Discover some of our innovation projects

SARA Robotics, we care together

SARA's goal is to create a better quality of life for both care professionals and their clients. The robot works as a social entity in nursing homes and hospitals to improve the quality of care. We do this by developing together with the client, because only then you know what is really needed to make a difference.

Dronesurance

Dronesurance is a complete insurance solution that allows insurers to offer on-demand drone insurance to their customers. In doing so, the turnkey solution Dronesurance responds directly to the changing dynamics of the drone market. Dronesurance includes a risk model to determine mass market premiums based on predictive analytics, a platform to handle insurance applications and claims processing, and an application for the drone pilot himself to purchase this insurance.

How it all began...

Bright Cape is a story of discovery and navigation in the fascinating world of data.

Discovering new worlds behind every cape

Since 2010, we saw the vastly growing new technologies around us continuously create new and exciting business opportunities in every industry. In 2014, we trusted our inner compass and started to make our way in discovering these new worlds for ourselves. We pioneered our way through the world of data engineering, trusting on our expertise and experience, and started our Bright Cape journey.

From the first day on, we aim to fill the gap for our clients between science and reality. Since 2014, we have invested to bring data-driven insights, multidisciplinary expertise and talent to businesses tackling small and big data challenges. We do so by creating custom-made, as well as standardized data solutions that are applicable, scalable and lasting.

Partnerships and innovation

2015 had a rocket-like start. In a short period of time, our organization grew from zero to eight employees. We expanded our expertise from solely data engineering towards data science and advanced data analytics. Process mining became one of our main tools to help companies cut back on inefficiencies and improve business processes. It will come as no surprise, we therefore became the very first partner of SAS and Celonis in the Benelux.

In addition, we partnered up with EIT Digital, giving us access the European market for several successful innovation projects, such as:

  • SIA (Smart Industry Assistant),
  • SARA (Smart Autonomous Robotic Assistant),
  • DroneSurance, UAV Retina (Unmanned Air Vehicles), and
  • OWL Logistics (Optimizing Warehousing and Logistics)

Data-driven Experiences and Human Data Interaction

Our company proposition became even stronger and more unique with the addition of human-centred methodologies through our expertise in Human Data Interaction (HDI), former Data-driven Experiences (DDEX). This expansion of our core approach has been giving us the tools, techniques and opportunities to combine user experience (UX) and customer experience (CX) with data science. This way, we ensure our solutions to solve the right problems for the right people at the right time.

Platinum partner of Celonis for process mining

From 2018, Bright Cape grew and professionalized even further. Our process mining implementations sky-rocked. On top of that, in 2021 achieved the status of Platinum Sales and Implementation partner for Celonis in Europe.

Looking ahead

Our team of experts keeps on growing, our consulting expertise is improving, and we are loving it. From 2018 and up, we could not fit our entire team in the same hotel for our ski-trip. For us? A huge milestone.

From here, the only way is up. We will continue our path from good to great, further building on our dream to make the world more sustainable, by creating and implementing data solutions that are lasting. Together with our people and our clients, we challenge ourselves to inspire, change and guide others towards success in their data journey.
