What is a management intelligence system?
A management intelligence system brings together the information, calculations and analysis a business uses to understand its performance. It connects data from different sources, establishes consistent measures and gives management a clear way to review results and investigate changes.
Kiva builds the system behind that understanding: the data connections, calculation logic, validation checks, dashboards, management reports and working practices that make the information useful.
The value is a consistent way to understand and manage the business, supported by information your team can explain and use.

The system behind better-informed management.
Each engagement combines business understanding with the technical and practical work needed to make information reliable and useful.
Connected business data
Bring together the agreed information from spreadsheets, business systems and databases.
Consistent performance measures
Define what each KPI means, how it is calculated and which source it uses.
Validation and controls
Check calculations and reconciliation, document limitations and agree responsibilities.
Analysis and management views
Build dashboards, reports and analysis around the questions management needs to answer.
Training and adoption
Help your team understand the information and use it in regular performance reviews.
Documentation and support
Provide the agreed documentation, handover and post-launch support.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are agreed measures of business performance. The proposal defines the coverage and responsibilities for each component.
Get answers to the questions behind your results.
Why are sales growing but profit falling?
Which products and customers contribute most to profit?
Which branches or departments are underperforming?
Where are costs increasing?
How are we performing against our budget?
Where are delays or operational bottlenecks?
Which numbers should management review each month?
We help define the right measures, check the underlying data and build a management intelligence system that makes these questions easier to investigate.

Questions before you start
KPIs are key performance indicators: agreed measures of business performance.
Are you selling Power BI dashboards?
We build complete management intelligence systems. Power BI dashboards can form part of the system, alongside data connections, KPI definitions, validation, analysis, documentation and training. The tools are selected around the agreed business requirements.
How do the three systems differ?
The Management Intelligence System establishes intelligence for a business and an agreed priority area. The Group Performance & Consolidation System brings together management information across multiple businesses or locations. The Enterprise Intelligence System supports broader complexity across functions, systems and management audiences.
What does management gain from the system?
A consistent way to understand performance, investigate changes and identify priorities. The system brings together agreed data, calculations and analysis so management can spend more time reviewing the business and less time assembling or reconciling information.
Can you work with our existing spreadsheets and systems?
Yes. We assess data from Excel, Google Sheets, accounting platforms, customer relationship management systems, operational systems and databases. Connections depend on the access, exports or integrations each system supports.
Does our data need to be clean before we begin?
No. We review data quality during scoping. Agreed cleaning and preparation are included in the project. Extensive corrections or historical reconstruction are scoped separately.
Can you work alongside our finance or data team?
Yes. We can lead a defined reporting project or work alongside your finance, operations, technology or existing business intelligence team.
How long does a project take?
A Management Intelligence System implementation typically takes 6–8 weeks. A Group Performance & Consolidation System typically takes 8–12 weeks. An Enterprise Intelligence System may take 12–20 weeks. Timing depends on scope, access to data and your team’s availability.
