BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Business Intelligence consulting in Barcelona
to turn your data into decisions
We are a Business Intelligence consulting firm based in Barcelona, working with companies across Spain. We organize and connect the data in your ERP, your CRM and your spreadsheets, and we build dashboards in Power BI and other tools so you can decide with reliable, up-to-date figures.
What does Business Intelligence consulting involve?
Almost every company already has the data it needs. The problem is that it is spread across the ERP, the CRM, several spreadsheets and a few people’s heads, and every time someone asks for a figure it has to be rebuilt by hand. Decisions end up being made with whatever information can be gathered in time, not with the information that is actually needed.
In Business Intelligence consulting we work on the data before the tool. Power BI, Looker or any other tool only displays what it is given: if the information arrives disorganized, incomplete or calculated differently depending on where it comes from, the dashboard will look good and be unreliable. That is why we always start by locating your sources, understanding how each piece of data is generated and agreeing on common criteria.
The groundwork: getting your data in order
Locating the sources
Which systems hold each piece of data, who enters it and how often it is updated. There are usually more sources than it seems, and one that nobody remembered.
Agreeing on common criteria
The same indicator is often calculated differently in each department. Before visualizing anything, you need to agree on exactly what each figure means.
Connecting and automating
Connecting each system so the data arrives on its own and up to date, without anyone having to export and paste it every month. And if your systems also need to share data with each other, we handle it through ERP integration.
Our Business Intelligence consulting services
We analyze how data is generated, stored and used in your company to design a strategy that turns it into a real tool for control and decision making.
We design Data Lakes, Data Warehouses and optimized data models for reliable business analysis, with consistent metrics and better control of information.
We design dashboards and reports in Power BI to visualize key indicators, analyze how the business is performing and make decisions with data that updates automatically.
We apply advanced analytics to your customer, operations and team data to spot patterns, room for improvement and levers for growth.
What data we connect in a Business Intelligence project
Reliable data from the source
A dashboard is only as good as the data it receives. That is why, before designing any report, we identify the systems each figure comes from and connect them so the information arrives on its own, complete and up to date.
One single version of every figure for the whole company.
We work with the usual sources of any company: the ERP, the CRM, the online store and the spreadsheets used every day. And if your systems also need to share data with each other, we solve it through ERP integration.
Once the dashboard is up and running, we train your team to use it and take care of maintenance, so it stays reliable even when your systems change.
ERP
Sales, purchasing, invoicing, stock and accounting: the basis of most indicators. If you work with Odoo or Dynamics 365, which we also implement, we start from a system we know well.
CRM
Opportunities, customers and sales activity, to track the sales pipeline and the forecast.
Online store
Orders, products and customers from your ecommerce, to cross online sales with the rest of the business.
Excel
The spreadsheets that are filled in by hand today start feeding the reports, with no more copying and pasting.
Business Intelligence tools: Power BI, Looker, Tableau and the ones you already use
As a Microsoft partner, we mainly build Power BI dashboards, as it is the most widely used tool. We also work with Looker, Tableau, Qlik and Metabase, and with the tools you already use. And if you don’t have any yet, we recommend the one that fits your case instead of imposing one.
What determines the result is not which one you choose, but which indicators are shown, how they are calculated and whether the person who has to decide finds what they need in two clicks. That is what we work on with you in every Business Intelligence consulting project.

Frequently asked questions about Business Intelligence consulting
What does Business Intelligence consulting involve?
Business Intelligence consulting organizes your company’s data and turns it into useful information for decision making. It locates where each piece of data is, agrees on how each indicator is calculated, connects the sources so they update on their own and builds dashboards and reports with the key indicators for each area.
What is the difference between Business Intelligence and business analytics?
Business Intelligence shows what is happening in your business: it gathers the data and presents it in dashboards and reports. Business analytics goes one step further and analyzes that data to spot patterns, room for improvement and levers for growth.
What data can be analyzed?
Sales, customers, invoicing, marketing, production, operations, training or your website activity. The data can come from your ERP, your CRM, your spreadsheets or any other source that can be connected.
Do I need my data in order before starting?
No. We can help you structure, clean and connect your data before building the reports. If it is very scattered, we start with data consulting to organize it and define a strategy.
Which tools do you work with?
We are a Microsoft partner and work mainly with Power BI, the most widely used tool. We also work with Looker, Tableau, Qlik and Metabase, and with the tools your company already uses. To prepare the data we use databases, ETL processes and integrations adapted to each project. You can read more on our Power BI consultant page.
Do the dashboards update automatically?
Yes. We set up automatic updates so you always work with up-to-date information, without having to export and paste data every month.
What is data governance and why does it matter?
Data governance defines who is responsible for each piece of data, how each indicator is calculated and which quality and access rules apply. Without it, each department ends up with its own version of the figures. You can read more on our data governance page.
Can you connect Power BI to our ERP and our CRM?
Yes. The ERP and the CRM are usually the main sources of a Business Intelligence project. We connect Power BI to ERPs such as Odoo or Microsoft Dynamics 365, which we also implement, and to your CRM, so the data reaches the dashboards on its own and up to date. And if your systems also need to talk to each other, we handle it through ERP integration.
Do you train our team to use the dashboards?
Yes. When we launch the solution, we train the people who will use the dashboards so they can interpret the indicators, filter the information and create their own reports independently.
Do you take care of maintaining the reports?
Yes. We take care of maintaining the dashboards and reports: we check that the connections work, add new indicators and adapt them when your systems or the way you work change.
Do you do predictive analytics or use artificial intelligence?
Yes. Once the data is in order, we apply predictive analytics and artificial intelligence to anticipate trends, for example in sales or demand. You can read more on our business analytics and artificial intelligence consulting pages.
Do you only work with companies in Barcelona?
No. We are based in Barcelona and work with companies across Spain. Tell us what data you have and what you would like to decide better, and we will see how a Business Intelligence project fits your company.
