Stockport has quietly become one of the more interesting business locations in Greater Manchester. Redcliffe, the town centre regeneration, plus a long standing base of engineering, distribution and professional services firms across the borough. Most of the data consultancy work we pick up here starts with a team that has outgrown spreadsheets and needs a real platform underneath, without the eye watering cost of a big four engagement.
A typical Stockport project starts with data engineering. We pull the finance system, CRM, operational tools and the shared drive full of spreadsheets into a clean warehouse on Azure or Microsoft Fabric, and model it properly. From there the data analytics and reporting layer goes on top, driving weekly board packs, self serve dashboards and the odd deeper piece of analysis for a specific decision.
For clients with an obvious forecasting or scoring problem we bring in machine learning. Demand planning for a manufacturer, churn scoring for a subscription business, cash forecasting for finance. We build scalable pipelines so a working model can extend across the business rather than staying stuck in a proof of concept folder. The consulting services we offer are deliberately small step, and we are committed to delivering something usable inside the first month.
Plenty of Stockport clients have sites or sister businesses in Manchester, Salford and Bolton, and we happily bring the lot into the same model. Drop us a message with what is annoying you most about your current reporting and we will come back the same working day.
