Many commercial and restaurant kitchens are under-utilised. The model is outdated - one kitchen serves one brand. So we’ve fixed this.
On the demand side, we’ve created a multi-cuisine range of delivery focused food brands, so kitchens can serve more local people on more occasions.
And on the supply side, our tech platform digitises kitchen operations to make them efficient.
But what makes Kbox really special is the advanced analytics. We help kitchens find the right set of food brands for their market, and then optimize the mix – all without them needing a data scientist.
So kitchens are busy and profitable.

Identifying disease in the developing world as a critical area where improvements could have global health and economic impact, we designed solutions around a new generation of medical devices, producing data that had yet to be translated into actionable and measurable solutions.

TextDigger offers the most intuitive, evolved, versatile and scalable semantic and linguistic profiling solutions for enriching content. From web publishers, to e-commerce sites, to social networking and corporate enterprises, TextDigger's solutions leverage our proprietary semantic technology to make web pages easier to find, navigate and monetize; and to automatically discover and track content or related content as it is used by our customers.
Our platform is uniquely equipped to be more scalable than those of the “Semantic Web” companies that are more theoretically based (and less practical in nature) and require rigidly defined information architectures to function in the narrowest of spaces. By contrast, TextDigger’s solutions work with unstructured text, do not require customers to implement formal ontologies, and can be integrated with as little as one line of code.
