Overview
Data Analytics & Business Intelligence Consulting Services
Your team already has the data. What it doesn't have is one version of the truth. Sales says revenue is up, finance says it's flat, and somebody loses Monday morning working out why.
Agreed metrics. Checked numbers. Proposal-based pricing.
Why your reports don't agree
It's rarely a software problem. If any of these sound familiar, the fix starts long before the first chart, with a plain conversation about the decisions your team makes and the numbers behind them.
- 01
Two teams, two definitions
Two teams define "active customer" differently, so the same dashboard gives two answers.
- 02
Hours lost to stitching
Analysts spend hours each week stitching exports together instead of analysing them.
- 03
Dashboards without a purpose
Dashboards exist, but nobody can say which decision each one is meant to support.
- 04
Three versions of the funnel
Sales, marketing and operations each count the funnel their own way.
Who we are and how we help
We're Buraq, a data analytics company that helps US teams sort that out. Our data analytics consulting services cover the whole path: agreeing what your numbers mean, connecting the systems they come from, and building dashboards in Power BI, Tableau or Odoo that people actually open. We test every number before it reaches a dashboard.
Some teams want to go a step further and automate what happens after the numbers land, like alerts, follow-ups or routine reports. That's covered by our AI and automation services.
We test every number before it reaches a dashboard
What our data analytics consulting services include
Every team starts from a different place. Some have no reporting at all. Others have five dashboards that all disagree. Most projects touch at least two of these areas.
01Discovery and metric definitions
We start with questions, not tools. Which decisions do you make every week? Which numbers do you lean on? Then we sit down with sales, finance and operations and turn those numbers into KPIs, each with a written formula and a named owner. Once everyone signs off, those definitions go into the build.
02Pipelines and integration
Your data lives in a CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot, an accounting tool like QuickBooks, an ERP, and a handful of Excel or Google Sheets files. A data warehouse brings the cleaned version of all of it into one place. Snowflake and BigQuery are two common choices: Snowflake lets you scale storage and computing separately, while BigQuery is Google Cloud's serverless option. We connect your sources, clean what needs cleaning, and set up ETL or ELT jobs that refresh on a schedule. Power BI and Tableau then read straight from the warehouse, so every dashboard draws on the same data. If a source changes or breaks, you'll hear about it before your dashboard goes wrong.
03Dashboards and business intelligence
We build dashboards around the decisions your team makes, so each page answers one question. Our business intelligence consulting covers the data model underneath and the reports on top, in Power BI, Tableau or Odoo. We'll help you choose the right one if you haven't picked yet.
04Data quality and governance
A good dashboard is worthless if nobody trusts it. We reconcile every figure against your source records, use row-level security so each person sees only what their role allows, and document how each number is calculated. When someone asks "where does this come from?", the answer is written down.
05Power BI consulting services
Power BI is Microsoft's BI tool, and it's a strong fit if your team already lives in Microsoft 365 and wants something people can pick up quickly. You build in Power BI Desktop, share through the Power BI service in the cloud, and check numbers on the mobile app. We design the data model so reports stay fast and consistent as your data grows, lay out each report page around one decision, schedule refreshes (including data pulled from Odoo and other systems) and walk your team through the result so you're not calling us for every small change. Under the hood, Power Query prepares your data and DAX, short for Data Analysis Expressions, handles the measures. If your team is moving to Microsoft Fabric, which brings Power BI and data storage together on one platform, we can build on that too. Not sure whether Power BI is the right call? We can load a sample of your data into both Power BI and Tableau and show you the two side by side.
06Tableau consulting services
Tableau, which Salesforce owns, shines when you want to explore your data freely and build highly visual, interactive dashboards. We prepare data with Tableau Prep and publish to Tableau Cloud, which Tableau hosts, or Tableau Server, which you host yourself. Our work covers data preparation, interactive dashboards with filters and drill-downs, performance tuning for slow workbooks, and documentation plus a hands-on session with your team.
