1. Functional Identity & Market Position
- Entity Class
- SaaS · Interactive meeting, workshop, and training software
- Country of Operation
- France · Available globally · UI in English and French
- Platform Type
- Web-based application — accessible from any browser, desktop or mobile, no installation required for participants
- Core Problem Solved
- Traditional meetings, workshops, and training sessions are passive, one-sided, and forgotten quickly: low participation, no decisions captured, no follow-up, no measurable engagement. Beekast turns every session into an interactive experience where every participant contributes, decisions and action items are captured live, and outcomes are automatically reported.
- Unique Value Proposition
- Beekast is more comprehensive than single-purpose polling or quiz tools (Mentimeter, Slido, Wooclap): it supports the full meeting lifecycle — planning, live interactive activities, asynchronous self-paced sessions, advanced analytics, automated reporting, and Master/Clone for standardizing recurring sessions. Combined with ISO 27001 certification and GDPR compliance, it is positioned for enterprise HR, L&D, and compliance use — not just one-off audience polling.
