About us

We want to make every in-store experience count.

Why are we here?

Orquest was born from a conviction: in retail, every interaction counts. However, making it always the best is no easy task. Our mission is to make it happen.

A fundamental part of the in-store experience are the people, the customers and the employees. A big challenge for retailers is to sync the two. Solving this problem is the driving force behind our software. 

We put Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at the service of retailers who want to always offer the best customer experience. How? By placing the right employee, in the right place, at the right time, so that every interaction counts.
