What we do

Four ways to get a clearer view of your business

Most engagements start with one of these — and often lead into another once the first answer raises a new question.

Data Analytics

Sales, profit and operational data cleaned, modelled and turned into the handful of numbers that actually drive your decisions — not a 40-tab spreadsheet nobody opens twice.

Project-based

Power BI Reporting

Live, interactive dashboards — not static exports. Filter by month, region or product yourself, refreshed on a schedule so you're always looking at current numbers.

Project-based or monthly retainer

AI & Predictive Modelling

Forecasting, churn prediction, demand modelling — built on your own data, not a generic template. Where a dashboard shows what happened, a predictive model shows what's likely to happen next.

Project-based

AI & Data Training

Courses for data analysts and teams — from a half-day dashboard walkthrough to a full advanced analytics program. See training packages below.

Training

Advanced data analytics courses for teams

Delivered on-site or remote, for individual analysts or a whole department — in banking, healthcare, retail, logistics, or any organisation working with data. Content is tailored to your industry and existing tools, not a generic slide deck.

Dashboard Literacy

A half-day session for teams who already have a dashboard but don't fully use it. How to read it, filter it, and ask it the right questions.

Half-day · on-site or remote

Power BI for Analysts

Hands-on training in data modelling, DAX and dashboard design — for analysts who need to build reports themselves, not just read them.

2-day intensive

Advanced Analytics & Predictive Modelling

A deeper course covering forecasting, statistical fundamentals and applied predictive modelling using Python — for analysts ready to move past descriptive reporting.

4-day program

Custom Organisation Program

A tailored curriculum built around your organisation's own data, tools and skill gaps — for a bank's risk team, a hospital's clinical data unit, or any department working with real numbers. Scoped after a short assessment.

Scoped per organisation
How it works

From a rough question to a working dashboard

A typical first engagement, start to finish.

01

A short conversation

What's the business, what data already exists, and what decision are you actually trying to make. No obligation, no jargon.

02

Scope and a fixed quote

A short written proposal — what you'll get, by when, and what it costs. No surprise invoices later.

03

Build

Your data is cleaned, checked for errors, modelled, and built into a dashboard — with regular check-ins, not a black box until the end.

04

Handover and walkthrough

A live walkthrough of every chart, what it means, and how to use it — plus a written summary you can keep and share.

Recent work

Two examples, two different questions

Built from real retail and customer datasets, end to end — cleaning, modelling and the dashboard itself.

Retail analytics

One product line was quietly losing money on every sale

A full profitability review across regions and product categories on close to 10,000 retail transactions. The standout finding: heavy discounting on one furniture category was erasing its entire profit — a pattern invisible in the raw spreadsheet, obvious in one chart.

Profit by sub-category
−$17.7Kannual loss on this category
26%average discount applied
Customer analytics

Only 1 in 7 customers were responding to marketing

A segmentation pass across 2,200+ customer records — education level, household status, spending by category — to see who actually buys, and who a recent campaign reached. The response rate became a concrete number to improve, not a guess.

Where this applies

The same approach, across industries

The method above — clean the data, find the number that matters, build the dashboard around it — isn't specific to retail. It applies anywhere decisions are currently being made on gut feel instead of numbers.

Healthcare

Admissions trends, bed occupancy, treatment cost and outcome patterns.

Banking & Finance

Loan approval patterns, credit risk segments, portfolio performance.

Hospitality & Retail

Sales seasonality, product profitability, customer segmentation.

Professional Services

Client profitability, utilisation, pipeline and capacity planning.

Why Vantage

What working together actually looks like

Direct, start to finish

You work directly with the team that scopes, builds and delivers your dashboard — not a rotating account team or an outsourced middle layer.

Rigour without the jargon

Every dashboard is built on checked, clean data — translated into plain findings you can act on in a five-minute read.

Built for small businesses

Fixed-scope, fixed-price projects sized for SMEs — not enterprise engagements with a six-month lead time.

About

Dashboards, reports and predictive models built to grow your business

Vantage Analytics is a Melbourne-based data and AI consultancy. We work lean and hands-on by design — every engagement is scoped, built and delivered directly by the team, with no layer of account managers between you and the people who actually built your dashboard.

Our goal is never a dashboard for its own sake. It's the two or three sentences at the end of the project that start with "so what this actually means for your business is..." — the number that changes what you do next.

Questions

Before you get in touch

What data do I need to have ready?+

Whatever you already export from your point-of-sale, accounting software, or a simple spreadsheet is usually enough to start. If you're not sure what you have, the first conversation is exactly where we work that out together.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. Dashboards are delivered as a live link you open in any web browser — nothing to install, and it works on desktop or mobile.

How long does a first project usually take?+

A first dashboard project typically runs one to three weeks depending on how much cleaning the data needs and how many views you want — you'll get a specific timeline in the proposal before anything starts.

How is pricing worked out?+

Most first projects are fixed-price, quoted after the initial conversation so there are no surprises. Ongoing dashboard maintenance can move to a simple monthly retainer once the first build is done.

Is my data kept confidential?+

Yes — data handling and confidentiality terms are set out in writing before any files are shared, as standard practice on every engagement.
