Since the founding of Ascentis Private Limited in 2003, we have come a long way from being a start-up. Over the last 19 years, Ascentis Private Limited has evolved to a full-fledged, med/large corporation of more than 200 talented employees across Asia, powering CRM and loyalty programmes for many branded labels in the mall, retail and F&B space. Together with our sister company, Meet Isaac, we have also attained more than 100 awards, hitting several milestones along the way.

However, complacency is never part of our DNA. With an organisation filled with passionate and energetic team members, we continue to evolve and scale. During the Covid-19 pandemic phase and with the rise in enterprise digitalization, Ascentis Private Limited took the strategic stand to transform into a product-based company, moving away from the system integration work it has been doing previously. The AI and machine learning-enabled platform aggregates all its products into one platform, allowing clients to manage their customer relationship campaigns in one place and enabling them to accelerate and simplify their decision-making processes.

With the support from Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), a joint office of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), we were linked to the prospective talents, resources and grants to help us build new in-house capabilities in machine learning. The support has greatly help us to scale up our development of our AI and ML functions, shortening our projected timeframe from 3-4 years, to 1-2 years.

The future ahead is exciting for us, as we look forward to creating more solutions that will help businesses address their pain points and improve their processes.
