Crayon Data’s partnership with Falcorp Technologies aims to reach the banking and telecommunications sector in the region 

Singapore/Chennai August 2021 – Crayon Data, a leading artificial intelligence and big data company based in Singapore, has announced their expansion into the South African market. A new partnership with South Africa based digital technology organization Falcorp Technologies is set to aid in this venture.  

Crayon Data’s maya.ai is a two-sided platform that unlocks the value of AI-led personalized commerce. It adds the power of AI to all stakeholders: enterprises, merchants, and consumers. Enterprises increase customer engagement and wallet share. Merchants are paired with relevant customers. Consumers get a personalized discovery-to-fulfilment journey. With this partnership, the South Africa-based Falcorp will introduce the magic of maya.ai to key banks and enterprises in the region. 

Prateek Vyas, Vice President of Sales (APAC, India, SSA), Crayon Data, says, “We have seen some extraordinary growth for Crayon Data in the recent quarters, with our ARR growing by over 65% YoY. As we continue to expand globally, we are thrilled to bring maya.ai’s personalization capabilities to South Africa. I am certain it will herald a new age of relevance in the banking ecosystem in the region, leading to superior customer experience for end users.”  

“To help augment this expansion we have partnered with Falcorp Technologies, a leading digital solutions provider. Close to three quarters of consumers switch their primary banking provider in South Africa driven by a lack of relevance, putting R438 Bn of potential annual revenue in jeopardy. This partnership provides us the opportunity to leverage Falcorp’s expertise to deliver maya.ai’s unique AI-led personalization to the region’s consumers,” adds Prateek.  

“Similar to most industry verticals, the communications sector remains under increased pressure to shift their focus from more traditional telephony and data services to non-traditional services that make customer enrichment and experience a central focus. This can only be achieved through understanding the customer behavioral changes, spend patterns, adopting to new and evolving lifestyle products and the impact of Covid-19 on face-to-face contact, adds Rikash Hurdeen, Managing Director, Falcorp Technologies. 

Crayon Data and maya.ai’s association with Falcorp is set to usher in the age of relevance to South Africa.
