Analytics
The indicators that matter, in one place, refreshed automatically. Not fifty charts — the indicators you actually run the business on.
Who this is for
If two or three of these land, it is not an emergency — but it is a clear signal.
An important client cut their orders and you learned it at month end, from the financial report. With a daily or weekly refresh you react in days, not months.
You ask the team how things are going and get “fine, I think”. A report does not decide for you. It shows you exactly what you are deciding on.
At ten people and a few dozen clients, files were enough. Complexity grew, reporting did not, and the gap produces errors and delays.
The sources are consolidated and the figures can be trusted. What is missing is the place you look at them without asking anybody for anything.
What you’re losing now
The data exists. The cost is the distance between it and you.
Same figures, same sources, same effort, month after month. The work is identical, which is exactly why a person should not be doing it.
“How are we doing on margin in that channel?” means an email, a wait and a file. By the time the answer arrives, the question is no longer urgent.
A monthly report describes a closed month. Decisions get made during the month, on information nobody has written down yet.
What you get
Six deliverables. The first is the hard one: which indicators.
Choosing them is the difficult part, not building them. An indicator only makes the list if it answers a decision you actually take.
How it is calculated, from which source, what it includes and excludes. Without it, the same screen produces the same arguments as before.
Daily or weekly, depending on how fast the figure moves. No manual step between the source and the screen.
Which value is normal and from which value you need to look. An indicator without a threshold is a number, not information.
The same set of indicators, packaged for the meeting. The report is generated from the same definitions, so it cannot contradict the screen.
The CEO, the CFO and the commercial director look at different screens built from the same definitions. One source, several views.
How we work
A dashboard built before knowing which decisions it supports turns into a collection of charts.
Duration:
You tell us which decisions you take monthly and what you look at today to take them. The shortlist of candidate indicators comes out of that.
Duration:
The indicators and their definitions are agreed, then the screen is built and connected to the sources.
Duration: In parallel with step 2
Thresholds are set, views are split by role and the automatic monthly report is switched on.
Exact timing depends on how many sources you have and how clean they are — we agree these with you upfront.
Evidence
The management meeting was prepared by hand: 3–4 hours gathered from different sources, with errors that surfaced in the meeting itself.
A dashboard refreshed daily, with the indicators agreed. Time spent preparing the report: zero.
Typical outcomes from previous projects. Every context is assessed individually.
What stops you
From the same stage
The dashboard shows the figures. Profitability and sales analysis are what produce them.
Know exactly where you make profit, where you lose, and how your cash-flow will look in 3–6 months. With “what-if” scenarios.
Understand which clients bring value, where you’re losing opportunities, and where your sales team should focus.
Who might stop buying, who might not pay, how much you will sell next month. Models trained on your own history, with the margin of error stated up front.
We analyse every table in your systems and surface what falls outside the pattern: repetitions, missing counterparts, unusual values, concentrations. No hand-written rules.
Next step
Tell us which decision you want to make better. We’ll tell you whether we can help, and how, concretely.
