About Yieldr
Whether it’s helping companies reach the right consumers to sell
their products or guiding an airline to fill empty seats, it’s in our
DNA to liberate businesses from traditional, inefficient processes.
We believe five things to be true:
- Relevant communication to end customers is currently being executed poorly
- Brands should be liberated from inefficient/ineffective controlling forces (the walls)
- Efficiency contributes to scalable and sustainable growth
- Oversupply exists in almost every major sector
- Software and automation will transform traditional structures into
efficient processes, freeing up the user’s time to focus on more
valuable activities.
Our name has always been our purpose. We help businesses derive
maximum yield from their existing resources to boost efficiencies, cut
out waste and ultimately drive revenue. We will never build a product
that strays from this purpose.
