Clients usually come to us at one of three points. You’re building a data and analytics environment for the first time and want it done properly from the start. You’ve outgrown the setup you have, and reporting that worked at your old size can no longer keep up. Or you’ve inherited an environment that’s become hard to maintain or hard to trust, and you need someone to get it back under control.
In each case we work the whole environment, not just the layer you see: the data foundation, the integration and modelling underneath it, and the reports your team uses day to day.
A solution that still makes sense in three years isn’t luck. It comes from working the same way every time, whoever on our team is doing the build. We call that the Bitmetric Blueprint: a structured way of building and running data environments so they stay maintainable as your business changes. In practice it comes down to three things.
Before we get into technology, we work out what you’re trying to achieve and how your business actually runs. A report that answers the wrong question is wasted effort, however well it’s built. Getting the outcome clear first is what keeps everything after it pointed the right way.
We’re certified across Qlik, the Microsoft stack and TimeXtender, and we work with Snowflake, Databricks and others besides. That range is the point: it lets us pick what suits your situation rather than steer you toward the one tool we happen to sell. Knowing several tools well beats being loyal to one.
Analytics that stops making sense rarely fails at the dashboard. It fails underneath, in a data foundation that couldn’t keep up as the business changed. So we put the most care into the part nobody sees, the integration and modelling that stay maintainable over time. That’s what decides whether what we build still makes sense three years on.
The Blueprint isn’t something we describe in a pitch and forget. It’s how we built the environments in the cases below, several of which have been running and growing for years.
We’re certified partners for Qlik, the Microsoft data stack (Power BI, Fabric and Azure) and TimeXtender. Certification matters less for the badge than for what sits behind it: people who work in these tools daily and know where each one is strong and where it gets in the way.
We build, modernise and support Qlik Sense and Qlik Cloud environments, from data modelling and dashboards to governance and long-term maintainability.
We help teams build maintainable Power BI environments on solid data foundations, from reporting and modelling to governance and adoption.
We help organisations use Microsoft Fabric as a practical analytics foundation, combining data engineering, modelling, governance and reporting in one environment.
We use TimeXtender to build governed and manageable data platforms, from integration and data quality to orchestration, documentation and semantic models.
We also build on Snowflake and Databricks, and work with other platforms when they’re the better fit for what you’re trying to do.
Often we start with a three-day proof of concept: we build something real with your data, which tells us how it actually behaves, sharpens the scope and estimate, and gives both sides a feel for working together before anyone commits to a longer project.
From there, how we work with you is a choice, not a fixed model:
Four examples of what that looks like in practice. Different sectors, different tools, the same approach underneath.
Their Qlik setup couldn’t keep up as they grew, overnight reloads ran past the window and the BI team lost its days to manual fixes. We built a TimeXtender foundation that let them move to Power BI without a rebuild, and now feeds reporting across the business in near real time.
“A solid foundation we can continue to build on”
Report logic lived in individual reports, so the same word meant different things in different places, and queries could stall live systems. We built a governed foundation on Azure SQL and TimeXtender, with Qlik Sense on top, and joined up data that had never been connected.
“The best partner for us, now and for the future”
Clients wanted live campaign reporting; DPG was building it by hand in PowerPoint, on request only. We built a dynamic portal on Qlik covering thousands of campaigns across 70 brands, so clients can see performance for themselves.
“A state-of-the-art portal with minimal investment of time and money”
Topgeschenken runs four consumer brands on a mix of ERP and operational systems. We pulled that data together into Qlik so operations and management get one view across all of it, down to fine-grained demand forecasting for steering daily activity.
“A no-nonsense organisation without unnecessary buzzwords”
A short call is usually enough to find out. No preparation needed, just bring your questions.
We’ve built data and analytics for organisations across a wide range of sectors. The work is rarely the same twice, a fresh-produce supply chain and an international public-sector organisation need very different things from their data, and most of what makes a solution fit is understanding that context, not the technology.
Where we have particular depth:
We also work across insurance, media, e-commerce and retail, occupational health, SaaS, and public-sector and international organisations, among others. The sector changes; the way we work doesn’t.
Yes. We’re certified across Qlik, the Microsoft stack and TimeXtender, and we work with other platforms besides, so we start from what you have rather than pushing a replacement. When a change does make sense, we say so and explain why. For Nature’s Pride we built a foundation that let them move from Qlik to Power BI without rebuilding from scratch.
Often with a three-day proof of concept. In three days we build something real with your data. That tells us how your data actually behaves, not how anyone hoped it behaves, sharpens the scope and the estimate, and gives both sides an honest feel for working together. If it clicks, we plan the full build on solid ground. If it doesn’t, you’ve spent three days finding that out, not three months and a budget.
Either, and it’s your choice, not a fixed model. We can build and hand over with your team trained to run it, build alongside your people so the knowledge transfers as we go, or build it and keep running it. We work the same way regardless, so taking it in-house later is always open to you.
That’s your choice too. Your team can run it, with the environment documented and maintainable so they can, or we keep supporting it through our Support service. Either way, what we build is yours.
From single-brand operations to organisations with thousands of users across multiple countries. The way we work is the same; the scale of what we build flexes to fit.
It depends on the state of your data, but starting with a solid foundation is what makes value compound rather than arrive all at once. Some clients see useful results in weeks, and the foundation is what keeps paying off for years.
