Tableau
and analytics

Most reporting problems are not reporting problems. They are disagreements about definitions, dressed up as a request for a dashboard. We settle the definitions first.

Typical starting points

  • Two teams reporting different numbers
  • A dashboard nobody opens
  • Board reporting assembled by hand each month
  • Salesforce reports that stop where the question starts

What it solves

Everyone has a number and none of them match

The monthly meeting spends its first twenty minutes reconciling figures instead of deciding anything. That is not a tooling problem.

Nobody agreed what the metric means

Bookings, pipeline, active customer — defined differently by finance, sales and operations, so every number is defensible and none is shared.

The board pack is assembled by hand

Days of somebody’s month spent copying figures between systems, with the errors that implies.

Dashboards were built and abandoned

Made for a question that mattered once, never revisited, and now quietly wrong.

The data is in the warehouse but the meaning is not

Technically accessible, practically unusable, because the business logic lives in people’s heads.

Self-service became self-confusion

Everyone empowered to build reports, so there are now four hundred and no agreement.

Reporting stops at the platform boundary

Salesforce reports answer Salesforce questions, and the interesting questions cross systems.

Specialties

What we implement on Tableau

We do not start with the product. We start with the problem, then use only what solves it.

Metric definition

Agreeing what things mean before building anything that counts them. The unglamorous part that determines success.

Executive dashboards

A small number of views leadership actually opens, built around decisions rather than around available fields.

Operational reporting

Day-to-day visibility for the people running the work, not just for the people reviewing it.

Salesforce and Tableau together

CRM Analytics, Tableau and native reporting used where each genuinely fits.

Data preparation

Shaping and cleaning so the visualisation is not compensating for the source.

Governance

Certified sources, ownership and a route for retiring reports that have outlived their question.

Embedded analytics

Insight where the work happens rather than in a separate tool nobody opens.

Enablement

Teaching your people to maintain it, so you are not dependent on us for a chart.

Our process

You see working software long before go-live

The same shape on every engagement, sized to the business. Each stage produces something you can look at and react to, rather than a document you approve and hope for.

01

Discovery

We learn how your business runs before we touch the org — including the parts that are not on Salesforce yet.

02

Blueprint

Scope agreed and locked, priorities set, and a phased plan that says plainly what is not happening in phase one.

03

Build in phases

Regular demos of real, working configuration — so course corrections happen while they are still cheap.

04

Deploy and enable

Migration, testing, cutover and training owned by us — adoption is part of the job, not an afterthought.

05

Beyond go-live

The same team stays. Go-live is where the value starts compounding, not where the relationship ends.

Integrations

One version of the number, wherever it is read

Chomps

A Salesforce org sitting unused turned into a real-time business intelligence platform — campaign management, structured reporting and the visibility leadership had been assembling by hand.

Civil construction

Let's talk about which number you disagree about

Not a cookie-cutter demo. A conversation about what your leadership needs to see, what it currently takes to produce it, and where the definitions diverge.
