Data analytics: consulting and custom solutions
SumatoSoft helps businesses and enterprises transform raw data into solutions that drive informed decision-making and improve operational efficiency.
Why businesses use our custom data analytics services
Unified KPIs and a single version of the truth
We establish unified definitions of metrics and their sources for all departments. Management and departments rely on the same figures and agreed-upon KPIs.
Fast management decisions
Decision-making cycles go from months to weeks or days. Unnecessary approvals are reduced, meetings are shorter, and responsibilities are assigned in advance by roles.
Transparent revenue growth
We identify sustainable growth opportunities in pricing, products, segments, and channels. We demonstrate the contribution of revenue initiatives and confirm their impact with figures.
Reduced operating costs
To significantly reduce manual labor and human errors, we automate report preparation and routine reconciliations. We optimize inventory and procurement, and monitor cloud costs and requests monthly.
Risk and compliance management
Early warnings and automated access control reduce the likelihood of failures and incidents. Activity logs and reports for regulators are generated without manual compilation.
Aligned teamwork
We establish roles, metric owners, and clear rules for collaboration between departments. The shared backlog is transparent, priorities are agreed upon in advance, and dependencies are disclosed to everyone promptly.
Predictable value delivery
Work is conducted in sprints with demos, plans, and clear artifacts for each stage. We validate results with metrics after releases and agreed-upon quarterly reviews.
Strengthening internal teams
Self-service BI reduces the flow of requests to analysts and IT. The team focuses on models, experiments, and practical improvements to business performance.
No vendor lock-in
The architecture and models are documented, and tools can be replaced without lengthy downtime. We maintain the current stack and avoid unnecessary system replacements and migrations.
Full rights to results
Code, models, dashboards, and diagrams are handed over to the Client with full rights. Detailed documentation ensures fast, data-free knowledge transfer.
Scaling without rework
Layers and data marts are designed to accommodate the growth of data, users, and sources. Load is checked in advance, and automatic scaling is enabled promptly where needed.
Project budget control
We calculate the cost of services and requests at every stage of delivery. Limits and alerts are configured, and monthly reports prevent unnecessary expenses early.
How business departments leverage analytics
Executives
A unified picture and fast decisions through unified KPIs and a single source of truth for all levels. “What if” scenarios show the impact of decisions before launch, and early signals of risks and deviations reduce response time.
Finance
Data analytics solutions put profitability and cash under control, forecast cash gap, and allow planning period-end closure. Cloud and request cost control reduce unnecessary expenses.
Marketing and sales
Custom data analytics allows marketing and sales to grow revenue with fewer expenses. Attribution reveals the channels that generate revenue; segments and LTV lead to precise offers and improved retention, and price elasticity helps grow margins without declining volume.
Operations and supply chain
Through our custom solutions, we increase speed and predictability. Demand forecasting balances inventory and reduces stockouts. Queue and cycle analytics reveal process bottlenecks, and shift and capacity planning are based on facts.
Risk and security
We ensure fewer incidents and fewer losses. Online anomaly detection reduces fraud and false alarms. Activity logs and roles simplify investigations and reporting. Access and audit policies improve compliance.

Our Clients’ success stories
The system has produced a significant competitive advantage in the industry thanks to SumatoSoft’s well-thought opinions.
They shouldered the burden of constantly updating a project management tool with a high level of detail and were committed to producing the best possible solution.
I was impressed by SumatoSoft’s prices, especially for the project I wanted to do and in comparison to the quotes I received from a lot of other companies.
Also, their communication skills were great; it never felt like a long-distance project. It felt like SumatoSoft was working next door because their project manager was always keeping me updated. Initially.
We tried another company that one of our partners had used but they didn’t work out. I feel that SumatoSoft does a better investigation of what we’re asking for. They tell us how they plan to do a task and ask if that works for us. We chose them because their method worked with us.
The Rivalfox had the pleasure to work with SumatoSoft in building out core portions of our product, and the results really couldn’t have been better.
SumatoSoft provided us with engineering expertise, enthusiasm and great people that were focused on creating quality features quickly.
SumatoSoft is great in every regard including costs, professionalism, transparency, and willingness to guide. I think they were great advisors early on when we weren’t ready with a fully fleshed idea that could go to market.
They know the business and startup scene as well globally.
SumatoSoft is the firm to work with if you want to keep up to high standards. The professional workflows they stick to result in exceptional quality.
Important, they help you think with the business logic of your application and they don’t blindly follow what you are saying. Which is super important. Overall, great skills, good communication, and happy with the results so far.
From the early stages of the project, SumatoSoft demonstrated a proactive attitude, actively seeking opportunities to enhance the solution and anticipate our needs. They consistently took the initiative to address any potential issues, provide timely updates, and offer solutions to challenges that arose during development. This proactiveness greatly contributed to the project’s success and exceeded our expectations.
SumatoSoft is flexible, efficient, and extremely good at planning and being proactive. They have also been very proactive in their approach throughout the project, seeking to understand the needs and the reasons behind them before launching into development, which has been helpful for maintaining direction and consistency, especially because the end client is regularly generating new ideas for added features.
Working with SumatoSoft has been an outstanding experience. Their team is not only highly skilled but also incredibly responsive, collaborative, and committed to delivering quality results. I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you team SumatoSoft for bringing my vision to life.
How we work
We start with your business: we define goals, roles, and metrics. We identify risks and constraints.
We conduct a short audit of data and processes to identify sources, access, and security requirements. And then we prepare a work plan, a budget, and a release calendar.
We work in short sprints with regular demos, use Scrum in 9 out of 10 projects, and use Kanban for ticket flow and support.
We assemble the data foundation and data marts to create the first BI dashboards for key roles. Then, we launch ML pilots and expand the solution. After that, we move on to operation and development.
We provide 24/7 access to tasks and status, and send sprint reports and monthly summaries. We ensure we meet deadlines and approve changes in advance.
We check data quality at every stage, conduct code reviews and testing, encrypt data, configure roles, and maintain logs. We also comply with HIPAA, GDPR, and other regulations as required by the project.
We maintain communication through convenient channels, hold regular calls and status meetings, and promptly respond to questions and document decisions.
We maintain a unified set of project documents where we describe metrics, diagrams, APIs, and instructions. Upon completion of the development, we conduct training and short sessions for the team.
We maintain product and data quality, add new cases and sources, monitor cloud costs and requests, and update the development plan quarterly.
