From mill-town manufacturers to MediaCity digital
The North West's economy mixes heritage and growth: manufacturers and distributors with decades of ERP history sit alongside one of Europe's fastest-growing digital and e-commerce clusters. Both generate the same problem - operational data trapped in systems that don't talk to each other.
We consolidate ERP, e-commerce, warehouse, and finance data into one governed Microsoft platform, then build the Power BI layer that shows margin, stock, and performance as it happens - not three weeks after month-end.
Engagements are senior-led on UK hours, priced in GBP, and scoped to what your team can own and maintain after we leave.
Retail & E-commerce
Sales, stock and margin analytics across stores and online channels.
Manufacturing & Distribution
Production, OEE and supply chain dashboards from the shop floor up.
Digital & Tech
Product usage and revenue analytics that scale with growth.
Professional & Financial Services
Utilisation, pipeline and client reporting in one governed view.

Yes. We design and implement full Microsoft Fabric platforms - OneLake, lakehouse architecture, pipelines and migration from legacy systems - alongside the Power BI reporting layer.
Yes - ERP, e-commerce and warehouse integrations into a single governed platform are the most common North West engagement we run, so trading and operational data lands analysis-ready rather than exported and reconciled by hand.
Most engagements begin with a free 30-minute consultation followed by a short scoping phase. For well-defined projects, delivery typically starts within a few weeks of scope sign-off.
