Built on the Mobiz platform, it offered a wide range of advanced features such as a robust security system, multi-tenant organization infrastructure, support for ad-hoc data rooms, eIDAS compatible digital signatures, cryptographically verifiable audit trails of all record changes, AI-powered record classification, and digital signature workflows. During the stabilization and pilot user testing phase, we realized the potential of merging the Records system with our GoRetail project. /timeline/2021-goretail/ Tue, 30 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000 youremail@domain.com (Some Person) /timeline/2021-goretail/ We introduced Go-Retail as a pilot initiative to evaluate its potential against LS-Retail/LS-One powered POS systems. Given that LS-Retail is a robust, yet aging platform, we sought to explore the possibility of developing an advanced solution that could facilitate seamless, contactless, and mobile experiences. To this end, we conducted research on WeChat and began prototyping ways to integrate similar functionality into existing retail infrastructure investments. Leveraging our existing technology, we rapidly developed a concept for a “contactless sales and service experience designer. /timeline/2021-posturinn/ Tue, 30 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000 youremail@domain.com (Some Person) /timeline/2021-posturinn/ In 2021, we continued our collaboration with the Icelandic Postal office to further enhance our digital capabilities by developing a mobile app that allows customers to register packages and shipments. Our development team at Mobiz played a key role in guiding the Posturinn development group and gradually transferring responsibilities to them. We were proud to have contributed to the modernization of their development environment and workflows, transitioning from in-house servers without proper testing or CI infrastructure to a state-of-the-art development infrastructure running on AWS. /timeline/2020-postur/ Mon, 30 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000 youremail@domain.com (Some Person) /timeline/2020-postur/ The Iceland Postal Office sought to modernize their customer facing services by fully digitalizing their operations. This presented a significant challenge, as their infrastructure had been built and maintained in SAP over the last 30 years. The goal was to create a new app capable of servicing tens of thousands of users simultaneously, with real-time updates from SAP, while also upgrading the entire operation infrastructure from traditional server hosting to AWS, incorporating automation, optimization, and operational improvements. /timeline/2020-records/ Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000 youremail@domain.com (Some Person) /timeline/2020-records/ The challenge was clearly out there: Our business scenarios were increasingly requiring the ability to generate immutable and secure records, and to stamp data with cryptographic keys and sign documents. At the same time, we saw innovative solutions emerging from companies like Google and Amazon, specifically when Amazon launched QLDB, their blockchain-inspired quantum ledger. Recognizing the potential opportunities, we applied for a grant with Rannís, and were fortunate to have it approved. /timeline/2019-heartbeat/ Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000 youremail@domain.com (Some Person) /timeline/2019-heartbeat/ Wanting to sharpen our product focus we continued actively researching different ecosystems and experimenting with complex integrations. To fund our research and development, we kept on doing on contracting work and allocating any profit margins towards R&D.
