Business data analysis

We combine your sales, expenses, stock and other business files into one checked dataset, a clear dashboard and a management report.

Most organisations already have the information they need to make better decisions. It is just spread across separate spreadsheets for sales, expenses and stock, with different product names, date formats and currencies. We bring those files together carefully and turn them into one dashboard and a management report written in plain English.

How your files become one report

  1. Your filesSales, expenses, stock, product and customer lists in Excel or CSV.
  2. Quality checkWe find duplicates, missing values, mixed dates and numbers stored as text.
  3. ConnectFiles are linked by product code, customer or month, with checks against double counting.
  4. DashboardSales, expenses, profitability and inventory in one view.
  5. ReportA PDF management report and an Excel workbook you can share.

Good to know

  • We never invent missing figures. If a calculation cannot be done reliably from your data, the report says so and explains why.
  • Amounts in different currencies are never added together unless exchange rates are agreed and stated.
  • Naira is the default currency; US dollars, pounds, euros, cedis, shillings, rand and CFA francs are also supported.
  • Your original files are kept unchanged. Every cleaning step is listed so you can check it.
