Data engineering services

We connect data from your products, business systems and documents, then turn it into a reliable platform for reporting, operations and AI. Our data engineering services cover the full lifecycle, from source assessment and architecture to production pipelines, quality controls and ongoing support.


Building software since 2016ETL, ELT and document extractionThe platform lives in your cloud

Turn fragmented data into one reliable system

Most data problems cross several systems at once. We build the pipelines, storage, models and controls required to make that data usable across the business.

Pipelines and integrations

Our data integration engineering services connect product databases, SaaS tools, CRMs, ERPs, IoT devices and analytics platforms through monitored ETL or ELT pipelines.

Warehouses and lakehouses

We design a warehouse, lakehouse or relational data platform around the questions your teams need to answer, with raw, cleaned and published data kept separate.

Document data extraction

We use OCR and extraction workflows to turn contracts, leases, invoices, forms and scanned files into structured, searchable records.

Data quality and preparation

We remove duplicates, standardise formats, flag missing values and validate every load before unreliable data reaches a report, application or model.

Analytics and reporting

Our data analytics engineering services create trusted reporting layers for Power BI, Looker, Streamlit or Dash, so teams no longer maintain separate exports and spreadsheets.

Data for AI and machine learning

Our data science engineering services prepare training datasets, features and document indexes for models and assistants, with versioning that traces outputs back to the underlying data.

When disconnected data starts slowing the business down

The need usually becomes clear when disconnected data begins slowing down reporting, product development or operational decisions.

  1. Reports are assembled manually

    Teams export data from several systems and rebuild the same spreadsheet every week.

    The work

    • Source systems connected
    • Reporting tables validated
    • Manual exports replaced
  2. Data is spread across disconnected systems

    Customer, sales and operational records live in tools that use different formats and identifiers.

    The work

    • Priority sources mapped
    • Shared records matched
    • One data model created
  3. Important information is locked in documents

    Leases, invoices, forms or scans contain data that cannot be searched, analysed or used in automated workflows.

    The work

    • Documents classified
    • Fields extracted and standardised
    • Uncertain results sent for review
  4. AI development is blocked by poor data

    A model or assistant is planned, but its data is incomplete, duplicated, inconsistent or unlabelled.

    The work

    • Data quality measured
    • Training data prepared
    • Dataset versions controlled
  5. The current platform is expensive or unreliable

    Slow queries, failed loads and rising cloud costs make the existing data platform difficult to scale.

    The work

    • Bottlenecks identified
    • Pipelines and queries improved
    • Performance and costs monitored

From source assessment to production

Our data engineering consulting services begin with the business questions and source inventory.

  1. 01

    Source assessment

    We identify the systems and files that hold the required data, how they can be accessed, who owns them and which reports or workflows depend on them.

    Deliverables: source map, priority use cases and data quality findings
  2. 02

    Architecture

    We select the storage, processing and integration approach based on data volume, required freshness, security constraints and your existing cloud environment.

    Typical technologies: PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery and Databricks
  3. 03

    Pipeline development

    We build extraction and loading workflows for each source, including document processing where data arrives in PDFs or scans.

    Typical technologies: Python, Airflow, Prefect, Amazon Textract and OCRmyPDF
  4. 04

    Modelling and validation

    We transform raw data into documented business entities and add automated checks for completeness, uniqueness, consistency and freshness.

    Typical technologies: SQL, dbt and Great Expectations
  5. 05

    Reporting and access

    We connect validated data to reports, applications and APIs, with access controlled according to each user’s role.

    Typical technologies: Power BI, Looker, Streamlit and FastAPI
  6. 06

    Handover and support

    Your team can take over the platform with its code and documentation, or we can continue monitoring pipelines, resolving failures and adding new sources.

What we validate before development begins

A data platform should be designed around the decisions it supports, not around a list of tools. Before committing to the build, we validate four factors that determine the project’s value and feasibility.

01

The business questions are clear

We define which reports, workflows, product features or AI systems need the data and what should improve once it becomes available.

02

The sources are accessible

We confirm how each system can be accessed, how frequently its data changes and whether historical records are complete enough for the intended use.

03

Definitions have owners

We establish who decides what key metrics and entities mean, so the platform does not automate conflicting definitions from different teams.

04

The platform can be operated securely

We account for permissions, personal data, audit requirements, expected volumes, monitoring and the people who will maintain the system after launch.

What AI-native delivery changes in data engineering

Coding agents reduce the manual work involved in writing connectors, transformations, tests and documentation. Senior engineers remain responsible for architecture, business definitions, data security and the accuracy of published outputs.

AI-native product development

Build repetitive components faster

Agents help draft source mappings, pipeline code and transformation models, allowing engineers to spend more time resolving exceptions and reviewing data behaviour.

Test more of the data flow

Checks for schemas, missing values, duplicates and transformation logic can be created alongside the pipeline instead of being added after failures appear.

Keep business validation with people

Before a new table replaces an established report, both outputs run in parallel and the people who use the numbers confirm that the results match.

Technology selected around your data and infrastructure

We choose the stack based on your current cloud, data volume, processing speed, security requirements and the systems the platform must support.

Storage and warehousing

Stores raw files, structured records and analytics-ready datasets in an architecture designed for reliable access and future growth.

  • Amazon S3
  • Supabase
  • Databricks

Pipelines and orchestration

Moves data between source systems and the platform, manages dependencies and keeps scheduled or real-time processing workflows running.

  • Apache Airflow
  • Prefect

Transformation and quality

Converts raw data into consistent business entities and checks it for missing values, duplicates, schema changes and processing errors.

  • Apache Spark
  • SQL

Reporting and applications

Converts raw data into consistent business entities and checks it for missing values, duplicates, schema changes and processing errors.

  • Power BI
  • Looker

What clients ask before starting a data engineering project

How much do data engineering services cost?

The main cost factors are the number and condition of the data sources, how frequently the data must be updated, and the complexity of the target platform. After the initial source assessment, we provide a written scope, delivery sequence and estimate.

What should we expect from a data engineering services company?

When comparing data engineering services companies, look beyond their ability to build pipelines. The right partner should also define the architecture, validate business rules, implement quality controls, manage access and leave your team with documented code it can operate.

How soon can we start using the new platform?

We usually begin with one valuable reporting, operational or product use case and connect only the sources it requires. This allows users to work with the first validated output before the entire platform is complete. The timeline depends primarily on source access and data quality.

Do we need a warehouse, lakehouse or relational database?

The right choice depends on your data volume, formats, reporting requirements and existing infrastructure. We recommend the simplest architecture that meets the current need without creating unnecessary limits or complexity.

Can you extract data from PDFs and scanned documents?

Yes. We build OCR and extraction workflows for specific document types, standardise the extracted fields and send uncertain results for human review.

Who owns the pipelines and data platform?

You retain ownership of the platform and its data. Pipeline code, transformation logic, infrastructure configuration and documentation remain in your repositories and cloud environment.

Can you support the platform after launch?

Yes. We can monitor pipeline health, resolve failures, manage infrastructure costs, update transformations and connect new sources. We can also document and hand over the platform to your internal team.

How do you protect sensitive data?

We keep the platform in your cloud environment, restrict access by role and design the architecture around your security, compliance and regional requirements. We can sign an NDA before reviewing source data in detail.

What you can build on reliable data

Once the data foundation is in place, it can support reporting, customer-facing features and AI systems without creating a separate data flow for each use case.
