Artificial intelligence (AI) is shedding light on one of the most examined yet least understood experiences of modern life: the customer journey. From shopping malls and sports arenas, to train stations and city streets, C2RO is an AI-powered video analytics platform that captures anonymized data about people's movement so organizations can improve the customer experience. "We analyze human behaviour in physical spaces, and transfer it into actionable data," said Tim Heaney, vice president of sales at C2RO. "With a fact-based understanding of the amount of people coming into a space, how they move through it with whom, where they linger, and what they touch and eventually purchase, organizations can manage physical environments more efficiently to improve the customer experience and business results." A transportation organization used data from C2RO to improve subway train and bus terminal planning. "Based on the number of people boarding and leaving trains at certain times and days, as well as which direction they're headed at terminals, transportation managers could alleviate traffic crunches," said Heaney.

Montreal-based C2RO today announced that it has secured CAD$2.25 Million in new financing in a round led by Fonds Innovexport, with participation from GCI Capital Inc., Harbor Street Ventures, Tandemlaunch, Ministere de Economie et L'Innovation, and several angel investors in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. The funds will be used to accelerate the commercialization of C2RO's powerful enterprise grade cloud A.I. services. "We led the investment in C2RO because it has an excellent execution team, a significantly expanding Tier1 customer base, and a formidable technology position in the field of real-time machine vision A.I.," said Richard Bordeleau, President at Fonds Innovexport. "C2RO will have a tremendous impact on the industry and we want to support them through this journey." In June of 2018, the company introduced C2RO Engage, the world's first real-time cloud based facial recognition platform.
