BI Problems We Help You Tackle

We've seen these patterns destroy trust and waste budgets at dozens of companies. Sound familiar?

Dashboard Chaos

Your teams have built 20+ reports, each telling a different story. Sales says revenue is $2.8M, finance claims $2.3M, marketing insists it's $1.9M.

Result: 3-hour meetings arguing about whose numbers are "right"

Weeks-Long Reporting Cycles

Quality reports take 7 days to generate. By the time you spot defect patterns, the problems are already in customers' hands.

Result: Reactive management instead of prevention

Consultant Dependency

Your last BI consultant delivered beautiful dashboards, then disappeared. Three months later, everything breaks and nobody knows how to fix it.

Result: Expensive technical debt with a countdown timer

Manual Process Addiction

"Sarah from accounting needs to upload her Excel file." When Sarah's on vacation, reports don't run. When file formats change, everything breaks.

Result: Single points of failure everywhere.

Vanity Metrics Overload

Your CEO's favorite KPI may look impressive, but it hides the real problems. Revenue is up 18%, but CAC doubled and LTV dropped 30%.

Result: Celebrating fake wins while real problems grow

Over-Engineered Solutions

Your team spent 6 months building Netflix-scale architecture for 3 reports and 20 users. Too many moving parts, endless debugging, zero velocity.

Result: Projects labeled "too expensive" and abandoned

Build Solutions, Not Quick Fixes

We don't just build dashboards that work on demo day. We build systems that your team can maintain, understand, and evolve long after we're gone.
