AI SCAPE Summarisation

AI SCAPE’s Summarisation capabilities enables your organisation to experience the immediate benefits of adopting Generative AI such as improving service quality, reducing total average handling time and boosting staff productivity.

Conversations with customers are automatically transcribed and summarised into the lead or contact record within leading CRM platforms including Salesforce and ServiceNow. This leading innovation in contact centre software utilises Microsoft’s Azure AI services to generate highly accurate summaries, mitigating the risk of human error.

BrightHR

BrightHR is an end-to-end HR software and support services provider to over 100,000+ businesses  world-wide. It’s got all the easy-to-use features that SMEs need to automate tasks and save valuable  time.  The smart online roster software takes the hassle out of creating, managing, and updating your staff  rosters—but halving your HR admin time doesn’t end there.

 Detrack

Detrack simplifies last-mile deliveries for businesses by automating tasks like proof of delivery (POD), route optimization, and real-time tracking. Through their software, businesses can capture electronic signatures, optimize delivery routes, and track deliveries in real-time, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.

With a user-friendly mobile app available in multiple languages, Detrack caters to businesses of all sizes and industries, making logistics management more straightforward and cost-effective.

Slack

Slack is the AI-powered platform for work, helping millions of people everyday across every industry move faster and fulfill their missions. With Slack AI, the platform is giving time back to people in their working lives by making the task of finding relevant information easy. It’s a new generative AI experience that includes smart search, channel recaps and thread summaries right in the platform.

It’s not just about the conversations that take place. With Slack’s Workflow Builder, anyone can create automations for repetitive tasks such as weekly reminders, integrating time-saving processes. Workflow connectors also make it easy to automate tasks across Slack and other tools like Google Sheets, DocuSign, Jira, Asana and more.

Slack offers a free version to users that include basic features. They also offer a Pro version from $7.25 USD user/per month and Business+ for $12.50 USD user/per month. Enterprise Grid subscriptions are upon consultation.

Zebra WorkCloud 

Zebra WorkCloud is a purpose-built suite of enterprise solutions that digitise workflows for the most critical functions of a modern enterprise. Specifically, its Workforce Optimisation solution is designed to help decision-makers tackle the challenges of labour costs and availability, from task to timekeeping as well as scheduling, budgeting, and forecasting. 

Zebra WorkCloud solutions are implemented across various industries in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), spanning retail, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors. With more than 275 global retailers, restaurants, hotels, and banks leveraging our Workforce Optimisation solutions, businesses in ANZ have successfully adopted the software since its introduction to the region in 2022.

Airtable

Airtable is a database and workflow builder tool that allows us to create internal channel notifications, templated emails, and update assignees throughout our workflows. Without Airtable, where we’ve built a content production system that fits our workflows, we’d be stuck adapting our processes to the limitations of whichever tool we chose instead. Each content piece lives in one spreadsheet, with filters that provide more flexibility than tools where tasks are connected to an overarching project.

Way2Vat

Way2Vat has just launched AI-AP Compliance, a new AI-driven automated accounts payable auditing product to complement the Company’s existing suite of AI-powered VAT/GST claim and return solutions.

Many companies use external advisors to perform invoice audits. This not only takes a lot of time and cost but opens a company to risk and potential fines for improper VAT/GST treatment as advisors tend to only do spot checks on a sample of invoices. 

AI-AP Compliance operates at magnitudes quicker than manual auditing, reducing processing time from months to days, and significantly reducing risk by automatically ensuring all invoices are compliant with various VAT/GST rules and regulations, and verifying the correct amount of VAT/GST has been charged or paid.

 EasyCars Dealer Management System

EasyCars is an intuitive dealer management system that streamlines automotive operations through automation. Targeting Automotive Dealers in Australia, EasyCars automates time consuming, repetitive tasks like inventory management, advertising,  reporting, government compliance and customer relationship management in one central web-based application. A third-generation software, EasyCars enhances productivity, reduces overhead costs, and most importantly improves profitability, accelerating growth for users.
