Vantino Helps Accounting Company

Idea

Our client runs an accounting company with three office branches in Europe. They recently decided to consolidate the company's internal data to get a real-time overview of operations across branches.

Challenges

The custom Business Intelligence service had to be flexible enough to:

• accept various data sources in CSV format;
• expose a secure Web-based dashboard;
• let non-specialists generate reports and query the data easily;
• allow generated reports to be integrated into third-party Web-based user interfaces.

Solution

Vantino built a custom, flexible data analytics solution based on the Superset business intelligence (BI) platform, originally released by Airbnb.

A custom secure REST API ingests CSV data exported automatically from the company ERP into the analytics server database.

Analytics reports update continuously, letting the management team monitor company activities in real time from a single Web interface. The reports can cover sales monitoring, staff workload, marketing activities and much more, organised across dashboards that present information clearly and consistently.

Choosing an open-source foundation gave the client a solution tailored to its needs without recurring licence fees, with more control over its data, less exposure to uncontrolled vendor changes, and potentially stronger security than a proprietary or SaaS alternative.

Many companies struggle to manage a growing volume of data: collecting and analysing it takes time and expertise. As a result — even though leveraging company data can be a real competitive advantage — businesses often fail to exploit the invaluable insights it contains.
