With the investment on board and enhanced capacity, in addition to the large corporate clients that we currently serve, we are targetting to introduce “Smart Store” to over 5,000 outlets including movie theaters, retail, and hospitality businesses in the next 18 months.”

As per an official statement, Pulse has been used by various clients such as PVR Director’s Cut and Australia’s juice chain JOOST among others. Pulse can be currently used in movie theaters, retail businesses, restaurants, and hotels.

Talking about their product Pulse, Preksha Kaparwan, co-founder and CMO, Realbox said, “Our flagship product PULSE, which is an intelligent business dashboard can be installed on top of any existing POS, enabling businesses to use data analytics without changing their existing technology. This proprietary technology is capable of connecting to any business management software and can generate real-time actionable insights thereby helping the management in better decision making.”
