TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Adastra, a global leader in AI and machine learning, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a $1.1-million investment from SCALE AI to support a supply chain optimization platform project for their partner Taiga Building Products.

SCALE AI is Canada’s supercluster dedicated to strengthening the country’s leadership role in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science. This is the second project SCALE AI has funded for Adastra this year, after their investment of $1-million into developing a smart platform to optimize agricultural yield in April 2022.

”By using AI to enable data-driven decisions on these critical elements of Taiga’s supply chain there will be a direct impact to the consumer with available inventory, lower costs, and a wider variety of products,” says Darren Edery, CEO, Adastra. “One of Taiga’s retail customers will participate in the project and provide real-time data that will be integrated into Taiga’s ‘just-in-time’ inventory model to create tangible impact along the building materials supply chain.”

Adastra saw a need for the project due to the fragmented nature of the building materials supply chain. The overall goal of this initiative is to use data inputs that are readily available in disparate systems and use advanced AI techniques to solve three of the most pressing bottlenecks in the building materials supply chain: accurate demand forecasting, maximizing truck loads, and optimizing warehouse layouts.

“Taiga sees the use of technology, specifically machine learning/artificial intelligence technology at the retail level to be a meaningful advancement for our customers,” says Hanif Jessani, Director, IT, Taiga Building Products. “The promotion of these tools will increase revenue for our customers and improve the overall value chain in the LBM space.”

In 2021, Adastra was awarded a Microsoft Impact Award in artificial intelligence. These annual awards recognize Microsoft partners that have focused on bettering the lives of Canadians and demonstrated excellence in sales, marketing, skilling, innovation, and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology. Coupled with their two projects funded by SCALE AI, Adastra is quickly becoming a leader in helping organizations address complex supply chain issues with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Their proven solutions in the space have been unlocking value for organizations and their clients.

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–dataplor started in 2017 with a mission to map the local businesses of Mexico. Having rapidly expanded in the past year and on track to triple annual revenue, the company’s data now covers 100 countries and 150 million POIs.

For businesses looking to expand abroad, data on local commerce in developing markets uncovers untapped opportunity. Highly accurate and comprehensive POI data is helping the world’s largest companies inform site selection, increase efficiency, better target customers, and identify international markets ripe for new entrants.

dataplor plans to extend coverage to 150 countries by the end of 2022 to continue providing customers with accurate POI data in developing economies. While pursuing growth, the firm remains committed to maintaining accuracy across all of its locations.

dataplor has been able to grow in an industry with entrenched competitors because it goes several steps further than others to verify the accuracy of data abroad — in markets where the data peddled is often full of errors.

Expanding coverage and data accuracy across the globe

Since March 2022, dataplor has doubled its total count of POIs, and its coverage has increased from 10 countries in Q2 2021 to 100 countries today, spanning Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The world’s largest tech, CPG, and financial services companies rely on the data company to understand global markets.

The leading factor behind dataplor’s swift growth is its multi-step data collection and verification process. By working with local experts to vet geospatial data, the firm closes gaps in machine errors with boots-on-the-ground verification to ensure its numbers truly reflect local businesses, which are always changing. This dynamic accuracy gives dataplor’s intelligence an edge over rivals who have accurate information for developed economies like the US but haven’t done the legwork to understand poorly mapped business geographies in, say, India or Brazil.

Tracking places attributes such as storefronts, industry types, and business hours, dataplor paints a picture of hyperlocal economies to reveal broader trends. POI data can uncover holes in local brick-and-mortar economies, highlighting regions, for example, where retailers or CPGs can increase sales and marketing efforts. POI data also reveals which chains and brands are growing or receding in certain areas, informing site selection.

With data still scant in many nations, dataplor plans to expand further to provide its customers the information they need country by country. And the company will deploy not just AI and ML for data collection and verification but also local experts to ensure it maintains its precision with each additional market.

Tempering growth with conscientious upkeep

For a data intelligence firm dealing in local business information, keeping records up to date is a never-ending pursuit. From zip code changes to storefront closures, the work of maintaining accurate information in diverse markets continues.

As a sign of the company’s commitment to ensuring accuracy while pursuing growth, dataplor has increased its core team by 30%.

Dedicated to maintaining the infrastructure needed to ensure accuracy across locations old and new, dataplor is putting businesses on the map in international markets and lighting the way for companies looking to establish themselves abroad.
