Finding the right software for your business just got easier. We're constantly expanding our marketplace to reflect how modern teams actually work — and today, we're excited to introduce six new software categories designed to help you discover tools faster, compare smarter, and buy with confidence.
Whether you're sourcing solutions for a growing team or evaluating enterprise-wide platforms, these new categories bring more structure to your search — so the right software finds you, not the other way around.
1. Club Management
About this category: Club management software helps sports clubs, country clubs, fitness centers, alumni clubs, and youth organizations streamline the administrative, financial, and member engagement functions of clubs and organizations centered around physical activities, recreation, instruction, or shared community experiences. These platforms support day-to-day operations, such as membership tracking, dues collection, event scheduling, communication, and facility management.
Why it was introduced: “Clubs and professional associations have differing needs from software that helps manage these organizations. Members, as well as club leadership and staff, gain the ability to conduct administrative tasks and keep up to date with club events all in one platform.”

2. Agentic Analytics Platforms
About this category: Agentic analytics platforms use autonomous AI agents to analyze data, uncover insights, and trigger actions — without requiring users to ask questions or run reports. These tools go beyond traditional analytics by combining reasoning, decision-making, and workflow execution in a single system.
Why it was introduced: “As businesses seek faster, more intelligent decision-making, Agentic Analytics emerges as the next evolution in data intelligence. Agentic Analytics marks a shift from dashboards to decisions — where AI agents don’t just surface insights, they act on them. This category reflects the growing demand for analytics that’s not just intelligent, but autonomous.”

3. I-9 Compliance
About this category: I-9 compliance software automates the completion, storage, and management of Form I-9 — the federal document U.S. employers must use to verify a new hire's work eligibility. These solutions guide employees and HR staff through form completion, flag errors, and maintain audit-ready records in accordance with USCIS retention requirements.
Why it was introduced: “As regulatory scrutiny around employment verification intensifies, organizations are moving away from manual I-9 processes that leave them exposed to costly errors and audit failures. I-9 compliance software helps HR and compliance teams streamline verification workflows, automate E-Verify submissions, and support remote onboarding — reducing risk while keeping pace with a distributed workforce."

4. Energy Site Selection
About this category: Energy site selection tools help identify, evaluate, and compare potential locations for energy infrastructure projects. These platforms centralize geospatial, grid, land, and environmental data to support early-stage feasibility and site screening. By streamlining analysis, they enable faster and more informed siting decisions.
Why it was introduced: "As developers expand projects across new regions and face tighter grid and permitting constraints, evaluating site viability early has become increasingly important. Energy site selection tools emerged to centralize critical data and reduce the risks associated with manual, fragmented site analysis."

5. Permit to Work
About this category: Permit to Work (PTW) software enables organizations to digitally manage and control high-risk work activities through the issuance, tracking, and closure of work permits. It provides a formalized system to authorize work processes that pose safety, health, or environmental risks, such as maintenance, hot work, confined space entry, electrical isolation, or working at height. PTW software ensures that necessary safety procedures, risk assessments, and approvals are completed before work begins.
Why it was introduced: “PTW software plays a vital role in keeping people safe during high-risk activities. This new G2 category makes it easier for businesses to find solutions that digitize permits, enforce safety checks, integrate with EHS software, and provide real-time oversight. These capabilities help organizations improve compliance, reduce incidents, and maintain consistent safety standards across sites.”

6. AI Grading Tools
About this category: AI grading tools help educational institutions evaluate student work — such as assignments, quizzes, essays, and exams — using artificial intelligence. These platforms automate scoring and assist with feedback, helping institutions reduce grading time, improve consistency, and gain faster insights into student performance at scale.
Why it was introduced: As grading workloads increase and timely feedback becomes more important for teachers, manual assessment processes can be time-consuming and inconsistent. AI grading tools were introduced to reduce grading effort, improve consistency, and enable faster, more data-driven evaluation of student performance.
