You're In Business

Surge Cloud identifies a valid real-world use case in retail logistics optimization using IoT and machine learning. However, the submission suffers from poor data quality, including absurdly exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'), lack of specific technical details, and metrics that indicate minimal actual traction or scale given its 2014 launch date.

Description

Łączymy świat analizy danych oraz IoT. Naszym głównym celem jest ograniczanie kosztów merchandisingu i logistyki w procesie sprzedaży. Podstawą wdrażanych przez nas usług i produktów jest technologia bazująca na tzw. Internecie Rzeczy oraz machine learning. Z kolei w procesie optymalizacji opieramy się na autorskim podejściu do zarządzania ciągiem zdarzeń w handlu stacjonarnym - tzw. HANDLOMETRII (ang. TRADEMETRY). Pozyskane dane pozwalają na obniżanie kosztów utrzymania ekspozycji, magazynowania towarów, a także logistyki. Administratorem Państwa danych osobowych jest firma Surge Cloud Sp. z o.o. z siedzibą w Poznaniu (61-854), ul. Mostowa 11/4, telefon 504423418 , e-mail iod@surgecloud.co
