What Digitata does

Digitata is a Mauritius-headquartered, privately held B2B software vendor (Digitata Limited) that builds AI-driven revenue management and customer value management technology for mobile network operators in emerging markets. The company's flagship product, the Vaitom platform, is a cloud-based offering that dynamically prices voice and data products at the individual subscriber level in real time, segments subscribers using smart attributes drawn from multiple data sources, and drives context-sensitive CVM campaigns across channels including USSD, SMS, mobile app, web and chat bots. Around this core, Digitata offers a Sales & Distribution module with predictive stock-level management and an Analytics Engine for forecasting, offer optimization, upsell, cross-sell and churn modeling, plus a Generative AI-powered Vaitom AI Bot for guided analytics.

Underlying the platform is a mix of proprietary AI/ML models for real-time pricing and segmentation, AWS-hosted cloud infrastructure, AWS Personalize for bundle recommendations, and integrations with incumbent OSS vendors such as Ericsson's Yield Optimization system. The company monetizes through enterprise platform licensing on a recurring SaaS-style basis, with custom pricing tied to operator size, subscriber base and deployment scope, and supplements recurring revenue with integration and consultancy services (e.g., the cited six-week multi-vendor deployment at Globacom Nigeria).

Digitata targets mobile network operators in competitive emerging markets where price wars, churn and low ARPU make intelligent price discrimination commercially meaningful. Named operator customers include MTN Ghana, MTN Uganda, MTN Congo Brazzaville, Globacom Nigeria, Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM, a customer since 2012), Expresso, Etisalat, Cell C and Airtel. The company is led by CEO Richard Walton with COO Sarah Sprich, CFO Krish-Arnachellum, CTO Nico Kruger and CCO Anton De Jongh; the headcount sits in the 101-250 range with delivery supported from a Johannesburg office established in 2021 in addition to the Mauritius headquarters.
