Business Intelligence & Automation

Stop wrestling with spreadsheets.
Start seeing what your data actually means.

We connect the software you already use — Xero, Simpro, ServiceM8, custom SQL databases, and more — and combine it into one automated Power BI dashboard. No manual exports, no broken formulas, no digging through five systems to answer one question.

The spreadsheet headache, solved

Most small and mid-sized businesses are running critical decisions off manual exports and formulas one wrong keystroke away from breaking.

Before
Manual data exports Hours every week pulling CSV files from Xero, your CRM, or field software by hand.
Fragile, broken formulas One accidental keystroke can take out an entire spreadsheet — and often does.
Outdated insights Financial decisions made on reports that are already a week old by the time anyone reads them.
No trend visibility Comparing this month to last means digging up old file versions — if anyone kept them.
With OG Data
Automated ingestion Data flows directly and securely from your existing platforms — no human touches it.
A pipeline that doesn't break Built on proper relational logic that stays stable month after month, not a spreadsheet held together with hope.
Insight, not just data Numbers from separate systems combined and cross-checked automatically, surfacing patterns and true margins that don't show up in any single spreadsheet.
Scheduled refreshes, historic snapshots Your dashboard updates on a set schedule and keeps a snapshot every time it refreshes — so you can see trends over time, not just today's number.

From your systems to a dashboard you can trust

Every build starts with a scoping session — because the right pipeline depends entirely on what your data actually looks like.

01

Scope & Map

Data Mapping Session

We sit down with you, walk through every system that holds business data, and document what's there, how it connects, and what's worth automating. Where needed, we coordinate directly with your IT department or MSP to arrange system access. You get a written map of your data landscape — useful on its own, and the lead-in to an accurate, fixed-price quote for the full build.

02

Extract

Secure API Connection

We connect securely to your existing software endpoints — Xero, Simpro, ServiceM8, custom SQL databases, or whatever platform your business already runs on.

03

Transform

The Logic Engine

Raw data is cleaned, duplicates removed, systems linked together, and your true operational margins calculated.

04

Load

Power BI Delivery

Your clean data lands in an interactive Power BI dashboard — refreshing on a schedule you set, with a historic snapshot kept at every refresh so trends over time are always there to see.

Enterprise data discipline, scaled for local business

Our data engineering approach draws on experience from Tier 1 corporate banking and other regulated risk environments. Our team also brings hands-on dashboard and automation experience from legal professional services finance functions and current work building dashboards within NSW State Government.

That same level of data integrity, mathematical precision, and security compliance goes into every pipeline we build for the Illawarra's growing businesses — without the enterprise price tag or the ongoing consultant retainer.

Real results, not just promises

A snapshot of the kind of automation and dashboard work our team has delivered across banking, legal, government, and commercial environments.

Reporting Automation

Cutting manual reporting effort by over 50%

Challenge: A financial services team was producing 10+ recurring reports manually each month, eating into analyst time and carrying real risk of manual error.

Approach: Audited the existing reporting process, redesigned the underlying data flows, and automated report generation end-to-end.

Result: 50%+ reduction in manual effort, faster turnaround times, and a measurable drop in reporting errors.

Custom Automation Tool

Automating finance operations for a legal services firm

Challenge: A legal services firm's finance team was manually processing invoices — slow, repetitive, and error-prone.

Approach: Built a custom Python-based desktop application to automate the invoicing workflow end-to-end.

Result: Over 50% reduction in manual finance workload, freeing the team to focus on higher-value work.

Dashboard Design & Build

Driving a 40% lift in customer engagement

Challenge: A digital entertainment company needed sharper visibility into customer engagement and acquisition to target segments effectively.

Approach: Designed and built an interactive Power BI dashboard consolidating data from multiple marketing and CRM platforms — Facebook Ads, Google Analytics, Apple Search Ads, and CRM systems.

Result: A 40% increase in user engagement and acquisition through more precise, data-driven targeting.

Data Warehouse Build

Building a company-wide data warehouse

Challenge: A growing company needed a single, reliable data architecture instead of siloed systems spread across finance, sales, and operations.

Approach: Authored the business requirements and designed the data warehouse architecture from the ground up, consolidating six-plus source systems.

Result: 30+ dashboards and reports now run on a single, unified, trustworthy data foundation used across the business.
