Our take
The analysis of business data is essential in making operational changes based on forecasting, managing supply chains, and optimizing revenue, but the mass of available data can be overwhelming. This can sometimes be combatted with the power of AI-driven data analysis tools, but existing solutions are usually designed to solve specific problems within specialized industries.
Fractal develops AI-driven tools and platforms for businesses, including a conversational AI platform called Senseforth, a revenue growth AI tool called Samya, AI algorithms for medical imaging named Qure, and an all-in-one data analytics platform called Crux Intelligence. The company develops its solutions to be flexible and applicable within a wide range of industries including consumer packaged goods, healthcare, financial services, and media.
Whilst AI-driven business tools are commonplace, Fractal has taken the smart approach of developing a suite of flexible AI tools that can tackle problems in many industries, as opposed to focusing on a specific problem or industry. This strategy has positioned the company well for continued growth and impact, reflecting its broad applicability and potential in the market.
