Corner Stone Solutions

Software, artificial intelligence and connected-device work sit side by side in what Corner Stone Solutions offers organisations that want to modernise how they operate. The company, which also trades as Cornerstone Solutions, presents itself as an IT services and consulting firm, and its current site stresses expertise in healthcare, food delivery, education, hospitality and entertainment.

Technology on the service list

The older description sets out a long range of capabilities. Artificial intelligence and machine learning come first, alongside robotic process automation, big data, blockchain and the internet of things. It says it writes software for robots that operate on land, air and water. Augmented and virtual reality, quantum computing, Python and React development, enterprise software, mobile apps and PHP work are also listed. On the commerce and content side it names Magento, Drupal, WordPress, CRM platforms and commerce cloud systems, plus integration between them.

Computer vision for safety and operations

The current site gives concrete examples of AI applied to camera images. They include classifying and counting containers for billing, detecting incidents in both closed and open spaces, analysing behaviour to spot threats, and flagging unauthorised access through facial recognition. Environmental monitoring watches for smoke, fire and fog. In agriculture, the firm describes systems that identify livestock and breeds, assess quality, and track medicine and feed. Further uses are factory incident detection, safety for labourers, theft prevention at self-checkout, and product search from a live image. It names banking and financial services, consumer goods and retail, healthcare and life sciences, and public services as sectors it serves.

A consulting method

Its business consulting pages describe a six-step process: market and industry research through interviews and surveys, tailored solutions, training and ongoing support for the client's team, continuous tracking of results, a roadmap with resources and timelines, and a written report that summarises the analysis and outcomes. Advice areas run from health and care services to HR, marketing and sales, finance and cost reduction, IT, and expansion into international markets.

Examples of past work

Earlier case studies include an ordering platform built for Subway with a store back end for payments and orders, allergy consent for students, customised orders and automatic reordering. A wholesaler with a large product inventory moved to NetSuite after outgrowing the way its website handled a growing catalogue.
