Data Foundations
Mid-market · Built on AntviaUse case, not a client story

Get every system into one place, without a data team.

Your business runs on a dozen systems: ERP, CRM, Tally, a web shop, a support desk and a pile of spreadsheets. None of them talk to each other, so every report starts with someone exporting and pasting. We land every source in one governed store, in your own cloud, in weeks.

The problem

Twelve systems, and no single answer.

Each system was bought to solve one problem, and it does. But the questions you actually ask cut across them. Which customers are profitable? What is in stock against what is on order? To answer, someone exports from four places, pastes into a spreadsheet and hopes the columns line up.

What was broken
  • Each report is built from its own exports, so two reports on the same topic rarely match.
  • One or two people know how the spreadsheets fit together. When they are away, the reports stop.
  • Customer, product and supplier codes differ between systems, so nothing joins cleanly.
  • Personal data is copied into files on laptops and shared by email.
  • Hiring a data team to fix it is slow and expensive for a business your size.
You might be here if
  • Your month starts with a round of exports from every system.
  • You have asked for a report and been told it takes a week.
  • You have more spreadsheets than systems.
  • You have been quoted a data warehouse project that needs a team to run.

Why it mattered. Every decision waits on the slowest export, and every number can be argued with. The cost grows with every system you add.

The approach

Land everything once. Then build on it.

We start with the questions you need answered, not the systems you own. In Week 1 we list every source, who uses it and what it feeds. Then we connect each one to Antvia, land it raw, clean and match it, mask personal data, and publish the tables your reports need. Your people decide what a customer or an order means. We build it.

The solution

One governed store, in your own cloud.

What we build
  • A connection to every system you use. Antvia connects to more than 300 sources, so most need no custom code.
  • A bronze layer that keeps every record as it arrived, so you can always trace a number back.
  • A silver layer that cleans, matches codes across systems and masks personal data before anyone reads it.
  • Gold tables for the questions you named in Week 1: sales, stock, margin, customers.
  • Reports on top of the gold tables, so everyone reads from the same place.
  • A short run book, so your own people can add a source or a report without us.
It runs in your own cloud account on open formats. The data is yours, and you can leave with it at any time.
How it would runSources go live one by one during the build, most-used first. Operate is open-ended and drawn at one week only to fit.
The impact

What we would measure.

From point-to-point to one storeEach line is a manual export or a fragile link between systems.
