Retail franchise project post COVID19 strategy

We are working on a model for a health and wellness franchise… it would be a retail style kiosk (about 400 square feet) that would be placed in serviced (already available restrooms, security, etc) high traffic locations such as malls, downtown towers, large work places, transportation centers, tourist spots and other high traffic areas. Locations would be turn-key and follow the typical franchise strategy of having owner operators, with corporate oversight, branded products and services, corporate distribution of retail products, etc. What we are wanting to do is: establish market potential define market acceptance understand the current competitive landscape which is highly fractured and early stage at the moment gauge interest with potential franchisee targets (which are very specific) grasp pricing ranges for services and likely a few other items. This would an absolute start-up… we have a concept that we are wanting to explore.

AI and Machine Learning

We are looking to partner with a top university to tackle a global problem. A problem that costs billions of dollars worldwide and one that we can all relate to. We need best in class programs looking at cutting edge technology specifically around machine learning and speech recognition. The output of the speech to text converter will need to be fed into an ML library, that will identify the context and group/form meaningful paragraphs for each section of the output document. It will need to understand the context of the meeting, and identify the summary, action items etc (potentially support multiple document types based on the meeting type & industry). The output of this will then be put into a document using Java. We will need to understand if there are any existing libraries that can be used/extended to achieve this functionality, or if an algorithm can be developed for the same. We’re excited about this potential partnership and we know with the right synergy we can tackle something huge. Let us know if you think this is a good fit and we look forward to hearing from you. Our team is located in Dubai, South Africa and Canada.

Marketing Strategy - Global

Chronos Works is an app that operates as a pre-crm planning system for sales teams and sales managers. We know that CRM's are good at tracking progress, but poor at planning and forecasting. Chronos Works uses old school basic planning concepts delivered in a modern application . Using Chronos Works allows sales teams to clearly define the best sales targets. We are a team of 5 people and our program is close to commercialization. Two of our team are development and AI/ML specialists and they are integrating smart science into the program so that our data will be valid and usable. We would now like to understand what might be our best approach to entering and penetrating the global market. The key sponsors of this project are a 40 year veteran of sales and marketing and a 20 year project management specialist. Our locations are Calgary Canada, London UK and Dubai UAE.
