Beaconstac (rebranded to Uniqode in Jan 2024) is a highly successful Series A SaaS platform bridging physical and digital customer engagement. With $25M in funding (Jan 2023), over 50,000 paying customers (including Nestle, Marriott, FedEx), and profitable growth, the project demonstrates exceptional traction well beyond the submission's modest claims. While the submission form itself was completed with low effort (e.g., 'activeUsers': ''), the underlying business is a market leader with significant real-world utility and scale.
