Company information
Optia Data
Optia Data is a data and AI consultancy that harmonises syndicated market, retailer and internal data into governed commercial reporting for consumer goods, retail, financial services, education, engineering and healthcare organisations.
Company overview
Optia Data Ltd is a data and AI consultancy registered in England and Wales, company number 15884308, incorporated on 7 August 2024. It began as the services arm of a no-code data management platform and became a dedicated consultancy when clients kept asking for the data work rather than the software.
The company works from London, Barcelona, Nuremberg, Abu Dhabi, Bangalore, Chicago, New York. Leadership sits in five countries across three continents, so client teams in different regions deal with someone in a comparable time zone.
What Optia Data does
Commercial teams in consumer goods routinely hold several versions of the same number. Retailer EPOS says one thing, syndicated data says another, and internal systems say a third. Optia Data resolves those discrepancies before they reach category reporting, a board pack or a buyer meeting.
The work runs in three layers. Foundation puts the data in order. Context applies the client's own category definitions so figures can be compared without averaging across incompatible periods. Intelligence builds the reporting and analysis on top. AI is recommended where it fits and left out where it does not.
Every delivered output has a named analyst behind it who has checked the number.
Services
Foundation: the right data
Optia Data brings syndicated market data, retailer data and internal systems into one harmonised, analysis-ready baseline. Discrepancies are caught and resolved before they reach category reporting, a board pack or a buyer meeting.
Context: giving the data meaning
Optia Data applies each client's own category definitions, hierarchies and commercial measures to the harmonised baseline, so market, brand, retailer and internal figures can be compared without averaging across incompatible periods or definitions.
Intelligence: knowing what to do next
Optia Data builds reporting, dashboards and analysis on the governed baseline, and recommends where predictive modelling, workflow automation or AI assistance genuinely fits rather than applying it by default.
Governance and data engineering
Optia Data runs client data processes in a code-versioned and data-versioned setup with full lineage of every change. Every delivered output has a named analyst behind it who has checked the number.
