Paying the smart way

The problem Facentity solves

Making use of Machine Learning and Web Development to enhance the shopping experience of users and bring down cost, time and resources of payment methods. We are developing a smart payment method to reduce the time of payment, the cost of accounting for shops and make the consumer experience easy and seamless making use of the face recognition model. Its benefits are

  1. No need to carry mobile phones or the internet or cash

  2. No pollution due to thermally generated receipts, thus saving 10M trees a year.

  3. Less demand for plastic cards for payments.

  4. Monthly accounting becomes really easy.

  5. Saving the time of entering credentials and swiping cards

  6. Unique transaction id for 3rd party authentication

Challenges we ran into

Increasing the accuracy of the face recognition model was a big challenge. There were also some problems in integrating the backend Nodejs server with our python model.
