Data Pipeline & Reporting Automation

Turn a defined, recurring data or reporting process into a reliable automated workflow. Reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and stop depending on specific people being available to run it.

The Problem

Repetitive data work costs more than time.

Businesses often spend significant time on repetitive data and reporting processes — downloading files, combining data, cleaning spreadsheets, updating reports, or moving information between systems. These processes consume valuable time, introduce errors, and often depend on specific people being available to perform them.

Ideal Client

This is for you if your business...

Spends significant time each week on repetitive data or reporting tasks.

Repeatedly downloads, combines, cleans, or transforms data.

Moves data manually between systems.

Needs data processed or delivered on a regular schedule.

Already has a recurring process but wants to reduce the manual work involved.

Can identify a specific business process it wants to automate.

How It Works

Every engagement starts with one automation goal.

A goal here is a specific, recurring outcome you want to stop doing by hand — a weekly sales report, a monthly reconciliation, a data consolidation you run every Monday. Not a broad ambition like "better data." Everything Orion scopes and prices, up to 3 business processes, is built around delivering that one outcome reliably.

Before confirming scope, Orion assesses the complexity of the work across four areas:

Data Complexity

Sources, access, structure, and integration requirements.

Transformation Complexity

Cleaning, business rules, calculations, and modelling required.

Automation Complexity

Scheduling, dependencies, validation, monitoring, and reliability.

Output Complexity

Tables, dashboards, reports, files, or feeds the automation must produce.

Together, these determine whether your engagement is classified as Standard, Complex, or Advanced. The offering scopes and prices up to 3 business processes per engagement; additional processes are priced separately.

Examples of processes clients have automated:

Sales Reporting Inventory Reporting Data Consolidation KPI Reporting Dashboard Data Preparation Report Distribution

Deliverables

A working, documented pipeline.

Required data extraction and integration

Transformations and business logic

Scheduled workflow execution

Data validation and error handling

Monitoring and logging appropriate to the solution

One primary automated output

Technical documentation & knowledge transfer

14 days of post-delivery support

After The Sprint

Keep the workflow reliable after it's built.

An automated workflow still needs a responsible owner — schedules change, source systems change, and jobs occasionally fail. For clients who've completed this sprint, Orion offers a way to keep it dependable.

Ongoing Automation Support

Pipeline monitoring, failed-job troubleshooting, data-quality checks, and minor changes — for clients who want someone responsible for keeping the workflow reliable and up to date.
