Dear Biotronians,

As we’re getting closer towards the end of this year things are starting to get pretty crazy over here — which is good! A lot of interesting stuff happened in October, so let’s dive into it.

Productization

To make the sales process easier we broke down our solution into individual components and started offering them to potential partners. As of now we’re providing the following products:

  • Mobile SDK — a light-weight, battery- and transfer-efficient library that collects data for our analytics, currently available for Android (iOS will be out in Q1 2019). There are four organizations with whom we’re discussing partnership at the moment (and a couple dozen more in the pipeline), which would provide us with data from millions of users worldwide.
  • Ad targeting — using licensed and collected data we’re able to improve ad targeting based on locations visited. Three organizations already showed interest in this service, and we’re reaching out to many more.
  • Location Intelligence — again, based on the datasets we already have we can analyse specific locations and provide intelligence with actionable insights, such as retail-chain optimization. Four businesses are in the works, more will follow shortly. Best news is that we already have a paying customer for this one — more on that as soon as we have all the paperwork done.
  • Data Lab — for organizations that need discovery and idea creation we started providing our services in the form of a Data Lab. We’ll be starting to work for one client shortly, second one should follow soon after that.

SAPIE

SAPIE, short for Slovak Alliance for Innovation Economy, is the largest innovative alliance in Slovakia with more than 60 members, including companies like Sygic, Google, ESET, and many others. It is committed to building collaborative networks of private and public actors, creating national and regional partnerships and advocating for innovation. We’re proud to announce that Biotron.io has become the newest member of the alliance.

New people

Over the last couple of months we welcome three new engineers, who already started working on our products and projects. You can get to know them in this post.

Get in touch with us!

You’re very welcome to ask us anything on our official Telegram group. Twitter might be of help here as well. We’re looking forward to your messages.

Have a successful week!

Best regards,
