Reliable forward-looking insights on changing consumer preferences and demand patterns in uncertain markets during and after the pandemic is now made possible, with the Singular Intelligence AI technology. Businesses can also use this solution in commercial decisions for improved category, pricing, promotions and revenue management.

 

This is a cutting-edge AI solution for decision making in crisis and market turmoil, which has been selected by Innovate UK. It combines in a novel way frontiers of AI technologies with concepts from game theory and consumer psychology. The modelling uses all relevant sources of information, including the dynamic market, consumer and COVID-19 data.

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted short- and long-term outlooks, we are witnessing chaotic demand patterns across all product categories, with changing brand and channel preferences in an already complex and dynamic multi-channel retail market. Traditional historical data-based modelling solutions have become less relevant due to the dynamically evolving consumer and market context. 

 

Sarvesh Kumar, the Founder & CEO, Singular Intelligence said: 

• "The new retail would be founded with a much more robust competence to understand, anticipate, adapt and respond to evolving market events and consumer behaviour".

 

• "AI and data are core to this transformation. Innovate UK support helps us to advance Singular Intelligence roadmap and accelerate our vision of empowering reliable, timely decisions at scale for commercial and social benefits."

 

Singular Intelligence's product has been validated by the best in the Consumer Goods industry, including a global CPG giant, a global leading market data provider and an innovator in autonomous retail. The company has built a strong eco-system of partners like Nielsen and Microsoft. The company has a team of senior industry experts, AI & Retail researchers from academia, and technologists, who are working on a disruptive and continuous innovation roadmap. 

 

The Innovate UK Fast Start Competition was launched in April 2020 in response to the outbreak, inviting ambitious technologies to build UK resilience. It aims to fast-track the development of innovations borne out of the coronavirus crisis, while encouraging the next generation of cutting-edge start-ups – helping to build the businesses of tomorrow.
