Straight answers

Self-service BI FAQ

Good implementation removes uncertainty before the first dashboard is opened.

Do we need a data analyst to use this?

No. We set up the data model, permissions and starting dashboards. Your managers then use plain filters and drill-downs to answer everyday questions.

How long does setup take?

A focused first release can be planned around your sources and priorities, then expanded in stages. We confirm the timetable after reviewing data quality and reporting needs.

Can we connect multiple data sources?

Yes. Xero, Sage, Shopify, HubSpot, Excel and other sources can feed the same reporting model, with clear rules for matching customers, products and dates.

Is it secure and UK GDPR compliant?

Access is role-based, data handling is documented, and dashboards can be limited to the records each person needs. We discuss retention, permissions and UK GDPR responsibilities during planning.

What about training?

We show each role how to read its dashboard, apply filters and save useful views. Your team receives practical guidance tied to its own management reporting.
