Saloid's Business Intelligence & Strategy practice builds KPI frameworks, semantic layers, and reporting in Power BI and Looker Studio that create a single source of truth — privacy-first for DSGVO.

Dashboards your CEO actually reads.

Align your metrics

The problem

Dashboards exist but decisions don't improve. You have 47 reports and nobody agrees on what "revenue" means. Leadership asks for a number and gets it three days later in a PDF.

Symptoms

  • Finance, sales, and ops each have their own version of "revenue"
  • Reports built by one person who left — nobody can update them
  • Decision-makers wait days for a number that should be instant
  • User-level tracking that probably violates DSGVO, but nobody checked
  • New dashboards keep getting built, but old ones never get retired

Our approach

01

Decision mapping

Map which decisions your business makes and which data they actually need. Most dashboards fail because nobody asked this first.

02

KPI framework

Build a hierarchy from board targets down to team inputs. Get stakeholders to agree on definitions before a single dashboard is built.

03

Dashboard build

Power BI or Looker Studio — based on your stack, not our preference. Row-level security, semantic layer, self-serve from day one.

04

Enablement

Your team can create new reports, modify existing ones, and trust the data underneath. No tickets to IT for a new chart.

Frequently asked

Power BI or Looker Studio? +
Power BI if you're in Microsoft-land, need complex DAX, or want row-level security. Looker Studio if you're on GCP/BigQuery and need lightweight dashboards. We've shipped both. We recommend based on your stack, not vendor loyalty.
How do you align KPIs across departments? +
KPI tree — a hierarchy from board targets to team inputs. Stakeholders agree before a single dashboard gets built. This is the unglamorous work that makes BI useful: getting finance, sales, and ops to agree on definitions.
Can you work with our existing setup? +
We audit first. Solid foundation → fix and extend. Messy data model → usually faster to rebuild the model and migrate reports.
