St Helens' economy is built around glass manufacturing, chemicals, logistics and a growing base of retail and service businesses supported by good access to the M62 corridor. Manufacturers and distributors here often track production output, stock and delivery performance in separate systems that get pulled together by hand into a report that is out of date by the time it lands on a manager's desk.
We work with organisations across every sector in St Helens, including manufacturing, retail, professional services, healthcare, logistics, charities and the public sector. We do not specialise in one type of business; we focus on fixing the same data problems wherever they turn up, whatever the industry.
Data consultancy services for St Helens businesses
Data engineering and warehousing
We connect production systems, warehouse management software and finance platforms into a single warehouse, so St Helens businesses stop reconciling three different versions of the same number each week.
Data modelling
Our data modelling services give stock, sales and production data a clear shared structure, which speeds up new reports rather than requiring one built from scratch each time.
Power BI reporting and dashboard design
Through Power BI consultancy and dashboard design we build reporting that covers stock levels, delivery performance and production efficiency, tailored to how St Helens teams actually work day to day.
Data visualisation
Good data visualisation means a warehouse manager can see whether the day is on track at a glance, rather than trawling through spreadsheets to find the answer.
Analytics and forecasting
Our data analytics services help St Helens businesses forecast demand, stock requirements and staffing needs, applying machine learning only where the data genuinely supports it.
Microsoft Fabric
Our Microsoft Fabric consultancy suits St Helens businesses wanting to bring warehouse, production and finance data together on a single Microsoft platform without a large IT project.
Data governance and data quality
Through data governance consulting and data quality management we set clear rules for how stock and customer data is entered and maintained, reducing the errors that cause disputes between warehouse and sales teams.
Data migration
Our data migration services handle the move to a new ERP or warehouse management system, keeping historical reporting intact so nothing is lost in the switch.
Master data management
Our master data management approach gives product and customer records one agreed definition across sales, warehouse and finance systems, cutting down on mismatched reports.
Training and support
We provide Power BI training so staff can build and adjust their own reports, along with continued bi reporting services as your reporting needs grow.
How we work with St Helens businesses
We start with a discovery session to map your data and priorities, then agree a fixed price for a first phase that delivers a working report. Build work is largely remote as part of our UK data consultancy service, with onsite visits to St Helens for workshops and handover, followed by ongoing support once you want it.
We deliver this work remotely UK wide, with onsite visits to St Helens where practical. Contact us to discuss your project.
