Your data is the secret sauce.

We consolidate your data and build the reporting, tools and automations to multiply your output. One function at a time.

Nothing clever runs on messy data.

Giving AI unorganised, disjointed data is like asking someone to read without their glasses. Most businesses are in that position. Every tool tells a different story about the same month, so reporting stays manual and the numbers get argued over in meetings.

The data is the blocker, and almost nobody has theirs ready.

For AI and humans to work efficiently, they need a single source of truth, so that comes first.

Why plugging AI straight into your apps doesn't fix this →

What an out sauce build looks like.

One database under all of it. Each function you add later plugs into the same foundation.

Reporting and notifications.

Board packs and stakeholder reports produced from live data, with updates and alerts sent on a schedule.

Start where it hurts and build out from there.

Every engagement starts with one function, usually the one costing you most. That becomes Phase 1.

Marketing

Which channels and partners actually drive results?

Every channel and partner in one view, on one set of definitions.

Spend next to results, with cost per result by channel.

The monthly board report built from live data. You review it and add the commentary.

Sales

What's our margin by customer and product, after trade spend?

Orders pulled in from where they start, never re-keyed.

Trade spend entered once, with an owner and an approval.

Margin by brand, customer and product.

A Slack alert when a KPI crosses its threshold.

Finance

Do sales and the accounts agree?

Read-only access to Xero for each entity.

Sales reconciled against the ledger each month, with every difference flagged and explained.

Your forecast, read as it is today, with actuals shown against it.

Supply

How many orders are still keyed in by hand?

EDI orders read in automatically, and email orders lifted out of the inbox.

Each order checked by a person before it reaches your stock system.

More questions your business could answer →

Every engagement runs the same way.

01

Audit.

We map each function as it currently runs, not as the org chart says it does. You get a ranked list of what's worth fixing first.

02

The foundation.

Your data in one place, owned by you. One database, with your existing tools wired in so it stays current on its own.

03

Your operating system.

The views and workflows your team needs, in your language. We keep what already works and replace what doesn't.

04

Reporting and AI.

With clean, organised data, we automate repeatable work and flag the edge cases that need human oversight, in the Slack and email your team already uses.
