2024: Inclusion in the register of Russian software

The RozniTech digital solutions platform has entered the register of Russian software. The developer announced this on October 29, 2024.

RozniTech's platform helps retailers and brands manage pricing policies. One of the main modules of the service is responsible for offline price monitoring based on computer vision. It allows you to automatically process and compare data from price tags in competitors' stores with data from the platform user's product catalog. It is enough to take a photo of the price tag in the RozniTech application - the system itself recognizes the regular and promotional price, the name and category of the product, weight, digitizes and transfers data to the reporting interface.

The inclusion of RozniTech in the register of domestic software will allow Softline Digital to increase the number of potential customers and make the platform more attractive for companies with strict requirements for the Russian origin of digital solutions.

Our platform is now in the register of domestic software, and this is a big step for us. Thanks to this, we can not only demonstrate the reliability of RozniTech, but also count on support in the further development of the product from the state. As of October 2024, almost all Softline Digital solutions are included in the unified register of programs, the remaining part is under consideration, "said Ivan Smolin, director of product development at RozniTech Softline Digital.

2022: Platform Launch Plan

On the Retailix.Ai platform, services will be launched that have shown high efficiency in large federal networks, while being adapted for use by small and medium-sized retail chains in terms of cost and ease of implementation. As practice has shown, the use of some of the digital solutions ensures an increase in turnover in large networks from 4% to 6%. Softline announced this on January 19, 2022.

Skolkovo is a partner of the project and will place products of the Foundation's resident startups on the Retailix.Ai platform. Decisions will be selected on a competitive basis. The most relevant and in demand will have the opportunity to be tested by the Retailix.Ai team to adapt to platform standards with subsequent access to small and medium-sized retail chains and platform subscribers.

Prior to the launch of the initiative, we conducted interviews with many medium and small retail chains throughout Russia, and received confirmation of the demand for quickly implemented solutions for automating major operations. Retailix.Ai platform offers all solutions in one place, and get a guarantee of systems health, said Olga Strelova, Director of Acceleration in Retail Technologies of the Skolkovo Foundation Information Technology Cluster.

Every business from small and medium to the corporation faces challenges. These challenges are related to digital transformation, namely the optimization of business and technological processes based on data. This trend is obvious and it is worth starting to play for the future. In the period of 3-5 years, many processes and tasks will be entirely solved using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. Thanks to optimization, the freed up resources allow you to maintain a steady pace of development of enterprises. Digital transformation is not a trend, it is a new round of industry development, added Yuri Sviridov, director of product at Retailix.Ai.

The presence of a large number of services with proven efficiency, placed on a single platform, seems to be a very promising and popular solution for small and medium-sized retail chains. A distinctive feature of such a platform is not only the saving of financial and other resources, but high flexibility. Each retail chain will be able to choose and use exactly those solutions that will close the most relevant needs at one time or another, added Sergei Kuznetsov, Vice President, member of the Board of the Russian Association of Retail Market Experts.
