Crowdz

Crowdz is creating a global trade-finance ecosystem that helps to ensure a large and growing invoice inventory, rapid and frictionless execution of B2B transactions, and lower investment risk—all leading to more affordable financing rates for invoice sellers while generating high and secure returns for invoice funders. The core of our solution is an automated invoice auction exchange that aggregates bids from banks, asset funds, hedge funds, and factoring companies from around the world. The Crowdz solution begins by fully digitizing the buy/sell process via supply-chain marketplaces that originate risk-rated invoices pre-configured for immediate investor financing. These digitized invoices and other digitized documents then flow across the Ethereum blockchain, where they are consolidated, transformed into digital smart contracts, and instantly transmitted to and from all involved parties. Crowdz then automatically posts these invoices on the auction exchange, where investors can bid on risk-rated individual or packaged invoices, enabling small and midsized enterprises and other supply-chain participants to receive instant cash (less a discount) for the value of their receivables. The end result is a streamlined supply chain and accelerated working capital flow that facilitates an ever-growing volume of B2B transactions while multiplying the efficiency of global supply chains.

AuditXPRT

AuditXPRT is automating compliance and auditing using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to save companies time and money while reducing their exposure to risk. Problem Auditing and compliance are still very expensive, time consuming and manual processes. Managing the regulatory environment costs banks $270 billion per year in operating expenses. In addition to large costs, companies are highly exposed to risk due to sampling. Today only 25 out of 100,000 documents are reviewed for compliance. Solution At AuditXPRT we have developed a hassle-free platform that uses AI and machine learning to automate auditing and compliance. Our solution can review 100% of a company’s documents in a fraction of the time it takes today, while reducing compliance costs by up to 90%. Our platform uses a unique combination of proprietary AI technologies to offer the best possible accuracy with only a handful of training examples.

Smart Viewing AI

Smart Viewing and Smart Viewing AI are two halves of an ecosystem built on 360° imagery and virtual reality. Our approach seamlessly interweaves the two in one swift approach. We leverage the powerful visual enhancement of 360° imagery to profoundly transform the viewing process of properties, while simultaneously extracting all relevant data from the imagery. This greatly improves the property risk underwriting process of banks and insurance companies. Smart Viewing is a platform that allows online guided property viewings where no one is physically in the property. This is a transformational service for the real estate brokerage industry by finally providing efficiency to a hitherto flawed process. Smart Viewing AI is a new algorithm created via machine learning on every single 360° imagery deposited on our Smart Viewing platform to produce a “condition report” on every property sold and let. We are about to enable “sight” where banks and insurance companies are currently blind.
