Fyma –  the only self-serve computer vision platform in the world

Fyma solves 2 problems: 

  • Getting better ROI from cameras and related infrastructure. They do more than just act as cameras and provide more valuable insights for businesses, local government, and real estate owners about their customers. Fyma solves the problem with its AI platform, which takes about one minute to set up and does not require additional complex or expensive infrastructure, providing fast ROI.
  • GDPR and privacy. Many AI computer vision tech companies carry out facial recognition, which has seen businesses fined massive amounts, customer and citizen privacy infringed, and biased and racial profiling concerns raised in law enforcement settings. Fyma solves this problem by never detecting or processing human faces. It achieves this by blurring all human faces when their AI algorithms are trained. So the AI never learns what a face is, ever. It’s a new standard in ethical AI that completely protects personal privacy. The Fyma platform also never stores any camera feed data, only the metadata. Fyma also practices the highest levels of compliance with GDPR across its tech stack, processes, contracts.

Main customer segments

  • Urban planners
  • Commercial real estate owners
  • Out of home advertising businesses

International projects, case studies + wall of fame

  • Dutch Grand Prix – the Dutch national rail company partnered with Fyma, attaching cameras to drones plugged into the Fyma to get insights into crowd behaviours at the Dutch Grand Prix.
  • Viru shopping centre – the most profitable shopping mall in the Nordics used Fyma during Covid to get a clear picture about footfall, based on actual data, not impressions. And used that data to guide how shopping mall retail tenants were being charged rent. And, Fyma was able to provide gender, age, and behaviour data, which, combined with point of sales data, gave Viru untapped and comprehensive insights into retail behaviours and spend.
  • Ulemiste City trial, Estonia: Space planning for this innovative business park. Fyma was used in the car parking to assist with better car parking, which resulted in reduced CO2 by 1.12 metric tons of CO2e/ month.
  • LMT Latvia:  A collaboration with a leading mobile operator to use AI-powered urban analytics for traffic analytics, crowd management, urban mobility analytics.
  • Tallinn City Government: Working with the local government to replace and improve traffic monitoring by using Fyma’s AI platform instead of sensors that do not provide sufficient levels of data and would take a lot more time and money.
