Common situation
The same information in five different places
Accounting, Excel files and emails never quite agree, so every report starts with checking them against each other.
-
What it looks like
- Customer, product or project data is kept in several systems and files.
- Figures from finance and operations don’t match, and it takes time to find out why.
- Changing one detail means updating it in several places, and someone always forgets one.
- There is no single place to see the status of a project, contract or customer.
-
What it costs you
Time goes into reconciling instead of improving. Errors spread from one system to the next, and management stops trusting the figures.
-
How we fix it
We map where each piece of information is created and where it is used, and agree which system is the reference for each one.
Then we connect the systems so that data flows in one direction, and we bring everything together in one model that reports and dashboards can rely on.
What the solution can look like
These are examples. Every solution is sized to the problem, and sometimes a better process is all it takes.
-
Single dataset
One structured data model that combines accounting, operational and project data, with clear rules for how they connect.
-
System integration
Automatic synchronisation between systems, so a change made in one place appears everywhere it is needed.
-
One shared view
A dashboard for each customer, contract or project, built on that shared data instead of on copies of it.
A similar problem, solved
On a public infrastructure project in Chile, hours, deliverables, budgets and invoices kept in several spreadsheets were brought into one dataset. More than 1,500 consulting hours a month could then be checked in one place.