07Odoo reporting and dashboards
Odoo is a modular ERP that covers sales, inventory, accounting and more, so it holds a lot of useful data. For day-to-day questions, Odoo's own reporting is often enough, and we set up the views, filters and custom reports your team needs. When you need to combine Odoo with other sources, or build richer dashboards, we connect it to Power BI or Tableau. Odoo stores its data in PostgreSQL, an open-source database we can query with SQL, so the figures stay live. That way your Odoo orders can sit next to marketing spend, support tickets or anything else you track.
08Data analytics managed services
A dashboard isn't a one-off job. Sources change, people ask for new reports, and refreshes occasionally fail. If you'd rather not handle that yourself, our data analytics managed services keep it running for a monthly fee. Each month we watch your data refreshes and fix them when they break, update existing reports as your business changes, build new reports in agreed blocks of work, and keep documentation and user access up to date. Before we start, we write down who is responsible for what, so you always know who to call.
Where analytics helps most
Good reporting pays off in any business, but we see the biggest difference in a few places.
Track MRR (monthly recurring revenue), churn and product usage in one Power BI dashboard instead of stitching spreadsheets together by hand.
Watch on-time delivery rate, routes and costs across several systems in a single Tableau view.
Get accurate, auditable numbers and clean reconciliation, meaning every reported figure matches its source record, for the team and for regulators.
Once your numbers are trusted, alerts, follow-ups and scheduled reports can run on their own. See how our AI and automation services pick up where reporting ends.
Illustrative workflows, not reported client projects. Scope depends on your systems and requirements.

How a data analytics project works
Every project is different, but most follow the same five steps.
- 01
Map decisions and sources
We list the decisions you need to make and find where the data behind them lives.
- 02
Agree on definitions
Your team signs off on what each metric means before we build anything.
- 03
Build the pipelines
We connect your systems, clean the data and schedule the refreshes.
- 04
Build dashboards in small pieces
You see working screens early and tell us what to change while it's cheap to change.
- 05
Check and hand over
We reconcile every figure with your source records, then train your team and hand over the documentation.
Ways to work with us
We don't hand out a price before we understand the work, because two analytics projects can look similar and cost very differently. What moves the number: how many data sources you have, how many dashboards you need, the state of your data, how many users and access rules are involved, and whether you want ongoing support. After a short scoping call, we send a written proposal with the scope and the price.

Frequently asked questions
How much do data analytics consulting services cost?
It depends on how many data sources you have, how many dashboards you need, and how clean your data is today. We scope the work on a short call and send a written proposal with a fixed scope and price. The engagement options above show what moves the number.
What does a business intelligence consultant actually do?
A BI consultant helps you turn scattered data into reports your team can trust. That means agreeing on metrics, connecting your systems, building dashboards and checking that the numbers match your source records. Good ones also teach your team to maintain the work.
Should we choose Power BI or Tableau?
If your team uses Microsoft 365 and wants quick adoption, Power BI is usually the easier fit. If you want deeper visual exploration, Tableau often wins. The honest answer depends on your data and your people, so we're happy to test both with a sample of your own.
Is Tableau still worth using in 2026?
Yes, for many teams. It remains a capable tool for interactive analysis and visual dashboards. Whether it's right for you comes down to budget, skills in-house and what you already use.
Can you combine data from several systems?
Yes. That's one of the most common reasons people call us. We connect CRMs, accounting tools, ERPs like Odoo, spreadsheets and SQL databases, then bring them together in one model.
How do you check that the numbers are right?
Before handover, we reconcile every key figure against your source records. If a dashboard says you made $120,000 last month, we confirm that matches the books. We also document how each metric is calculated.
Can you build reports from our Odoo data?
Yes. We can build reports inside Odoo, or connect Odoo to Power BI or Tableau when you need to combine it with other data.
What happens after the dashboards go live?
You can run them yourselves with the documentation and training we provide. If you'd prefer help, our managed analytics plan covers monitoring, updates and new reports each month.
Is predictive analytics included?
Prediction is a separate scope decision. It needs suitable historical data, an evaluation method and a useful decision context; a dashboard project does not automatically justify machine learning.
How is delivery coordinated with a US team?
Discovery identifies stakeholder time zones, review owners and the required handover between teams. Meeting overlap, release windows and support coverage are agreed in the proposal rather than assumed from the country page.
