YQ App

What YQ App does

YQ app GmbH is a Vienna-based AI software company, founded in October 2022, that sells a predictive business-intelligence platform aimed at physical, in-person businesses across retail, food and beverage, hospitality, office environments, transportation, healthcare, education and other verticals. The platform combines proprietary anonymous in-environment sensors with external and public data sources, processed by an AI-driven neural network, to produce real-time customer-behavior, workforce, and operational analytics; it explicitly avoids collecting or storing camera images. The product is organized into five named modules — OmniLens (360° data overview), Customer Pulse (behavioral pattern recognition and journey mapping), Edge Foresight AI (scenario modeling and trend prediction), Resource Guardian (workforce scheduling and optimization) and Insight Hub (early-warning and automated reporting) — delivered through a unified dashboard interface.

The company monetizes via three streams: SaaS platform subscriptions, proprietary hardware sensor sales, and professional implementation and support services, with custom quote-based pricing and annual billing. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-oriented, targeting C-level executives in the DACH region and broader Europe through direct field sales, inside sales follow-up on demo requests, and free personalized demos as the primary acquisition mechanism. The firm is founder-led by four co-founders (Dúlio Silva as CEO, Colin Norton as CRO, Patrick Fodor as CTO, and Klaudia Sood as Board Member) with roughly 13 named professionals spanning data science, ML engineering, backend, frontend, operations, sales, and legal; commercial customer acquisition only launched in 2025 and no external funding rounds, named customer logos, or disclosed revenue figures are present in the available data.

Regional players

• Walkbase (Ubermetrics): European-origin in-store analytics and shopper journey platform — comparable product offering to YQ App with strong overlap in the European retail market YQ App targets.

Direct peers

• RetailNext: Specialist in in-store retail analytics combining sensor data (including non-camera options) with AI to deliver traffic, shopper behavior, and operational insights — directly comparable to YQ App's retail-focused use cases.
• Aislelabs: Wi-Fi and sensor-based location analytics for retail, hospitality, and venues — a more direct niche competitor to YQ App's customer-behavior and workforce-optimization modules.
• Placer.ai: Foot-traffic and location-analytics platform using anonymized sensor and mobile data to deliver audience insights for retail, F&B, hospitality, and real estate — closely mirrors YQ App's vertical breadth and predictive analytics positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights: Enterprise CRM and customer-data platform with predictive analytics; represents the broad-incumbent alternative that enterprises may choose over a specialist like YQ App.
• Palantir Foundry: Enterprise AI/data-operations platform used for operational and customer analytics in physical operations — overlaps with YQ App at the high end of enterprise predictive intelligence.
• Sensormatic Solutions (ShopperTrak): Johnson Controls-owned retail traffic and inventory intelligence platform with global scale; overlaps with YQ App's in-person retail analytics, but operates as part of a much broader hardware-and-software portfolio.
• Salesforce Einstein / Tableau: Embedded AI analytics across CRM and BI — competes with YQ App for the 'single source of truth' decision-making budget, particularly with enterprises already standardized on Salesforce.

Emerging players

• Prism Skylabs: Computer-vision and sensor analytics for retail and physical spaces — partial overlap with YQ App's customer-behavior and operational-insight use cases, though more camera-centric.
