Who is Data Engineering & Analytics for?

Data Engineering & Analytics is a good fit for sales and finance reporting, customer 360 views, donor and programme reporting and demand forecasting. We work with SMEs, startups, enterprises, NGOs and public-sector teams.

What results can we expect from Data Engineering & Analytics?

Typical outcomes are one source of truth, reports in minutes, not days and AI-ready data foundations. We agree measurable success metrics before any build starts and report on them weekly.

How much does Data Engineering & Analytics cost?

Strategy sprint from KES 60,000 (≈ $465). Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute consultation, after which we send a fixed quote in Kenya shillings (or USD if you prefer). You can pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card, in instalments if that suits your cash flow, and we offer startup and NGO rates.

How long does Data Engineering & Analytics take?

Strategy sprint: 2–4 weeks. We share progress in weekly demos, so you see working results early rather than waiting for a big reveal at the end.

What technology do you use for Data Engineering & Analytics?

We commonly use PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, dbt, Airflow and Power BI. We choose tools that fit your existing systems, budget and data-protection needs rather than forcing one stack.

We still run on Excel. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most clients start there. We automate the spreadsheets first, then move to a warehouse when it makes sense.

Can you connect to M-Pesa statements?

Yes, via Daraja APIs or statement imports, depending on your setup.
