CAPABILITY · DATA & ANALYTICS

Analytics your team actually opens.

Fractional data and analytics leadership for $5M–$50M operating businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but cannot justify a full data team — DTC brands ready for cohort analytics, multi-unit operators that need same-store and unit-economics views, manufacturers wiring SKU-level margin. The dashboards, the warehouse, the discipline of working from one number.

01 / What we actually do

6 plays under one capability.

Data & Analytics is rarely one job. Engagements typically braid two or three sub-offers, led by the partner with the most relevant operating experience.

01

Single source of truth

One warehouse, one numbers definition, one report. Stop the spreadsheet sprawl.

02

Executive dashboards

The five numbers leadership looks at every morning. Maintained automatically.

03

Channel & cohort analytics

For DTC, hospitality, multi-unit healthcare — the unit-economics view that drives decisions.

04

Margin & SKU profitability

Real margin by SKU, by channel, by customer. Down to landed cost.

05

Forecasting & scenario modeling

Model the next 12 months at the level needed for capital decisions.

06

Data team hiring

When you outgrow fractional — the spec, the interviews, the handoff.

05 / Common questions

FAQ.

What stack do you build on?

Sector-appropriate. Often BigQuery / dbt / Hex or Looker for $20M+ operating businesses. Simpler stacks for smaller scale.

How long does a "single source of truth" project take?

8–16 weeks to ship the first version. Then ongoing maintenance / extension.

Can Putra & Co own this on retainer?

Yes — many clients keep us as fractional analytics leadership for 12–24 months while the function matures.

Who leads this capability?

Matt Putra and Leandro D'Elia, with sector-specific support from the partner who leads your industry.

Does this replace a full-time data hire?

For most $5–50M operating businesses, yes. Above that we typically transition to hiring permanent staff.
