Skybird Technologies is a privately owned, Stellenbosch based company focused on providing world class proximity and location aware solutions to brands, retailers and loyalty programs. Our national partnership with Gimbal Inc allowed us to supplement ONE, our retail engagement and analytics platform for property owners to engage shoppers in unprecedented ways. Skybird has successfully installed, and continues to manage, the largest deployment of proximity aware Bluetooth Low-Energy beacons in Africa. Our team is driven to enrich data by enabling brands and retailers to supplement existing CRM data with real-time proximity awareness - this allows for real-time engagement with shoppers via their mobile devices upon entering a location, be it a specific aisle or even a suburb. Supporting robust privacy controls, and with a strong focus on encryption Gimbal’s 6th generation beacons have repeatedly proven to be the best-in-class hardware when utilised in an enterprise environment. Backed by a complete analytics and engagement platform, Gimbal’s offering will continue to lead the race to large scale adoption of proximity technologies. Our focus is on advising, installing and assisting our customers to fully leverage this technology to enrich their data, and strengthen customer relationships.
