An investor provides capital to fund many small businesses and wants regular reports and transparency over business performance which the small business cant easiy provide due to their limited administration resources
Each business operates a cloud based system specific to that business and reports are provided adhoc and in a variety of formats
The cost of upskilling and standardising the reporting across unrelated systems is outside the skills and resources of the available staff
The Problem
There are a number of different popular cloud based systems that provide limited user generated reports for business reporting and management
The business owner desires information that can not be easily provided in a timely and accurate way
Consider additional data sources not considered by the business owner
Phone system integration to monitor telephone activity (especially related to sales staff)
Social Media analytics
The Solution
Integrate the existing Cloud based systems to the Reporting engine
Publish the data into visualisations customised to deliver the clients requirements for each business
Make available user logins and mobile app for viewing and monitoring
Create and automate alerts, notifications, reports and visualiation loops
The Costs (all in AUD) (indicative as at 2023 and excluding GST)
The data warehouse cost (if required) is dependent upon the size of the data being stored but ranges from $30 pcm
The data visualisation cost is dependant on the number of visualisations required but ranges from $200 pcm (small) to $500 pcm (large)
The other cost is the development time for defining the end solution
This is generally a once off up front fee and can range from $750 to $5000 depending on the number and complexity of the visualisations required
As the business becomes confident in the data, expect to request more visualisations and redefine existing ones
Generally, minor infrequent changes would be included in the monthly costs quoted above
Major changes or enhancements would be quoted but expect them to be in line with the one off development rates described above
What DOES NOT affect costs
Initial on site meet and greet is obligation free and at no cost
Number of users, you can have as many as you need at no additional cost
Initial training and onboarding is included (limited to staff that will champion the solution)
One on site visit per year to review the solution and results are translating to benefits (i.e. the data is being used proactively)
