Business Challenge

Customer has a large manual process to examine and identify containers with physical damages. The existing process was tedious and time-consuming, prone to manual errors while tracking defects.

Our Solution

We helped develop a deep learning-based video processing solution which could identify the defects on the containers and automatically log the container details into the existing data system.

Outcome

The solution has been successfully tested and is currently in the operationalization phase.

Business Challenge

Catering to multiple clients across the globe, the call center company was dealing with the challenge of unoptimized agent utilization.

Our Solution

We developed an ML-based solution which identified and recommended the ideal agent profile for a particular shift after analyzing all the demographic and firmographic factors of the company’s clients.

Outcome

Our recommendations resulted a significant reduction in MTTR by up to 12%.

Business Challenge

The leading e-commerce company offers a wide mix of deals to its customers across multiple categories and locations. However, the product assortment is not optimized well for demand, leading to frequent inventory problems.

Our Solution

We analyzed the situation and designed a system that considers location, seasonality and nature of deal to identify an optimal assortment of products. It can also be tuned further to improve topline or bottom-line traffic.

Outcome

The recommended deals helped the company enhance their revenue by up to 15%.

Business Challenge

The company was unable to derive value from its digital marketing initiatives due to heuristic lead scoring and visitor engagement models.

Our Solution

We developed a statistical model to establish a data-driven model for lead scoring. We also built ML-based channel attribution models to measure the efficiency of digital content.

Outcome

The percentage of conversions through digital channels has increased from 4% to 7% after implementing the recommendations provided by our ML-based models.

Business Challenge

There are close to 2.5 million users who have registered with this e-commerce platform. However, even a single purchase had never been recorded due to lack of ability to identify which is the right user segment that can be targeted to increase engagement.

Our Solution

Based on the browsing pattern of the new users and the existing users, we developed a machine learning model that could predict and identify prospects who have a high propensity to make a purchase.

Outcome

The enterprise recorded up to 12% increase in conversions.

Business Challenge

The company designs and deploys custom refrigerators at various supermarkets. However, it did not have a mechanism to figure out when the refrigerators would fail.

Our Solution

We designed an ML-based predictive model which can predict the probability of a refrigerator experiencing downtime by using the sensor data collected by IoT devices deployed in a refrigerator.

Outcome

Our recommendations resulted a significant reduction in MTTR by up to 12%.
