About Rubikloud
Rubikloud is a retail intelligence platform focused on turning retail data into revenue. Most analytics or big data companies are repackaging static reporting tools or open source libraries that were not built for retail. Using modern data science techniques we help retailers optimize their business for every channel (e-commerce, mobile, and brick and mortar). The Rubikloud platform does three things. First, it connects, cleanses, and automatically formats the most important data sources from the retailer (e-commerce platform, POS, CRM, product feeds, etc). Secondly, with RUDI, retailers will never have to build a report again as insights are delivered in real-time. Finally, our optimization engine helps the retailer maximize their ROI on all marketing and promotion decisions. Founded in late 2013, Rubikloud has raised $9m lead by Horizons Ventures and is currently delivering insights and processing data for over a dozen retailers, with combined revenue of over $50 billion annually.
