What do you mean by Bespoke Reporting?
In data analytics, bespoke reporting refers to customized reports tailored to specific business needs, rather than using standardized, out-of-the-box reports. These reports are designed to provide insights that align with a company’s unique KPIs, operational workflows, or strategic goals.
Key Characteristics of Bespoke Reporting:
- Tailored Metrics & KPIs – Focuses on the most relevant performance indicators for a particular business or department.
- Custom Visualization & Layouts – Uses dashboards, charts, or tables designed to present data in the most effective way for decision-making.
- Automated & Dynamic – Often built using BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) or coded solutions (e.g., Python, R) to allow real-time or scheduled updates.
- Integration with Multiple Data Sources – Pulls data from internal databases, APIs, CRM systems, or external sources.
- Actionable Insights – Goes beyond generic reports by providing insights aligned with business objectives.
Example Use Cases:
- A retail company creating a custom sales performance dashboard that segments sales by region, product type, and customer demographics.
- A healthcare provider developing a real-time patient flow report that tracks admissions, discharges, and bed availability.
- A SaaS company generating a churn prediction report with machine learning models applied to user engagement data.

What do we Mean When We say Web App?
A “web app” is a software application that runs in a web browser, enabling users to interact with it over the internet. Unlike static websites that primarily display information, web apps are dynamic, meaning they are built to perform specific tasks, adapt to user inputs, and process or analyze data in real time.
For example, in the context of data analytics, a web app might provide features such as:
- Uploading and Managing Data: Users can upload datasets in various formats (e.g., CSV, Excel) and manage them within the app.
- Real-Time Data Processing: The app can analyze uploaded data instantly, applying statistical models, data transformations, or machine learning algorithms.
- Interactive Visualization: Users can explore insights through customizable charts, graphs, and dashboards. These visualizations can adapt dynamically to changing inputs or data filters.
- Reporting and Collaboration: Web apps can generate detailed reports that are easy to share, making it possible for teams to collaborate remotely.
- Integration: They can connect with other tools or platforms, such as CRMs, cloud storage, or APIs, to streamline workflows.
Benefits of a Web App:
- Accessibility: A web app is accessible from any device with a browser and internet connection, removing the need for installation or updates.
- Customization: It can be tailored specifically to your business needs, ensuring it aligns with your unique workflows.
- Scalability: Web apps can grow with your business, handling increased data volumes or user activity seamlessly.
- Ease of Maintenance: Since web apps run on a centralized server, updates or fixes are applied universally, ensuring a consistent experience for all users.
For businesses looking to automate their company reporting, web apps are powerful tools that simplify complex processes, help make data-driven decisions, and foster collaboration across teams. At DieseinerData, we specialize in creating custom web apps that bring data analytics to your fingertips in a way that’s efficient, intuitive, and impactful.
What is the Intersection Between Data Visualizations and Dashboards?
Data Visualizations: An Explainer
A data visualization is a single visual representation of data, like a chart, graph, or map, that helps communicate specific information or patterns. For example, you might create a line chart showing sales trends over time, or a scatter plot displaying the relationship between marketing spend and revenue. Visualizations focus on telling one specific “story” or highlighting one particular aspect of your data.
Dashboards: An Explainer
A dashboard, on the other hand, is a collection of multiple data visualizations organized into a unified interface that provides a comprehensive view of key metrics and performance indicators. Think of it as a control center that brings together various visualizations to give stakeholders a holistic understanding of business performance. A sales dashboard might include:
- Monthly revenue trends
- Sales by region
- Top performing products
- Sales team performance metrics
- Customer acquisition costs
- Conversion rates
Main Distinctions:
Purpose: Visualizations are meant to communicate specific insights, while dashboards provide ongoing monitoring and tracking of multiple metrics.
Scope: Visualizations focus on one particular dataset or relationship, while dashboards integrate multiple data sources and metrics into a single view.
Interactivity: Dashboards typically offer more interactive features like filters, drill-downs, and real-time updates, while individual visualizations tend to be more static.
Update frequency: Dashboards are usually designed for continuous monitoring with regular updates, while visualizations might be created for one-time analysis or specific reports.
Are Dashboards the best introduction to analytics?
Yes, in most cases.
The majority of companies we work with have started their analytics journey with the creation of a dashboard, for example Microsoft Power BI along with some visualisations and correlation plots. This way stakeholders can properly understand the data captured and any gaps that need to be addressed can be easily identified.
It also provides a good foundation to move on to predictive analytics.

How can I get started with data analytics?
As a starting point what we find works well is a data discovery workshop to understand the quantity and quality of the data you hold, where it is stored and what important business questions you would like answered.
Work with a data partner.
Objective has a team of data scientists who work on outsourced analytics projects, including consultancy, proof of concepts, developing visualisations and Power BI Dashboards. Alternatively, we can add skill sets to your in-house technical team.
