Business Analytics

Challenge

Struggling to gain a competitive edge in your business industry?

Startups and SMBs are challenged to identify a competitive advantage to differentiate themselves from their competitors. One way to achieve this differentiation is by collecting and harnessing data to identify opportunities and make smarter decisions. Businesses need to rely on strategic business analytics and intelligence rather than guesswork and emotion in making decisions. As a result, businesses are now collecting more data than ever before. However, this does not always translate into valuable and actionable insights as a business must have the right tools and technologies for collecting and visualising data.

What's the Solution?

To help transform data into intelligence and insights, a business needs to develop a framework which answers the questions such as what has happened (descriptive analysis), the root cause behind it (diagnostic analysis), what might happen in the future (predictive analysis) and what should be done about it (prescriptive analysis). FirstLink provides a full-service business analytics solution which includes hardware, software, and data experts to help management understand their customers, predict purchases and trends, analyse and interpret behavior, and make data driven decisions. It includes:

1
In-Store Analytics

We utilize people counting devices, heat maps, and queue management systems to analyse the in-store visitor traffic, customer movements and patterns, dwells times, waiting times as well as demographic analysis of the gender, age, and moods of
in-store customers.

2
Descriptive Analytics

We help classify, summarize and analyse historic raw data from multiple sources to provide valuable insights into your business performance through visualizations such as tables, pie charts, line graphs, bar charts and other graphical displays.

3
Diagnostic Analytics

We utilize advance statistical, quantitative, and analytical techniques including data mining and regression analysis to find correlation and causation between key variables allowing businesses to answer the question why something happened.

4
Predictive Analytics

We utilize historical data, machine learning, algorithms, artificial intelligence and statistical modelling such as recency, frequency and monetary value to make predictions and provide recommendations about future business outcomes to answer questions related to what might happen in the future.

5
Prescriptive Analytics

We utilize the outcomes and insights derived from descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive analysis to determine best course of action for a given situation or problem.

6
Business Intelligence Dashboard

We utilize dashboards for management to better interpret and understand their overall performance by comparing results against budgets, forecasts and other variables for custom periods such as prior year, month, week or day.

Client Testimonials

Atlantic Tours and Travel Limited

The team at FirstLink has always supported us from inception with our initial company registration providing practical and knowledgeable advice to guide us during the startup process. Fast forward to present – They provide us with both accounting and business advisory services. We feel comfortable and at peace knowing that we can call on Richard and his team at any time day or night to deal with any complex accounting, legal, human resource or business challenge that we’re going through.”

MARIA SEEGOBIN
DIRECTOR, COMMERCIAL - ATLANTIC TOURS & TRAVEL LIMITED

For us, what distinguishes FirstLink from the many accountants we’ve dealt with in the past is their adoption of modern technology to reduce the tedious and administrative processes and their focus on providing clients with not only accounting services but value added advisory and consulting services. As business owners, we’re not necessarily savvy in finance or legal, however, we can always depend on FirstLink for any issue we are facing. We feel like the relationship with FirstLink is more partners for life as oppose to just a client – accountant relationship.

HERO TRINIDAD

The team at FirstLink introduced our business to Xero accounting. It has given us a lot more control over our financial information and for non-accountants; it is extremely easy to use. The Xero Mobile App easily allows us to send invoices to our customers on the go and tracks when the invoices have been viewed by them. I would definitely recommend Xero and FirstLink to anyone looking to implement cloud software to gain real time financial information to improve their business.
