Summary

Why Work For Us?

We are a small group of people that has learnt a great deal from one another and intend to keep doing so, the more eclectic the mix, the better. We are working in an area that craves creative thinking and lends to a host of unique challenges waiting to be conquered; from solving Image recognition challenges, interpreting and building predictive analytics through to building, visualising and showcasing our findings. We value teamwork and are at heart a quirky bunch looking to expand our team and offering while keeping our core the same.

What we do?

Cognizance is a cross-platform retail analysis platform, utilising physical execution metrics, digital current and historic data to provide near real time retail reporting, interpretations and predictions on each aspect of the retail chain.

Cognizance uses the Image Recognition results as real-life metrics; analysing images taken in-trade, thereafter comparing the results to epos data and planograms/flows to provide a detailed picture of our customers retail operation, providing them insight and action plans on room for optimisation, improvement and change. From a strategic through to operational standpoint.

We provide near real time, actionable insights designed to have a measured effect in the world outside.


What do we believe?

LIFE LONG LEARNING

Life long learning implores us to keep growing, as a company and as individuals. New perspectives come as a gift of new learnings and keep stagnation in the corner. We're moving forward, come with us.

TO DEVELOP SOFTWARE MAKES A MEASURABLE DIFFERENCE

Building software aimed at revolutionising the way retail takes place as opposed to adding to the existing pot.

USING ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE SOLUTIONS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME
