“You can't manage what you can't measure.”
-- Peter Drucker
Data by itself is almost useless. For it to have meaning, it first needs to be transformed into information. But it has to be the right information, for the right people. Amlin Analytics focuses on those companies that depend on or work in the outdoors, including recreation, services and construction. We have expertise in supply chain management, logistics, procurement and, of course, business intelligence and analytics, all with an outdoor flare.

As we said, data by itself is not good enough. Data Analytics transforms it into useful information, where Business Intelligence can then turn that transformation into actionable insights you can use to make much better decisions. This is the foundation of what Amlin Analytics does.
Dashboards are a quick, “at-a-glance” picture of how your business is doing right now (similar to the dashboard of your car), while Reporting allows you or your analysts to drill deeper into areas of interest and potential problems. Amlin Analytics will collaborate with you and your team to build out custom visuals and then teach you how to manipulate them to gain better understanding of the underlying insights. These can all be transposed into Excel for more comfortable analysis.
Key Performance Indicators are metrics that showcase a snapshot in time, measuring your current status against your end goals. Benchmarking show how your company is measuring against industry or competitor standards. If you don’t yet have them, Amlin Analytics will help you create ones that make sense to your business and incorporate them into your dashboards and reports.
SSOT is used to ensure that everyone in your organization bases business decisions on the same information. Many companies struggle come reporting time because their data is housed in different locations, in different formats, and, in many cases, not stored at all. Amlin Analytics will consolidate your data into a central repository (complete with security and back up capabilities) where your reporting and ad hoc investigations can access needed information.
KPIs, dashboards and reports are all fine, but if the processes they’re reporting aren’t being measured the right way, all is for naught. Amlin Analytics will collaborate with you to ensure a thorough Business Analysis is done and proper data points are captured. As Peter Drucker said, “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.”
Wait, what does Common Sense have to do with BI and Dashboards and all that? The answer is- everything! You’ve been running your business on instinct for so long you “know” what feels right and what doesn’t. It’s an Old School concept that is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago. Amlin Analytics ensures everything we do makes sense for you, as our relationship will go far beyond the transactional. Common sense is how we keep people coming back.
