A: Yes, you’ll need licenses for your users. PowerBI Pro costs ~£8/user/month, PowerBI Premium ~£16/user/month. Tableau is ~£60/user/month. We can advise on the most cost-effective licensing model for your organization. Alternatively, we can build web-based dashboards using open-source tools.

A: Yes! We’ve integrated with all major construction software including Procore, BIM 360, MS Project, Primavera P6, and various ERP systems. If your software has an API or can export data, we can connect it. Even Excel-based workflows can be automated.

A: Basic dashboards (2-3 reports) take 20-25 days. Complex implementations with multiple data sources and advanced analytics may take 35-45 days. We can deliver an MVP (minimum viable product) in 10 days for urgent projects, then enhance iteratively.

A: Data quality is often the biggest challenge! Our implementation process includes data cleansing, standardization, and validation rules. We’ll work with your team to establish data governance processes. In most cases, we can handle 80% of cleanup automatically, with the remaining 20% requiring process improvements.

A: Absolutely! We provide full training and documentation so your power users can modify reports, add new visualizations, and adjust filters. We build dashboards with future customization in mind. Most clients become self-sufficient within 2-3 months, though we’re available for complex changes or new dashboard development.

A: Dashboards are designed to scale automatically. Adding new projects typically requires no changes - data simply flows through existing pipelines. If you change ERP systems or add new data sources, we can update connections for a small fee. We recommend quarterly reviews to ensure dashboards remain aligned with your needs.

A: We implement role-based security matching your organizational hierarchy. Directors see portfolio-level data, Project Managers see their projects, and stakeholders see only relevant sections. All connections use encrypted channels, and we follow ISO 27001 data security standards. Data remains in your environment - we never store client data on our systems.

A: Yes! This is one of our most common requests. We’ll analyze your existing Excel reports, identify key metrics, and recreate them as interactive dashboards with automated updates. You’ll save 10-20 hours per week currently spent on manual Excel updates while gaining much better insights.

A: Yes. All implementations include 3 months of support. After that, we offer monthly retainer support packages (£500-2,000/month) for troubleshooting, enhancements, new dashboard development, and user training. Many clients also engage us quarterly for dashboard optimization and new feature development.
