QPI카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Wings accelerator helped Ohanna AI focus on the 카지노 게임 컬렉션�heroes of e-commerce카지노 게임 컬렉션�

There카지노 게임 컬렉션�s an old saying we카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve all heard that relates to being an inventor or an innovator: 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s nice to think so. But what you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re never told is to make sure beforehand that mousetraps are what are really wanted. If it turns out what people in fact wanted was fly paper, you are going to have problems.

A simple idea. But one that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s easy to forget when we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re involved in all the work of getting a business off the ground. For Narges Rezaei and Paul Dong, that simple revelation, gleaned thanks to their engagement with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Partnerships and Innovation (QPI), specifically enrollment in QPI카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Startup Runway and participation in QPI카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Wings accelerator program, has made all the difference in the development of their company, Ohanna AI.

Founded in Fall 2020, the company was the product of Rezaei카지노 게임 컬렉션�s own experiences working in a company that created warehouse management system software. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I realized there were problems that the software companies were not addressing, either because they didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t have enough resources or they simply couldn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t see the market opportunity.카지노 게임 컬렉션� She could. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I quit my job and I started the company.카지노 게임 컬렉션� Returning to university at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Smith School of Business, she teamed up with fellow student Paul Dong, to work on the idea of 카지노 게임 컬렉션�helping warehouse companies get the most out of their workforce.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

She learned about the Wings program for pre-revenue startups via an email from Rick Boswell, QPI카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Assistant Director of Programs and Operations. The program카지노 게임 컬렉션�s mixture of group sessions on key topics that a startup needed to understand combined with one-on-one coaching was 카지노 게임 컬렉션�exactly what we were looking for,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I thought they카지노 게임 컬렉션�d teach us some theories and then we카지노 게임 컬렉션�d go out by ourselves and try to replicate that in a real-world situation. But it wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t like that. It was much more about feedback and one-on-one coaching sessions and more about how to execute the right market research rather than teaching you the theoretical aspects of creating a venture and market validation.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

For Ohanna AI, that meant they should not just rely on what they thought people in the warehouse industry needed, even based on Rezaei카지노 게임 컬렉션�s own extensive experience. They needed to go out and ask them directly. For this insight, they thank the program카지노 게임 컬렉션�s co-directors Andrew Jackson and Elza Seregelyi. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�They gave us what I now call million-dollar advice: Talk to people and find the actual pain points카지노 게임 컬렉션� 카지노 게임 컬렉션� the real, pressing problems that they faced and needed help with.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We started talking to workers and warehouse management, and we realized that worker retention was the main problem.카지노 게임 컬렉션� That didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t mean turning their backs on their original idea about optimizing warehouse workforce operations, but it told them what they needed to do to achieve that: mobile and web applications that would support employee engagement via personalized training, measures to boost performance and engagement and a feedback system.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We bundled issue tracking, movement density and productivity analysis and other metrics into one single platform that gives managers granular data of what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s going on in the warehouse day in and out,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. But all done with the understanding, as their website puts it, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�that workers in the logistics industry are the heroes that allow the rest of us to enjoy the benefits of e-commerce.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Never have its benefits been more obvious than now during COVID-19 and says Dong, Ohanna AI may be able to help with that as well, by helping trace worker interactions, not only during this current pandemic, but in future as well, even against more common illnesses as flu or bad colds that can still affect productivity.

Having completed Wings, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Our next step,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dong, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�is to get a proof of concept out there, and this is something we have been working on to show investors and customers.카지노 게임 컬렉션� They remain involved with QPI. Rezaei is active in the WE-CAN program for female entrepreneurs, and through QPI, Ohanna AI has received help on Intellectual Property (IP)-related searches and strategies, key steps in their future development. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The intellectual property strategy team gave us unlimited support and we learned so much from them. We could not get far without them,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Rezaei.
