When they first approached us, Draper Tools was struggling with their existing reporting infrastructure. Their previous solution, built by an external agency, was becoming increasingly slow to refresh each night and was proving difficult to maintain.
We spent an initial month working with Draper Tools to replace one of their main reports. We reduced the refresh time from hours each night to just a few minutes, while significantly easing the load on their production system. The new model is clean, intuitive, and easy to amend or extend. Since then, we have delivered further incremental improvements and worked alongside Draper’s business intelligence developer, providing guidance to help him extend and maintain the reporting model independently.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
