We took two months off from the blog to develop some new tools, a new interface and a new platform. By making our tools easier to use our ambition is that more retailers will find it easier to adopt our market-leading AI technology to plan their promos and generate sales.

New Platform​

Enterprise sales is a long road to travel. As a company getting started, DecaSIM doesn't only want to wait for larger firms as they go through their evaluation process. In speaking with retailers of all sizes we came to the realization that our technology is just as viable and valuable to a small single-store retailer as it is to an enterprise-scale operation.

This market insight led to two month development process during which we packaged our solutions into a platform that is tailored to the needs and requirements of the single-store retailer but not at the exclusion of the multi-store banner.

New Interface​

The interface is centered around a three zones a marketplace tab, a tab for installed apps and a workspace. To access the interface you can register and sign-in using widely adopted social / email / workplace platforms.

Once registered you can browse the market place apps, some of which are free, some require a single payment and the remaining apps are subscription-based services.

Once installed, apps are activated by clicking OPEN, this automatically triggers the app to open in the workspace.

New Tools​

By creating an App Store we can bundle together the different features of DecaSIM into an app. Each app is a highly customized and targeted work-flows that can drive efficiencies and sales for your store.

Launch Apps​

At launch here is the list of apps we have published:

  1. PDF to CSV convertor (Free), take a competitor's promo pdf and extract the products on promotion into a csv file.
  2. Promo Publisher App (Subscription). Starting with an Excel workbook, the Promo Publisher will generate shareable html files containing your promotions.
  3. Promo Publisher App (Free version). We have made available a free version of the app.
  4. Store Locator (Paid). This app surfaces retailers by zip-code and displays them on a map.
