The Challenges The production of a pair of shoes involves numerous steps and teams. A key part of this process is creating the Bill of Materials (BOM), which requires input from multiple departments based on supplied design specifications. The BOM process involves many teams (upper, outsole, lining), each responsible for specific parts. Teams manually reference supplier catalogs to compile material lists. The process is time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to errors. Collaboration across departments can be inefficient and inconsistent. Therefore, the client needed an AI-driven solution to streamline this process and reduce manual effort. Given Ekotek’s track record in delivering AI solutions for the manufacturing sector, they selected us as their trusted technology partner. The Solutions Ekotek developed a tailored AI agent to support the client’s production workflow and automate the BOM creation process. This AI agent integrates Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies to meet the specific needs of the client. Computer vision: Analyze and understand visual inputs such as technical shoe drawings and material images. It detects components, performs image segmentation to separate different shoe parts, and classifies materials based on visual cues. This allows for automatic recognition of parts such as uppers and soles, critical in understanding which materials are required. NLP: Read and comprehend unstructured text data from various documents (supplier catalogs, material specifications, and historical BOMs). It continuously learns from new data, enabling it to make contextual decisions based on prior patterns and documentation. By combining these technologies, the AI agent can autonomously parse documents and images, extract relevant information, and suggest or even generate BOM files without human intervention. The Results Ekotek successfully delivered the AI agent to the client, significantly reducing manual work for their teams. The solution streamlines the design and BOM creation process, improves accuracy, and enhances production efficiency. Key features of the AI Agent: Computer vision: Analyze and understand visual inputs such as technical shoe drawings and material images. It detects components, performs image segmentation to separate different shoe parts, and classifies materials based on visual cues. This allows for automatic recognition of parts such as uppers and soles, critical in understanding which materials are required. NLP: Read and comprehend unstructured text data from various documents (supplier catalogs, material specifications, and historical BOMs).

The Challenges After the successful launch of their token vesting portal, the client team entrusted Ekotek with another critical project in their ecosystem: an exclusive NFT marketplace for their player community. With their upcoming release of the 10,000 NFT collection, aggregated marketplaces are just not enough. The client’s CEO remarked that a private NFT marketplace was necessary to fully display NFT properties, transact with its own token and facilitate secondary sales. The Solutions For the web3 game creators to list the NFT collection up for sale, and for game players to purchase with their in-game tokens, we integrated two similar crypto wallets from the game: MetaMask and Wallet Connect then configured AOG as the exclusive payment method. As each NFT possesses its own attributes such as Mythology, Level, and Class, the team decided to go with a simple but effective filter so that users can quickly sort through items on the homepage or NFT storage to find what they need. Users can then click on an NFT to explore more information including description, attributes, chain information, current listing, and recent activities, then make the purchase. Most importantly, every page has a switch button for users to view listings on the whole marketplace or just their own, which we believed is a huge convenience in the user experience. Throughout the development process, we made sure that the site’s look and feel stay consistent with the brand. And in just under 2 months, the feature-rich NFT marketplace was developed, tested, and officially launched! The Results Since the official release in April 2022, the game’s NFT marketplace has powered more than 10,000 transactions, raking in a total volume of 4M AOG tokens (equivalent to $560,000) within 6 months.  Extremely pleased with the outcome, the client’s CEO commented that the final product was “fast, reliable, affordable, and most importantly, secured.” And our collaboration definitely won’t stop here, as the game community is rapidly growing with new gameplay and features.  So if your NFT game is looking for a reliable tech partner with a powerful white-label NFT marketplace solution – Ekotek got you covered. Just drop us a message here so our consultants can get back to you with the most suitable solution, as soon as possible. Read More

The Challenges In real estate, especially the high-end segment, KYC is a crucial process to verify sellers, buyers, and the financials involved. The client initially employed the traditional method that requires applicants to send their forms and documents via post. Even though it guarantees security, it poses a tedious and time-consuming task for all parties involved. To modernize the KYC process while upholding the security standards, the client team decided to develop their own electronic KYC (eKYC) and asked for assistance from Ekotek. The Solutions A compact team of 5 Ekotek specialists was entrusted with the project. To make sure every document type and approval requirement is accounted for, our Business Analyst worked closely with the client team to sample and categorize applications. Afterwards came UX/UI design and website system development, with Glocaly kept updated weekly on the progress. We defined the prominent features of the eKYC including: User signup can be done via verified email or international phone number Multiple-step application with auto-checking and formatting Document upload via file selection or device camera  Users can request to edit their information and access the edit history User information is stored in an on-premise database, which the client team can swiftly integrate with existing data for easier management. The development team also ensured that the identification process complies with country-specific security regulations.  The Results After 10 weeks of development, the eKYC system was successfully launched. Say goodbye to print jobs and shipping fees, as users are now able to fill in their information and upload documents within minutes. For the staff of the client, this means less paperwork, better data management, and another step toward digital transformation. Read More

The Challenges The client contacted Ekotek to envision their goal: migrating the entire seminar system onto Line.

Time is also a matter we need to take into consideration, as the integration is expected to launch within 3 months. The Solutions This challenge was tackled by our full-cycle web development team from proposal, and design to production. Communication was kept close to the client with weekly reports and bi-monthly demos.   For admins to freely set up seminars and seamlessly manage users, we incorporated the following features: Admin and user management with details, permissions, status and action Seminar settings with detailed information, registration duration and custom messages Customizable homepage with header, footer and rich menu Chat function for mass audience and individuals The system was built with open API to connect with third-party applications such as chatbots and landing pages. We also employed conversion tracking for when users register and complete seminars, plus a tagging system for admins to easily flag and manage user segments. The Results Within the expected timeline of 3 months, the seminar system was completely developed and integrated into the Line app, making seminar access and communication much more optimized. Every time a user logs into Line, they can check for upcoming events in an instant, then sign up and join in with just a few clicks.
