About Us

Big data & analytics for mid-sized companies · Live numbers, not monthly spreadsheets

Your data already knows where the money is. We make it visible.

We're CPI Technologies from Frankfurt, building software since 2017. For companies whose numbers are scattered across the ERP, the shop, accounting, and Excel, we build data pipelines, live dashboards, and AI-powered analysis — from idea to a running system in about 90 days. You'll see where your business stands every morning instead of waiting three weeks for the monthly spreadsheet.

Free and non-binding. In 30 minutes, we'll look at your systems together — and at the questions your data should answer.

Sound familiar?

Still running your business on Excel and gut feeling?

Your company produces data every single day: orders, stock movements, invoices, customer contacts. It just doesn't work for you — it sits in systems that don't talk to each other. So the biggest decisions keep getting made on gut feel.

The monthly report eats days — and it's stale on arrival.

  • Every month, someone copies numbers from the ERP, the shop, and accounting into a spreadsheet.
  • It takes days — and every copy-paste is a potential error.
  • By the time the report is done, it describes the past. You can't steer with that.

Every system only knows its own slice.

  • Inventory, shop, CRM, and accounting know nothing about each other.
  • Nobody can tell you at a glance which customer is profitable or which product eats your margin.
  • The answer exists — spread across four systems and a dozen spreadsheets.

Problems only surface once they've cost money.

  • A product's margin slips, a key account has been ordering less for weeks.
  • Inventory value creeps up quietly — tying up more and more capital.
  • You find out weeks later in the monthly financials — always too late to react.

What we build

What we build for companies sitting on dormant data

Always with the same goal: raw data turning into decisions — not into even more spreadsheets.

Management dashboard

Revenue, margin, cash position, and open invoices live in one view — on your laptop and your phone. You open one dashboard in the morning instead of five systems and three spreadsheets.

Data pipelines & a single source of truth

We connect your ERP, shop, CRM, and accounting into one data foundation that updates itself. Your systems stay exactly as they are — they finally just talk to each other.

Automated reporting

Monthly, customer, and product reports that generate themselves and arrive on time — for you, your bank, or your advisory board. Without anyone copy-pasting a single cell.

AI analysis & forecasts

Sales forecasts, anomalies flagged in your numbers, questions asked in plain language: "Which customers are at risk of churning?" AI analysis on your own data — not the internet's. Once the data foundation is in place, this is a step, not another project.

Real-time monitoring & alerts

The system speaks up when a metric tips: margin below target, stock levels critical, a key account's revenue dropping. You hear about it the same day — not in next month's report.

Access rights & roles

Roles control who sees which numbers: sales sees their customers, management sees everything. Hosted in the EU, GDPR-compliant, on accounts owned by your company.

Integrations

Your systems stay — your numbers come together

The difference between yet another tool and a data platform: it picks your numbers up automatically wherever they're created today — and merges them into one data foundation that keeps itself up to date.

How it works

From scattered numbers to a live dashboard in 90 days

No data-strategy slide decks, no never-ending project. Three steps, each with a clear deliverable — all at a fixed price.

Step 1 · Weeks 1–2

Data audit: see what you've got first

  • In the free 30-minute potential analysis, we pin down which questions your data should answer — and which systems hold it today: ERP, shop, accounting, Excel.
  • You then receive a written scope, a fixed price, and a launch date.
  • If your data can't answer the questions that matter yet, we'll tell you straight — before any money changes hands.

Step 2 · Weeks 3–9

Weekly cycles to pipeline and dashboard

  • Within days, the first dashboard runs on your real numbers — no months-long data project before you see anything.
  • Behind it, we build the pipelines that pull the ERP, shop, and accounting together automatically.
  • Every Friday, you review the latest build in your browser and decide which analysis comes next.

Step 3 · Weeks 10–13

Test with your team, then start deciding

  • For four weeks, the people who need the numbers daily work with the system.
  • We check every metric against figures you already trust — your monthly financials, for instance. Only when everything matches do we roll it out.
  • After that we keep running the system for you — a full handover is possible anytime, and the code and data are 100% yours.

What you get out of it

What actually changes for you

A system that turns dormant data into an instrument you steer with.

Decisions from numbers, not gut feel

Pricing, purchasing, staffing, ad budget: you decide based on numbers that were current this morning — not a hunch and a three-week-old spreadsheet. And you see immediately whether a decision is working.

A team that works instead of copy-pastes

Reports build themselves and land in the right inboxes automatically. The days your team used to spend stitching spreadsheets together every month flow back into the business — and the copy-paste errors disappear along with them.

The foundation for whatever you do with AI next

The most common reason AI projects fail isn't bad models — it's bad data. With clean pipelines in place, sales forecasts, automated analysis, and AI assistants become the next step instead of a fresh start.

The comparison

Why a CPI data platform — and not just another tool

An off-the-shelf BI tool shows charts — connecting your systems cleanly is still your problem. Your own data team is expensive and hard to find. Our approach: a data platform built around your logic, by people who have shipped software since 2017.

Common questions

What business owners ask before a data project

Our data lives in an aging ERP, Excel files, and the shop backend. Can you even connect all that?

Yes — that's the normal case, not the exception. We connect modern systems via APIs, older ones via database access or automated exports; even hand-maintained Excel files can be ingested. The important part: your systems stay exactly as they are. We don't replace anything or force new software on anyone — the pipeline picks the data up wherever it's created today.

Where does the data live — and what about GDPR?

Hosting is in the EU, GDPR-compliant, on accounts owned by your company. Access rights control who sees what: sales sees their customers, management sees everything. You get a full breakdown of every service in use and its running costs at any time — there's no lock-in only we can undo. And personal data is handled by the same rules as your accounting: as little access as possible, as much as necessary.

Honestly, our data quality is a mess. Is this still worth it?

Especially then. No company we know has perfect data — duplicates, empty fields, and creative Excel formats come with the territory. The data audit in week one shows what your data can already answer and where the gaps are. We start with the analyses that are possible now, and quality grows from there: once numbers are visible and decisions depend on them, in our experience they start getting maintained properly all by themselves.

How can the price be fixed if you don't know what our data looks like?

That's exactly why the project starts with a data audit: in the free Potential Analysis and the first two weeks, we look at your systems before we commit. You then receive a written scope, a fixed price, and a launch date — once you sign, that number doesn't move, no matter how many hours we put in. Anything extra later gets its own quote.

Who ends up owning the dashboards, pipelines, and data?

You do — 100%. The source code, the database, all credentials, and the hosting and service accounts run under your company's name. We keep running the system long after launch, but a complete handover with documentation is possible at any time: if you never hire us again, you're not missing a thing. Your data was always yours — that doesn't change.

You build with AI. Can I trust the numbers?

For us, AI speeds up writing code — not making decisions. The data model, architecture, and reviews are handled by a human with nearly ten years of experience, and data projects get one extra check that matters more than any line of code: during the test phase, we reconcile every metric against figures you already trust — your monthly financials, for instance. Only when both match does the system go live.
