Technology upgrades come thick and fast at blur Group (LON:BLUR), with the e-commerce company announcing the launch of version 5.0 of its business services platform.

The new version enables automation of the pitch selection process which blur says will shave weeks off the time taken by businesses to find a solution that fits their exact requirements.

The technology will now generate a shortlist using the machine intelligence capabilities of blur Sense, a set of proprietary algorithms that automatically matches suppliers and their pitches with the requirements of the brief.

Further enhancements will see full scanning of pitch documents to provide an accurate shortlist of the top three tenders.

"blur 5.0 represents a big move towards the emergence of the first generation of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) platforms specifically designed for services. Later this year we will release an API (Application Programming Interface) so that blur 5.0 will integrate easily with other enterprise software platforms,” said Philip Letts, chief executive and founder of the crowd-sourcing leader.
