Client stories

A few projects my team and I are proud of. Client names are kept private, but the numbers are real.

7 days → same day

Weekly reports became same-day reports

US furniture retailer, online plus 40+ showrooms

The problem: Every week, the team pulled four separate exports and stitched them together by hand in Power BI. Leaders saw last week's numbers five to seven days late, and analysts spent most of their time preparing data instead of studying it.

What we did: We connected their web analytics, data warehouse and Power BI so the data flows in automatically. No more manual exports.

The result: Same-day reporting instead of a week's delay, and about 60% of analyst time freed up for work that looks forward, not back.

Manual → automatic

From manual spreadsheet checks to automatic compliance screening

Growing South African business with a large network of clients and suppliers

The problem: Every new client had to be checked by hand against a UN screening list, using spreadsheets. Names were spelt in different ways, files were large, and the system kept timing out. Onboarding was slow and mistakes were easy to make.

What we did: We built one admin platform for all client and supplier records. Staff upload a file, and the platform cleans the data, checks every name against the UN list automatically, and processes large files in the background.

The result: Nobody compares names by hand any more. Screening now happens automatically for every new client, large files that used to crash the system run quietly in the background, and onboarding no longer waits on compliance.

80% → 98%

Forecast accuracy from 80% to 98%

Specialist retailer

The problem: The buying team forecast demand by hand. They were often overstocked on slow sellers and out of stock on bestsellers.

What we did: We built a forecasting model that learns from past sales, promotions and outside demand signals.

The result: Forecast accuracy rose from 80% to 98% within two trading cycles, with fewer write-offs and better stock on core lines.

5+ years

A technology partner for over five years

A South African property and leisure group

The challenge: As the group grew, its teams needed their business applications and reporting to keep up: clearer dashboards, faster approvals, and quicker access to information.

What we do: We have built and supported their marketing and sales application for more than five years. We are now improving their operations application with better dashboards, simpler navigation, faster approval workflows and smarter search, backed by a service-level agreement. Alongside this, we look after their Power BI reporting and Power Apps work.

The result: One trusted team across their applications and reporting, and a relationship that has grown project by project.

If something here sounds like a problem you are facing, I would be glad to hear about it. A short call is often enough to tell whether there is a fit.
