This Helps Me How?

If your problem is disconnected software systems and operational inefficiencies

stunting growth of your small business, then we can help.

Do you have a love-hate relationship with software?

Small and medium size business (SMB) owners and their staff sacrifice convenience for low cost, living with separate accounting and operations-specific apps to run their companies.

A common tradeoff with these cost-effective but disconnected systems is a lack of TIMELY DECISION DATA™ to streamline workflows and make better decisions.

These disconnected systems do not integrate well.

Billing doesn’t play nice with the general ledger.

Payroll doesn’t acknowledge fleet-tracking GPS logs.

CRM and Accounts Receivable are not even on speaking terms.

Case Studies

Is your business stuck with software silos?

The result? Many SMBs use Excel or Google Sheets to combine data from these systems manually every month.

Are you frustrated that these software systems do not talk to each other?

Are you tired of canned reports that are hard to analyze and do not help you make better decisions?

How much time does your company waste every month with manual and duplicate data entry requiring one or more employees to get it done?

Your existing software systems already possess more data than you realize. You just have to extract and process it in a more useful and timely format.

Case Studies

Streamlined processes and TIMELY DECISION DATA™ - when and where you need them.

You can get the TIMELY DECISION DATA™ you need - from your existing siloed software systems - to make better decisions and grow your company’s cash flow.

Why We Do What We Do

Streamlined internal workflows and TIMELY DECISION DATA™ mean you can scale your business without the expense and disruption of an ERP implementation

Our Philosophy

Everyone has a blind spot: we don't know what we don't know.

Entrepreneurs may think that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is necessary to take their businesses to the next level. They simply may not know about alternatives.

But an ERP implementation may not be the best option for a growing small business, and there are viable options.

Our Promise

There are less expensive, less disruptive, less frustrating ways to process and capture the data you need to make better decisions and grow your business. You can achieve this with your existing software systems.

We customize data tools and automations to streamline your team's internal workflows, eliminate duplicate manual data entry, and put the right information at your fingertips, when and where you need it.

Our Guarantee

TIMELY DECISION DATA™ and streamlined operations we deliver for your business will make you SMILE.

If they don't, we will gladly refund your money.

SMILE or you don’t pay.

That is the Data Make You Smile money-back guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can DMYS help with disconnected software systems and operational inefficiencies stunting growth in my business?

We eliminate manual data entry and automate data capture from these disconnected systems so that you can make better decisions to grow your company.

We help you delay (possibly eliminate) the costly ERP implementation project you’ve been dreading.

What is a "data model"?

A data model (aka "semantic model") captures raw data from multiple sources (software systems, websites, SQL databases, data warehouses, Excel files, CSV files and dozens of other sources) and ties the data together in a manner similar to a relational database, but with custom calculations and analysis built in.

The model allows you to clean, shape, analyze, summarize and present all that data so that it is useful to you, as a business owner or finance or operations professional, to evaluate your business and make better decisions about how to grow it.

What do you mean by "automation"?

Automation is a fancy word for connections between software systems that move data without human intervention. We use automation technology tools to transfer data between your disconnected software systems so your admin staff don't have to do it by hand.

An example includes connecting to your billing software and its Application Programming Interface (API) to move transaction and timesheet data to your HR/Payroll software, so you can process payroll more quickly, and with fewer admin staff hours to do so.

What do you mean by "business intelligence"?

Business intelligence (BI) is just a fancy category name for tools that turn raw data into information you can use.

You see this information in custom dashboards, data visualizations and reports that highlight changes over time or give you a better understanding of your company's health and performance.
