Stoke-on-Trent's economy has diversified well beyond its ceramics heritage into advanced manufacturing, logistics and distribution given its central location, and a growing base of digital and professional services businesses. Manufacturers here, whether long established or newer entrants, tend to hold detailed production and quality data that rarely makes it into a report anyone outside the factory floor ever sees.
We work with organisations across every sector in Stoke-on-Trent, including manufacturing, retail, professional services, healthcare, logistics, charities and the public sector. There is no industry we specialise in over any other; instead we focus on the same underlying issue, which is turning scattered data into reporting that people actually trust and use day to day.
Data consultancy services for Stoke-on-Trent businesses
Data engineering and warehousing
We connect production systems, stock control, finance software and spreadsheets into a single warehouse, so Stoke-on-Trent businesses get one consistent set of figures rather than several conflicting versions floating around in different spreadsheets.
Data modelling
Our data modelling services give production, sales and finance data a shared structure, which makes it possible to link output figures directly to cost and revenue without manual rework each month.
Power BI reporting and dashboard design
Through Power BI consultancy and dashboard design we build dashboards covering production efficiency, quality metrics and order status, designed for use on the shop floor as well as in the office.
Data visualisation
Our data visualisation work presents production and quality data in a way that highlights exceptions quickly, rather than leaving them buried in tables that few people ever open.
Analytics and forecasting
Our data analytics services help forecast demand and capacity, using machine learning selectively where a business has enough historical data for it to add real value over simpler approaches.
Microsoft Fabric
Our Microsoft Fabric consultancy suits Stoke-on-Trent manufacturers wanting to bring shop floor data and business systems together under one platform without a heavy, expensive IT project.
Data governance and data quality
Through data governance consulting and data quality management we help set clear rules for how data is recorded on the production line and in back office systems, reducing mismatches between the two over time.
Data migration
Our data migration services support moves to new ERP or stock control systems, keeping historical production and financial data intact through the switch.
Master data management
Our master data management work gives Stoke-on-Trent businesses one agreed set of product, supplier and customer records, cutting down on the manual checking that duplicate data currently creates.
Training and support
We provide Power BI training so staff can build their own reports, alongside BI reporting services for businesses reviewing an existing setup built some time ago by someone who has since moved on.
How we work with Stoke-on-Trent businesses
We start with a discovery session to understand your systems and priorities, then agree a fixed price for the first phase of work. Delivery combines remote work with onsite visits to Stoke-on-Trent for workshops and handover, and ongoing support is available once reporting is live.
We deliver our data consultancy remotely to businesses across Stoke-on-Trent and the rest of the UK, with on-site visits arranged where practical. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
