Data Analytics & BI in Manchester

Why Manchester businesses work with us

Calls in UK hours (GMT/BST) and written weekly reporting, so you always know what was done and what it produced

One team running marketing, automation and software, instead of several suppliers who don't talk to each other

Reporting and invoicing in GBP, with London-level thinking at a price that suits Manchester budgets

Making decisions on real numbers, not guesswork

Many businesses collect data, sales, website traffic, ad performance, customer records, without ever turning it into something a decision can be based on. Data analytics and business intelligence work closes that gap: building dashboards and reports that show what is actually happening.

We build reporting around the decisions you actually need to make, not a generic dashboard with every possible metric on it.

What's included

Data audit

Understanding what data you already have and where the gaps are.

Training

Making sure your team can actually read and act on the dashboards.

Forecasting and trend analysis

Using historical data to inform future planning.

Dashboard development

Clear, focused dashboards built around decisions, not metric overload.

Cross-platform data integration

Combining data from ads, website, sales and CRM into one view.

Reporting automation

Reports that update automatically instead of being built by hand every week.

Doing business in Manchester

Greater Manchester is home to around 2.9 million people across ten boroughs, and it is one of the UK's largest economies outside London. Spinningfields is the city's financial and legal district, MediaCityUK in Salford Quays hosts the BBC and ITV, the Northern Quarter and Ancoats are packed with digital agencies, startups and independent retailers, and the Oxford Road corridor links the universities, hospitals and Manchester Science Park. Manchester is also one of the UK's e-commerce capitals, home to fast-growing online retailers such as Boohoo and THG, and its student population is one of the largest in Europe. Businesses here tend to be practical, value-driven and open to testing new ideas, and we plan engagements with that in mind.

We work with Manchester businesses remotely from Islamabad, which is four to five hours ahead of the UK, so our working day overlaps your morning and early afternoon. Calls are scheduled in UK hours, reporting and invoicing are in GBP, and there is no Manchester office overhead built into our fees.

Data Analytics & Business Intelligence rules in the UK

Websites and apps must handle personal data under UK GDPR and cookies under PECR, and public-sector sites must also meet accessibility regulations.

What's different about Data Analytics & Business Intelligence in the UK

UK websites need to be fast, accessible and clear about cookies and personal data.

  • WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility built in
  • Payments through Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless or Worldpay, with VAT handled
  • Cookie consent that meets UK GDPR and PECR

Dashboards built for decisions, not decoration

A dashboard nobody checks is wasted work. We start every project by asking what decision the data needs to support, and build backward from there, so what gets built actually gets used.

IT and security for Manchester businesses

Manchester is one of the UK's leading cyber security clusters, and local firms increasingly face security questions from clients and partners. For Data Analytics & Business Intelligence, we help you meet recognised UK standards such as Cyber Essentials, document what you have in place, and keep systems monitored and patched without adding a full-time hire.

Who we work with in Manchester

  • Professional services firms: Protecting confidential client data in Spinningfields and beyond.
  • E-commerce businesses: Keeping stores, payments and customer data secure.
  • Manufacturers and SMEs: Reliable IT and cloud setups without an in-house team.

Reaching South Asian audiences in Manchester

Greater Manchester has large South Asian communities, including in Longsight, Rusholme, Cheetham Hill and Oldham, and Rusholme's Curry Mile is known across the UK. Our team works in English and Urdu, which helps when campaigns, landing pages or customer conversations need to reach Urdu-speaking audiences alongside the wider Manchester market.
