Revolutionising the analysis of dynamic data relationships
Pometry Ltd is a leader in the field of real-time graph analysis and offers a time-based graph platform. Unlike conventional solutions, which require complex data transformations or special memories, Pometry Ltd’s technology enables comprehensive and constantly evolving graph data to be analysed immediately. This approach covers not only static relationships but also the temporal dimension, in other words, how data changes, connects and behaves over time.
The platform is used in sectors such as finance, insurances and social networks, in which the understanding of complex and dynamic relationships is of crucial importance. In addition, Pometry Ltd combines high speed with in-depth analytical capability, which enables users to uncover hidden patterns, identify cases of fraud and develop AI applications of the next generation, to transform constantly changing data into strategic insights.
