Business Intelligence & Analytics

Data-rich is the start. Decision-rich is the goal.

LimiaData helps small and mid-sized companies turn scattered spreadsheets, reporting and systems into clear dashboards, better process insight and practical savings opportunities — adding analytics and intelligence where they help explain what changed and where to act.

The problem

Most companies do not lack data.
They lack decision context.

The information is usually already there — in finance, planning, HR, operations, marketing, databases and spreadsheets. But it is fragmented, refreshed manually or presented without enough context to support a decision.

LimiaData connects the business question to the data behind it: structure the foundation, show what changed, identify the driver and make the next action easier to see.

The goal is not a dashboard that looks good. The goal is an analytical system that gets used.

What I do

Three ways I can help

Practical BI support for companies that want clearer information, less manual reporting and more control over performance.

Dashboards

Dashboards & reporting

Clear Power BI and Excel dashboards that show what is happening, where attention is needed and which actions can improve the result.

Storytelling

Data storytelling & KPIs

Turning numbers into a clear business story: the trend, the reason behind it, the risk, and the decision that should follow.

Improvement + intelligence

Process improvement, analytics & intelligence

Using data to find inefficiency, manual work, hidden cost drivers and practical savings opportunities — and, where useful, adding monitoring, trends, alerts and interpretation so insight turns into action.

Common questions I help answer: planning effectiveness, transport usage and cost drivers, absenteeism and HR trends, sourcing and recruitment performance, KPI management, activity based costing, marketing performance and spend effectiveness, helpdesk insights, workload monitoring, forecasting and process improvement opportunities.

How it works

How a project works

Discovery

We start with the business question and the process behind it. What decision is difficult today? Where do you lose time, money or control?

Build

I connect, clean and structure the data, then build dashboards and reporting logic with review moments along the way.

Improve

The final step is not only handover. We translate insights into practical process improvements, follow-up actions and savings opportunities.

A note on availability. LimiaData runs a limited number of engagements at a time, which means focused attention on each one.

Built from a Business Control and manager perspective.

For more than fifteen years I worked inside an international company — in business control and finance, and later in senior leadership, directing international recruitment and managing teams across borders.

I have built reports that boards rely on, and I have sat on the other side of the table as the manager who needed the numbers to be right.

That mix is what I bring to LimiaData: the technical side of dashboards, data models and analytical systems, combined with the practical sense of what a busy manager actually needs to see.

I work with small and mid-sized companies in the Netherlands.

I try to build the analytics I wanted to have as a manager: not only what happened, but what changed, why it matters and where to look next.

My approach is practical: clear scope, clear communication, and analytical products that get used rather than admired once and forgotten.
