Background: The Problem Saleo Solves

SaaS companies often rely on outdated demo environments, unstable sandboxes, or static screenshots that require ongoing technical maintenance. These environments rarely match a prospect’s use case, slow down sales cycles, and create inconsistency across teams.

Saleo solves this by allowing teams to use their real product while injecting customizable, live demo data—resulting in demos that are stable, authentic, and tailored to the buyer.

  • Tailor demos by persona, vertical, use case, or account.
  • Maintain full product functionality during the demo.

2. CaptureTM – Guided Tours

  • Create interactive tours for web and mobile.
  • Scripted flows with tooltips, dialogs, and navigation. 
  • Create fast, interactive leave-behinds.

3. CaptureTM – Lite Sandbox Demos

  • Click-anywhere tours.
  • Allow prospects hands-on access to your product.
  • Expand reach without requiring live demo availability.

How Saleo Works

Native Product Integration: Saleo plugs directly into your native product or existing demo environment — no separate builds needed.

AI-Driven Data Injection: A no-code modeling engine injects realistic, customizable data (tables, graphs, metrics, text, visuals) on demand.

Full Interaction: Since it’s your real product, every click, workflow, and navigation works. Demo behaves exactly like the real thing.

Template & Variant Management: Turn any demo configuration into a reusable template; duplicate and tweak for new accounts, personas, or verticals.

Flexible Delivery Modes: Choose between live demos for calls, or self-guided interactive tours / sandbox demos you can share broadly.

Enterprise Controls: Role-based access, permissions, secure setup — everything a modern GTM org expects from a demo platform.
