytics-driven pricing, Comeryx turns high-volume, low-premium accounts into a scalable growth engine for partners.

Investor Support
“CEO and Co-Founder Dax Craig is a serial entrepreneur with a proven track record in insurance having built cutting-edge companies Pie Insurance and Valen Analytics,” said Oleg Ilichev, Managing Partner at Altai Ventures. “His background of combining technology and analytics in insurance provides Comeryx a unique advantage in delivering the efficiency that the wholesale market demands.”

“The E&S market for small businesses has long been ripe for a technology-driven approach that doesn’t compromise on underwriting rigor,” said Mike Mansell, Principal at American Family Ventures. “We are proud to support redefining how these essential coverages are delivered to the small business artisan contractor segment.”

Experienced Leadership Team
Comeryx is led by a founding team with deep experience in insurance, data analytics, and high-scale engineering:
– Dax Craig, CEO: Co-founder of Pie Insurance and Valen Analytics.
– Elad Kolet, CTO: Former co-founder/CTO of Lively Hearing (acquired by GN) and engineering leader at Microsoft and Meta.
– Matt Frazier, Head of Analytics and Operations: Former Chief Analytics Officer at Pie Insurance and Chief Scoring Officer at Valen Analytics.
– Melissa Bernard, Founding Underwriter: Nearly 30 years of specialty underwriting experience at CapSpecialty, Freberg Environmental, and RT Specialty.

Availability and Timing
Comeryx is currently forming underwriting and wholesale partnerships. The company expects to begin issuing its first policies later in 2026.

ABOUT COMERYX
Comeryx is an AI-native MGA serving the Excess & Surplus (E&S) insurance market for small businesses. Founded by industry veterans in insurance, analytics, and technology, Comeryx uses advanced automation and disciplined underwriting to provide smarter coverage for the small business artisan contractor market.

DataArt Launches Artisyn to Help Enterprises Govern and Scale AI-Enabled Software Delivery

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — DataArt, a global software engineering firm that delivers breakthrough data, analytics, and AI platforms, today introduced Artisyn, an AI-enabled operating model that redefines how enterprises build, scale, and govern software. The methodology combines AI agents, unified project context, and reusable code foundations with enterprise governance standards — embedding intelligence throughout the design, development, testing, and deployment process.

Built with and for clients, Artisyn systemizes how DataArt invests in, applies, and evolves its delivery practices over time, bringing together reference architectures, reusable foundations and AI-enhanced workflows. The goal is to help teams standardize non-differentiating work while preserving full ownership of what makes their business unique, enabling faster, more predictable outcomes. Artisyn is designed to evolve continuously as DataArt’s teams contribute proven accelerators and AI capabilities to the delivery flywheel, ensuring clients benefit from cross-industry learning.

As AI becomes a standard part of enterprise software development, organizations face growing complexity around governance, auditability, and consistency across teams and tools. Many organizations struggle to apply AI consistently across the software lifecycle, from strategy and problem shaping through build and deployment. Artisyn enables teams to integrate AI into delivery work while maintaining oversight, quality, and regulatory alignment.

Designed for Modern Enterprise Delivery

Artisyn reflects DataArt’s philosophy that AI should support and improve how teams work rather than replace human judgment or creativity. It represents an evolving way of working with clients, grounded in co-creation and continuous learning, using AI to strengthen how software is designed, built and delivered to achieve business outcomes.

Backed by DataArt’s $100M data and AI investment deployed in a disciplined, demand-led way, Artisyn provides systematized delivery methods, reusable foundations, and partner-aligned reference architectures that support real-world enterprise requirements. It mechanizes repeatable setup, testing, and delivery activities so DataArt’s 6,000+ engineers can focus on architecture, user experience, domain logic, and problem-solving.

“We’re not trying to automate creativity or judgment,” explained Allan Wellenstein, Senior Vice President, DataArt Solution Advisors. “We’re automating the scaffolding work that has to be done anyway. Artisyn reflects how we build the future with our clients, learning from each engagement and applying those lessons consistently over time. It helps teams focus effort on what truly differentiates their business.”

“From an engineering standpoint, Artisyn embeds AI directly into the process for how software is designed, built, tested, and delivered,” said Yuri Gubin, Chief Innovation Officer at DataArt. “By systemizing repeatable parts of the delivery lifecycle, teams can apply AI in a predictable and governed way, while maintaining control over architecture, data, and the technical decisions that matter most.”

