01

The Business Challenge

A mid-market business ran its management reporting on spreadsheets assembled manually from several operational systems. Reports arrived weeks after the period ended, disagreed with each other, and depended on a small number of people who knew the process.

Leadership needed timely, trustworthy numbers without replacing the operational systems that generated them.

02

Existing Technology Environment

  • Multiple line-of-business systems with no shared reporting layer
  • Manual extract-and-merge reporting in spreadsheets
  • No single definition of key business metrics

03

Our Approach

  1. 01Ran a discovery phase to agree metric definitions with finance and operations before building anything.
  2. 02Built automated data pipelines from each source system into a central warehouse.
  3. 03Designed role-based dashboards around the decisions each audience makes, not around the data that happened to be available.
  4. 04Validated every figure against the legacy reports during a parallel-run period to build trust.

04

The Solution Delivered

  • A central analytics platform refreshing automatically from all operational systems.
  • Role-based dashboards for leadership, finance and operations with agreed, documented metric definitions.
  • Self-service reporting that removed the dependency on manual spreadsheet assembly.
