Safari AI helps its enterprise clients auto-measure the most important physical activity in their operations. Using computer vision, the company leverages clients' already-existing IP cameras as an AI layer over their video feed to provide them data they've never had access to before. For example curbFlow provides throughput and live wait times for Legoland, vehicle donations at Goodwill drive thru lanes, pedestrian counts for Taco Bell, and utilization and real time occupancy at parking lots. curbFlow replaces manual measurement, expensive hardware, and cases where clients aren't measuring their KPI's at all.
