BizSpark Plus startup Gamurai’s recently launched app, VEON@HairExperience, is completely powered by Microsoft Azure. This one-stop solution improves the productivity of local hair salon owners (a traditionally technology-resistant demographic) by virtualising different hairstyles on their customers with 3D face modelling technology.
The app also tracks and analyses customer information, appointments as well as staff resources.
