Electronic Informed Consent System for Patient-Centric Clinical Trials (eConsent)
We designed and delivered an electronic informed consent system that replaced slow paper workflows with secure, patient-friendly digital consent. The platform supported hybrid electronic and paper processes, multilingual content, and full auditability while integrating directly with trial systems. As a result, study teams accelerated consent collection, improved participant understanding, reduced site workload, and maintained strong regulatory compliance across decentralized and multisite trial.
Kafka as the Central Hub for Utility Systems with Data Lake Integration
We helped a utility establish Apache Kafka as a central event streaming hub connecting IT and OT systems and feeding a Databricks data lake. The architecture replaced fragile point to point integrations with real time data flows and scalable ingestion of meter and grid events. As a result, the utility gained a unified data foundation, supported advanced analytics and forecasting, and enabled future digital use cases without rearchitecting core systems.
Clinical Data Capture System for Multi-Site Clinical Trials (EDC)
Sotex designed and delivered a configurable electronic data capture system that replaced manual, error prone trial data collection with a structured, validation driven workflow. The platform enabled rapid eCRF design, controlled updates during live studies, and real time data quality checks with full auditability. As a result, study teams reduced queries, accelerated study setup, improved protocol adherence, and gained immediate access to analysis ready clinical datasets across sites.
Enhancing Advanced Metering Operation for Schneider Electric
To unlock the full potential of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Schneider Electric sought to scale and enhance its Advanced Metering Operation (AMO) platform—a critical tool in modern energy and utility management. Sotex Solutions partnered with Schneider to accelerate platform development, improve scalability, and support efficient, sustainable utility operations.
AI-Powered Drone Asset Mapping – From Images to 3D Assets with up to 1m Accuracy
Sotex partnered with Beacon Power Services to extend CAIMS with an AI powered drone asset mapping module that converts aerial imagery into precise geocoordinates and 3D asset models. Using automated object detection, coordinate computation, and 3D reconstruction, the system eliminates manual surveys and achieves sub meter accuracy. As a result, utilities and infrastructure operators can digitize large asset networks faster, reduce field costs, and gain reliable, spatially accurate data at scale.
Enhancing Project Budget Forecasting for Scotiabank
Sotex partnered with Scotiabank to modernize its Project Budget Forecasting Module, enabling more accurate planning and real-time financial oversight across internal projects. The upgraded system introduced dynamic forecasting, automated forecast-versus-actual tracking, and advanced executive dashboards. As a result, the bank improved budgeting accuracy, accelerated reporting cycles, and strengthened financial control and transparency for project leaders and executives.
HrAst: AI-Powered HR Assistant for Streamlined Candidate Interviews
Sotex built HrAst, an AI-powered HR assistant that automates initial candidate interviews through virtual video screening and automated evaluation. The platform standardizes assessments, ranks candidates based on response quality, and enables branded interview portals for employers. As a result, companies reduce manual screening time, accelerate hiring decisions, improve candidate comparison, and create a more consistent and efficient recruitment process.
Accelerating Systematic Reviews with AI-Powered Research Automation
Sotex built an AI-driven research automation platform that streamlines systematic reviews from citation discovery to evidence mapping. The solution automates screening, removes duplicate records, and unifies fragmented workflows into a single research environment. As a result, researchers reduced review timelines by up to 60 percent, improved accuracy, and generated evidence faster to support reliable, data informed decisions.
AgroGuide – AI Assistant Empowering Farmers with Instant Agricultural Insights
We built a RAG powered AI assistant for AgroGuide that enables farmers to ask questions and receive clear, accurate answers in real time. The solution replaced manual browsing with concise, mobile friendly responses drawn from a trusted agricultural knowledge base. As a result, farmers access critical pest and treatment insights faster, improve decision making in the field, and engage more consistently with the platform.
Customer and Asset Information Management System for Beacon Power Services (CAIMS)
We partnered with Beacon Power Services to build CAIMS, an AI powered customer and asset information management system developed with ECG. The platform digitally mapped grid assets, linked customers to transformers, and delivered real time visibility into energy flow and losses. As a result, utilities achieved full customer to transformer tagging, reduced system losses, improved response times, and doubled revenue within two years through better operational control and data driven decisions.
Enhancing Utility Billing Operations for BPS Africa
Sotex partnered with BPS Africa to design and deliver a modern utility billing platform that replaced manual processes with real-time, integrated operations. The system expanded billed customer coverage, unified meter data, automated debt recovery, and delivered live billing insights. As a result, BPS Africa significantly increased billed energy, tripled monthly revenue, reduced outstanding debt, and gained full transparency and control over utility billing operations.
