Dunvegan Loyalty Builders: Empowering businesses through data analytics

In an era where data is king, Dunvegan Loyalty Builders, a data analytics company with two decades of experience under its belt, is empowering businesses to harness the true potential of their information.Dunvegan Loyalty Builders has been consulting and training in business intelligence software for 20 years. Their dedicated team of two primarily focuses on data extraction and reporting for small-to-medium sized businesses, including not-for-profits and charities.

"If it takes more than 15 minutes to get updated reports on your operations, there is a better way!” says co-founder Ken Grant.

Having access to data provides immediate payback in productivity, said Grant, and Dunvegan Loyalty Builders has mastered the art of accessing and linking raw data from various sources, creating Interactive Reports tailored to a company's Key Performance Indicators. These reports enable businesses to visualize numbers over time, identify unexpected patterns and explore the reasons behind the results.They’re also automated, instant, accurate and up-to-the-minute—arming businesses with the tools to make informed decisions quickly.

"Managers in accounting, sales, production, inventory, marketing know all too well that the data is there, but it often takes too much time to fit all the pieces together. The solution is likely on all of your business computers: Microsoft Excel!" said Grant.

Dunvegan uses Microsoft Power products, including Power Query, Power Pivot, and Power BI Desktop. Power BI has been evaluated by Gartner to be the top analytics and business intelligence platform since 2019. Grant noted that the knowledge of these tools is scarce locally, which is why Dunvegan is dedicated to teaching them.Dunvegan's commitment to contributing to the tech space is further exemplified by their involvement as a Skills for Hire Atlantic Program Champion.

"We are thrilled that the Skills for Hire Atlantic course is available and that we have been given the opportunity to mentor recent graduates. We can also recommend other resources that will assist the graduates in finding employment,” Ken said.

Program Champions have the opportunity to participate in virtual events, providing participants with sector-specific knowledge and advice. Their involvement also allows participants to develop meaningful connections with established professionals in their field of study.

"We're looking forward to hearing that we helped recent graduates find meaningful employment and it is our honour to be involved as Digital Nova Scotia supports the education of Atlantic Canadians in digital services,” he said.

Dunvegan Loyalty Builders continues to pave the way for businesses to unlock their data's potential, transforming the way they operate and make decisions. As data becomes increasingly integral to business strategies, companies are finding in Dunvegan Loyalty Builders a trusted ally in their data analytics journey.
