You are not short of systems. What you are missing is the layer that cleans the data, connects the systems, and lets routine work complete itself. That layer is what we do.
The first step is understanding where you stand. When the diagnostic is done, you receive a list of issues and a recommended order of priority.
Most implementations fail because a lower layer was skipped to get at a higher one. A dashboard built on uncleaned data is more dangerous than no dashboard at all, because you will decide on the strength of wrong numbers.
Any layer can be taken on its own. Where you start depends on where you actually are.
Tick everything that matches your situation. A recommended starting layer appears below.
There is no right answer. Ticking more boxes does not mean things are worse, only that there is more time to be saved.
Below are the most common situations at each layer and what we actually do about them. Scope and approach are adjusted to your circumstances.
Representative results from past projects. Client names are withheld under confidentiality agreements.
Time spent preparing data fell by more than seventy percent, with heavy manual checking and consolidation replaced by a standardised process.
A process that relied on paper and hand delivery moved online, cutting total processing time by seventy percent.
An operations report that took half a day to assemble now refreshes automatically, with the figures available inside thirty minutes.
Fees are quoted against actual scope. What follows is how an engagement with us can be structured.
Suited to work with a clear goal and defined deliverables. Scope, schedule and acceptance criteria are agreed first, the project is priced as a whole, and it closes on delivery. Where the scope is clear, this gives both sides the firmest grip on budget and responsibility.
You pre-purchase hours and draw them down as work is done. Suited to requirements that are still moving, or to long-term support and continual adjustment, since there is no need to raise a case and re-quote for every small thing. When you need the hours, you use them.
We learn where you stand and what you most want solved, and establish whether we are a fit.
We look at the actual data and processes, and produce a list of issues, an order of priority and workable options.
We execute the agreed scope, report progress regularly, and deliver with documentation and training.
Monthly health checks, exception handling, post-upgrade adjustment and remote support.
We will not ask you to buy anything at the first meeting. See clearly where the problem is and whether it is worth addressing, then decide whether to go further.
