1. Performance Measurement & Strategy
Stop Measuring the Wrong Things
KPI selection & definition | Performance metric design for SMEs
Most SMEs track metrics because someone set them up years ago, not because they drive decisions. We work with you to identify the small number of KPIs that actually reflect your business performance, then build the measurement infrastructure around them. You stop reporting on vanity metrics and start watching the numbers that matter. Ideal for SME owners and operations managers producing monthly reports nobody acts on, or anyone inheriting a reporting setup they didn't design.
Know When Something Changes, Before It Becomes a Problem
KPI monitoring & alerts | Live business performance dashboards
We build live dashboards and automated alerts so you're notified when performance dips, a target is missed, or an opportunity emerges, without anyone having to check a spreadsheet. Your team spends less time compiling reports and more time responding to what they reveal. Ideal for finance managers and operational leads who find out about performance issues weeks after they happen.
2. Data Preparation & Quality Management
Make Your Data Trustworthy
Data quality audit | Data cleaning & preparation services
Bad data produces wrong answers and erodes confidence in every decision. We audit your existing data, identify and fix inconsistencies and gaps, and put practical data quality processes in place so clean data becomes the default. You make decisions based on numbers you actually believe. Ideal for change managers and senior leaders whose teams regularly question whether a figure "looks right."
One View of Your Business, Without the IT Project
Lightweight data integration | CRM and finance data consolidation for SMEs
Your business runs across CRMs, spreadsheets, finance tools, and feedback forms, none of which talk to each other. We connect these sources into a single, structured view so you can answer business questions that currently require manually stitching files together. No complex infrastructure or IT team required. Ideal for operations and finance managers whose monthly reporting involves downloading and merging files from three different systems.
3. Reporting, Dashboards & Visualisation
Dashboards Your Team Will Actually Use
Power BI dashboard development | Excel & Google Sheets reporting
We build interactive dashboards and reporting tools that fit your team's skill level and the tools they already use, whether that's Power BI, Excel, or Google Sheets. Everything comes with documentation and training so your team owns the output, the result is useful, trustworthy reporting. Ideal for operational managers and analysts whose current dashboards are either too complex to maintain or too basic to be useful.
Make Your Data Impossible to Misread
Data visualisation | Information design for reports and presentations
We create clear visual explanations of trends, performance, and research findings, whether for board papers, stakeholder presentations, or publications. From clean charts to more complex information design, we turn data into visuals your audience can act on. Ideal for managers and communications leads who regularly present data but struggle to make it land clearly.
4. Analytics & Insight Generation
Forecast Revenue With More Confidence
Sales & revenue forecasting | Financial planning models for SMEs
We build forecasting models using your historical data, seasonal patterns, and relevant economic indicators, giving you a data-driven basis for planning headcount, cash flow, and investment. No more gut-feel budgets or spreadsheets that assume last year plus ten percent. Ideal for finance managers and business owners whose revenue forecasts are consistently off; in either direction.
Understand What's Driving Performance, and What Isn't
Descriptive & diagnostic analysis | Root cause analysis for business data
We dig into your data to answer the questions that matter: why did sales drop last quarter, which products are dragging on profitability, where are customers falling off? You get specific, actionable answers. Book a free analytics consultation. Ideal for senior managers and operations leads who have a performance problem but no clear view of its root cause.
We identify the distinct groups within your customer base - by behaviour, value, need, or geography - so your marketing, sales, and service efforts can be targeted where they'll have the most impact. We also map the actual path customers take through your funnel, showing you where they drop off and why. Ideal for marketing managers and commercial leads whose campaigns produce inconsistent results and aren't sure who their best customers actually are.
5. AI & Emerging Technology Advisory
Find Out Whether AI Is Actually Useful to You
AI opportunity assessment | AI risk & ethics review | AI vendor evaluation for SMEs
AI tools are everywhere but most are oversold to SMEs. We give you an honest assessment of where automation or AI tools could genuinely save time or improve decisions in your business, without the hype. This includes practical examples such as AI-assisted report drafting, summarisation tools, and no-code chatbots. We'll also flag the real risks around data privacy, bias, and supplier lock-in before you commit to anything. Ideal for business owners and change managers being pitched AI tools who can't tell what's real from what's marketing.
6. Open-Source & Geospatial Data Guidance
Use Public Data You're Already Paying For
Open-source data advisory | ONS & public data integration | Geospatial data analysis
Huge volumes of high-quality free data from the ONS, local authorities, and public health bodies, go unused by most SMEs. We identify which datasets are relevant to your decisions, integrate them into your analysis, and use them to enrich your own data with demographic, economic, and geographic context. We can also help you produce maps using ONS boundaries, local authority datasets, and postcode-level information. Ideal for strategy and marketing leads currently buying market research reports that could be replaced with free public data.
7. Automation & Efficiency
Get Hours Back From Repetitive Data Work
Process automation | Workflow simplification | Reporting template design
We identify the data tasks your team repeats every week; merging files, formatting reports, chasing numbers, and automate or simplify them. We review your existing reporting workflows to remove redundant steps, and build easy-to-use templates your staff can run independently. The result is fewer manual errors, faster turnaround, and analysts doing analysis instead of admin. Ideal for operations managers and change leads where someone in the team spends Friday afternoon preparing the Monday report.
8. Training, Coaching & Capacity Building
Help Your Team Make Confident Decisions With Data
Data literacy training | Excel upskilling | Power BI dashboard coaching
We run practical training for non-technical staff so they can interpret dashboards, challenge figures, and use data in daily decisions, without needing to become analysts themselves. We teach best practices in Excel covering formulas, pivot tables, data validation, and charts. We also coach individuals and teams on Power BI and data reporting so your team can maintain and build on the tools we create. Ideal for managers overseeing teams that nod along to data in meetings but don't really trust or act on it.
