Sensitive data, in safe hands.

Retail performance wasn't tracked and there was no way to benchmark against competitors. The numbers that mattered were also scattered across systems that didn't talk: finance in the accounting package, sales in another tool, operations in the ERP. So no single report ever told the whole story.

What we built

Power BI dashboards that track store-level performance and benchmark it against competitor data, with financial data from the accounting software pulled into the same reports as external sales and other systems. We also made sense of their ERP data and extended what it could do by integrating custom data-capture apps.

Outcome

Finance, sales and operations finally in one place: one trustworthy set of reports instead of stitching systems together by hand.

Production wasn't being measured: no downtime insights and no OEE, so there was no objective view of how the lines were actually running.

What we built

Custom applications that capture machine and line data straight off the factory floor, feeding Power BI dashboards for downtime and OEE KPIs.

Outcome

An objective, real-time view of line performance: downtime and OEE the team can act on, instead of guesswork.

Staff records, contracts and documents were scattered across drawers, inboxes and spreadsheets, and things slipped through the cracks. Payroll was the real pain: processing wages for 1,000+ employees took the best part of a week, hours were captured by hand, and there was no live view of absenteeism, leave or deductions.

What we built

A central system for employee records and documents (with expiring items flagged before they lapse), plus custom Time & Attendance apps and processes that capture hours out in the field and on the factory floor, and clocking people in by the actual work they're doing rather than a manual punch. It all feeds live dashboards for absenteeism, leave and deductions.

Outcome

Wage processing for 1,000+ employees went from a week to a single morning, with absenteeism, leave and deductions now visible live, and nothing slipping through the cracks.

Bookings, operations and cost data sat in different places, so it was hard to see how the business was really doing day to day. Wages and inventory were run off spreadsheets and gut feel, with no single, current view.

What we built

A consolidated Power BI dashboard that pulls bookings, operations and costs into one place, plus custom apps to manage wages and inventory, so the day-to-day admin runs in the same system the reporting comes from.

Outcome

A clear, current view of performance, with wages and stock under control instead of wrangled by hand each month.
