Company Overview & Strategic Focus
Agereh is a technology company developing and deploying AI-powered wireless sensing and data intelligence solutions that provide real-time operational insights in transportation, logistics and infrastructure settings.
The Company’s platform uses sophisticated sensors, location technologies and AI to collect and analyze movement, activity and usage data at scale.
Agereh’s strategy is to deploy its technology platform at a large-scale enterprise level with a focus on generating recurring SaaS revenue streams, and integrating its solutions into complex and heavily trafficked environments where real-time data can enhance efficiency, safety and decision making.
Platform and Product Capabilities
Agereh’s technology portfolio is made up of modular, wireless solutions that do not require a lot of infrastructure to operate. Its main capabilities include real-time people flow analytics, asset tracking, and smart sensor systems that contribute to a single data platform.
Utilizing AI and machine learning, Agereh’s platform converts raw sensor data into useful insights allowing customers to better utilize their space, monitor their operational performance, and improve the throughput of their operations in dynamic environments like airports, transit hubs and logistics facilities.
Commercial Transition & Market Opportunity
The enhanced governance structure at Agereh is occurring concurrently with the Company’s transition from a research and development company to one that focuses on commercially delivering its technology solutions.
The Company is moving from pure R&D to positioning its solutions for enterprise-wide implementation, where long sales cycles, multiple stakeholders and ongoing service contracts are common.
There is increasing demand for AI-driven operational intelligence, as infrastructure operators seek data driven tools to handle capacity issues, improve efficiency and lower costs. By focusing on wireless, scalable deployments, Agereh is removing barriers to entry for customers that want to implement its solutions and is enabling the Company to implement its solution at multiple locations.
Governance as an Execution Enabler

Governance frameworks are now widely recognized as essential for companies that aspire to become major players in the enterprise space, particularly in regulated or mission critical areas.
By building a strong leadership team before launching a large-scale commercial effort, Agereh is de-risking the execution of its plan and aligning its organizational structure with the expectations of institutional partners, customers and long-term investors.
Bottom Line
