About us

The people behind Dactana

We combine data science and engineering with experience of commercial and operational decisions. Our analytics-to-action platform helps business teams turn evidence into decisions, and decisions into action.

Our new name

Cogitait and Carys are now Dactana

Looking for Cogitait or Carys? You’re in the right place. We’ve brought our company and our AI analytics platform together under one name, so it’s easier to understand who we are and how we help.

Why we built Dactana

Make the evidence useful. Help people act.

Reports and dashboards help teams see what happened. Dactana helps them investigate why, inspect the evidence and follow through on what they find. Ask a quick question or go deeper, then share the findings and track the actions with your team.

Our experience

Built around real business questions

Our work spans financial services, telecoms, retail, loyalty, insurance, telematics, energy and utilities, with delivery across the UK, Europe, Africa and other international markets.

That experience shapes the questions Dactana helps teams explore, from customer behaviour and lending performance to collections, revenue and operational risk. We also work with resellers, technology businesses and sector specialists who bring local knowledge and client relationships.
