Percayso underlines growth strategy with Cazana acquisition

Automotive data platform Cazana is being acquired by Percayso Inform for an undisclosed sum and will now be known as Percayso Vehicle Intelligence.

Cazana, which was acquired by Cazoo in 2021, delivers in-depth insight on individual cars through more than a billion unique data points and is trusted by 60% of leading UK insurers as well as the Motor Ombudsman.

The deal will support Percayso’s ambition to grow its footprint in the UK motor insurance sector and develop its own vehicle data insight proposition.

Percayso Managing Director Rich Tomlinson said, “Cazana’s unrivalled database provides motor insurers with a one-stop-shop, enabling them to truly understand the risk factor of a vehicle including its likelihood to be involved in a claim. Combining that data with our own unique insurance intelligence services will enable insurers to determine potential fraudulent activity, identify if a risk is right for their business, swiftly respond to changing market conditions and ultimately write better business.”

He added, “This is a transformational deal for our business. We’ve made considerable headway in the motor market over the past three years. Acquiring Cazana will provide a springboard for us to grow our relationships with the motor insurers already using their services and I believe will open the door to many new opportunities.”
