The ABSL Tech Lab is the successor to the ABSL Start-Up Challenge. We offer young tech companies the opportunity to connect & scaleups with leading international and Polish companies including ABSL member companies.
Data gathering automation
We are looking for solutions allowing us to gather data directly from online resellers websites. How does your tool facilitate the process of data collection and analysis in order to increase online sales revenues based on daily reports?
Effective communication to teenagers (12-15)
We are looking for solutions that will allow us to effectively reach the target group of 12-15 -year-old teenagers with our market communication. How to combine educational activities with establishing a long-lasting relationship with the brand? How to strengthen a level of confidence among young people and encourage them to share the benefits of these relationships with their peers?
Increase the efficiency of online sales
We are looking for solutions that will increase the efficiency of online sales that is initiated by offline activities. How to increase the efficiency of direct sales and verify the effectiveness of product recommendations delivered in specialist surgeries? How to keep customers’ attention and avoid procrastination resulting in purchase delays, while supporting them throughout the decision-making process?
Effective monitoring of our downstream supply chains
We are looking for solutions enabling effective monitoring of our downstream supply chains. How to monitor the location of individual products, both during the delivery process as well as after the product is delivered to retailers?
Virtual Training & Onboarding
We are looking for solutions will allow us to enhance our remote training and onboarding capabilities for example, solutions to track historic experience, current hard & soft skills and interests and utilizing same to recommend future training from a multi-source catalogue. Other solutions of interest would help improve the process of rolling out virtual training and onboarding sessions e.g. breakout into subgroups, ability for participants to raise questions anonymously for trainer and trainee to exchange materials. Solutions need to be easy to use and relatively light on processing resources
Support for Process Optimization
We are looking for solutions which will support management in both identifying and streamlining activities that are not actively generating a value-add to our clients. From an identification perspective, we look for a means of systemically tracking core application usage and time spent on auxiliary tasks such as email management, meetings and calls with the aim of identifying teams and processes which may benefit from additional automation or operational change. We require a deep level of detail with supporting metrics and reporting capabilities which can enable compare and contrast exercises across similar teams and sites functionality, as these will be the drivers for future efficiency initiatives within the Bank. From a streamlining perspective, we are interested in solutions which increase our ability to delegate and track tasks in a user friendly manner. Outside of basic delegation functionality, solutions which incorporate centralized administration, authorized work recipients and an intuitive, graphical exception based UI are of particular interest"
Virtual analyst
We are looking for solutions that have the potential to optimize and automate analytical activity i.e. where a human employee is required to research and assess historical data (free text and/or transactional) available within a company's operating system prior to either classify a client or requirement in a specific way or to forecast future transactional or resourcing requirements. The solution is not intended to replace human oversight completely but to act as a virtual assistant which presents the basic data and a preliminary assessment for further review, allowing our employees to focus on complex tasks and decisions requiring the full use of their experience and intellectual capital.
Career Mobility and Recruitment
As the lines between Operations and Technology continues to blur, we are looking for solutions which can increase knowledge of and interest in Technology - particularly in businesses or applicants which traditionally would not have considered Technology as a viable career option. As a strong believer in career mobility, transferrable skills and the benefits of blended learning, we are looking for solutions which can help increase further the perception of the company as an attractive and innovative organization fully supportive of employee development. Innovative solutions incorporating gamification, integration with targeted Social Media platforms and/ or other similar non-traditional means of attracting internal and external talent within the broader workforce to apply for a role within Technology are welcomed. Our end goal is to have an integrated attraction and application process aligned with modern day usage of technology i.e. a consistent and applicant friendly process laptop, tablet and mobile
