Pleevi offers the first “real” smart charging solution, designed for businesses and facility managers that drastically lowers the cost of charging. Our AI powered engine does so by planning for individual departure time, considering local solar production & building load, connection constraints, grid peak penalties and dynamic energy prices. We offer an API service to connect with our unique optimization algorithm that plans charging sessions and battery behavior in time, so the right cars are charged at the best point in time, at the lowest possible cost, at a 15 min recalculation interval. Pleevi is a spinoff of VITO/EnergyVille, an independent Flemish research organisation in the area of cleantech and sustainable development. 10 years of research in energy forecasting and optimization went into our award-winning algorithm.

A network of points of sale is complex by nature. Different points of sale, some managed by the company itself and others franchised, different computer systems, many users with different profiles and needs. And of course a lot of data generated every day. dgenious is the Business Monitoring Platform to enable retail managers to manage their physical and online point of sales dynamically and in real time. Thanks to degnious, retail managers are where the business is done! In Real Time, they know which customer, when was his last visit, what did he buy this time compared to the last time? At what price? What am I going to sell him next time knowing that this week the best selling product is this one? Analyze your franchises, points of sale, campaigns, launches, stock, consumers… Juggle with your data. Create, modify, adapt and share your reports on demand, easily and quickly. In real time, without any special IT knowledge. dgenious reconciles data from your different systems in real time (cash register, stock, erp, crm,...) and makes it available on your mobile, tablet or desktop computer dgenious has an advanced technology for managing permissions and authentication. It allows you to build permission profiles by mixing and matching various sources at will (AD/ldap, ERP, different POS systems, manual management of some users, …). With this system, a franchisee only sees the sales and stock data of his points of sale, whereas a logistics manager can see orders and stock data for an entire country but has no access to sales or commercial conditions. A network manager or product manager can prepare a report and share it with categories of users (all franchisees and all logistics managers) and is assured that everyone will only have access to the appropriate scope of data. - Available in 1 month - Use case retail included - Self-service mode included - between 50€ and 150€*/month/location - # unlimited users - no code, no IT knowledge required - Dedicated app

Nestwave enables the proliferation of IoT geolocation by providing the smallest, most efficient, lowest component count solutions. Our combination of IP and cloud services eliminates the need for conventional GPS/GNSS chipsets and dramatically reduces power consumption. Because of this, our technologies minimize the bill of materials, extend the battery life and speed the time-to-market of accurate indoor and outdoor positioning and tracking applications. Combining GNSS, 5G and WiFi location, Nestwave IP can be incorporated into existing DSPs and modems without re-design. Cloud-assisted implementation leverages the computation power of the cloud and keeps power consumption to a minimum. The unprecedented power and BoM savings realized by Nestwave’s innovative technology significantly improve existing positioning and tracking applications. They also open the door to the integration of geolocation in applications where power and size limitations would previously have made this impossible. And by combining lower power consumption with the use of fewer components, Nestwave solutions contribute to environmental sustainability and reduced carbon footprints. ---> Moving to NextNavs LinkedIn page on March 1st, 2023.
