SPEED OF EXECUTION!! ✈️ From my airport adventures series: With 1 hour to kill before boarding, it was time for another onboarding experience. This time I wanted to focus on both products and promotional displays. 📍 Location: Madrid Airport. 🥃 Category: Spirits. 📣 Use case: Product and promotional display. ⏩ Speed of execution: 54 products + 1 promotional display in under 45 minutes. At Neurolabs , we treat both products and promo displays as Items. Whether it’s a product or a promo display, the onboarding process is as straightforward and speedy as it gets. Same concept, same process to keep the catalogue up to date. 🌎 One enterprise Image Recognition platform for all CPG use-cases. Setting the global standard in Image Recognition for the CPG space.

2,346 chats with prospects and 563 of them (24%) are blocked. Why? People want to seamlessly integrate your product with their tools (Stripe, Shopify, G Sheets, CRMs, etc.). Switching to Zapier won’t cut it for them because: 1) It breaks the bank and often costs more than your tool 2) It’s a disjointed UX. People need to get a separate license, go through a steep learning curve on a third-party app, etc. Climbo eliminated that barrier by bringing dozens of native (embedded) integrations under their roof. Results: - 28.57% increase in conversion rates from free to premium - 70% revenue uplift - 30 native integrations in less than 2 months - 560 requests for automation and direct integrations solved - Happy and thankful customers & prospects who can now automate even complex flows within Climbo Here’s a 4-min video that encapsulates the main highlights of a 1.5-hour webinar and walks you through this success story. Are you facing a similar bottleneck? If so, let’s have a chat! :) P.S. Huge shoutout to Giacomo Chinellato for an incredible webinar and partnership. :) Btw don’t miss out on Climbo—it’s a great reputation/review management tool! https://lnkd.in/d4J3MQ37 #albato #ipaas #embedded #nocode

Few months ago, one of our customers saw an unexpected increase in costs without any obvious reason. After looking into this, we discovered that their application replicas had been inadvertently increased by someone on their team, leading to scaling up of nodes and shooting up of costs. This is not the first time I have seen this in my career. When we don’t have systems in place to keep track of who is doing what, it can lead to problems like these. People might access things they're not supposed to, or make changes without anyone knowing. As companies grow and their teams expand, more and more users access shared systems and resources. So it becomes pertinent to monitor every action taken to make it easier to identify and resolve issues . To address that, we’ve built a dedicated audit log dashboard at Facets.cloud, a robust monitoring mechanism that displays all system changes and allows one to review all actions performed on the application's resources like deployments, services, or configurations within the relevant timeframe. For example, if one application experiences intermittent downtime or performance degradation, the audit logs provide a detailed trail to identify the root cause. This ensures that our systems remain transparent, accountable, and resilient as we scale. Have you faced similar challenges with monitoring user activity and changes across your systems? How did you deal with them? Anshul Sao Rohit Raveendran

🚀 Transform Your Business with PrivOps Matrix ABAC Manager! 🚀 We're thrilled to share the incredible results one of our clients achieved using the PrivOps Matrix ABAC Manager. This powerful tool has revolutionized their data integration processes, delivering impressive outcomes: ✅ Time to build integrations: Reduced from 3 years to 5 weeks! ✅ Cost savings: From over $700k to under $70k. ✅ Custom development: Slashed from >95% to <5%. ✅ New integrations: Now take 1-2 days instead of months. ✅ Integration changes: Completed in hours/minutes, down from weeks. ✅ Data privacy compliance: Automated, ensuring robust protection. ✅ Patching: Automated, no more manual interventions. Here's what one of the Senior Data Scientists had to say: "At the last minute, we learned the applications team was releasing an accounting software upgrade over the weekend. Unfortunately, this would break the leadership dashboards since the data integrations pointed to the old Oracle back end. But because we had the PrivOps Matrix, we rebuilt the integrations from scratch in just four days rather than forcing the application team to hold off for months while we refactored the legacy code. As a result, we avoided a bad experience with company leadership and let the applications team launch on schedule." Experience seamless integration, enhanced efficiency, and significant cost savings with PrivOps Matrix ABAC Manager! #DataIntegration #PrivOps #ABACManager #DigitalTransformation #CostSavings #Automation #DataPrivacy #ITSolutions #TechInnovation #BusinessGrowth #CustomerSuccess

💡Decoding Industry 5.0 and its Nexus with Cyber-Physical Systems💡 The world is on the precipice of Industry 5.0, a new industrial era driven by the integration of humans and machines in the production process. Let's dissect the role of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in this transformation. 1. CPS and Human-Machine Interaction: Previously, cyber systems and physical systems operated separately. Now, with CPS, we have seamless integration, leading to a new level of interaction between humans and machines. This interaction is the very crux of Industry 5.0. 2. CPS and Automation: While Industry 4.0 focused on complete automation, Industry 5.0 brings back the human touch. CPS ensures that machines regularly communicate with humans, making the production process more effective and personalized. 3. CPS and Efficiency: By connecting the digital and physical world, CPS significantly improves production efficiency. It enables real-time data collection and analysis, leading to faster decision-making and reduced downtime. 4. CPS and Innovation: CPS is propelling innovation across industries - from healthcare to transportation. The interoperability of CPS fosters creativity, leading to the invention of groundbreaking solutions. 5. CPS and Job Creation: Industry 5.0 opens up new roles that leverage the human-machine interaction aspect of CPS. Jobs that revolve around managing and optimizing these systems are on the rise. Understanding the role of CPS in Industry 5.0 is paramount as we usher in a new era of human-centric manufacturing. As the overlap between the cyber and physical worlds continues to grow, what changes do you foresee in your industry? Do you think the rise of CPS will lead to more job opportunities or displacement? Share your thoughts below. #Industry5 #CyberPhysicalSystems #FutureOfWork #Innovation #TechTrends https://www.ctrlaltdev.co/

I like this Silicon Valley series (Palo Alto). I advise entrepreneurs or those working with startups to watch it. It teaches start-up founders how to: 1. Conceptualize a startup (Ideation toolkit). 2. Build and grow a team using various strategies. 3. Raise VC money and know what kind of investments to avoid (bad money). 4. Network for great impact and exposure to key stakeholders. 5. Utilize investments or wisely spend startup funding. 6. Effectively work towards ROI. And most importantly, "HOW TO FAIL". We also need to know the things that make start-ups fail. Watch this series and learn more about real-world entrepreneurship!

What is the hardest part of entrepreneurship? Fundraising! Tech entrepreneurs are building very complex, disruptive technologies that often take many years to monetize and become self-sufficient. The problem is, how do you pay salaries during the development process? You need to raise investment. This means talking to many people you don't know and convincing them that what you're building is the next Google and deserves investment. With so many startups being created every year, fundraising has never been harder, especially for Europeans. Follow me to learn about startups every day! 📣 I am the founder of an EdTech AI startup, building an AI-powered higher education and career- building tool. #Entrepreneurship #StartupFundraising #TechStartups #RaiseInvestment #StartupChallenges #FundraisingTips #InvestorPitch #TechEntrepreneur #StartupLife #EuropeanStartups
