About Us
Empowering Commercial Fleets with Innovative IoT Solutions.
Enabling Smarter Fleet Management Is Our Ultimate Goal!
Our winning strategy is to provide easy to use plug-and-play intelligent IoT and 5G connected devices to help make commercial trucking fleet owners and operators operate safer, better, and more profitably.
Founded in December 2017, Quantuity Analytics officially launched operations in February 2020 with a vision to revolutionize the commercial trucking industry through edge AI, IoT, and 5G wireless communications technology.
In 2022, we were honored to join the DMZ Startup Incubator in the Supply AI stream and the Black Innovators Program, further driving our mission to enhance Canadian supply chains with AI and 5G-powered solutions.
Our Timeline
After winning the OXFORD PROPERTIES Big Data Hackathon with his team in November 2017 (Team "Quantuity", Hitesh Mestry and Brad Sastook), Mark Donaldson registers the corporation Quantuity Analytics Inc., including all digital domain names and uses Toronto's Logojoy AI (now looka.com) to create all corporate logo and leterhead assets, realizing that the future of technology is related to big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, while completing his undergraduate degree at the Ted Rogers School of Management; a Bachelor's of Commerce degree in Business Technology Management at Toronto Metropolitan University (Ryerson University). Mark would graduate in June 2019 to begin a career in wealth management as a financial planning consultant.
At the top of the pandemic, Mark Donaldson, decides to leave his short career in the wealth management industry in January 2020 and operate Quantuity Analytics Inc. full-time as an international electronics engineering technology, machine learning, and artificial intelligence consultant. Mark specialized in electronics engineering, RF wireless engineering, electronics hardware design and PCB layout, data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence on edge devices. He also consulted cloud IT services to SMEs and MNCs helping them perform database and hosting administration, upgrades, and migrations on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
During his time consulting, Mark would later apply to and be accepted into The DMZ startup incubator program for the SupplyAI stream in October 2021, working towards innovating a novel solution for brake measurement and monitoring of commercial vehicles using wireless TinyML edge AI smart sensors. However, because of the social distancing legislation and not being able to meet in person, Mark chose to defer his application to the following year in 2022 when everyone would return to in person meetings at The DMZ in downtown Toronto.
After spending several months working non stop, the validation of the technology solution's functional requirements were met in November 2022. Mark filed the first provisional patent in December 2022 for Quantuity Analytics Inc. with his embedded machine learning engineer, Vimal Kumar Parthasarathy, after proving the technology solution worked for push rod stroke length measurement of commercial vehicles equipped with foundation air brakes using AI models for millimeter precision measurement in milliseconds.
In April of 2023 we were accepted into the ventureLAB HCI boot camp and then afterwards fully into the ventureLAB ecosystem in the Hardware Catalyst Initiative for the automobility stream. Our Sentinel smart sensor was still undergoing development while we worked with our IP attorney to complete our PCT patent-pending filing after filing our provisional patent.
Mark also presented the Quantuty Analytics' PCT patent-pending technology solution amongst 8 finalists to pitch at ventureLAB's annual HardTech Summit Pitch Gala and Dinner in Markham, Ontario. Important guests and delegates appeared from industry and government up to the Federal level to share their vision for Ontario's future in technology and manufacturing, especially in the automobility industry.
In June 2023, Quantuity Analytics Inc. was accepted into the MaRS Discovery District SupplyAI stream accelerator. This startup accelerator offered excellent benefits including founder training, learning and development, and marketing resources which helped us grow and scale our venture and edge AI technology solution for the commercial trucking industry over the 6 month program length. We were also able to get in front of international investors in the MaRS DD network and ecosystem in Toronto.
Upon joining NEXTAI's Montréal cohort in February 2024, we had successfully filed our PCT patent-pending submission with our IP attorney, Marco Clementoni of Smart & Biggar in January 2024, who specializes in AI and ML based patents including edge AI and IoT technologies related to the automobility sector.
At NEXTAI in Montréal, we were able to work with AI PhD researchers and the Mila Institute to help us with our AI strategy for our MLOps toolchain including data collection, training, testing, validating, and deployment. We were also able to receive university level training courses to help our venture grow and scale in the AI future.
Most of all, we were able to benefit from Next Canada's Reza Satchu's Harvard University case studies with actual venture founders. Through deliberation, dialogue, and decision making, we were able to learn the skill of making good decisions in the face of uncertainty and lack of substantial information.
Reza Satchu is the Co-Chair and Founding Chairman of NEXT Canada. He is also Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School where he teaches Launching Technology Ventures and The Entrepreneurial Manager. He has received Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 Award and is a member of the Canadian Advisory Board to the Harvard Business School. Mark is grateful to have been accepted into the NEXTAI program and its valuable network of founders, co-founders, educators, leaders, and investors.
Quantuity Analytics Inc. was accepted into the YorkU YSpace SmartTO SMTA (Smart Mobility Technology Accelerator) in September 2024 for a 6 month accelerator cohort. Their joint relationship between York University and Centennial College, along with OVIN-OCI and industry partners and authorities in the automobility sector like the MTO (Ministry of Transportation Ontario).
Through grants provided by both the SmartTO program and Centennial College, Quantuity Analytics was able to validate our Sentinel wireless edge AI smart sensor on a commercial tractor vehicle unit (Volvo) and also complete our Sentinel Android App for connecting wirelessly to our Sentinel wireless edge AI smart sensors through the hiring of an Android app developer co-op student. With the collective support of the SmartTO SMTA program, our venture is now able to begin the next phase of our startup journey with our TRL7 product demonstrations with commercial vehicle fleet owners to show then how our Sentinel smart sensor works and benefits fleets and drivers to make them safer, more reliable, and more profitable with every commercial vehicle equipped with foundation air brakes and our Sentinel wireless edge AI smart sensor.
