How to Define Your ICP: The 3 Questions That Change Everything
Most B2B companies define their ICP too broadly. Here is the framework that produces precision specific enough to be actionable.
Read article →Unified dashboards, data warehouse builds and automated reporting that replace spreadsheet chaos with reliable intelligence. Leadership gets clear metrics. Teams stop arguing about whose numbers are right.
Koldconvert Data Analytics and BI connects your CRM, marketing platforms, product database and billing system into a unified data warehouse. We model your metrics using dbt so that ARR, CAC, LTV, churn and pipeline coverage mean the same thing across every dashboard. Leadership stops making decisions based on last week's spreadsheet export and starts operating from live, trusted data every day.
Business intelligence (BI) is the set of technologies, data processes and visualisation tools that transform raw operational data into consistent, reliable metrics that leadership and teams can act on. A BI system connects to all data sources across a business, standardises how metrics are calculated, stores the transformed data in a central warehouse and presents it in role-specific dashboards. The goal of BI is to eliminate the reporting lag, metric disagreements and manual data work that slow down decision-making in growing companies, replacing ad-hoc spreadsheet analysis with live, trusted intelligence available to every decision-maker without requiring technical skills to access it.
Centralised data warehouse in BigQuery or Snowflake connecting CRM, marketing, product and billing data. Built on dbt models with documented metric definitions agreed across the business.
Leadership-level dashboards covering MRR, ARR, churn, pipeline coverage, CAC, LTV and CAC payback. Built for the board meeting and the Monday morning review, not the data team.
Multi-touch attribution models connecting marketing spend to pipeline generated and revenue closed. Understand which channels produce the highest-quality pipeline, not just the most leads.
Scheduled reports delivered to Slack, email or your CRM automatically. No one needs to pull a report again. Alerts trigger when metrics cross thresholds that require attention.
Audit all existing data sources, data quality issues, current reporting gaps and the key decisions leadership needs to make faster with better data.
Design data models using dbt that define consistent metrics, dimensions and relationships across all source systems. Every metric definition is documented and agreed.
Build the data warehouse in BigQuery or Snowflake. Connect source systems via Fivetran or Stitch. Transform raw data into clean, consistent tables for reporting.
Build role-specific dashboards in Looker Studio, Tableau or Power BI. Train the team. Set up automated alerts and scheduled reports for key metric thresholds.
The Koldconvert Revenue Intelligence Framework starts from the premise that most BI projects fail because they are built for data teams rather than decision-makers. We begin every engagement by identifying the five to ten decisions that leadership needs to make faster and better. Every data model, every metric definition and every dashboard is designed to answer those specific questions. We use dbt as the transformation layer so that metric logic is version-controlled, testable and auditable rather than buried in dashboard SQL that no one can find or modify. The result is a system that grows with the company: when a new data source appears, it gets modelled, tested and added to existing dashboards rather than triggering a rebuild.
The most common BI mistake we see is building dashboards before defining metrics. Companies stand up Looker or Power BI, connect it to their CRM and call it a BI system. Then in the first board meeting, someone asks what MRR means in the context of multi-year contracts with variable usage and the entire reporting framework breaks down. We define metrics before we build dashboards. What does a customer mean? What counts as churn? How do we handle upgrades and downgrades in NRR? These definitions are documented, agreed across finance, sales and product, and then encoded in dbt models that every dashboard draws from. That is what a single source of truth actually means.
Koldconvert Revenue Operations Team
MRR, ARR, churn, NRR, CAC payback and cohort retention dashboards for subscription businesses. SaaS BI connects billing, CRM and product usage data to give a complete picture of revenue health and growth efficiency.
Transaction volume, AUM growth, activation rates and regulatory reporting dashboards. Fintech BI must handle high data volumes with strict audit trails and compliance-ready metric definitions.
Revenue attribution, customer LTV, repeat purchase rate and inventory performance dashboards. Ecommerce BI connects Shopify or WooCommerce with Google Ads, Meta and email to show true blended CAC and channel ROAS.
Patient outcome reporting, capacity utilisation, referral source analysis and operational performance dashboards. Healthcare BI is built with data governance and access controls that meet regulatory requirements.
Utilisation rate, project profitability, client retention and pipeline dashboards for consultancies, agencies and law firms. BI for professional services connects time-tracking, billing and CRM data into a single profitability view.
GMV, take rate, buyer and seller cohort analysis and supply-demand balance dashboards for two-sided marketplace businesses. Marketplace BI must track both sides of the network simultaneously.
Delivery performance, route efficiency, warehouse utilisation and carrier cost dashboards. Logistics BI integrates TMS, WMS and carrier data to give operations leaders real-time visibility into the supply chain.
Enrolment conversion, course completion, learner retention and revenue per cohort dashboards. EdTech BI connects learning management systems with billing and marketing to show the full learner journey from acquisition to completion.
Production output, defect rates, equipment utilisation and supply chain performance dashboards. Manufacturing BI integrates ERP and IoT sensor data to give plant managers and operations directors a live operational picture.
Energy production monitoring, carbon accounting, grid performance and project ROI dashboards. CleanTech BI handles time-series sensor data at scale and produces the audit-ready reporting that regulators and investors require.
| Factor | Koldconvert BI | Spreadsheet Reporting |
|---|---|---|
| Data freshness | Live or near-real-time from source systems | As old as the last manual export |
| Metric consistency | Single definition encoded in dbt, used everywhere | Finance, sales and marketing have different formulas |
| Reporting overhead | Zero manual work once built | Multiple hours per week of manual data pulling |
| Scalability | Handles billions of rows without slowing down | Breaks at scale, slow pivot tables, version chaos |
| Accessibility | Any stakeholder sees live data via a browser link | Must email the file, risk of sharing wrong version |
| Error risk | dbt tests catch data quality issues automatically | Formula errors discovered in board meetings |
Business intelligence (BI) is the technology, processes and tools that collect, integrate and visualise business data to support better decision-making. BI systems connect to operational data sources, transform raw data into consistent metrics and present it in dashboards that leadership and teams can use daily without needing to query databases manually.
A data warehouse is a centralised repository that consolidates data from multiple source systems — CRM, marketing platforms, product databases, billing systems — into a single structured environment optimised for reporting and analysis. Most growing B2B companies need one once they have three or more data sources that need to be combined for reporting.
A basic BI dashboard connecting 2-3 data sources can be delivered in 2-4 weeks. A full data warehouse build with dbt models and multiple departmental dashboards typically takes 6-12 weeks depending on data complexity, source system quality and the number of metrics required.
We use Looker Studio, Tableau and Power BI for dashboarding, dbt for data modelling, BigQuery and Snowflake for warehousing and Fivetran or Stitch for ETL. We recommend the right stack based on your existing infrastructure and team's technical capability.
Yes. We audit your existing stack first, then extend or rebuild components where needed. We work with most major cloud data platforms and can model within your existing warehouse if you already have one.
A focused engagement that audits your current data landscape, identifies the biggest reporting gaps and produces a prioritised roadmap for building your BI infrastructure. The starting point before a full build.
End-to-end build of your data warehouse, dbt models and dashboards. Covers data source connection, metric definition, warehouse build and dashboard delivery across executive, sales, marketing and customer success views.
Ongoing support for your data infrastructure: new metrics, new data sources, dashboard updates and data quality monitoring. Suited for companies that want a fractional data team on retainer rather than a full-time hire.
Book a call. We will audit your current data landscape and design the right BI infrastructure for your stage and stack.
