See what matters.
Decide what's next.

You already have the data. What you don't have is the clarity to act on it. Reports pile up, meetings stall, decisions wait. Vidai turns that noise into the few choices that actually move your business.

The problem

You've probably seen this story before.

Most BI projects don't fail because the technology isn't there. They fail because the way the work is set up makes failure almost inevitable. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not the problem.

Continuity

The team keeps changing

A consultant builds half the model and then leaves. The next person inherits scattered notes and re-explains the business from zero. Knowledge resets every quarter, and you pay to learn the same lessons twice.

Timelines

The timeline is never the timeline

"Two months" becomes six. Scope creeps, dependencies stall, and the project misses the deadline the decision depended on.

Context

The data is right. The context isn't.

Technical work happens in isolation from the people who use the numbers. The dashboard ships, leadership reads it once, and the conversation stays exactly where it was.

Aftercare

One delivery, then silence

The reports get handed over. Then questions come up, no one answers them, and the work slowly drifts away from the business it was built for.

Our approach

Vidai is built around the opposite of all of this. One senior partner from first call to final outcome. Honest timelines. Business and technical work in the same conversation. We stay for the outcome, not just the dashboard.

See how we work
Principles

Four principles that shape every engagement.

We don't just build dashboards. We help you make better decisions. Every project is business first, built for scale, partnered for the long term, and protected from needless complexity.

Business first

We focus on solving real business problems, not just building reports. Every solution we ship has to improve a decision, remove an inefficiency, or unlock measurable profitability.

Reliable & scalable

Clean, automated reporting ecosystems built on Power BI, SQL, Python, and cloud-native platforms, built to grow with you.

Long-term partnership

A strategic partner, not a one-time freelancer. We stay to optimise, maintain, and plan the next phase of growth.

Professional simplicity

Complex data made effortless to read. Intuitive dashboards, clear KPIs, and actionable insight, whether you're in leadership or running daily operations.

Our services

Every layer of your BI, under one roof.

From raw operational data to executive decision frameworks. We cover every layer of a modern business intelligence practice. One team, one accountable partner, no hand-offs.

BI strategy & roadmap

You probably already know which numbers matter most. We help you stop guessing and put a real structure around them. Together we map where your data lives, what is slowing decisions down, and what to build first so reporting starts paying back this quarter, not next year.

For your technical team
BI auditKPI designRoadmapGovernance
  • Diagnostic deck: current state, gaps, and prioritised opportunities.
  • KPI architecture: the few metrics each role actually needs.
  • Phased delivery roadmap: what to build, when, and why.

Power BI dashboards

Reports your leadership team actually reads in under a minute and trusts as the single source of truth. Operational views built for the people running the work, not for show. Designed around the decision you are trying to make, not the data that happens to be available.

For your technical team
Power BIDAXRow-level securityUX design
  • Executive scorecards: the board view, refreshed automatically.
  • Operational dashboards: built for the people running the work.
  • Self-service report packs: with guardrails to keep them trustworthy.

SQL & data engineering

Most reporting problems are actually data problems. We build the pipelines, models, and quality checks that make every number defensible. The conversation finally stops being about whose numbers are right and starts being about what to do next.

For your technical team
SQLPythonAzureSnowflakedbt
  • Source-to-warehouse pipelines: automated, monitored, defensible.
  • Dimensional data models: star/snowflake schemas your analysts can extend.
  • Data quality framework: tests, alerts, and lineage you can trust.

Decision intelligence

The layer above the dashboard. When you need to model a scenario, stress-test a target, or understand which lever actually moves the result, this is the work. Driver trees, what-if scenarios, and decision frameworks for the questions that matter most to leadership.

For your technical team
Scenario modellingDriver analysisForecastingRisk signals
  • Driver trees: how every KPI connects to a real lever.
  • Scenario workbooks: what changes if we change x.
  • Executive decision frameworks: structured questions, structured answers.

Partnership & enablement

After the build, we stay. Hands-on workshops with your team so the work does not break the moment we hand it over. Quarterly check-ins to refine, extend, and answer the next set of questions. You own the work. We own the relationship.

For your technical team
TrainingDocumentationRetainerContinuous optimisation
  • Team workshops: hands-on enablement so the work survives us.
  • Full handover documentation: naming, lineage, and runbooks.
  • Quarterly partnership retainer: optimisation, advice, and the next chapter.
Decisions,
not dashboards.

