Data engineering for SMEs: data that arrives on its own
We build and maintain the pipelines that bring data from your ERP, CRM, e-commerce, APIs and ad platforms into your data platform. Every day, with no manual exports, and a check at every step.
Sound familiar?
When refreshing data is a job in itself.
- Someone spends time every day downloading files and loading them into reports.
- When a vendor changes an API or format, the reports break and nobody notices.
- Data arrives late, incomplete or duplicated.
- Nobody knows exactly where a number comes from.
What we build
Robust pipelines, monitored daily.
ETL/ELT pipelines
Automated extraction, transformation and loading, on a schedule or near real time.
Monitoring and alerts
Daily checks: if a pipeline stops, we know before you do.
Change management
When APIs, schemas or systems change, we adapt the pipelines without breaking your reports.
Traceability
For every number you know which source it came from and how it was transformed.
Costs under control
Pipelines optimised to use only the resources they need on the cloud platform.
A concrete result
One client spent 45 minutes every day downloading and refreshing data in Power BI. With Microsoft Fabric and a lakehouse the refresh became automatic: today that time is zero.

A good fit if
- Your data is refreshed by hand today, with downloads and exports.
- You have many different sources, internal and external.
- Your reports break when something changes in the source systems.
- You want reliable data every morning without thinking about it.
Not a fit if
- You need a new ERP: we connect and get value from the systems you have.
- You need operational integration between applications (e.g. website orders to the warehouse): that is a different job from analytics.
FAQ
Insights
Data engineering: common questions.
What does a data engineer do for an SME?
They build and maintain the flows that bring data from your business systems into the analytics platform, automatically, with checks and documentation. It is the work that makes dashboards and management control reliable.
What do ETL and ELT mean?
They are two ways of moving data: ETL transforms data before loading it, ELT loads it and then transforms it inside the platform. On modern platforms like Fabric and Snowflake, ELT is often simpler and cheaper.
Can you connect GA4 and the ad platforms too?
Yes. We connect GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads and LinkedIn Ads and combine their data with sales and CRM, for example for ROAS dashboards.
What happens if a pipeline breaks?
With a monthly package we monitor the pipelines daily and fix issues ourselves, with response times defined in the contract.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is the same for everyone: three monthly packages, with €1,000 off per month for the first 12 months. Even the first project can start directly on a monthly package. See the packages on the homepage.
