Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 9: Tarnea Technology Solutions, in collaboration with Bhawar Group, launched AdKaster, a cutting-edge micro-commerce platform designed to empower independent retailers in Chennai. The platform aims to democratize access to the powerful technologies of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and advanced data analytics, giving small and medium-sized retailers the tools they need to stay competitive in the modern retail environment.
Madhav Sitaraman, CTO of Tarnea Technology Solutions, explained that AdKaster is specifically built to support independent retailers who often lack the technical resources to leverage advanced technologies like AI and ML. "AdKaster drives in-store promotions and boosts customer engagement, addressing a critical gap for retailers who are typically at a disadvantage against larger, more technologically advanced competitors," he said. This platform helps smaller retailers harness the same sophisticated tools used by big businesses, making powerful analytics accessible without the need for complex infrastructure or expertise.
Sanjay Bhawar, Director of Bhawar Sales Corporation, emphasized the significance of this collaboration saying, "For over 46 years, Bhawar Group has been consistently working towards empowering retailers. With the rise of online commerce and increasingly sophisticated market dynamics, AdKaster offers local retailers an opportunity to level the playing field. By providing access to data-driven insights and intelligent tools, we're enabling these businesses to improve customer engagement, boost sales, and maintain a competitive edge."
AdKaster uses AI, ML, and data analytics in several innovative ways to transform the retail experience. Key features of the platform include intelligent promotions powered by data analytics, which automatically generate recommendations for sales campaigns based on retailer data. AdKaster also offers personalized product recommendations to customers, improving their shopping experience by suggesting relevant items in real-time. The platform also simplifies the process of creating dynamic offers and promotional materials by using automated templates, allowing retailers to design targeted promotional posters without needing design expertise.