A dashboard tells you what happened. A decision changes what happens next. Vidai exists to deliver the second.

Case studies

Four use cases. One operating model.

Below are illustrative case studies across the four domains where Vidai delivers the most value: commercial growth, operational performance, executive decision-making, and workforce productivity.

Commercial

Revenue growth analytics

When revenue growth plateaus, the question is rarely what the numbers show. It's where leadership should act. We combined sales, customer, and product profitability data to surface the hidden levers behind underperformance.

What if sales data could show where your next growth opportunity is hiding?
Read the full case study
  • The top 10 accounts generated 57% of total revenue, exposing a concentration risk invisible in standard sales reporting.
  • Flagged 3 top accounts, worth €1.1M, whose order frequency had declined for two consecutive quarters, early enough to intervene.
  • 2 of the 5 highest-volume products sold below 15% margin, while standard reports ranked them as top performers.
  • Lifting net revenue retention from 112% to 115% was worth more than the entire new-business pipeline for the year.
Operations

Operational efficiency analytics

Operational issues build gradually: longer cycle times, uneven delivery, inconsistent throughput. We translated raw process data into a diagnostic view that showed exactly where flow was being lost in the chain.

What if operational data could show exactly where efficiency is being lost?
Read the full case study
  • Pinpointed the approval stage as the binding bottleneck, 9.4 days against a 2.9-day median for all other stages, 3.2× slower.
  • 25% of completed tasks (40 of 157) exceeded the delivery target, concentrated in a long tail the averages had hidden.
  • 3 of 6 teams ran at 118–132% of capacity while 2 ran below 90%, making the case for redistribution over hiring.
  • Identified a realistic 38% cycle-time reduction achievable with existing staff.
Leadership

Executive decision intelligence

Leadership doesn't lack data. They lack the structured view that turns data into decisions. We consolidated financial, operational, and performance data into a single executive framework: drivers, deviations, and forward-looking scenarios.

What if leadership could not only see what's happening, but instantly understand what it means for every decision ahead?
Read the full case study
  • Reduced the planning discussion to the 5 drivers that explained 78% of result variance, pricing and retention drove the largest swings.
  • Surfaced operational warning signals roughly 6 weeks before they appeared in the financial statements.
  • Replaced single-point targets with a forecast range, 91% accuracy on rolling four-quarter backtests.
  • Attributed the YTD result precisely: +12 pricing, +8 volume, −6 churn, −4 mix, ending the debate over what drove performance.
Workforce

Workforce productivity & value

Output volume is not the same as value created. We mapped time allocation, output, and task structure to redefine productivity as value efficiency, not activity volume.

What if you could see not just how much people work, but how much value their work actually creates?
Read the full case study
  • 42% of total working hours went to admin and repetitive tasks that generated almost no business value.
  • High-impact work was concentrated in just 23% of hours, protecting it mattered more than adding headcount.
  • Quantified roughly 12 reclaimable hours per employee per week through automation, the equivalent of one extra working day.
  • Exposed a near 2× productivity gap between the strongest and weakest teams doing comparable work (92 vs 49).
Our company

A modern BI practice built for real outcomes.

We're a business intelligence consultancy with one job: help our clients get more out of their data. Less reporting for the sake of it, more decisions actually made.

Vidai is run by independent practitioners, not a delivery factory. We've spent five years on BI projects and know exactly where they break: when knowledge keeps changing hands, when business context never reaches the data team, when the project finishes the day the dashboard ships.

We learned that BI consultancy works when business expertise and technical execution sit in the same conversation. So we built Vidai around that idea. You start with one senior partner. You end with the same person. No project managers in between, no message lost in translation. We are here for the outcome you actually want, not the dashboard count.

Four phases. One partnership.

  1. Discover
    Audit your data landscape, decision needs, and the questions your team can't currently answer. Output: a candid diagnostic.
  2. Design
    Architect the data model, KPI framework, and dashboard structure that fits your business model, not a template.
  3. Deliver
    Build the pipelines, dashboards, and documentation in tight cycles. Weekly demos, working software, no surprises.
  4. Sustain
    Train your team, hand over fully, then stay on as a quarterly strategic partner, for the next decision, not just the next dashboard.
