Quantitative consulting for business

In today's business life, quantitative methods are needed everywhere. The ability not only to efficiently organize but also to meaningfully interpret your data, and act upon it, is an important competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Though more and more companies invest heavily into their IT-structure, enabling them to track every detail of their purchasing, production and sales-processes, large part of the potential buried in these data remains unused. Producers of BI (business intelligence) software, as well as companies offering dedicated software solutions for single problems, have been present in this market for quite a while. However, there remains a large gap between the data knowhow offered by these companies on the one hand, and the business knowhow of their customer companies on the other. Software solutions are often "off-the-shelf" and rarely take into account the everyday processes of the users they are supposed to support, thus wasting large part of their potential.

Building on years of consulting experience in many different industries and on a strong mathematical and statistical background, we offer to bridge this gap between analysis and business. We know the workings of operations and sales and the intricacies of IT-implementation. Our projects always include a phase of finding a common understanding of the business problem involved, a phase of knowledge transfer to ensure the solutions and concepts found are rooted in the client's business intuition, as well as a phase insuring the compatibility of the solution found with the existing IT landscape.

  • Strategy and Planning