A Partner-Aligned, Multi-Cloud Delivery Platform

Artisyn works inside client environments and alongside the tools teams already use without introducing a proprietary runtime, control plane, or abstraction layer. It builds on partner-native architectures and best practices across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Snowflake, and Databricks, helping enterprises apply AI in ways that align with ecosystem-recommended security, compliance, and operating models.

Artisyn includes a set of practical components teams can use in day-to-day delivery work, including:

SDLC agents that mechanize setup, coding, testing, and delivery tasks — from story development and code review to DevOps workflows — across cloud environments

Foundations and business solution starter kits that provide reusable building blocks designed to evolve with client needs

Frameworks that support alignment, governance, and predictable delivery execution

Developer tooling and demos that support onboarding, reuse, and client collaboration

The platform integrates with major cloud AI services, including AWS Bedrock and Amazon Q, Azure AI Studio and Copilot Studio, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Model Garden, ensuring alignment with partner-recommended architectures, security practices, and operational patterns.

Governance, Compliance, and Predictability by Design

Artisyn was developed to address the realities of enterprise delivery, particularly in regulated environments. Rather than introducing new controls, it systemizes governance practices DataArt has applied for years. Security and compliance considerations, including ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, are addressed through established delivery practices and reference architectures rather than treated as add-ons. All implementations operate within client environments, ensuring that data and intellectual property remain under client control.

Evidence of Impact from Real Delivery Environments

Across projects using Artisyn-enabled workflows, teams have reported faster prototyping cycles of up to 70%, improved development efficiency of up to 30%, and higher accuracy in GenAI outputs, exceeding 90% in defined use cases. In cost-focused engagements, teams have also seen engineering cost reductions of approximately 15% and faster delivery timelines, depending on scope and maturity.

Today, it is used internally and in selected client engagements, including in regulated environments such as financial services and clinical trials, where governance and auditability are critical. These engagements build on broader AI adoption efforts across DataArt, where more than half of client accounts now use AI-enabled delivery and teams report consistent time savings from AI embedded in delivery workflows.

This approach was mentioned in the 2025 Gartner^® “How to Evolve Your Pricing Model for AI Services” report, which described Artisyn as DataArt’s structured approach to integrating AI into enterprise service delivery, reflecting a shift toward asset-backed, outcome-aligned service models.

DataArt continues to focus on building custom software for clients across industries, including financial services, healthcare, travel, and media. Artisyn provides the delivery foundation that supports this work, enabling teams to respond to evolving client needs, regulatory requirements, and technology shifts with greater confidence and control.

Nexla and Vespa.ai Partner to Simplify Real-Time AI Search Across Hundreds of Enterprise Data Sources

Native integrations reduce setup time and ongoing maintenance by making it easy to ingest, index, and continuously update data from enterprise systems

By partnering with Nexla, we remove friction between enterprise data and production AI search, helping teams deploy scalable, real-time retrieval and RAG systems faster”
— Jon Bratseth

TRONDHEIM, NORWAY, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Vespa.ai, the creator of the leading AI search platform for large-scale, real-time applications, and Nexla, the leading AI-powered data integration platform for agents, today announced a strategic partnership to address a key bottleneck in AI application development: moving production-ready data into scalable, high-performance AI search and retrieval systems.

With over 500 connectors, Nexla addresses this challenge by turning data variety from any enterprise system (structured/unstructured, batch/streaming, internal/external, modern/legacy) into ready-to-use data products for AI and Agents, while Vespa provides the distributed search, vector retrieval, and real-time inference capabilities required to serve AI-powered applications at scale.

National Cybersecurity Center Debuts Free Cyber Alerts as Part of Its Mission to Make Online Safety More Accessible

New Cyber Alerts support the NCC’s commitment to make online safety clear, trusted, and actionable

NCC’s Cyber Alerts are free and pair clear, non-technical guidance that explains the issue, outlines simple steps to protect against threats, and helps individuals respond quickly to urgent risks.”
— National Cybersecurity Center

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The National Cybersecurity Center (NCC) today announced the availability of Cyber Alerts, a new, free public-service offering designed to help people understand and respond to real online threats. Designed for individuals and families, Cyber Alerts provide timely, non-technical notifications of scams, threats, and risks, making the alerts easy to understand and act on.

As online activity increases, scams and digital threats are affecting people across age groups in the U.S. more than 18,000 individuals under the age of 20 and over 101,000 adults aged 60 and older have reported being impacted by online scams. Despite the scale of the issue, many individuals and families remain unsure of what actions to take.

