Fifth Third, Priority and CSI deals put a premium on payments built into software

Fifth Third, Priority and CSI deals put a premium on payments built into software

Fifth Third led a strategic investment in Payload, Priority Commerce agreed to acquire IntelliPay, and CSI acquired Qolo in a series of summer transactions, PYMNTS reported. Together, the deals point to buyers valuing payments technology already integrated into the software customers use, not just standalone processing capacity. For operators, that means the entity holding payment data can change hands without the front-end software changing.

  • 01BCG puts software providers with integrated payments at 36% of small and midsize business acquiring revenue in 2024, heading to 45% by 2028, a benchmark for where merchant payment spend is shifting.
  • 02Finance and IT leaders at firms running property, practice management or utility billing software should check who actually owns the payment module in their contract, because that is the asset being bought.

System integrators decide whether factory tech pays off, Smart Industry argues

System integrators decide whether factory tech pays off, Smart Industry argues

Smart Industry's Sept. 9, 2026 piece argues plant technology creates no business value until system integrators fit it into existing operations and workflows. Its summer coverage on upskilling, institutional knowledge and a Deloitte and Manufacturing Institute technician report points the same way. The payoff sits in the integration budget.

  • 01Smart Industry's framing moves the buying question from which platform to license to who integrates it and how that engagement is scoped, which puts the system integrator line item at the center of the return rather than in implementation overhead.
  • 02Gartner figures cited by Quality Magazine show 24% of industrial enterprises using IoT have implemented digital twins and 42% plan to, suggesting most IoT-using plants still have digital twin integration work ahead.
  • 03The Deloitte and Manufacturing Institute report, as covered by Smart Industry, says AI can embed skills into workflows to address technician demand; the sharper question for a plant manager is whether that changes headcount or changes what each technician can cover.

ChatGPT test ads can invite users to chat with brands like Wayfair

ChatGPT test ads can invite users to chat with brands like Wayfair

OpenAI is now running ChatGPT ads that invite users to open a chat with the advertiser, with Wayfair among the first brands spotted using the format, Ad Age reports. Advertisers still receive only aggregated impressions and clicks. For retailers, the media buy now comes with a conversation to staff, while OpenAI's Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise tiers stay ad-free.

  • 01Conversational ads, as the Wayfair format implies, shift a media buy into a staffing/automation question: something on the retailer’s side has to answer shoppers.
  • 02Advertisers get aggregated impressions and clicks only; the conversational intent that triggered the ad stays inside OpenAI, so attribution will be coarser than keyword-level search data.
  • 03Ads run only on ChatGPT's free and $8 Go tiers. Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans are excluded, so licensed company workspaces should not see them if that policy holds.
