The better you understand your world, the more powerfully you can change it
Dot Loves Data gives businesses the clarity they need to act with confidence — and deliver real results.
We’re a standalone company, backed by ANZ, and powered by the richest consumer spend dataset in Aotearoa. Our tools and models help organisations like yours see how people live, spend and behave — so you can make sharper decisions, faster.
Our data
What we see, others can't
We work with the most detailed consumer dataset in the country — anonymised ANZ card spend linked with merchant transactions and updated daily.
Unmatched scale
Over 3 million transactions processed daily, from more than half of all New Zealanders.
Unmatched detail
Spend mapped to neighbourhood level, categorised by five-year age brackets
Unmatched coverage
Models fill in market gaps — giving you the full picture, not a partial view.
More than just spend
100+ additional datasets across community and business performance.
With Dot, you’re not guessing — you're acting on the most current, comprehensive consumer insight available in Aotearoa.
Who we are
Great data doesn’t drive change on its own. People do
We’re a team of curious minds and solution seekers, drawn together by a shared love of data and a mission to make things better — for businesses and communities alike.
We blend analytical smarts with design thinking to shape solutions that are as usable as they are powerful. Whether you’re deciding where to grow, who to target, or how you measure up — we help make those decisions easier, clearer, and faster.
