Better Decisions from Better Data

We design and build reporting and analytics systems for businesses across the UK and Isle of Man. Dashboards, reports, and analytics platforms that give you accurate, reliable insight into your business - without manual data extraction, without spreadsheet reconciliation, and without waiting for an analyst to run the numbers.

Businesses that make decisions on good data make better decisions than those that make decisions on bad data or intuition. The gap between knowing this and actually having reliable data available to the right people at the right time is, for most growing businesses, primarily a technology problem. We close that gap.

Every reporting system we build is the work of Owen Jones, OLXR's founder and lead engineer. We treat reporting as a product - something designed around real user needs, built on reliable data, and maintained as the business evolves.

Who This Is For

Businesses whose reporting requires manual data extraction from multiple systems and spreadsheet assembly

Organisations where key metrics are not available in real time when decisions need to be made

Leadership teams needing dashboards without depending on analysts to run reports manually

Businesses investing in Power BI or Tableau and needing a reliable data layer underneath

Teams needing self-service reporting so business users can answer their own questions

Companies needing to share reporting data securely with clients or partners

External Portals

Secure reporting interfaces for clients or partners with proper access controls.

KPI Frameworks

Definition, calculation, and consistent presentation of your key metrics.

Alerting & Notifications

Our Approach

Define the Questions Before the Reports

The most common reporting failure is building reports around available data rather than the questions the business needs to answer. We start by understanding what decisions users are making and what information they need to make those decisions well - then design the reporting system to answer those specific questions reliably.

Build on a Reliable Data Foundation

A reporting system is only as reliable as its data. Before building any dashboard or report interface, we assess the quality and structure of the underlying data. If the data layer is not reliable, we fix that first - because a dashboard showing wrong numbers is worse than no dashboard at all.

Design for the Actual Users

Reporting systems are used by people with varying levels of data literacy. We design for the actual users - with appropriate complexity levels, clear labels, sensible defaults, and drill-down capability that lets users explore further when they need to without overwhelming them when they do not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes - we build custom web-based reporting dashboards using C# and ASP.NET Core. This is the right approach when you need deep application integration, external user access, or requirements that BI tools like Power BI or Tableau cannot meet. Custom dashboards give you full control over the user experience and can be embedded directly into your existing application.

Data quality checks are built into the ingestion pipelines, with automated reconciliation between source systems and the reporting layer. Every metric has a clear definition and calculation method, and we maintain data lineage so that any discrepancy can be traced back to its source and resolved quickly.

Yes - external reporting portals with client-specific data access are something we build regularly. Each client sees only their own data, with proper authentication and authorisation controls ensuring complete data isolation between accounts.
