# Podym > Podym is a consultancy that helps mobility, convenience, retail and hospitality operators connect customer experience, POS, payments, data and AI. Founded by Sina Haghighat. Contact: info@podym.com. Podym's core belief: AI is only valuable when the foundations underneath it work. Podym connects a business's systems, data, operations and customer journey first, then identifies where AI and automation can improve performance. ## Services - CX & Loyalty: design connected journeys that increase loyalty and repeat visits. - POS, Payments & Systems: connect the technology your locations depend on. - AI & Automation: apply AI where it creates real operational value. - AI Studio: turn future ideas into visuals, films and campaign assets (https://aistudio.podym.com/). ## AI Readiness Audit A free online assessment at https://ai.podym.com/ that takes under five minutes. It scores a business across the six Podym Pillars and produces a personalised AI Readiness Report with a score, gaps and blind spots, and an action plan. The six Podym Pillars: 1. Operational Foundations: are core processes documented, consistent and reliable? 2. Data & Systems: is data clean, connected and trusted across the business? 3. Customer Journey & Experience: do customers get a consistent experience at every stage? 4. AI & Automation Strategy: is there a clear view of what to automate and a plan to deploy it? 5. People & Change: is the team equipped and supported to work alongside AI? 6. Governance & Value Realisation: can the business measure the return and govern AI responsibly? ## Track record Sina Haghighat has led POS, payments, loyalty and customer operations initiatives for global retail and mobility operators: 5,000+ sites deployed and supported, $7M+ annual operational savings delivered, $24M a day in transaction volume operated. ## Links - Homepage: https://podym.com/ - AI Readiness Audit: https://ai.podym.com/ - Book a discovery call: https://calendar.app.google/1adkZuh13pw74oAK6 - Privacy notice: https://podym.com/privacy/ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podym
