Which BI tool do you build in?

Power BI is our primary platform. Executive dashboards, KPI tracking and self-service reporting are all built there.

How is data analytics different from business intelligence?

The terms overlap. Business intelligence usually means the tools and dashboards that report on performance; data analytics is the broader work of defining KPIs, analyzing trends and explaining why the numbers moved. We do both, with Power BI as the main delivery tool.

Can you fix or rebuild our existing Power BI reports?

Yes. Slow, cluttered or untrusted Power BI reports are a common starting point. We review the data model, measures and layout, then either fix what is there or rebuild it around the decisions the report is meant to support.

Do we need a data warehouse before you can build anything?

Not necessarily. Plenty of reporting can be built on what you already have. If the underlying data needs cleaning up first, that is what our data engineering work is for.

Do you provide support after the dashboards launch?

Yes. Ongoing support covers new reports and KPIs, refresh monitoring, performance tuning and training for new users. It is optional, and everything is documented so your team can run it alone if you prefer.

What does the free consultation cover?

We talk through the decisions you’re trying to make, the data you have and where reporting falls short today. You leave with a clear view of whether analytics can help and what a sensible first step looks like, with no obligation.

OUR CORE STRENGTH

Data Analytics & Power BI Consulting

This is what most people actually mean when they say “we need better data”: the dashboards, KPIs and reports that turn a warehouse full of tables into a number a room full of people can act on, without a side debate about whose spreadsheet is right.

OVERVIEW

What is data analytics consulting?

Data analytics consulting helps a business turn the data it already collects into reporting people use to make decisions. In practice that means agreeing on the KPIs that matter, building dashboards that track them, and making sure the numbers behind those dashboards are right.

Most companies we speak to aren’t short of data. They’re short of agreement. Sales has one revenue figure, finance has another, and the leadership meeting spends twenty minutes on whose spreadsheet to believe before anyone discusses what to do. A good analytics setup ends that debate by giving everyone the same definitions, the same source and the same view.

Stack Homme is a Power BI consultancy at heart. We design and build Power BI dashboards, executive reports and self-service analytics for teams across the US, UK and Europe, and connect them to your data through Microsoft Fabric, Azure or Databricks when the reporting needs a stronger foundation.

Signs your team needs better data analytics

Leadership meetings start with a debate about which numbers are correct.
Someone on your team spends days each month rebuilding the same report by hand in Excel.
You already pay for Power BI, but the dashboards are slow, cluttered or rarely opened.
Different departments define the same KPI in different ways.
Managers wait on an analyst every time they need a new view of the data.
You can see what happened last month, but not why it happened.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Our data analytics services

Every data analytics engagement is scoped to the problem in front of you, drawing on the capabilities below.

KPI Development
Working with your leadership team to define a focused set of KPIs, with clear formulas, owners and targets, so everyone measures success the same way.
Business Intelligence
An end-to-end BI setup, from data connections to semantic models to published reports, that turns scattered data into one shared view of the business.
Executive Dashboards
One-page views of revenue, margin, pipeline and operational health, designed for leaders who have two minutes before a meeting.
Data Visualization
Charts chosen for the question they answer, with clear labels and consistent colors, so the takeaway is obvious without a walkthrough.
Power BI Development
Power BI reports, DAX measures, data models and row-level security, built to Microsoft best practice and tuned to load quickly.
Ad-hoc Reporting
Fast answers to one-off questions, such as a pricing change, a regional dip or a campaign result, without waiting for the next reporting cycle.
Report Automation
Replacing manual spreadsheet reports with scheduled refreshes and subscriptions, so the numbers are ready before anyone asks for them.
Self-Service Analytics
Governed datasets and training that let managers filter, slice and build their own views without breaking the single source of truth.
Dashboard Design
Layouts, navigation and drill-downs planned around how your team reads the report, and tested with the people who will use it.
Performance Tracking
Targets, variances and trend lines for teams, regions and products, so under-performance shows up early enough to act on.

HOW WE WORK

How we deliver data analytics projects

Start with the decision, not the chart

We sit down with whoever actually reads the reports, not just whoever requested them, and work backward from the three or four decisions the dashboard needs to support.

Dashboards built around your numbers

That turns into Power BI dashboards and executive reporting built around your KPIs instead of a stock template, with drill-downs for the people who need detail and one clean number for the people who don’t.

Adoption, not just delivery

We walk each audience through their dashboard, fix whatever confuses them, and check that it is actually being opened after launch. A report only earns its keep if it gets used every week.

Handed off, not handcuffed

Self-service reporting your team can extend on its own, without submitting a ticket every time a filter needs to change.

WHAT YOU GET

An agreed KPI framework with definitions, owners and targets
Power BI dashboards and executive reports, published and shared
A reusable semantic model your team can build new reports on

Business intelligence usually means the tools and dashboards that report on performance; data analytics is the broader work of defining KPIs, analyzing trends and explaining why the numbers moved. We do both, with Power BI as the main delivery tool.