“When it comes to staying safe online, it’s hard to know what’s real or who to trust,” said Dr. Rachel Gardner, Director of Product Development of the National Cybersecurity Center. “Cyber Alerts help close that gap by giving people timely awareness and clear, actionable guidance on what to do.”

Real-world Cyber Alerts People Can Actually Use

NCC’s Cyber Alerts are free and notify subscribers when scams, threats, or emerging online risks may affect them. Each alert pairs clear, non-technical guidance that explains the issue, outlines simple steps to protect against threats, and helps individuals respond quickly to urgent risks.

For example, a recent cyber alert issued by the NCC highlighted the leak of more than 149 million exposed login credentials, putting users of major platforms, including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Netflix, and others, at risk. The alert detailed a massive leak of 149 million unprotected login credentials — including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, iCloud, .edu, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Netflix, OnlyFans, and Binance accounts — and urged users to immediately change passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity.

Cyber Alerts include:

Notification when a new or emerging online risk is identified

A brief explanation of the issue and the potential impact

Suggested actions individuals may consider to help protect their accounts and information

Cyber Alerts are available to everyone for free as part of the NCC’s public service mission. Individuals can sign up to receive alerts by visiting https://nationalcybersecuritycenter.org/sign-up/.

Cyber Alerts Expand the NCC’s Public-Service Role in Online Safety

Building on its work across education, industry, and government, the NCC is expanding how it delivers timely information to help individuals navigate an increasingly connected world. Cyber Alerts represent the next step in how the National Cybersecurity Center supports online safety as a public service.

“Building a cyber-resilient society requires more than reacting to individual incidents,” said Greg Oslan, CEO and Chairman of the National Cybersecurity Center. “It means making online safety a daily priority, where people have consistent access to information they can trust as technology and risk continue to change.”

About the National Cybersecurity Center

The National Cybersecurity Center (NCC) is a nonprofit that helps people and organizations reduce cyber risk. The NCC makes online safety clearer and more practical by translating complex cybersecurity problems into action-focused guidance.

As a trusted public-service resource, the NCC brings together industry, government, and academic expertise to build cyber resilience and enable informed decision-making. The NCC leads awareness, knowledge, and solutions that strengthen online safety for all.

Winter Flat Roof Problems Can Turn Costly

Wolf River Construction Shares Prevention Tips for Homeowners and Property Managers

Winter flat roof issues often start small but can turn into major emergencies. Proactive maintenance and proper design are the key to preventing leaks, structural stress, and unexpected repair costs.”
— Vladimir Marchenko, President of Wolf River Construction

ISANTI, MN, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As winter conditions intensify across the Midwest, Wolf River Construction is urging homeowners, property managers, and commercial building owners to pay close attention to flat roof drainage issues that commonly arise during cold weather. Left unaddressed, these problems can quickly escalate into costly repairs, interior damage, and even structural failure.

Flat roofs are particularly vulnerable in winter due to snow accumulation and freeze-thaw cycles. When melting snow refreezes, it can form ice dams that block drainage systems, leading to standing water—also known as ponding. This excess water and ice places significant stress on roofing systems and can cause long-term damage.

“Winter flat roof issues often start small but can turn into major emergencies if ignored,” said Vladimir Marchenko, President of Wolf River Construction. “Proactive maintenance and proper design are the key to preventing leaks, structural stress, and unexpected repair costs.”

Common Winter Drainage Problems on Flat Roofs
• Ice Dams: Heat escaping from a building can cause snow to melt and refreeze at roof edges or inside drains, blocking water flow and forcing moisture back under the roofing membrane.
• Ponding Water: Water that remains on a roof for more than 48 hours—often due to poor slope, debris, or frozen drains—can freeze solid, adding dangerous weight and accelerating roof deterioration.
• Frozen Drainage Systems: External scuppers, gutters, and downspouts can freeze, causing water to back up beneath roofing materials.
• Structural Damage: Heavy snow and ice buildup can exceed a roof’s load capacity, leading to sagging or, in extreme cases, collapse.

Consequences of Snow and Ice Buildup
• Membrane Tears and Cracks: Repeated freezing and thawing causes roofing materials to expand and contract, leading to leaks and shortened roof lifespan.
• Interior Leaks: Trapped water can penetrate seams and roof penetrations, damaging insulation, ceilings, and interior finishes.
• Drainage System Failure: Ice expansion inside drains and pipes can cause cracks or complete failure of drainage components.

