Battle-hardened methodologies and AI deployments
Background
The founding team of Supertype met in 2015 having sold their previous chatbot and marketing automation company to a SEGA-backed venture in Singapore. They are united by a common vision to build a new kind of technology enabler that puts real-world results first, one supported with a strong education arm alongside its consulting practice. Thus Algoritma was born in 2016, followed by Supertype 3.5 years later.The ignition of Supertype came when 7 Mathematics graduate students from the country's top universities banded together deep in the Covid-19 pandemic, eager to rebuild the economic landscape of a post-pandemic Indonesia. With Algoritma and Supertype as the twin engines of growth, Supertype has since grown to become the go-to analytics consultancy for Indonesia's leading enterprises. We're 100% owned by the founders, who to this day lead the team in all aspects of engineering and product development.
Founded in 2016.
Now serving clients from 8 countries.
Here are our 3 pillars of commitment to you.
1. Results from Day One
By marrying a deep understanding of theoretical Artificial Intelligence with strong domain-specific knowledge, we deliver AI builds and automation solutions tuned to the needs of the business. The result is a system that puts the business first, and the technology second.
2. In Your Best Interest
Traditional consulting firms are incentivised to either (1) keep you in the dark, with a never-ending engagement, or (2) to sell you more than you need by earning a commission on the software they recommend. We don't do either and have been fully independent from our inception.
3. No Broken Analytics Mantra
Modern analytics rarely work in isolation — they will break at some point and require periodic check-ups and maintenance as the underlying data changes. We believe in a proactive approach to analytics, and commit to providing excellent after-sales service at no extra cost to keep your analytics running smoothly.
