Business Analytics
LIDD’s Business Analytics practice builds the data foundation your business needs — one trusted source, agreed definitions, and reporting every department can rely on.
How We Help
We bring your business data together into one reliable, standardized dataset that supports accurate reporting, analytics, automation and AI. Whether you need a single Power BI dashboard connected to your existing data, or a full data architecture built from the ground up, we scope the engagement to where your business actually is — and build the foundation that gets you to where it needs to go.
Analytics Platform
Real-time dashboards and KPI reporting built around how your businesses actually operates.
Automation & Integration
Your accounting software, ERP, WMS, and CRM connected and reporting automatically.
Advisory Services
CPA-level guidance to set targets, optimize processes, and translate data into execution.
What makes us unique?
At LIDD, our team combines deep supply chain expertise with CPA-level financial rigor. We understand how warehouse operations translate into financial outcomes — from inventory valuation and cost of goods sold to working capital and margin performance.
This means the data models we build don’t just reflect operational activity. They align with how finance actually measures performance and how leadership makes decisions.
Supply Chain Domain Expertise
We know your KPIs before you tell us.
We know what “on-time in-full,” “fill rate,” and “inventory turns” mean operationally — not just technically. We’ve built data models for these KPIs for over 1000+ clients. You’re starting at 80%, not zero.
Leverage Industry Best Practices
We design the data model around your financial reporting needs.
We bring a CPA perspective that most data consultants don’t have. We know what COGS, accruals, and month-end close require. We don’t start with a whiteboard of requirements — we start with your business model, your competitive pressures, and the decisions your leadership needs to make faster.
Pre-Built Connectors
We are practitioners who connect whatever stack you’re running into one unified, trusted foundation.
We’ve already built the integrations for leading ERP and WMS solutions. That means faster time-to-value and less risk — because the hard part of each connection has already been battle-tested.
Ongoing Support
We stick around.
LIDD experts guide your employees through a simple yet thorough onboarding process for a friction-less Go Live. Your business changes. Your data model should too. Monthly support means your dashboards evolve with your business — not just on implementation day. And when AI agents become your next frontier, your data is ready.
Operational Definitions as IP
We facilitate the hard conversation and make it stick.
What counts as “on-time”? What’s the definition of a shipped order? We run the workshops, align your stakeholders, and bake the agreed answers into the semantic model so they never have to be debated again. LIDD defines the rule — once — so every system reports the same answer. This is where most analytics projects fail. It’s where we start.
Agile Methodology
We deliver value quickly by building your data foundation in focused phases.
Rather than attempting to design the entire analytics platform upfront, we start with the most important operational and financial metrics, validate them with your teams, and expand from there. Each phase strengthens the data model while adding new systems, KPIs, and reporting — allowing the platform to evolve alongside your business.
One source of truth. Every team. Every system.
We identify what your business needs to measure, connect the systems that hold that data, and build the reporting your team works from every day.
-
Centralized Data Platforms
All systems — ERP, WMS, CRM, marketing — feed into one place.
-
Agreed Definitions
Metrics like utilization rate and cost of goods sold are pre-calculated and standardized so everyone uses the same logic.
-
Consistent Reporting
Every department works from the same trusted numbers. No more spreadsheet debates.
-
AI & BI Ready
Clean, validated data enables advanced analytics, automation, and AI agents.
Built on Microsoft Fabric & OneLake
We don’t just install tools — we define, validate, and build your data foundation on the best enterprise data platform available.
Data Ingestion
We connect your external systems through automated pipelines, pulling data on a schedule or in real time, without manual exports. Your data flows in continuously, always current, from every system you run.
OneLake
Everything lands in one place. Raw data is staged, validated, cleaned, and transformed, your agreed business logic applied once, consistently, so every system reports the same answer. Bad data is caught before it ever reaches a report.
BI & AI Ready
The clean, governed warehouse that comes out the other side powers your Power BI dashboards, AI agents, ML models, and automated alerts — all drawing from the same trusted source.
Our Approach
Requirements Gathering
We interview key stakeholders to understand your goals, current reports, and the KPIs that matter most to your business.
Data Exploration
We map your current system architecture, connect to your databases, and build an initial exploratory data warehouse.
Build Infrastructure
We construct the Microsoft Fabric data lake, data pipelines, and the transformation logic that powers your reporting.
Data Validation & Delivery
We populate and validate Power BI dashboards with your stakeholders, adjusting until the numbers are trusted across the org.
Your Data Foundation Is the Prerequisite for AI
Getting value from AI isn’t about the tools, it’s about the data behind them.
- Clean, connected data is the prerequisite for AI to work on your actual business
- Most AI projects fail not because of the technology but because the data wasn’t ready
- A governed data foundation means your AI tools work from the same trusted source as your dashboards and your finance team
From data science workflows and ML models to Power BI datasets and dashboards, we unify the entire ecosystem so AI agents and business intelligence deliver reliable, connected insights.
