Business Analytics
Dashboards

Your business is generating data constantly. But if it lives in spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual exports — it's not driving decisions. I build live dashboards your team actually opens every morning.

The data problems I hear from every business owner

"
We run our business off a spreadsheet that one person updates every Monday morning.

Manual data consolidation is a single point of failure. One missed update, one formula error, one person on holiday — and your leadership team is making decisions on stale or wrong numbers.

"
I know we have the data somewhere, but I can't get a single view of what's actually happening in the business.

Your CRM says one thing, your finance tool says another, your ops platform has its own view. No one has connected the dots — so every meeting starts with 20 minutes of data reconciliation.

"
By the time we get the weekly report, the opportunity has already passed.

Weekly reporting is too slow for most business decisions. If you find out on Friday that Monday's campaign underperformed, you've already spent 5 days of budget on the wrong thing.

"
Our analyst spends 80% of their time pulling data and 20% actually analysing it.

This is the most common waste in data teams. Automated pipelines and live dashboards flip that ratio — your analyst focuses on insight, not on being a human ETL process.

"
We built a dashboard once. Nobody used it. I don't want to go through that again.

Unused dashboards are almost always a design problem, not a data problem. I interview the people who'll actually use it before building anything — and design around their real decisions, not abstract KPIs.

"
We're flying blind on which marketing channels are actually driving revenue.

Last-click attribution is lying to you. Multi-touch models that trace the full customer journey — connected to your actual revenue data — show you where to double down and what to cut.

How I solve it

One source of truth, designed around your decisions

The best dashboards aren't built from data up — they're built from decisions down. I start by understanding what choices your team makes daily, then reverse-engineer the data and visualisation that enables those choices.

01
Audit your data landscape

I map every data source — CRM, finance, ops, marketing — identify where they connect (or conflict), and establish a single source of truth before any dashboard is designed.

02
Interview the decision-makers

What questions do they ask every morning? What slows meetings down? What data do they currently trust — and what do they ignore? Dashboard design starts here, not in Figma.

03
Build automated pipelines

ETL pipelines that refresh your data on schedule — hourly, daily, or in real time. No more Monday morning manual exports. No more "that number looks wrong."

04
Ship and train your team

Delivery includes a live walkthrough with the people who'll use it — so they trust it, use it, and can maintain it themselves. Adoption is part of the deliverable.

Case Study

Wavess.io: 70% faster competitive analysis — from 3 hours to 45 minutes

Wavess.io's team was doing competitive intelligence manually — tracking competitor pricing, content, and positioning across dozens of sources every week. It took 3+ hours every cycle, involved 4 different people, and the output was a static slide deck that was outdated by the time it reached leadership.

I built an automated pipeline that scraped, normalised, and surfaced competitor signals in a live dashboard. Leadership could now see competitive movements in real time, filter by category, and drill into specific signals — instead of waiting for the weekly deck.

What's included

End-to-end delivery — from raw data to live dashboard

Data source audit & connection

I connect to every data source you have — CRM, finance, ops, marketing, databases — and establish clean, consistent definitions before building anything.

Automated ETL pipeline

Scheduled data pipelines that extract, clean, and load your data on the cadence your business needs — hourly, daily, or near real-time.

Dashboard design & build

Designed around your actual decision workflow — not a template. Built in Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or a custom Streamlit app, depending on what fits your stack.

Anomaly alerts

Automated Slack or email alerts when KPIs move outside expected ranges — so you know before your customers do when something is wrong.

Data dictionary & documentation

Every metric defined, every pipeline documented. Your team can maintain and extend the dashboard without needing to call me 6 months later.

Team training & adoption session

A live walkthrough with your team so they understand what they're looking at, trust the numbers, and actually use the dashboard in their daily workflow.
