We provide a unique toolset that measures and tracks ship emissions from a computer on land or at sea. 75 countries have signed up to the UN's "MARPOL" regulations, but none of them have an automated system that can cope with the numbers of ships involved, or can measure emissions to the level of accuracy required. We have a patent pending on our design for the monitor and the tracking software which allows regulators - coastguards and port authorities - as well as shipowners to track vessels.

Avoiding unnecessary product packaging by offering zero-waste and technological alternative. CupClub uses RFID to keep track of how packaging is being handle in the supply chain and then developing an optimised method to reduce wastage whilst increasing efficiency. Their technology can also provide consumer behaviour data by tracking retail sales and location information. These statistics can offer businesses greater insights into customer trading patterns.
Two versions of CupClub will exist; one designed for food service restaurants and cafés and another designed for retail and office environments. Their revenue model consists of a small standard rate that is charged per drink, which is then multiplied by the average number of sales per day. A tiered level of contracts ranging from £50 to over £1m are offered. Integrating the CupClub technology also carries its own set-up costs and a further fee applies to third-parties that wish to gain access to analytics collected by CupClub.
