Design-led BI Consultancy
A dashboard isn't finished when the numbers are right. It's finished when anyone — analyst, ops manager, CEO — can open it and just use it. Every answer in front of you, and the next one a click away.
The Problem
Data teams are reporting. Businesses aren't deciding. The gap between the two is almost always the same thing — data that isn't designed to be understood, and a story that was never told. When the entry point is uninviting, adoption fails before it starts, and business-wide data culture stays a slide on a strategy deck.
Services
End-to-end — from understanding what to measure through to design, build, and adoption.

We start with intel — your existing reports, your audience, the decisions being made and not made. Expect questions, conversations, and back and forth before anything gets built.
We build with intent and refine together. Layouts, hierarchy, visual story — shaped through collaboration, not handed over as a finished file to approve or reject.
Rollout, training, comms, adoption strategy. We stay involved until people are actually using it — because that's when the work is done.
Why "Andon"?
A visual signal system from lean manufacturing — a light above the line, showing live status the moment it changes.
From the Japanese for paper lantern: a light that lets you see.
Ours is always on.
About
"People don't recoil from data. They recoil from data that isn't designed for them."
Andon Data grew out of twelve years in BI and analytics — performance reporting, contractual monitoring, safety and audit reporting — watching the same thing happen again and again. Technically solid work. Visually uninviting. Ignored.
The problem was never the numbers — it was the entry point. Good reporting is intuitive: the answer in front of you, the next answer one click away. That's the standard everything here is built to, for analysts, managers and boardrooms alike — honest to the decimal, calm enough to trust.
