Ad operations tasks for both ad buyers and ad sellers are repetitive, taxing, and error-prone. One campaign requires thousands of manual adjustments, which is an inefficient, costly use of human brain power. Swivel is on a mission to automate media’s most complex ad delivery strategies using AI and machine learning, freeing humans to achieve their loftiest business goals. Resource-constrained teams that could only execute a fraction of potential campaign optimizations are now unbound, and the results are immediate and extraordinary.

Verituity delivers verified digital B2B & B2C payouts for enterprises, banks and the public sector. As payment speeds accelerate and attack surfaces expand, errors, fraud, and misdirected payments can occur at any point in the disbursement lifecycle. One time checks and static, fragmented controls are no longer enough. Verituity was built to address this reality with continuous, multi layered and interlinking verification that operates across legacy systems, modern payment rails, and every payment type. Reducing improper payments and delivering payout precision Our fully automated platform continuously verifies payment files, payee eligibility, identities, relationships, payment accounts, and payment instructions—before and as funds move. Rather than asking whether a payee or account exists, Verituity helps organizations determine whether a payment should be made, to this payee, to this account, for this amount, at this moment—every time. Designed for complex, high volume environments, Verituity is legacy compatible by design and calibrated to each organization’s policies, compliance requirements, and risk tolerance. We serve enterprises, banks and government agencies where payout precision is mission critical and public trust, regulatory compliance, and financial stewardship matter. Continuous verification isn’t a feature. It’s a fiduciary obligation. Verituity sets the minimum acceptable standard for modern disbursements: paying the right amount, to the right payee and the right payment account - on time, every time. 🌐 verituity.com
