For groups with several companies, brands or sites

Every company in the group, on one screen, every morning.

Each company has its own system and its own report. We bring the data from all of them into one central database and build the reports your board opens every day: finance next to sales, stock and site-level numbers.

16 one-click questions. You get a score, your list of gaps and the first thing to fix. Free.

Sound familiar?

If you recognise these, you are not the only ones.

01

“Every company in the group reports in a different format.”

02

“We only get group figures once the accounts team has closed the month.”

03

“I do not know which company or brand is dragging the group down.”

04

“We tried to hire an analyst. It takes months, and we would still depend on one person.”

From problem to result

From separate reports to one picture.

01 · The problem

The data sits in different systems, in different companies.

What we do

A central database that takes the data automatically from every system in the group.

The result

The same numbers for everyone, with no consolidation by hand.

02 · The problem

The board sees the group result once a month, and late.

What we do

Dashboards refreshed daily, by company, brand, site and line of business.

The result

You see every morning where you are making money and where you are losing it.

03 · The problem

Nobody has time to read the numbers and draw conclusions.

What we do

A monthly review with you: what the numbers show and what is worth changing.

The result

Decisions made on figures, not on impressions.

Instead of hiring

Looking for an analyst? Compare the hire with an external department.

An employed analyst
The Lole Works external department
Cost
A £40,000 salary costs about £46,300 a year with employer National Insurance and the minimum pension, before recruitment fees, licences and management time.
One fixed monthly subscription, agreed before we start.
Start
Recruitment, notice periods and onboarding: months before the first report.
First results in 2 to 4 weeks.
Skills
One person. Usually either an analyst or an automation specialist.
Both, with specialists brought in when a project needs them.
If they leave
What they knew leaves with them. The reports are left without an owner.
Everything is documented. Your data and reports remain yours.

The employment cost is our own calculation from the gov.uk rates for 2026 to 2027: employer National Insurance and the minimum employer pension.

How we start

First reports in 2 to 4 weeks.

Week 1

The data map

We agree which figures matter to the board and which systems hold them.

Weeks 2 to 4

First reports

We connect the first systems and put the first dashboard live.

Month 2

The rest of the group

We add the other companies and data sources, one by one.

Then, monthly

We read the numbers together

We review the results and add the next most important report.

What changes

What changes for you.

You see the result of every company, and of the group, every day.
Meetings start from the same figures.
Consolidation no longer takes days out of month-end.
Reports for the bank and for investors are close to hand.
The reports no longer depend on one person.

How clearly do you see the group's numbers today?

Twelve questions a group should be able to answer yes to. Three minutes, and you leave with your list of gaps.

Questions

What groups ask before they start.

We already use a consolidation add-on for our accounting software. Why would we need this?

Those tools consolidate the accounts. We add what they leave out: sales, stock, orders and site-level data next to the finance numbers, in one place, with someone who reads them with you every month.

Do you work with the systems we already have?

Yes. We connect to your accounting and operational systems, your spreadsheets, your online shops and the other tools you use. We do not ask you to change anything.

Who owns the data and the reports?

You do. The database, the reports and the documentation belong to the group.

We already have someone who builds reports. Is this still worth it?

Yes. We work alongside them: we take on collecting and cleaning the data, and they keep the analysis and the board's questions.

What access do you need?

Read access to the systems the data comes from. We tell you exactly what we need on the first call.
