An analytics-to-action platform
Analytics built for action
Ask a business question in plain English. Dactana plans the work, runs it on your data and checks every figure. From a quick answer to a deeper investigation, you can turn the evidence into actions you can assign and track immediately.
Why a conversation
You have the question. The answer is minutes, not a fortnight away.
Dashboards show what happened, AI summaries can help interpret it. Dactana takes the next step: explore why it happened, check the evidence and decide what to do. Built for analysts, managers and executives across operations, commercial, marketing, finance, fleet and customer teams, it supports quick questions, deeper investigations and repeatable analysis.
Ask in your own words
No SQL and no filters to learn. “Where are we losing margin and what should we change first?” is a complete request.
Get an answer you can quote
Every figure is checked before you see and quote it.
Keep the conversation going
Test a hypothesis, explore a follow-up and repeat the analysis as your data changes. Assign recommendations to the people who can act and track them through to completion.
How it works
It treats your question the way a good analyst would
Dactana is not a chat window bolted onto a database. It plans the work, checks the brief with you, runs it and verifies every number before you see it. The figures hold up because of the Insights Engine, our patent-pending separation of the AI from the arithmetic. How it works →
It shows you the brief before it starts
Dactana reads your data, drafts the approach and tells you what each step will produce, in plain English. Agree it, trim it or add what you want, then let it run.
- Steps and deliverables you can read in thirty seconds
- A complexity gauge before you spend a credit
- Clarifying questions when the data needs a call from you
You can walk away. It will tell you when it is done.
Watch every step if you want to, or get on with your day and come back to a finished answer. Nothing is hidden and nothing needs babysitting.
- Several lines of investigation run at once
- No black box: every step is on record
Every figure is checked before you quote it
You are going to repeat this number in a meeting, so each one is queried from your data and passed through an independent validator before it can appear. Switch on audit view and any figure opens the fact it came from and the validator's own reasoning. When a draft claim fails, it is corrected and checked again.
- Real claims, real checks: this walkthrough uses a fleet analysis run this week
- Claims that cannot be verified are removed
When someone asks where that number came from
Behind every figure is a fact: the table it came from, the code that produced it and the source it was read from. One click from the slide, ready for you or your colleagues to inspect.
The answer
A briefing, not a dashboard
Key findings first, in plain English, then the evidence slide by slide. Everything is live: sort a table, hover a heatmap, open a figure.
The conversation carries on from the answer
Every figure carries a gold Explore button. It suggests the follow-ups worth asking and runs them in the background while you keep reading, so “why?” is only one click away, not another request.
- Root cause, comparison or trend, in the mode that fits
- Follow-ups line up in a tracker until they are ready
Ask three things in a meeting, keep every thread
Launch three follow-ups, carry on with the discussion and open each one as it lands. The thread of questions stays attached to the answer that started it.
Recommendations and actions
Turn the answer into action, with the evidence attached
Every analysis closes with recommendations: what to do, why and the checked facts behind it. Give each one an owner, track it and send it where the work happens.
Statement, rationale, evidence
A recommendation is a clear instruction, the reasoning behind it and the verified findings it rests on. Each citation opens the evidence it points at.
- Investigate, remediate, contact, monitor or escalate
- The rows it applies to, ready to download
Delegate it and see it through
Give each recommendation an owner and watch it move from suggested to done. Send it to Jira, Salesforce or your own boards with the evidence attached, so the team acts on the same facts you saw.
Everything you have asked for, in one place
Every recommendation across every analysis, with its owner and status, so the loop from question to action actually closes.
Share and collaborate
Take it to the room
Share the answer with colleagues, discuss and collaborate on the slides and export it for a team review or board meeting.
Share with the people who need it
Share an explorer, or a whole gallery of them, with viewers or editors. Export to PowerPoint when you need slides.
Comments live on the slide
Questions and decisions sit next to the evidence they are about, not in a separate email thread.
Protecting your data
Your data stays where it is
Dactana runs read-only queries where your data already lives. Only results leave and nothing learns from them.

Data stays where it is. Dactana connects with read-only credentials, held in a governed credential workflow.
Dactana runs the queries
Every number is queried directly, with row limits and timeouts, in an isolated analysis environment.
Findings and evidence
Only the results come back, as checked findings with the fact tables behind them. Your queries do not train any model.
Trust the output
Built for decisions that carry weight
Whether you are changing a campaign, managing a fleet or presenting to the board, the evidence needs to hold up. Dactana is built so you can inspect a result, share the reasoning and act with confidence.
Isolated analysis environments
Every run happens in its own environment, separated from production systems.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Connections, databases and file storage are encrypted. Files are reached through time-limited signed links.
Access control and data separation
Access is governed by organisation and permissions, so people only work with data they are allowed to use.
A trace of every run
Each analysis leaves a record of what happened, including the checks it passed, so outcomes can be reviewed.
Bring the question you have been wanting to ask
A full demo takes about half an hour. We will answer a real question live, on your own data.
