SWARM empowers Data Scientists and IT professionals to scale efficiently, reduce costs, and leverage AI for enhanced insights and outcomes.
Impact for IT & data science
We recognize the need to enhance and scale the capabilities of Data Scientists and IT professionals in the agrifood industry. SWARM's foundation lies in making the power of AI, machine learning, data science, and complex algorithms easier to use. One key aspect of our platform is that it enables your business team to clearly define their requirements - meaning you can spend more time on tasks that best utilize your skills, rather than clarifying user requirements.
Challenges IT & data scientists face
Siloed data, clean data
Extracting insights from diverse systems and uniting data for informed decision-making can be challenging when dealing with multiple siloed systems. Let’s not even talk about data quality!
Keeping current
Navigating the complexities of the latest AI systems and algorithms can be overwhelming while juggling your daily responsibilities.
Speed & agility
The pace of change and innovation quickly renders new solutions outdated, while the business is always looking to move faster. This frequently leaves a backlog of projects and user complaints about delivery speed.
Explainable solutions
With an increasing focus on the ethics and implicit bias of AI, it is becoming harder to deliver solutions that are both effective and can be explained.
Why SWARM for IT & data science?
Algorithm library
Extensive collection of optimization and machine learning algorithms, readily deployable to tackle various challenges, with the ability to test and compare their effectiveness head-to-head. We can also use your in-house, public open-source algorithms or platforms such as Gurobi.
Simplify data management
We use data from existing systems to run SWARM optimizations, using a single pipeline. We can feed directly from a Data Warehouse or ODS and publish results back into these systems if required. We also help eliminate critical business data currently managed by users in Excel or Google, bringing this under IT management.
Capture clear requirements
By using a standard approach and a free tool to capture business requirements, SWARM makes defining and managing business challenges far simpler. By placing the task of problem definition on the business, we leave IT and Data Science to focus on the complex task of defining and building solutions.
Enable self-serve for the business
If your users want to make adjustments to the parameters and variables involved in their solution to play with ’what-if’ scenarios, then SWARM’s Ops Dashboard handles that automatically, saving you from a deluge of user change requests. We can also implement multiple variants of a solution for different business units or regions, with a simple management approach.
