York's economy sits on a mix of heritage tourism, professional services, insurance, education and a growing cluster of digital and creative businesses around the station and Hungate areas. Alongside the visitor economy, the city is home to head offices, specialist manufacturers and a large university sector that all generate more data than they have time to make sense of. Finance teams in York still spend hours each month rekeying figures into spreadsheets that break the moment someone edits the wrong cell.
We work with organisations across every sector in York and the surrounding area, including manufacturing, retail, professional services, healthcare, logistics, charities and the public sector. There is no industry we consider off limits, because the underlying problem is usually the same: data locked in disconnected systems, no single version of the truth, and reporting that takes days rather than minutes.
Data consultancy services for York businesses
Data engineering and warehousing
We build pipelines that pull data out of finance systems, CRMs, booking platforms and spreadsheets into a single warehouse, so numbers only need to be entered once and everything downstream stays consistent.
Data modelling
Through our data modelling services we design star schemas and clear relationships between tables, which keeps reports fast and stops totals doubling up when new data sources are added.
Power BI reporting and dashboard design
Our Power BI consultancy and dashboard designwork gives York teams a single place to see sales, occupancy, membership numbers or project margins, built around how people actually make decisions rather than how the source system happens to store data.
Data visualisation
Good data visualisation means a manager can glance at a screen and know whether the week is on track, instead of scrolling through pivot tables to find the answer.
Analytics and forecasting
Through data analytics services we help York organisations forecast demand, cash flow or staffing needs, using statistical models first and machine learning only where the volume of data genuinely supports it.
Microsoft Fabric
Where a business has outgrown spreadsheets and separate tools, our Microsoft Fabric consultancy brings data engineering, warehousing and reporting together under one Microsoft platform, reducing the number of licences and integrations a small IT team has to manage.
Data governance and data quality
Our data governance consulting and data quality management work puts ownership and checks in place so duplicate customer records and inconsistent product codes get fixed at source rather than patched in every report.
Data migration
When a York business changes finance or CRM systems, our data migration services make sure historical data moves across cleanly, so trend reporting does not have a gap on the day of go live.
Power BI training and ongoing support
Once a solution is live we offer Power BI training so staff can build their own reports, plus Power BI support and a Power BI auditfor businesses that have inherited reports built by someone who has since left.
How we work with York businesses
Engagements start with a short discovery conversation to understand your systems and priorities. We then agree a fixed price for the first phase, usually a data model and one working report, so you can see value before committing further. Build work happens mostly remotely with occasional onsite visits to York for workshops and handover, and we offer ongoing support once the reporting is in day to day use.
We also support businesses in Leeds, Harrogate and Hull. Get in touch to talk through what you need.
