Senior Data Architecture. Without the full-time overhead.
We help mid-market companies and operators eliminate fragile spreadsheets, connect siloed business systems, and build scalable data pipelines that drive real EBITDA decisions. Senior engineering, transparent execution, and bottom-line results that are not rocket science.
The Friction
The "Data Rich, Insight Poor" Trap
Most companies don't suffer from a lack of data; they suffer from fractured systems and fragile reporting.
Data Silos
ERP, Salesforce, QuickBooks, warehouse terminals, GA4. None of them communicate seamlessly. Your team wastes hours manually exporting and stitching together CSVs.
Fragile Reporting
Your core decision dashboard is an over-engineered spreadsheet that breaks if a column moves. Executive meetings stall because departments disagree on whose numbers are right.
The Hiring Trap
A full-time Data Architect commands $180k+ plus equity, recruiting fees, and months of onboarding. You don't need permanent headcount; you need targeted senior expertise that delivers immediate ROI.
Proven Outcomes
Measurable Impact, Not Just Code
Here is what happens when senior architecture meets targeted execution:
Engineered custom hardware scanner middleware interfacing directly with core ERP (Subiekt GT/Nexo). Slashed stock reconciliation cycles from 18 hours down to 4 minutes, virtually eliminating shipment errors.
Audited and unified redundant platform infrastructure across two acquired entities. Migrated fragmented ETL jobs into a centralized automated warehouse in 30 days, canceling duplicative vendors.
Replaced weekend manual spreadsheet marathons with an automated single source of truth. Executive leadership and board members now receive real-time churn, pipeline, and cash flow projections on demand.
