History
[edit]Aislelabs was founded by Nilesh Bansal and Nick Koudas[5][6] After the acquisition of Sysomos by Marketwired, the two created the marketing and analytics platform for the physical brick n' mortar spaces as Aislelabs. While Aislelabs does not have a direct relationship with the University of Toronto, previously Sysomos was a spinoff from the research project BlogScope which started in 2005, and both founders are a recipient of the University of Toronto' Inventor of the Year award.[7]
Aislelabs raised venture capital from Salesforce.com[8] and other institutional investors in 2014.[9][10]
The company serves large venues across North America, Europe, and Asia, including The Dubai Mall.[11] Across the install base, Aislelabs' big data platform processes over 275 billion data points a year.
In 2021, Aislelabs was acquired by Constellation Software, one of the world's largest operators of verticalized SaaS businesses.
In 2023, Garrett Schemmel onboarded as the new CEO of Aislelabs.
