Our Mission

Redefine and Reinnovate Consumer Research

We strive to transform Customer Intelligence by disrupting existing consumer research conventions. We believe in taking a data-driven and consumer-centric approach while maintaining data integrity. Through omnichannel data capture that meets our stringent quality control standards, we provide an accurate, holistic and trustworthy understanding of consumers that businesses can use to build meaningful relationships with their customers.

Our Advantage

Expert in ASEAN

ASEAN holds huge business potential as the fastest growing region in the world. However, due to its diversity, market fragmentation and fast-paced urbanisation and industrialisation, it is a difficult region to thrive in. Dattel was therefore established in 2014 to provide the tools and Consumer Intelligence that allows companies to research and analyse reliable ASEAN at an unprecedented level of depth, agility and granularity. This empowers business with a holistic and nuanced understanding of ASEAN customers that allows them to add value to new and existing their customers.
