About Plassio

E-commerce merchants invest substantial sums to drive users to their shops, yet they fail to provide customers with personalized shopping experiences and force them to manually search and filter for suitable products. The result: only 2 to 3 percent convert. Meanwhile, prospective buyers seek advice from external AIs, but online merchants are just one of thousands of shops there, losing brand control, data sovereignty, and direct customer relationships. Plassio solves this exact dilemma. We bring our AI sales agent directly into the merchant’s online shop, bringing conversational commerce to all relevant touchpoints. For example, centrally in the search bar, during product searches or comparisons, or proactively when purchase signals are detected. Plassio understands the most complex customer intentions, has an overview of the entire shop, and proactively guides customers toward purchase completion. It manages the entire sales consultation, displays the right products, and makes targeted cross-sells in a natural dialogue. Even after purchase, Plassio remains the personal point of contact, combining proactive sales and complete customer service in one system. Technically, we combine generative AI with deterministic business logic for factual accuracy without hallucinations, fully customizable in design, behavior, and sales strategy. At the same time, the system learns with every interaction across all shops in the network, becoming even more precise at selling. Plassio converts customers today directly in the merchant’s shop while preparing them for the future of agentic commerce, where AI agents autonomously shop for their users.

ARCIS

ARCIS builds an AI-powered decision layer for logistics and freight operations. Many logistics teams today still work with fragmented processes across TMS systems, Excel files, emails, PDFs, and the individual experience of dispatchers. This results in manual work, slow handoffs, missing information, and inefficient planning decisions. ARCIS was founded by Onur Yılmaz and Birkan Kolcu, two computer engineers whose collaboration began 14 years ago as fellow students, roommates, and long-term technical partners. Onur combines computer science expertise, business-building experience, an MSc in Informatics from Technical University of Munich, experience at Intel, and strong connections to Munich’s startup ecosystem. Birkan brings technical depth from his computer science degree at the University of Arizona as well as practical experience in cloud engineering and scalable systems. The focus on logistics emerged from close relationships with logistics companies and operators in the team’s network. As these conversations increased, a recurring pattern became clear: high-quality operational decisions are still made manually across scattered systems and personal experience. ARCIS helps logistics teams connect this information and make decisions around dispatch planning, load-truck-driver matching, capacity utilization, document processes, and operational exceptions faster and more reliably—without replacing existing systems.