How to Prevent Major Winter Roof Problems
Wolf River Construction recommends several proven strategies to protect flat roofs during winter:
• Inspection throughout the year: Flat roofs should be inspected at least once per year for residential properties; twice or more frequently for commercial roofs. Be sure to inspect in the fall due to the debris that is produced then.
• Maintain Proper Roof Slope: Installing tapered insulation helps direct water efficiently toward drains.
• Keep Drains and Scuppers Clear: Clear debris before winter and monitor for ice buildup throughout the season.
• Ensure Proper Insulation and Ventilation: Keeping the roof surface cold helps prevent premature snow melt and ice dam formation.
• Practice Safe Snow Removal: Use roof rakes or professional services, avoiding metal tools that can puncture roofing membranes.
• Install Heat Cables: Heat cables around drains and in gutters help prevent freezing and water backup.

Wolf River Construction also reminds property owners that professional inspections after heavy snowfall or freeze-thaw cycles can identify hidden issues before they become emergencies.

Serving communities across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota, Wolf River Construction provides expert roofing, restoration, and emergency services designed to protect homes and commercial properties year-round.

RENTAL12 Earns Booking.com Traveller Review Awards 2026 Across All Properties and Marks Fourth Year as Airbnb Superhost

Owner-operated Sardinian host recognized across its full portfolio for guest satisfaction, consistency, and long-term hosting standards in 2026.

Awards matter,” Floriana adds, “but trust matters more. Every five-star review is a responsibility to keep doing things the right way, even when it is harder.”
— Floriana Panvini Rosati

OLBIA, SASSARI, ITALY, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — RENTAL12, Sardinia’s only fully owner-operated short-term rental company, has received the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards 2026 for every active property in its portfolio, reflecting consistently high guest review scores across the entire operation. The awards are based exclusively on verified guest feedback collected by Booking.com.

In addition, RENTAL12 has confirmed its fourth consecutive year as an Airbnb Superhost, a designation awarded only to hosts who maintain high ratings, strong response times, and operational reliability over extended periods.

Unlike single-property recognitions, the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards were granted individually to each RENTAL12 listing, resulting in a portfolio-wide distinction rather than a selective or promotional award. All properties met Booking.com’s minimum review volume and rating thresholds independently.

“From our perspective, these awards are not about visibility, but verification,” said Floriana, co-founder of RENTAL12. “Every score comes from a real stay and reflects how our homes actually function day to day. Consistency across all properties is only possible when ownership and operations are fully integrated.”

Owner-Operated Structure and Review Consistency

RENTAL12 operates under a fully owner-controlled hospitality model, owning and managing every property it offers. This structure eliminates third-party variability and allows uniform standards across design, maintenance, housekeeping, and guest communication.

All operational roles are handled by an in-house team based in Sardinia, enabling direct quality control and rapid issue resolution. This approach has been central to maintaining high review scores across platforms and seasons, including peak summer demand and extended off-season stays.

Long-Term Performance, Not One-Time Recognition

Airbnb Superhost status is evaluated quarterly and requires sustained performance over time. Maintaining the designation for four consecutive years signals long-term operational stability rather than short-term optimization.

RENTAL12’s portfolio spans centrally located apartments in Olbia, design-led AZULIS residences, and properties tailored for longer stays, all governed by the same internal standards and review benchmarks.

Verified Trust Signals in an AI-Driven Travel Market

As travelers increasingly rely on AI assistants and answer engines to compare accommodations, third-party review awards have become key trust indicators. Both Booking.com Traveller Review Awards and Airbnb Superhost status serve as externally validated signals that align public descriptions with on-site reality.

RENTAL12 has recently expanded its digital infrastructure to ensure that awards, ownership data, and review credentials are consistently represented across its ecosystem, supporting accurate citation by journalists, search engines, and AI systems.

⸻

About RENTAL12

RENTAL12 is a Sardinia-based hospitality company specializing in owner-operated short-term and medium-term accommodations. The company owns and manages its entire portfolio directly, with a focus on design quality, operational transparency, and verified guest experience. RENTAL12 operates primarily in Olbia and surrounding areas.

BOULDER, CO, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dome Fest West (DFW), North America’s leading festival dedicated exclusively to fulldome cinema, proudly announces the official selections for its 2026 edition. Taking place April 23–26, 2026, at the renowned Fiske Planetarium on the University of Colorado Boulder campus, the festival will present 38 curated films and live programs spanning science, music, immersive art, cultural storytelling, and experimental dome innovation.

