Solutions

Digital Business Operations

Retailers must evolve alongside shifting consumer trends and increasing digitalization. They cannot solely rely on time-intensive content creation. Our automated solution generates unique content through product attributes, streamlines workflows, and automatically tags images, saving retailers the time to focus on what customers value most.

Demand Sensing and Forecasting

For global food manufacturers, the downstream retailer-level data is too unstructured to use for strategizing. Manual interventions lead to errors, and inventory issues negatively impact business. Our AI-first forecasting enables a central repository for the demand data from more than 4,000 distributors for efficient shelf management and pricing analysis.

Chatbot

Our AI-powered chatbots are designed to identify relevant customers and provide them with the necessary support. Every interaction enhances their understanding of consumer behavior, enabling them to provide better informed and personalized solutions over mobile, web, or social channels.

Customer Segmentation, Dynamic, Ad Generation and Delivery

Gather demographic and behavioral analytics on a region through customer behavior parameters, including buying and searching patterns. This enables the creation of customer groups with segmentations for targeted advertising. It also ensures ad delivery on the right OTT platforms and social media channels where customers spend most of their time.

Customer Behavior Analytics, Personalization, and Frictionless Checkout

With a wide range of touch points throughout the customer journey, retailers can leverage many data sources to analyze customer interactions. Our AI-powered solution continuously learns and connects that data for better insights and a more personalized customer experience. It also leverages video-based data for real-time security and advanced use cases like pick and go (e.g. Amazon Go).

Visual Security and COVID-19 Related Compliance

Our system detects crowd accumulation, the presence or lack of face masks, social distancing compliance, and hygiene practices. This solution uses AI-based image recognition and inference systems to detect and raise alerts of non-compliance.

Voice-Based Experiential Analytics

As an AI-augmented analytics product, our voice-based analytics solution is designed for businesses operating on both desktop and mobile. It eliminates the need for data-speak through an NLP-based text and voice-powered search. It also enables users to create a personalized information landscape through AI-driven learning by alerting users of anomalies, outliers, and early warnings with ML-powered nudges.
