Cramstack has gained experience over the years on building processes consisting of image recognition, text analyzers and insight recommendation systems which helps their client to fully utilize data. Working with BCG, Cramstack successfully developed a Data Analytics platform for the Ministry of Power Energy and Mineral Resources. This Platform worked in conjunction with their data sources from files, excel files and images scattered across various platforms and combined them in one cohesive dashboard displaying data from all their power plants and stations.All this data used to be spread out across different platforms and would have been considered too clunky to go through one at a time, however with this system, tracking the plants and keeping tabs on all metrics turned into a breeze thus accelerating their decision making processes from their finance to their operations and management departments.
Cramstack creates these analytical dashboards tailored for their specific customers to reduce operations bottlenecks for them.

This is used to make consumer segmentation for the banks thus making it easy to control credit and issuance of it. All these combined features and data solution implementations give Cramstack the ability to collect, process and utilize data to recommend decisions to their customers.
