To solve the problem of inadequate data, Voyance introduced two of its first products namely Manhattan DB and Sigma.
  • Manhattan DB: This product allows professionals who deal with data to easily store and analyze gigabytes and petabytes of data. It also builds machine learning models and deployment with zero operational costs. It simply provides efficient, scalable data infrastructure that is fully managed by businesses.
  • Sigma: This was originally a fraud monitoring platform that uses collected data from fintech within Africa to protect them from fraudsters. Now, it is an encompassing risk operations platform that can be used to handle business problems such as transaction monitoring, compliance, and anti-money laundering. Sigma allows businesses to innovate and scale quickly without high risk.
