Data makes the world go round. Every day, we generate it, use it, consume it, and demand it. At Sagacity, we are all about the intelligent use of data. We work with some of the country’s leading brands to support them in making wise decisions powered by data. We help them transform their customer data into a structure they can use, enabling them to improve it, make sense of it, and drive value from it.

Founded in 2005, we are a customer-centric business with a World Class +82 Net Promoter Score. We believe data should be at the heart of every company. While we are sector agnostic, primarily our clients are in the water, energy, telecoms, financial services, charity, and retail sectors. We help them improve their customer prospecting and marketing, customer management, billing, collections, and retention over the lifetime of the customer.
