“OZZ revolutionizes the way we, as a digitally-first society, connect amidst the coronavirus pandemic,” said Ahmed Wasfie, founder and CEO of OZZ Technologies.
“Contactless interactions are an integral part of the new normal, together with mounting consumer expectations with regards to speed, security, and privacy,” he explained. “OZZ is a simple, secure, and seamless way to share information during an interaction.”
OZZ inspired by Dubai Paperless Strategy
“We were inspired by the Dubai Paperless Strategy championed by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum; it motivated us to create a contactless solution with a global appeal from right here in Dubai.” Said Ahmed Wasfie, founder and CEO of OZZ.
Conceived as a B2B product last year, Wasfie sought to expand the OZZ value proposition’s convenience and security to individual users.
“OZZ is your new business card, and ID stash rolled into one,” explains Wasfie. Besides saving essential contact information, OZZ allows users to store profiles from more than 50 different channels spanning social media platforms – such as Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, and Twitter – to communication applications – such as FaceTime, Skype, WeChat, and Whatsapp – to music applications, online professional portfolio links and much more. User information is encrypted using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
OZZ generates significant savings of up to 70% on the ubiquitous annual business card spend for enterprise clients, benefiting both the bottom line and the environment.
As a white-label offering, OZZ offers enterprise clients custom-design options enabling increased brand awareness. Moreover, B2B customers can also avail of enterprise-level dashboards that allow designated personnel to track the volume and type of contact exchanges conducted by employees in essential revenue-generating functions, such as sales and business development.
Manufactured in line with global best-in-class production standards, OZZ is scratch proof, waterproof and shockproof. Some of its innovative features include:
State-of-the-art OZZSure Security Factor – Users can save contact and identification information and documents, each with many layers of password-protection and the option to hide selected files before sharing.
Authentication and Verification – OZZ users can save essential identification documents (driver’s license, passport, Emirates ID) in a single and navigable location on their smartphones, and in a verified format.
“O ZZ uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to ensure that any personal ID uploaded is an original and user-linked document,” said Wasfie.
Emergency Contact Sharing – OZZ allows users to input detailed information for an emergency contact – including name, phone number, and location – which can be retrieved by a simple tap on the user’s phone in an emergency.
OZZ is headquartered in Dubai, UAE. The startup is on a mission to revolutionize contactless sharing by building advanced contactless digital wallets for consumers and enterprises that enable the simple, seamless, and secure storage, management, and exchange of contact and identification information.
A mechanical engineer by education, Wasfie is a serial entrepreneur; he previously founded the BackPack app in 2009 and the creative digital agency and software house – AWStreams – in 2010. OZZ Technologies is his third venture.
“Until now, we lacked a convenient and completely secure way to share information with approved parties in a manner that eliminates all forms of paperwork. We see the headwinds of a contactless era, and this is the behavioral shift that will make OZZ a valuable, everyday tool for people all over the world,” said Wasfie.
You can download the OZZ app for free with selected features, full functionality only available to purchasers of the OZZ tag.
Users can choose between six different language settings, including Arabic, Chinese, English, Dutch, Russian, and Spanish, more language options offered in the coming weeks.

- A call to action is essential to generate leads & increase engagement
- Each post has to have its visual, audio, or video so you can attract/engage your audiences
- Understand the situation and act upon it, always be relevant to the time and avoid posting irrelevant content at the wrong time.
- Revise the tone of voice in future activities.
To recap - Overall performance is average to good - Enhance your content formatting - Improve the tone of voice on all networks - Be creative to engage your fans better - Be Consistent - Start your SoundCloud account.
