What we BUILD
One Size Does
Not Fit All
We closely align your business strategy with the tools that can bring it to life. You 100% own all the technology, models and structure that we set up meaning no reliance on us long-term.
HOW WE BUILD IT
Up & Running
In Months
Our aim at 173tech is to get you started with analytics in just a few months. We build scalebale and cost-effective solutions that stand the test of time.
We start off with a few sessions aimed at understanding your business model and current infrastructure to identify the gaps where data can make a difference. We map out your customer journey, different touchpoints, data volumes and KPIs.
- Your Team: Project Stakeholders (business & technical)
- Your Time: Two lots of 45 minute sessions typically
- Key Outcomes: Information gathered feeds directly into our recommendations
Once we understand your needs, we will recommend the right data tools for your bespoke needs. We focus on cost-effective solutions that scale. You 100% own all the technology, models & structure that we set up meaning no reliance on us long-term.
We will set up and optimise the of analytics stack of tools along the ETL pipeline including extraction, loading, storage, modelling and visualisation layers.
- Your Team: Project Stakeholder
- Your Time: We need your team to create an account for each tool
- Key Outcomes: Your data stack will be set up and optimised for use
We transform your raw data into metrics, going through a process of extraction and cleaning until they are ready to be surfaced as data models. All data models we create undergo a process of peer review and data reconciliation to ensure accuracy.
We always recommend working iteratively. We try and deliver value with every data source we integrate rather than waiting for every single source to be centralised.
- Your Team: Project Stakeholder
- Your Time: Minimal, usually just to verify some numbers
- Key Outcomes: Automated data models that crunch numbers to produce insights.
Once we have created your data models, they are then surfaced through automated reports and interactive dashboards. We go through a process of wireframing and approval to ensure each dashboard is fit for purpose but business users can also create their own drag-and-drop reporting and export the data they need with ease. We work with most of the popular dashboarding tools including; Tableau, Omni, Looker, Metabase & PowerBI.
- Your Team: Business Users
- Your Time: Testing the end solution and checking numbers
- Key Outcomes: Automated reports and interactive dashboards.
We are here to support you to adopt and adapt what we have built. We document everything to ensure that if/when you decide to hire, you have best practices already installed and can easily add to our work. After building your stack we can help you integrate more data sources, start to provide analysis on what the data shows or maintain what we have built.
- Your Team: Business Stakeholder
- Your Time: Minimal
- Key Outcomes: Ensuring your team can use the dashboards and troubleshoot
OUR APPROACH
Your Fractional Data Team
There are two core costs in setting up a data stack. The cost of 173tech setting up your tools, integrating modelling & visualising your data will vary depending on how many sources you want to integrate. After this, there are ongoing costs in running the pipeline which are typically tied into your data volume. Our Data Launcher project start from £36k+
Timelines will vary depending on the amount of data sources, models and dashboards you require. 173tech work iteratively and divide every project into small pieces, with clear deliverables at every step. Data Launcher projects typically take 8+ weeks.
Having a project manager on your side and a technical point of contact makes for faster requirements gathering process and ongoing collaboration. Most of your involvement comes in the early stages of the project as we try to understand your business and current data setup. From there we have a weekly 45 minute sync and may also have ad-hoc questions through slack.