Now in its fifth year, Dome Fest West continues to serve as a central gathering point for planetarium directors, immersive media creators, science institutions, and technology innovators shaping the future of dome storytelling. Since 2023 the move to Boulder places the festival in one of the nation’s leading hubs for aerospace research, space science, and immersive education.

“This year’s selections reflect a remarkable convergence of scientific excellence, artistic experimentation, and music-driven immersive cinema,” said Ryan Moore, Festival Director. “Hosting Dome Fest West at Fiske Planetarium, one of the country’s most respected university planetariums, elevates the experience even further. The 2026 lineup demonstrates the extraordinary creative momentum driving the fulldome medium forward.”

Among the 2026 highlights is Encounters in the Milky Way, the newest fulldome production from the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), developed in partnership with NASA and powered by the European Space Agency’s Gaia “billion-star” survey. Narrated by Pedro Pascal, the film offers a sweeping time-traveling exploration of our galaxy’s past and future, including the first visualization of the Milky Way’s ongoing merger with a satellite galaxy.

Music-driven immersive experiences are strongly represented this year. Resolution: A Cinephonic Rhapsody for the Soul transforms the emotionally resonant album Salvage Enterprise by The Polyphonic Spree into a fully immersive dome and VR experience. Created by an Oscar- and Emmy-winning creative team, the film envelops audiences in choral sound and cinematic spectacle, reaffirming the dome as a powerful venue for album-driven storytelling.

Similarly, James Hood’s Astronomica delivers a 58-minute orchestral visual journey created specifically for fulldome venues, while Kael Alden’s Space and Time channels the spirit of classic laser shows into a psychedelic synth-soul dome album designed to captivate late-night festival audiences.

Expanding the cultural scope of science storytelling, REMIXED: The Unexpected Side of Science, produced by the Museum of Science, Boston in collaboration with the Dope Labs podcast, reimagines who belongs in STEM through high-energy, culturally relevant narratives connecting science with art, sports, music, and everyday life.

In a more contemplative register, Qualia by sound artist Laura Inserra blends ancient ceremonial instruments, immersive visuals, and scientific inspiration into a transformational dome experience exploring perception and consciousness, highlighting the dome as both a scientific and experiential art space.

Additional notable selections include productions from Brno Observatory and Planetarium, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and NSC Creative, reflecting the growing global collaboration across science institutions, creative studios, and immersive production houses.

The 2026 lineup spans cosmic exploration, Earth science, environmental awareness, historical astronomy, and family-focused storytelling. Space exploration remains a central theme with selections including One Step Beyond: A Journey to Mars, spotlighting NASA’s Artemis program and humanity’s push toward the Red Planet; Space: The New Frontier, examining the rise of commercial space stations, lunar infrastructure, and the dawn of a second golden age of exploration; and The Last Symphony of Light, produced by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, envisioning humanity’s far future across cosmic timescales.

Earth-focused and environmental storytelling are equally prominent. Unseen Earth, produced by the Brno Observatory and Planetarium, reveals how satellite technologies have transformed our understanding of our planet. H2O: The Cosmic States of Water turns the water cycle into a visually dynamic dome adventure, while Voyage of the Stars connects marine ecosystems with planetary science in a family-friendly underwater journey.

Historical and biographical storytelling is represented by She Whom the Moon Ruled, which re-centers pioneering astronomer Caroline Herschel within the history of discovery, and Dinosaurs Under the Northern Lights, a visually spectacular family film set 70 million years ago beneath the auroras of prehistoric Alaska.

The program also includes poetic and experimental works such as Weaving Plasma, a mythic visual ritual by visionary digital artist Simon Haiduk; The Journey: From Formlessness to Form, a music-driven meditation on transformation; and Rapunzel’s Dome Dream, a lyrical fairytale blending hand-painted illustration with emerging AI-assisted techniques.

Dome Fest West 2026 organizes its 38 selections into nine thematic blocks, spanning four days of immersive programming. Each block is designed to showcase the versatility of the dome format — from large-scale scientific visualization and institutional premieres to boundary-pushing audiovisual art.

Located in one of the nation’s most active aerospace and research communities, Fiske Planetarium provides a powerful new home for Dome Fest West. Its advanced projection technology and immersive dome environment allow filmmakers’ work to be experienced at the highest level of fidelity.

“Bringing Dome Fest West to Boulder places the festival at the heart of one of the most dynamic science and space communities in the country,” Moore added. “Fiske Planetarium offers an extraordinary venue for showcasing the next generation of fulldome storytelling.”

