Retail tech unicorn Trax acquires European AI-based tech firm

Trax aims for mainstream adoption of real-time store monitoring.

Singapore-headquartered retail tech startup Trax has just completed its acquisition of Paris-based AI-powered tech solutions firm Qopius, said in a press release.

The acquisition of Qopius is expected to double efforts in pushing real-time store monitoring and autonomous inventory management into mainstream adoption.

The Qopius acquisition follows three other recent acquisitions by Trax, where it bought LenzTech in China, Shopkick in the US, and Planorama in Europe. These acquisitions occurred in H2 2019.

Trax is currently valued at $2b (US$1.4b).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
