Data platform

One place where your numbers add up.

A data platform brings together what lives today in your ERP, your CRM, your spreadsheets and your invoices, cleans it up and gets it ready for anyone in your company to use, without piecing it together by hand.

In plain terms

Your company already has the information. The problem is that it's scattered: sales in one system, collections in another, inventory in a spreadsheet that only one person updates.

A data platform is the infrastructure that brings all of it into one place, every day, without anyone copying it over. That's where errors get fixed, where each number's formula gets defined and where you decide who can see what.

It doesn't replace your ERP or your CRM. It connects to them and reads from them.

Without a platform and with one

The parts of a platform

Five parts. Each one handles something that's done by hand today.

  1. 01

    Connections to your systems

    Reads your ERP, CRM, spreadsheets, invoices and bank automatically. Nobody downloads a file again.

  2. 02

    Storage in your cloud

    All your information stored in one place, with its full history, in an account under your company's name.

  3. 03

    Cleanup

    Removes duplicates, fixes formats and recognizes the same customer even when it's spelled three different ways.

  4. 04

    Business rules

    Define once what counts as a sale, an active customer or a margin. Every report comes from there.

  5. 05

    Access control

    Who can see what, down to a single branch or a single figure, with a record of who looked at each thing.

What becomes possible

A platform isn't built all at once. It grows in steps, and each one builds on the one before.

  1. 1

    It adds up

    One place, and one definition for every number.

  2. 2

    It runs itself

    Reports update without anyone touching them.

  3. 3

    It shows you

    What nobody sees today comes to light.

  4. 4

    You can ask it

    Ask in your own words, get answers from your own data.

  5. 5

    It warns you

    It flags you when something falls out of the ordinary.

  6. 6

    It predicts

    It forecasts what's coming: demand, customers at risk.

The first three steps are the foundation. Without them, AI answers with data nobody trusts.

What we build it with

We work with two technologies, and we choose one from the start based on what your company needs.

  • AWS

    Amazon's data services, used directly. The right fit for most mid-sized companies: a few sources, reports and alerts, and a low monthly cloud bill.

  • Databricks on AWS

    A specialized platform that runs inside that same cloud. It makes sense with high volumes, several teams working on the same data, or AI on top of your information.

Either way, the account belongs to your company: if we ever stop working together, the platform stays with you.

Security and access

You'll be giving us access to sensitive information. Here's what happens to it.

  • We only read your systems

    We connect to your ERP, CRM and other sources to read, never to write. Depending on the system, through its official connection, a copy of the database or the files it already exports.

  • We come in through access you control

    We work with dedicated users inside your account, with only the permissions they need. You can see what they do and revoke them at any time.

  • Everything is encrypted

    Information is encrypted in transit and at rest, and your system passwords are never written down in any file.

  • Everything is logged

    Every query is recorded: who saw what and when, on your team and on ours.

  • When we're done, it's yours

    You revoke our access and keep the platform running, with its documentation, for whoever you choose to operate it.

Common questions

Do I have to change my ERP or my systems?

No. The platform connects to what you already use and only reads the information. Your operations stay the same.

Where does my information live?

In a cloud account under your company's name. We build it and run it, but it's yours.

How long until it's up and running?

The foundation, with two or three sources, takes four to eight weeks. After that, new sources and reports are added.

Do I need to hire a data team?

Not to start. We can run the platform for you, and if you build your own team later, they take it over fully documented.

Is this the same as a Power BI dashboard?

The dashboard is what you see; the platform is what makes that dashboard correct and keeps it updated on its own. You can keep using Power BI on top of it.

Let's find the report that eats up most of your time.

The first conversation is about understanding which systems you use and where your time goes.
