Managing your digital transformation

Matching Carpoolers

Problem: Majority of the ride-sharing apps turn users into taxi drivers. What if you just wanted to carpool and not deviate from your route too much. We created a solution where you can keep your day job whilst picking up a few fellow commuters along your way. In the process get some perks that are available to carpoolers.

Solution: A combination of real-time location tracking, navigation algorithms,
and real-time traffic data from Google maps allowed us to match drivers and
passengers within deviation limits set by the driver.

Result: The app has generated 47% successful matches between drivers and passengers within deviation limits.

Planogram shopping cart

Problem: Retail shelf space is limit. Every wholesaler’s core business problem is to populate those shelves with their products. On the other hand, the retailer’s goal is to maximize profit by utilizing the limited space. Tomauri, a consumer electronics wholesaler, wanted a hook for the retailers to plan and order all the products on a shelf from the Tomauri e-commerce platform.

Solution: Retailers can input their shelf specifications (Height, width, and depth) into the virtual planogram tool and see a virtual version of their wall. They could then populate their shelf with Tomauri products which would show up in the dimensions of their packaging. They could also see the profit they could make from the shelf they have created and order all products on the shelf right from the tool.

Result: Currently the output from the tool accounts for a big portion of the total online sales. Since the launch of the tool, the business volume has been growing consistently.

Osler Thoracics needed a platform to easily educate its current and potential patients about medical procedures.

Solution: My 3D lung showed various portions of a lung and what would happen if certain medical procedures are applied to them.

Result: Doctors have stated that they use the tool during a good portion of their sessions to easily explain complex surgical procedures.

Virtual furniture retail store

Problem: Furniture stores require a large amount of real estate at prime locations. Due to the high costs, many furniture retailers are opting for e-commerce for some or all of their products. However, consumers often find it difficult to get an idea about the size or the appearance of a piece of furniture from a webpage. One of our customers, who is a furniture retailer, wanted to show more furniture in his store than space allowed.

Solution: A virtual furniture store where customers can interact with life-size 3D models on a large display.
