AInnovation Named an IDC Innovator in China’s Retail Industry
Internationally-renowned research firm IDC recently released the IDC Innovator for Computer Vision in China’s Retail Industry report. AInnovation was chosen as an IDC Innovator for its “retail full value chain” solution based on two core technologies — computer vision and automated machine learning — as well as several of its retail products.
IDC Innovators are a set of emerging IT technology vendors whose products and services have entered the commercial stage and whose revenues are under US$100 million. These vendors offer a groundbreaking business model within a certain market and/or an innovative new technology.
IDC believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will play an important role in the digital transformation of the retail industry, properly connect the supply and demand sides, create new value at the retailer level and a new experience at the consumer level. The challenge is how to create new value and new experiences at scale. The cost and ease of implementation of the solutions are important issues that retailers need to consider when choosing AI technology vendors.
Based on the analysis of retail-focused AI vendors and the survey of emerging companies in terms of company size, products and technologies, industry and customers, layout of the ecosystem and future development strategies, AInnovation was finally chosen as an IDC Innovator for Computer Vision in China’s Retail Industry.