All-Access Passes, providing entry to all nine programming blocks, are now available at [domefestwest.com](http://domefestwest.com). Individual block tickets will also be offered for select programs. Early registration is encouraged, as several high-profile blocks are expected to reach capacity.

About Dome Fest West: Now in its fifth year, Dome Fest West has established itself as North America’s premier festival dedicated exclusively to fulldome cinema and planetarium films. The festival serves as a vital gathering point for the immersive dome community, showcasing exceptional storytelling while advancing technical innovation and fostering professional collaboration. Through curated programming, institutional partnerships, and global participation, Dome Fest West celebrates the unique artistic and educational possibilities of the dome format.

MARKT-PILOT™ Launches MP ONE™, the First Pricing Performance Platform for Industrial Manufacturers

Software unifies market intelligence, pricing decisions, and performance measurement, unlocking the era of growth for aftermarket and spare parts.

MP ONE is the first solution that makes pricing performance an effortless, measurable, governed discipline, not a one-off exercise, and it’s the system manufacturers have been missing. ”
— Anurag Garg, Chief Product & Technology Officer, MARKT-PILOT

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MARKT-PILOT™ today announced MP ONE™, the first Pricing Performance platform built for industrial manufacturers. MP ONE fundamentally changes how machine manufacturers and their aftermarket businesses understand, manage, and continuously improve pricing outcomes.

The End of Static Pricing

Industrial manufacturers have long accepted a painful reality: pricing their parts portfolio, often 50,000 to 1M+ SKUs, means annual spreadsheet exercises, cost-plus guesswork, and hoping competitors haven’t moved. The result is what MARKT-PILOT calls the Static Pricing Gap: the dangerous divergence between fixed price lists and a volatile market that changes daily.

This gap has real consequences. Manufacturers leave margin on the table when they underprice. They lose customer trust when they overprice. And they have no way to know which is happening until it too late.

What’s Pricing Performance?

Pricing Performance is the discipline of continuously turning market intelligence and pricing decisions into measurable financial outcomes. Unlike traditional pricing tools that optimize a single step, setting a list price, running a CPQ workflow, or scraping competitor data, Pricing Performance unifies the entire cycle: intelligence, decision, and outcome, delivering clarity, confidence and impact for industrial manufacturers.

Three Engines, One Continuous System

MP ONE is the only platform that unifies market intelligence, pricing decisions, and performance measurement to help teams protect margin and drive profitable growth. It is a purpose-built platform composed of three integrated engines sharing a common intelligence and governance layer:

The Intelligence Engine brings together fragmented parts data across the business into a single, governed view (master data, classes and segments, ERP/CRM/CPQ context, sales history and order volumes), then enriches it with external market signals (competitor prices, availability, cross-references). The result is a continuously updated, SKU-level understanding of how the market and your business are behaving right now, creating the launchpad for price performance management; not a backward-looking snapshot from six months ago.

The Decision Engine is where pricing gets done. Teams design strategies, set policies, and generate governed price lists—whether using cost-plus, market-based, or value-based models. Every pricing action is traceable, auditable, and explainable, giving customers full confidence in their pricing process.

The Performance Engine measures the financial and operational impact of every pricing decision so customers know how their decisions changed business outcomes. It provides clear learnings so strategies can be refined and profitability can accelerate. “Pricing in the machinery industry has entered a new reality. Volatility is structural; planning cycles lag behind the market, and buyers expect B2C-level transparency,” says Anurag Garg, Chief Product & Technology Officer at MARKT-PILOT. “MP ONE is the first solution that makes pricing performance an effortless, measurable, governed discipline, not a one-off exercise, and it’s the system manufacturers have been missing.”

Why Now: Volatility Has Changed the Rules

The launch comes at a moment when pricing volatility has shifted from cyclical to structural. Tariffs, supply chain disruption, cost instability, and increasingly informed buyers now research prices with B2C-level transparency which have made annual pricing cycles obsolete. “With MP ONE, manufacturers gain the confidence to change prices when they should, and performance control when they cannot”, said Steve Fauth, Chief Revenue Officer. “That’s the shift: from pricing as an administrative task to pricing as a competitive weapon.”

Trusted by Leading Manufacturers Worldwide

More than 200 industrial manufacturers already rely on MARKT-PILOT’s market intelligence capabilities. MP ONE extends this foundation with decision and performance layers that customers have been requesting since the company’s founding.

Availability

MP ONE is available now for industrial machine manufacturers globally. The platform is offered in three configurations allowing manufacturers to start where they are and scale as their Pricing Performance maturity grows.
