Our software development quarters are in Bucharest, very close to Piata Victoriei. Still, we have offices worldwide, some examples being Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Poland, Vietnam, and China. Companies in the industry know us as the biggest B2B marketplace, having hundreds of thousands of registered companies worldwide. Over the last five years, we have been a leading participant in digitizing the industry, having built products that automatize processes that not so long ago were done manually. We expanded to AI products – web-based, Android, and hardware products with industrial cameras and high-performance image processing in the last two years. We have built a core team that includes top researchers in AI, highly skilled & very experienced developers and DevOps and an overall attitude oriented towards building high-quality products.
