Omnisient, the privacy-preserving data collaboration platform company protecting the privacy of over 150 million consumers, was 'Highly Commended' in the category for 'Best Data Agency/Vendor of the Year' at the South African Loyalty Awards for the transformative impact its platform is having on loyalty and retention programmes.
Building on last year’s win as 'Best Loyalty Data Agency/Vendor of the Year', Omnisient’s platform has continued to protect consumer privacy while enabling brands to draw insights on the collective consumer data across partnering brands.
The platform provides cryptography, advanced analytics and AI functionality to enable over 80 enterprise brands to protect consumer privacy while using their collective consumer data to improve their understanding of consumers and to predict behaviour. Because data is always anonymous and is never exchanged, brands can ensure compliance with privacy regulations and have the peace of mind that consumer privacy and company IP are never at risk.
Case studies from this year’s submission demonstrated major South African brands utilising the Omnisient platform for:
- The rapid identification of lucrative rewards partnerships,
- Enhanced personalisation and improved customer experience,
- Creating new revenue generation opportunities, and
- Converting data liability into data assets.

Ursula Kuni, South African Loyalty Awards judge and chief data, analytics, digital officer at Hollard Insurance had the following to say about Omnisient’s entry: “The platform has seen great adoption by big retailers, banks and insurers in South Africa and abroad, and its potential to help drive financial inclusion is worth highlighting.”
