Analytics & BI

Analytics & Business Intelligence

High-converting semantic data models, embedded analytics, and interactive BI dashboards designed for real-time decision support.

Turn complex data into instant business decisions. KryoNex builds unified semantic models (Looker, Power BI, dbt) and embedded analytics dashboards with row-level security and sub-second rendering.

Executive Reporting Overhaul

Service Overview

A data warehouse delivers value only when business stakeholders can instantly query, trust, and act on visual insights.

We engineer the presentation and semantic layer: translating multi-table SQL queries into clear business dimensions, enforcing row-level access control, and embedding fast interactive dashboards into your portals.

Business Challenges Addressed

Spreadsheet Proliferation

Critical business decisions are being made based on dozens of manually updated, conflicting Excel spreadsheets passed around via email.

Dashboard Clutter

The company has a BI tool, but it is filled with hundreds of abandoned, confusing dashboards that no one knows how to use.

The Reporting Bottleneck

Business users have to file a Jira ticket and wait two weeks for the data team to build a simple new report.

Ideal For

Data-Rich, Insight-Poor Organizations

Companies that collect massive amounts of data but struggle to extract clear, actionable metrics from it.

Operational Management Teams

Leaders who need real-time visibility into supply chain, financial, or workforce metrics to make daily adjustments.

When to Consider

Post-Data Warehouse Build

Immediately after implementing a modern data warehouse, to actually deliver the promised ROI to the business.

Executive Reporting Overhaul

When the executive team mandates a single, unified source of truth for all company KPIs.

Engagement Framework

Typical Scenarios

Executive KPI Dashboards

Designing high-level, highly polished dashboards that consolidate financial, sales and operational metrics into a single executive view.

Self-Service BI Enablement

Configuring a semantic layer in a BI tool (like Looker or Power BI) so non-technical users can drag-and-drop to build their own reliable reports.

Embedded Analytics

Engineering customized analytics dashboards and embedding them directly into your customer-facing SaaS application or client portal.

Engagement Models

Fixed Scope Project

Design and delivery of a specific set of operational dashboards and the underlying semantic data models.

Advisory & Discovery

Consulting on BI tool selection, governance strategies and dashboard design best practices.

Delivery Methodology

KPI Strategy & Metric Definition

We collaborate with executive stakeholders to define precise mathematical formulas for core business KPIs and wireframe dashboard layouts.

KPI Data DictionaryDashboard Wireframe Prototypes

Unified Semantic Layer Engineering

We build standardized semantic models (LookML / dbt) that abstract SQL queries into drag-and-drop business metrics.

Semantic Data ModelsRow-Level Security (RLS) Rules

Interactive Visualization & Dashboard Build

We develop responsive BI dashboards focused on sub-second rendering, mobile access, and intuitive drill-down analysis.

UAT, Security & End-User Enablement

We validate data accuracy against financial records, enforce role-based access rules, and train non-technical users on self-service reporting.

Operational Responsibilities

KryoNex Responsibilities

  • Engineer the semantic layer to ensure queries are performant and accurate.
  • Design intuitive, accessible visualizations that avoid charting pitfalls.
  • Implement Row-Level Security (RLS) to ensure users only see data they are authorized to view.

Client Responsibilities

  • Provide ultimate authority on the mathematical definitions of business KPIs.
  • Ensure end-users participate actively in the wireframing and UAT phases.

Shared Responsibilities

  • Establish a governance policy for who is allowed to publish "official" company dashboards.

Expected Deliverables

  • Interactive Dashboards (Power BI/Tableau/Looker)
  • Documented Semantic Data Models
  • Row-Level Security (RLS) Configuration
  • BI Governance Strategy Document

Success Criteria

  • Engagement-specific objectives typically include:
  • - End-user adoption rates of the new BI platform exceed defined targets.
  • - Dashboard load times are optimized to render complex queries in under 3 seconds.
  • - Conflicting reports are eliminated by centralizing on a single semantic model.

Transition & Support

We provide training to ensure your internal analysts can modify the dashboards and maintain the semantic layer. For embedded analytics implementations, we provide ongoing software support to ensure the dashboards remain seamlessly integrated with your product.

Technologies

Power BI / Tableau

Industry-standard visualization and business intelligence platforms.

Looker / LookML

For highly governed, code-driven enterprise semantic layers.

dbt Semantic Layer

For centralizing metric definitions closer to the data warehouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build the underlying data warehouse too?

Yes, but we treat that as Data Engineering. Analytics focuses specifically on the presentation layer. Often, these two services are paired together in a single engagement to deliver an end-to-end data platform.

How do you stop users from creating bad reports?

We implement a strong Semantic Layer. This acts as a translation engine so users can drag-and-drop dimensions without writing SQL and they are restricted from making impossible joins that would result in inaccurate data.

Can we show these dashboards to our external customers?

Yes. We frequently build Embedded Analytics solutions, where we securely integrate BI dashboards into your own web application, using Row-Level Security to ensure customers only see their own data.
