The platform
AI for the real world.
Most AI lives in a chat window. Spark Compass lives where people are: airports, stadiums, hotels, hospitals, shopping centers, city streets. One client-controlled, patented contextual intelligence platform runs every deployment.
The cycle is simple and it repeats. Data comes in from any physical source. The platform works out context: who, where, when and what is happening around them. The right content, offer, instruction or alert goes back out to the right interface. Then it learns from what happened next.
Gather
Phones, wearables, beacons, IoT sensors, digital screens, venue systems and operational feeds. Any physical source, one data layer, governed from the first record.
Decide
Contextual intelligence decides how, when and where to communicate. AI agents work as an orchestra under a human conductor. We call it Augmented Intelligence.
Act
The answer reaches the person in the moment, on the interface that suits it: an app, a screen, a smart speaker, a wearable or a staff dashboard.
Integrate, never replace
The platform connects to the systems a client already runs, from flight information and dispatch to loyalty and property management. Hardware-agnostic, with no exclusive provider agreements.
Client-controlled
Every client gets an app interface, built by us or integrated with theirs, and a control dashboard. The client owns the relationship and governs the data.
Build, Operate, Train, Transfer
We build the deployment, operate it, train the local team and transfer the knowledge. Everything is an add-on to the same modular platform.
Operational track record · 2012 to present
Fourteen years. Three continents. Documented results.
Every deployment below ran on the same platform. Each one started with a problem the client needed solved.
Ole Miss
The problem: get more fans in the stands. A fan engagement and reward program built on real-world behavior.
Attendance up more than 20%. Over 400 million data points gathered. Coca-Cola saw a 15% sales increase from location-activated services.
San Diego International Airport
The problem: raise traveler satisfaction, lower stress, grow in-airport spend and give operations better oversight.
Launch partner for Apple indoor navigation and Samsung wearables. 10,000 luggage trackers distributed. Travelers recognized at 2,000+ airports worldwide.
America's Cup
The problem: welcome visitors to the island, guide them beyond the races and keep them engaged during them.
An entire island nation activated. More than 4 million active users, with an augmented reality tracker following the boats.
Wimbledon
The problem: engage and entertain visitors before arrival, in the queue and across the grounds, and understand how they move.
Venue activation integrated with the official app built by IBM. The fan engagement work won awards.
NHS
The problem: support elderly people at home and verify that care providers deliver the service they are paid for.
In-home concierge services integrated with NHS dispatch and communication platforms.
Westfield
The problem: bring convention crowds into the mall and prove to merchants that an offer led to a visit.
Open rate above 75% on location-based offers during San Diego Comic-Con, with proof of presence for merchants.
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing
Official team app, live streaming from races, and a 600-channel telemetry system that brings incompatible data systems into one dashboard with AI agents watching for anomalies.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Sole-source selection for a federal government building, approved by the security agencies.
Greater Manchester
The City of Science city-centre activation for the EU. Proof that the same platform scales from one building to a whole city.
Where it works
One operating system. Every place people gather.
Travel and tourism
Airports, destinations, cruise and whole islands. The traveler journey from the first search to the trip home.
Hospitality
Hotels, resorts and residences with on-premise AI, in-room interfaces and integration with property management systems.
Sports and venues
Stadiums, tournaments, race tracks and teams. Fan engagement, operations and content in one platform.
Healthcare
Care at home, senior living and performance centers under the SparkHealthSync™ program.
Retail
Location-based offers, proof of presence and a shopping concierge that works in the physical store.
Government and cities
Federal buildings, smart city programs and sovereign data solutions that keep data inside the border.
Quantum-Activated
Quantum as the hub of distributed AI.
A quantum computer cannot operate alone. It needs governed data from the physical world and a control layer that connects it to distributed AI data centers. That is the layer Spark Compass has spent fourteen years building.
- Live quantum demonstratorsPortfolio analysis, traveler journey optimization, cyber security and post-quantum cryptography.
- Two quantum platformsWorkloads programmed for IBM Quantum and IonQ systems.
- Distributed AI data center hubsIn development in the United States, Puerto Rico, Croatia and the Middle East, each with space built for a quantum computer.
- Data sovereigntyOn-premise and in-country by design.
Partners
Built with the technology leaders.
Spark Compass is the common denominator. It integrates with any cloud and any device and replaces none of them. Sales, integration and support run through partners and system integrators.
