Idea

The global pandemic has taken a significant toll on people and businesses, particularly in service sectors where physical presence is essential.

RoboAds is rising to the challenge, helping people and organizations navigate massive workforce shifts and to establish business continuity. Introducing Aqses, a new innovative platform that allows users at different locations to hold face-to-face meetings via digital signage screens. The screens can be placed at schools, malls, hospitals, tradeshows, airports and other high traffic areas, offering an exceptional virtual telepresence experience

Current Status

Aqses platform is fully developed and ready to market. We are adding new customisations to meet the specific requirements for our first client. With zero marketing and prior to our official launch, our current first project is valued at 750,000 USD.

Market

The digital signage kiosk can be placed at the reception desk, malls, customer support desk, airports, tradeshows and other high traffic areas.

We are targeting B2B companies that include service workforce.

The video conferencing market value was estimated to be worth 27.25 Billion USD during 2023. As there are no concluded studies during 2020, we assume that it has been reached many multiples due to Covid19.
The digital signage market is estimated to reach 28 Billion USD during 2023

Problem or Opportunity

Millions of people work in the service industry as customer service, sales, promoters. Due to lockdowns and travelling restrictions, they are no longer able to reach their workplace.


Our client has hundreds of promoters that work in supermarkets, malls and airports. Due to the pandemic, there has been travelling and lockdown restrictions that withheld promoters from reaching their work, causing a huge drop in sales.

Aqses platform has been designed from the ground up as a solution to the urgent market needs. The market service sector is in high need for a telepresence solution which will allow users to work from home but become virtually tele present.

The digital signage screen can be placed in malls, hospitals, airports, tradeshows and other high traffic areas. Users can login and initiate a teleconference by using the Aqses App, allowing them to communicate verbally and visually with clients.

The Aqses app offers an exceptional virtual telepresence experience which will enhance customer service while saving countless people from loosing their jobs.

Solution (product or service)

The user is at home or at the office, they can open the Aqses app and log into the assigned kiosk location. Within a few seconds, a video teleconference will be initiated and they will be able to talk to walking by clients, answer their questions and support their requests.

Our in-house development team has developed both software and hardware.

Competitors

The concept of telepresence is mostly famous in the robotics market. Ex: Double Robotics.

One of the few competitors in digital signage teleconferencing is Kioware.

Advantages or differentiators

One of the key advantages of Aqses is that it has been designed from the ground up for better communication and collaboration. Team members have access to chat as well as using the teleconferencing module.
At RoboAds, we are also focusing on improving digital identification for better eKYC (Know your customers). This will allow clients to identify themselves and register their details through the Aqses platform which can further be integrated into 3rd party CRM systems.

Our experience in workforce management and attendance solutions allowed us to build a new form of workforce teleconferencing management.
