How We Deliver

From reporting audit to automated delivery.

01

Reporting Audit

We catalogue every report your business produces, the data sources involved, the time spent compiling each one, and the recipients who rely on them.

02

Data Source Mapping

We map the connection between each report and its source systems, identifying the APIs, database queries, or file exports needed to automate the data pull.

03

Automation Build

We build the automated data pipelines, report templates, and AI narrative generation logic. Power BI, Power Automate, and Azure are used depending on your environment.

04

Output Validation

Automated report outputs are compared against manually compiled versions to validate accuracy. Any discrepancies are investigated and resolved before go-live.

05

Scheduled Go-Live

Reports go live on the automated schedule. Manual compilation processes are retired. Recipients receive their reports automatically without any human intervention.

06

Continuous Improvement

We monitor report accuracy, delivery success rates, and recipient feedback. New data sources and report types added to the automation as your needs evolve.

Real Results

Reporting automation for UK businesses.

Manufacturing Operations

A UK manufacturer spent 4 hours every week manually compiling production quality data from three separate systems into a board report, with the data often 48 hours out of date by the time it was distributed.

Automated data aggregation and AI narrative generation. Weekly board report now produced in under 15 minutes with same-day data. Operations director freed from 4 hours of weekly admin.

Financial Services Firm

A financial services firm produced 12 different monthly reports manually, with the finance team spending three full days each month on data extraction, formatting, and distribution.

All 12 reports automated with scheduled delivery. Finance team monthly reporting time reduced from three days to two hours of review and sign-off. Report accuracy improved significantly.

Multi-Site Retail Group

A retail group with 18 locations compiled weekly sales performance reports manually from individual store spreadsheets, with the process taking two days and frequent data quality issues.

Automated data pull from all 18 locations with AI-generated performance commentary. Weekly report delivered every Monday morning without human intervention. Data quality issues eliminated.
