‘We need to do more with data & AI’

The problem? Your data is a mess, technology is moving at lightning pace, there’s no budget, no in-house skills and no one can even articulate the return on investment - sound like your board meeting?

That’s why we createdYOUR DATA DEPARTMENT

The UK’s only fractional data department.

01

PEOPLE

A whole team of specialists - analysts, engineers, DevOps - on demand, not on payroll.

‘We don’t have the in-house skills’
02

PLATFORMS

A modern analytics stack, already built, already running, already secure, constantly updated.

‘But technology is moving so fast’
03

PROCESS

The Impact Pathway, from strategy to ROI to implementation and iteration.

‘But we can’t even articulate ROI’
Our data was everywhere, our systems disjointed and our culture around data non-existent. Datore helped us quickly make sense of our data and start making decisions based on it

Data warehouse creation

One governed home for your data. Centralised, cleaned, modelled and validated.

04

Custom dashboards

The answer, built around your operation and put where each person can use it.

05
PROJECTION

Predictive analytics

See what is coming, not only what already happened. Forecasts you can plan against.

06

Agentic analysis and the AI future

Agents that interrogate your data for you - on a governed, trusted foundation AI can actually use.

There are typically 3 ways you can approach getting to grips with data and AI

All three work. They just cost you different things.

01PROJECT BASED

Hire a consultancy

Bring in a firm to scope, build and execute an analytics project, then hand it over to you.

Day rates · fixed scope · ends on delivery
02BUILD INTERNAL CAPABILITY

Build it in-house

Hire for every role, buy the software, and build the platform and the project yourself.

Permanent headcount · licences · your risk · huge cost
03SUBSCRIPTION

Your Data Department

A department that already exists - people, platforms and process - pointed at your data.

One monthly cost · ongoing partnership

The outputs

All of your data. One foundation. Two audiences.

Two dashboards side by side. On the left the Meridian FM Services internal operations dashboard showing contract margin, agency cost, absence rate and payroll variance with a margin by site bar chart. On the right the Northgate Estates customer dashboard showing site coverage, SLA compliance, cover fill rate, open actions, an SLA performance trend and compliance status by site.

Built for a wider screen. Open it full screen to explore.
