Sophisticated algorithms then segments, refines and interprets the information in a quantitative and qualitative manner to automatically present metrics and analyses through a user-friendly dashboard. SMB successfully launched the first generation of Klarity in mid-2013, which quickly gained positive feedback from both enterprises and advertising agencies.

Wrapidity

Acquisition in 2017
Wrapidity is a Web Data Extraction company. Web Data Extraction is the process of turning unstructured (text) and semi-structured (HTML) Web content into structured data (e.g., relational, JSON, RDF) so that it can be queried "like" a database. Most organizations, acquire data from the web by purchasing datasets (CSV or SQL dumps) or by asking an engineer to code a web scraper (e.g., in Python). If you are lucky, your engineers have access to some UI that helps you building the scraper. However, buying datasets is expensive and they become obsolete very quickly, while building (or worse... maintaining) scrapers requires massive engineering time, and engineers are expensive. Wrapidity replaces scraping engineers with an AI, thus making the process of creating and maintaining wrappers automated, scalable and cheap! You only need to give us a small sample of the data you want, our AI will figure out the rest, like: what websites to crawl, how to fill the forms, how the data looks like on the website, and the best way of extracting the entire content, continuously feeding it to the information system of your organisation.
