Unilever to Roll Out Large Scale Project in Singapore
Unilever has
teamed up with Blis, a data technology company, to roll out a large scale
blockchain project in Singapore. This is a bid to ensure transparency in its
data ecosystem. The pilot platform is aimed at overcoming challenges in the
industry pertaining to verification and transparency of data. The project would
prioritize demographic data and location among others. Powered by the
Blockchain Platform of IBM, the initiative will focus on the evaluation and
refinement of the service that Blis specializes in and accordingly deal with
data providers and advertisers.
Data
providers and advertisers would get access to verified and transparent data
through blockchain since the geographical source is written into the code. The
source would be verified and hence there would be greater confidence in using
the data. Brands will be able to assess, analyze and qualify the data according
to their focus points and access to data transactions through individual apps
and other systems will further simplify the whole process. Unilever is trying
to work with other organizations to enhance the digital infrastructure, to
develop new capabilities and ensure impeccable transparency. Clarity in how
companies use data of consumers has been a hot debate, especially related to scripted
manipulation. Compliance to data privacy and other regulatory measures has
become the center point for digitization.
Unilever and
Blis are taking an innovative step to track geographical data so a critical
problem in digital advertising can be effectively remedied. Blis has reliable
expertise in blockchain technology and can create a solution that would instill
trust, transparency and accountability, all of which are basic demands of
consumers today. Even advertisers realize the importance of such faith of
consumers as it determines the viability of online advertising in the near and
distant future.
Consumer
products giant Unilever has a phenomenal presence across the globe. It
transcends various industries including food and beverages, cleaning and
hygiene products among others. The company generated annual revenue of over
sixty two and a half billion dollars last year. The global powerhouse is
unsurprisingly moving to blockchain. Consumers are increasingly demanding
transparency and data protection. It is only time industries respond in a well
planned and effective manner rather than just promising that they would not
misuse big data. The GDPR data protect law has undergone changes in Europe and
this almost mandates Unilever and others to take steps to ensure transparency
and fair usage policy. Unilever aims to comply with the new regulations and
provide better service to their customers.
As more
companies expand their digital infrastructure, blockchain would become one of
the crucial foundations to ensure clarity. Blockchain technology is
transforming most industries and there is no turning back. Blockchain is
expected to get better and more regulatory measures will demand compliance on
the part of all private and publicly listed companies that deal with data of
consumers. The eventual goal is to allow customers to control how their data is
used and if they want to have their information used in any way at all.
