Figures nobody argues about any more.
This is where we started in 2016, and it is still our core craft. We define KPIs properly, build the data models and design reports on top of them that people can base decisions on. Not a cosmetic exercise for the next board meeting, but a tool that is used every day and keeps working without us.
What really matters
One definition of each KPI, for everyone
Revenue, order intake and margin are defined once, centrally, and every group company calculates them the same way. That changes the conversation in management: less arguing about which figure is right, more discussion of what to do about it.
Updated daily, not three weeks after month-end
Data is loaded automatically, so nobody exports anything by hand any more. If someone asks, any group figure can be traced back to the individual document in the source system.
Built so your team can maintain it
Permissions, deployments and documentation are part of the job. Your people should be able to extend reports themselves without having to call us. That may sound unusual for a consultancy, but it is exactly why clients recommend us.
How we approach it together
Who needs which figure, and how often?
With the business teams, we establish which KPIs genuinely drive decisions. With IT, we establish where the data comes from and how reliable it is.
Model first, report second
The semantic model holds the logic; the dashboards simply display it. That keeps the reporting tool replaceable and the knowledge in your hands.
Maintain, extend, hand over
We run the reports for you, or hand them over to your team with documentation and training. Either works. It is your call.
Five specific improvements to one of your reports
Many reports are slow or contradict each other, and the visuals are almost never to blame. Describe a report to us, and we will come back to you with a secure way to share it, then send you five specific improvements. Free of charge.

Where the scope is clear from the outset, we work to a fixed price; ongoing operations are billed as a monthly flat fee. We discuss figures in person after the assessment, when both sides know what is involved.

Some figures
Our toolset: Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, DAX, Tabular Editor, SAP integration, Deployment Pipelines.
For companies of every size
A managing director with 150 staff doesn't need 40 dashboards. They need five figures that are right and waiting for them every morning. That is exactly what we build in Power BI, connecting SAP Business One, Business Central, DATEV or whatever else you run.
Invoice and inspection-deadline agents for facilities management
Every maintenance invoice is checked against its contract, and no inspection deadline slips through. How it works at a facilities management provider with 600 properties.
Around 3,100 invoices arrive each month across 600 properties, from lift companies, cleaning firms, gritting and snow-clearing services and inspection bodies. The framework contracts are spread across three folder structures; the inspection reports sit in the property managers' inboxes. Maintenance visits billed twice come to light at year-end. Missed inspection deadlines come to light when the insurer spots them. And the monthly reporting to the owners is put together by hand in Excel.

See the solutionFrequently asked questions
We already use Power BI. What would a redesign give us?
Usually fewer reports and more trust in them. A clean semantic model makes reports faster, permissions simpler and figures traceable. The Reporting Check shows where things are getting stuck in your setup.
What is the Sales Cube?
A group-wide view across several SAP systems. Revenue, order intake, order backlog and gross margin are defined once, centrally, and updated daily down to the individual order line. The Sales Cube was originally built for a global energy technology company following its carve-out.
Does this lock us into Power BI?
No. The logic lives in the model and the platform. The reporting tool only displays it, so it can be replaced.
Will you train our team?
Yes, during the project and afterwards. Your developers work alongside us and take over step by step. That matters more to us than a slide-based training session at the end.
Shall we talk about your first process?
In a Short Assessment we sit down with your business team and IT and look at one process together. You leave with a clear target design and an effort estimate we stand behind. Free of charge.
