In addition, with ICU API, loyalty, and VIP schemes can be managed to identify key customers to improve engagement."

“In simple terms an API or Application Programming Interface is a method that enables one piece of software to talk to another piece of software. By implementing the API version of ICU organizations will be able to identify customers visiting their websites using facial recognition and age verification. Using ICU algorithms developed exclusively by ITL, this multi-application product is easy to use, simple to integrate, affordable and has 99.88 % world-leading facial recognition accuracy: https://www.innovative-technology.com/icu/#accuracy”

Concluding Andrew said "ICU API can also be used to help businesses through this difficult period as they find an increased level of homeworking provision due to the pandemic.

It could also be used to remotely verify people online to avoid visits to public buildings."

ICU API is simple to integrate with existing cameras and software, users can be added or removed quickly and easily with no hidden costs.
