Technology to compete in the Champions League of businesses

TV3’s program No pot ser! explained this Sunday how a football club has thoroughly applied technology to obtain competitive advantages in its market. The presenter, Jordi Basté, saw how professionals from Manchester City, Barça and other clubs of all levels collected data on a massive scale and worked with it to analyse their athletes’ performance, detect rivals’ patterns or even make better signings and obtain a faster return on their investments in the form of players.

It is a striking example, but there are examples everywhere. NBA franchises, for example, are already a step further, embracing concepts such as deep learning (machines that learn on their own without human assistance) and augmented reality. This article shows seven impressive examples of cutting-edge technology applications in professional basketball.

But the collection and massive analysis of data to facilitate decision-making is not exclusive to sports clubs, and has already reached every productive sector. This technology allows us today to predict earthquakes, offer only those movies or series that you may like, decide which products and packaging are the easiest to sell in supermarkets, or know when and where to carry out sewer network maintenance in the city.

The conclusion is clear: the most dynamic organisations have enthusiastically embraced the incredible opportunities offered by technology applied to their business models, in every productive sector and at every level of the company, including management.

Your company can also play in the Champions League

The good news is that this type of technology is now available to everyone. You do not have to be an NBA team or be listed on Nasdaq to enjoy the great benefits offered by big data or machine learning.

Some NaN-tic customers already have a smart stock management system. This software integrates with the corporate ERP and compares the company’s actual stock management with the theoretical optimum. As a result, these companies’ managers have fully optimised warehouses, never pay suppliers more than necessary, and buy only on the most appropriate day. Best of all, the software that manages stock automatically improves based on its usage experience.

It is just one example of the many possibilities we can offer companies that want to play in the Champions League of business without needing the best players in the world. You only have to contact us to find out how far you can grow your business.
