Software development is oblivious to the maze it’s stuck in. Ideas rattle through clunky systems and suffocate under the weight of ingrained complexity, sending developers round in laborious circles. Holding them back from moving us forward. Encore changes all that with a pragmatic new philosophy that breaks away. From the complexity. The industry. From the stuck-in-their-way mindsets. By proposing a new way of building cloud software. With this newfound philosophy, Encore's backend development engine empowers developers and their ideas to escape the maze. Shifting development from its compliant tool, murmuring on and on — to being a driver of potential and possibility. We’re clearing a new path for better experiences and better builds. It’s a development philosophy that sets our work free. It’s time to break away.

Sealytix develops CAPSIM, an advanced stowage algorithm that liner shipping companies can use to maximize the profit of their fleet. Liner shippers are challenged by extremely complex stowage rules of container vessels. This means that sales teams are unable to fill all slots and sell container bookings that fit the vessel. The problem is known, but has defied automation until today. CAPSIM is the fourth generation of a series stowage algorithms developed in collaboration with Danish Universities since 2007. It includes a patented AI technology for predicting lashing forces and forecasting cargo. It is the first stowage algorithm in the world that is able to select spot and contract cargo to stow on a vessel that maximizes total cargo yield. A PoC with a large Danish liner shipper showed that CAPSIM enables vessels to increase their profit with 5-8%. This is a breakthrough result in a market that normally has profit margins of a few percent. The potential extra profit of the world fleet is more than $10B per year. Sealytix has a SaaS software product line consisting of SLX | YIELD, SLX | FLOW, and SLX | STOW supporting sales, capacity management, and stowage operation, respectively.

Research shows that 80% of Small business owners and startups don't have the tools, time or budget to make videos at the volume and quality needed to compete. So I decided to create an alternative route for SMBs and startups to reach the market - this one is via low cost, high-quality video production marketplace. Optix.io is a two-sided creative marketplace that connects creative video freelancers with SMBs and startups and brings them together to work quickly, reliably, and flexibly at a fixed cost. We have done lots of research in this field (as our team has an extensive background in video creation for the biggest brands and companies, and we know what mistakes are most common for the clients and freelancers. That's why we have drafted the right set of options to provide the perfect outcome. How It All Works. The client uploads a brief of what they would like to film, pick a date and time, confirm terms and conditions hit pay; we will then match them with a creative freelancer that will show up on the date, film edit and deliver on the same day. Freelancers will be able to capture more of their earning potential without having to compromise on quality. At the same time, clients can get more value for their money by tapping into the creative minds of independent creators. I'm Farzad, founder of Optix.io. I have over 17 years of experience in video creation. I have worked for the biggest brands and companies in Norway like TV2 and internationally like Google, Siemens and MTV. I have always had multiple requests from SMBs and startups to create content for them, but unfortunately, they couldn't always afford the rates, so with Optix, I'm making it affordable and effective. Optix is a small startup from Oslo/Norway, and We believe in small businesses. So we're here to help them grow and create the best video content possible from start to finish. And hope you can join us on our journey. ​ optixmedia.io | matchmade to create
