Artificial Intelligence

While traditional brick-and-mortar retail continues to decline in America, tech-forward Asian companies are pushing the boundaries of in-store commerce and changing the way shoppers think about their purchases.

TAMPA, Fla. (April 27, 2018) — After a year of major growth, SiteZeus, the leading SaaS site-selection platform for retail industries, is taking home another win. SiteZeus CTO Chuck Cooper represented the startup at the second annual Chicago Machine Learning VC Summit where he competed against other machine-learning companies in a pitch to a crowd of entrepreneurs, developers and prospective customers. The event hosted over 600 attendees and 20 speakers in 2017.

Site selection technology is continuing to evolve rapidly and drive transformative change to “old school” site selection practices and methods. SiteZeus is on the cutting edge of that transformation with its location intelligence platform that is powered by the latest in AI and machine learning predictive analytics. Co-founder Keenan Baldwin recently shared his insights on what’s ahead for location intelligence.

Artificial intelligence or “A.I.” is coming, but it isn’t quite what you think it is. While the Hollywood-driven narrative about machine overlords or scheming supercomputers is entertaining, and might convince you that it’s time to start stocking the basement with bottled water and weapons, the reality will be much more incremental and less dramatic.

Today’s big data-driven marketplace only has room for the fittest. It sounds a little scary— I know. And for a long time, mastering the art of accurate and effective number-crunching was no small feat. Over the last decade, machine learning has grown and matured from a flashy high-tech tool to a business essential. But too many retailers still fail to acknowledge the incredibly positive impact artificial intelligence (AI) and big data can have on their businesses and are suffering as a result of their sluggishness.

TAMPA, Fla. (July 20, 2017) — The Subway® restaurant chain has partnered with Florida-based location intelligence leader SiteZeus® to augment its development strategy by adding data driven location intelligence with advanced geospatial technology and visualization. Combined with its own market data, Subway® is confident it will now have more thorough and accurate insights and suggestions for growth in every market.

The stakes are high when a company decides to invest in a brick-and-mortar storefront. A business can spend millions, only to fail because of the wrong location. But the Tampa-based SiteZeus® is working to boost their clients’ odds of success.

Big data, analytics and the Internet of Things are creeping into all aspects of business operations these days from staffing and inventory management to real estate and social media strategy. Many franchisors are finding it is time to jump on the trend or risk getting left behind.
