Streamline your retail operations with a highly
scalable, deep image analytics platform: Graymatics
“A large majority
of today’s
platforms
are limited to
analyzing text-
or binary-based
data. Yet, across
the Internet,
over 26 billion
photos and
over one billion
seconds of video
are uploaded
daily. This is a
huge amount
of information
which Big Data
and search
engines have
thus far been
unable to make
sense of.”

Graymatics, Inc., is an intelligence-
based security expert. The firm’s
cloud platform provides solutions
to security providers, retailers,
publishers, ad networks and
other service providers globally.
Graymatics was established in
2011 and is headquartered in
Singapore. Graymatics was set up
with the vision of having a massively
scalable platform to transform
videos and images into actionable
data. This effectively allows any
application which currently utilizes
text to obtain context, to as easily
use images and videos. We have
since developed a highly scalable,
cognitive multimedia analytics
platform that provides a solution
for all the possible industries like
Surveillance, Telecom, Media and
Advertising, Retail and E-commerce
and helps them cater to their
various requirements holistically.
Graymatics initially launched its
highly scalable, deep image analytics
platform with various API’s and
advertising tools with various
companies such as Hakuhodo Inc.
(a Japanese advertising and public
relations company), Vodafone-
Spain and with KDDI, a large
Japanese carrier. Utilizing context
from images for more effective
advertising, and towards enhancing
consumers’ experience were few of
the initial use-cases for which the
platform was used. The company
initially built a robust platform
on which deep image, video, and
audio analytics was performed to an
extensive level. With the successful
deployments and increasing
demand of some very specific
applications around Smartphone
applications, surveillance and social
media insights, it moved higher in
the value chain by offering full-scale
products and services in specific
areas. The presence of massive
amount of video content and with
various new video sources from
so many appliances resulted in an
increased demand of Graymatics’
products and services. This led
to a consistent growth in various
functions of the organization
ensuring that its clients have the
highest competitiveness in industry
and the most delightful experience
working with them. The platform is
extensively used and demanded in
different sectors like surveillance,
e-commerce, digital media and
many more.
A smarter solution is necessary in
order to go beyond the limitations of
manual monitoring. Our plug-and-
play Smart Surveillance technology

artificial intelligence to proactively
