Bubo.AI is an AI-driven willingness-to-pay-based price-optimization solution for B2B businesses, initially focusing on wholesalers and distributors. Their technology identifies the optimal price a customer will pay for a product on a given day, having built algorithms that incorporate some 50 internal and external parameters, including historical prices and volumes, seasonality, distance from customer, competitors, and the profile of a customer. The latest case study showed gross margin improvement of 19 percent in eight weeks.
bubo.aiCompatio
Compatio offers a knowledge commerce platform that changes the way products are sold. Unlike traditional e-commerce systems that focus on individual products, Compatio enables the discovery and purchase of products that go together to fulfill a custom requirement. Examples would be a graphics card that works with a specific motherboard or a customized bike. Compatio has developed a knowledge graph database, commerce plugins, and a multi-marketplace platform that are engineered to sell products that have complex relationships.
HiGeorge
HiGeorge gives organizations access to the world’s public data via an application programming interface (API) or ready-to-use data visualizations, enabling them to access thousands of external data sources. Newsrooms looking to pull and display continuously updating data on COVID cases, for example, would not be able to do so without a data engineer. HiGeorge provides a pipeline configuration and visualization builder, sourced from any external public data source, that allows analysts without coding experience to create auto-updating visualizations or APIs.
