The challenge
Every Monday morning, someone spent four hours pulling together sales data from three separate spreadsheet exports. By the time the report was ready, the week had already started — and the numbers were already out of date.
The approach
We agreed six KPIs with leadership, standardised the three data sources into a clean Power BI model, and built a single-page dashboard that refreshes automatically when the source files are updated.
The outcome
Monthly reporting reduced from a half-day task to a dashboard refresh. Leadership gained clear product and category visibility for the first time — and identified a seasonal pattern they had not previously tracked.

Anonymised engagement — client details generalised.
Dashboard views
Each view was designed around a specific reporting question, not just a default chart layout.
