Fix messy processes, manual reports and unreliable data.

I help operations-led businesses replace disconnected Excel files, manual reporting and unclear processes with simple systems that save time, reduce mistakes and give managers better visibility.

Excel | Power BI | Power Apps | Power Automate | Process Improvement

Do these problems sound familiar?

Your business may not need a big system yet.
It may just need the current process fixing.

Common problems I help with:

Too many Excel files
Manual copy and paste every day
Reports arriving late
Different people using different numbers
Managers not trusting the data
Power BI reports built on messy inputs
Data spread across Excel, email, SharePoint and manual forms
Processes depending on one person who “knows how it works”

These problems cost time, create mistakes and make decision-making harder.

What I do

I help businesses simplify how information is collected, updated, reported and used.

The aim is simple:

Less manual work.
Fewer mistakes.
Clearer visibility.
Better decisions.

Depending on the problem, the solution could be:

A better Excel tracker
A Power BI dashboard
A Power App for data capture
An automated workflow
A cleaned-up process
A single source of truth

Not every business needs complicated technology.
Most businesses need a process that actually works.

Why work with me?

I understand both sides: operations and data.

Many reporting problems are not really dashboard problems.
They are process problems.

With practical operational experience and data/automation skills, I can help identify the real issue before building the solution.

That means the work is focused on what matters:

saving time, reducing mistakes and improving business visibility.

Your website already shows your contact email and Lincolnshire/East Midlands location, which is good. Keep that visible and consistent with your LinkedIn and images.

WHY KC-DPS?

Why choose a consultant who has actually run the floor? Most data analysts have never stepped foot in a warehouse. Most warehouse managers don't know how to code. I do both.

Technical Distinction: A Distinction-level graduate of the Multiverse Level 4 Data Fellowship, specializing in predictive forecasting and automation.
