Talk to the foundersWhat you get with Authect's business intelligence services
Business intelligence (BI) is the process of collecting, modelling and analysing data so people can see how the business is doing and why. It turns raw figures from your systems into dashboards, reports and alerts that support everyday decisions and long-term strategy.
We combine solid software engineering with data expertise to streamline how data is collected and presented. That means fixing the foundations first: consistent definitions, reliable pipelines and a data model that reflects how your business actually works.
On top of that, we build BI solutions tailored to each team, so they can respond to changes in the market quickly and answer their own questions. Every project is led by a senior engineer, the founders are involved throughout, and the data models and reports are yours from day one.
Service benefits
How business intelligence transforms your organisation
- 01
Higher quality, more accurate data
Validation rules, automated checks and clear definitions mean the numbers in every report are complete, consistent and traceable back to their source.
- 02
Better decisions, made sooner
When insight is a click away rather than a week-long request, teams can react to market shifts, customer behaviour and operational problems while they still matter.
- 03
Lower operating costs
Modern BI tools, or a modernised version of the ones you have, replace manual spreadsheet work and show where time and money are being wasted.
- 04
Clearer returns on investment
Tracking the right metrics across sales, marketing and operations shows which initiatives pay off, so budget moves to what works.
- 05
A deeper understanding of customers
Combining sales, service and behaviour data gives a fuller picture of what customers need, prefer and do, and where they drift away.
- 06
New opportunities, spotted early
Analysis of market trends, customer behaviour and competitor activity helps you see openings and risks before they show up in the quarterly results.

How we deliver custom business intelligence solutions
Three stages take you from scattered reports to a BI solution your teams rely on. A founder and a senior engineer are involved at every stage, and you see real dashboards early.
Assessment and planning
We analyse your current data landscape: systems, sources, infrastructure and the reports people use today. Then we agree with you the questions BI must answer, the metrics that matter and a roadmap to deliver them.

Built with the people who use it
We design reports with the teams who rely on them, testing early drafts with real users so the result answers their questions clearly.

BI tools
Choosing a BI tool: Power BI, Tableau or Looker
We work with all three and recommend based on your data, your team and your existing licences. Here's how they typically compare, though the best choice depends on your situation.
| Microsoft Power BI | Tableau | Looker | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Organisations already on Microsoft 365, Azure or Microsoft Fabric. | Teams that need rich, flexible visual exploration of data. | Companies on Google Cloud, or wanting one governed metrics layer. |
| Data modelling | Semantic models built in Power BI, with DAX for calculations. | Models in data sources and workbooks, with strong blending of sources. | Metrics defined centrally in LookML and version-controlled like code. |
| Self-service | Familiar for Excel users, with a large community and training material. | Drag-and-drop exploration that analysts tend to enjoy using. | Business users explore governed data without writing SQL. |
| Sharing and embedding | Sharing through the Power BI service and Microsoft Teams, plus embedding. | Tableau Cloud or Server, with embedding in your own applications. | Strong embedding and APIs for putting analytics inside your products. |
| Things to watch | Licensing and capacity choices need planning as usage grows. | Per-user costs can add up for large groups of viewers. | Needs engineers comfortable with LookML to set up and maintain. |

FAQs
Business intelligence services FAQs
What are business intelligence services?
Business intelligence services cover collecting, cleaning, modelling and presenting your organisation's data so people can make better decisions. That includes connecting source systems, building a data warehouse or semantic model, and designing the dashboards, reports and alerts each team needs, plus the training and support to keep them useful.
How do business intelligence services support company growth?
BI shows what is working and what isn't, quickly and in one place. Teams can spot trends, fix problems and back the right initiatives sooner, and leadership gets a reliable picture of performance across the business, which makes growth easier to plan and to manage.
What are the typical components of a BI solution?
Most BI solutions have connectors and pipelines that bring data in from source systems, a warehouse or lakehouse that stores it, a semantic layer that defines metrics and relationships consistently, and a visualisation tool for dashboards and reports, all wrapped in access controls and monitoring.
Can you work with the BI tool we already have?
Yes. If you already use Power BI, Tableau, Looker or another tool, we usually build on it: fixing the data model underneath, rationalising existing reports and adding what's missing. We only suggest changing tools when there's a clear reason to.
How quickly will we see the first dashboards?
We aim to put a first working dashboard on real data in front of you early in the project, then improve it with your feedback. Exact timing depends on the state of your data sources, which we assess in the first stage and share with you in the plan.
