Data Processing Transformation
How we automated reporting across 6 data sources, eliminated 30 hours of manual work weekly, and enabled real-time decision making for a growing marketing agency.
The Challenge
A rapidly growing marketing agency was struggling with data chaos. Their team spent 30+ hours weekly manually collecting data from Google Analytics, HubSpot, social media platforms, Google Ads, and payment processors to create client reports.
The manual process involved logging into multiple platforms, exporting CSV files, copying data between Excel spreadsheets, and creating charts manually. Reports took 2 days to complete, were prone to errors, and by the time they reached clients, the data was already outdated.
With 25+ clients and growing, this approach was unsustainable. The team needed more time for strategy and optimization, but were trapped in a cycle of manual reporting tasks.
