Numbers you can trust.
Decisions you can act on.
Clear answers from your data. Without the wait.
I turn the data you already have into trusted numbers and confident decisions — as someone who spent 30 years running manufacturing operations, not just building dashboards.

Who I Help
Manufacturers
Engineering Firms
International · Remote
Owner-managed manufacturers of roughly 50–200 staff are my sweet spot — big enough to feel the data pain, too small for a full-time data hire. Engineering firms a close second. South Africa and international, delivered fully remote.
Your data exists. It just doesn't work for you yet.
Can you answer yes to any of the following?
- Never ready — Do you have to rely on your gut when reports aren't there when you need them?
- Too late — By the time the numbers land, the moment has passed.
- Margins slipping — Without anyone noticing until it's too late.
- Cash locked in inventory — With no one able to explain where or why.
- Different story — Every site gives you a different version of the truth.
- Order problems — You find out after the customer already has.
What I Do
Turn Scattered Data into Clear Decisions
Built on real operations experience.
- I have managed operations myself — I understand throughput, cash flow, and decision speed, not just dashboards
- I work with what is already there: ERP systems, Excel, SharePoint, SQL databases
- No system replacements or upgrades required to get started
- The difference between a dashboard that gets used and one that collects dust is whether it was built around how the business actually works
- Sometimes the starting point is figuring out where your data actually lives — or whether it gets captured at all. That is part of the work too.

Real Life Examples
Outcomes You Can See — Interactively
Each dashboard below is built on anonymised real data. Click through, explore, and see exactly what your operation could look like. The biggest leak gets visible first — everything else builds from there.
Customer & Sales
Who is making you money, who is leaving, and why margins shrink without anyone noticing.
- Customer profitability scored and ranked
- Churn risk flagged before customers go quiet
- Margin erosion tracked by customer and segment
- Filter by year, region, and customer segment
Inventory Analysis
What is working, what is sitting, and how much working capital is tied up in stock that does nothing.
- Stock movement velocity by SKU and category
- Shrinkage and risk register with exposure value
- Overstocked SKUs and working capital tied up
- Filter by year, warehouse, and category
Financial Control
One view across income statement, cash flow, and suppliers — with drill-through to transaction level.

Process
How It Works
Minimum commitment. Proven sequence. Each step earns the next.
Discover
We look at your data environment together and agree on what a useful first result looks like.
Solve
A working dashboard or automated process that addresses the single biggest pain point first.
Prove
Results in concrete terms — time saved, manual effort eliminated, decisions now possible that were not before.
Grow
Growth follows your requirements, not a product roadmap. When a new question, department, or data source matters, we bring it in — each step building on what already works.
Clean, structured data is also the foundation that makes AI tools worth using — if that is a direction you want to explore.
I used to start every morning by asking three people for three different numbers. Now I just open the screen.
Engagement
Four Ways to Engage
Matched to the size of the problem. Start small, prove value, expand from there.
Data-Foundation Diagnostic
The entry point. A fixed-fee look at the data you already have — what it can tell you today, where the money is leaking, and the one change that pays for itself first. A visible win in weeks. If your data is not ready, I will tell you straight.
Custom Development
Tailored builds on what you already run — multi-source integrations, business-specific logic, and analytics built around how your team actually works. No new systems for the sake of it.
Monthly Retainer
Ongoing trusted numbers — margin, stock, and cash visibility that stays current — sold one month at a time. No lock-in: every month has to earn the next.
