At the time, Big Data was the new big thing, driving important corporate investments. Yet, too often such investments were not yielding the desired returns.Since dayone, we pursue a clear mission: leverage the value of telecom data. We do this by starting from the field to build user-centric frameworks driving results. We resist the ‘black box’ principle by putting data at the service of human intelligence and bringing teams together under a collaborative approach.Our brand Riaktr, adopted in 2018, symbolizes our pivot from a services business to a product company. Today our software products address two major questions faced by telcos: - How can I optimize my network CAPEX investments? - How can I optimize my Sales & Distribution operations? Behind the scenes, we are a team of computer scientists, engineers and business consultants based in the heart of Brussels, with a local presence close to our clients in South-Africa and Brazil. We have worked in many countries in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. We work with six of the ten biggest telecom groups to revolutionize the telecom and Consumer Goods industries. | $12.7M | Series A | Jun 13, 2016 |  |
