How we build dashboards that actually get used
Most organizations face the same challenge: How do you transform raw data into clear, actionable insights? At DDBM, we believe that dashboards are more than pretty graphs. They are the catalyst for better decisions, greater collaboration and real change in your organization.
Dashboards that do work: Built for People, Designed for Action
The best insights arise when data comes alive for the people who use it. Our approach puts the end user at the center. We start with a clear strategy and design for maximum adoption so that each dashboard becomes an indispensable tool that informs and drives growth.
We do it differently:
Before we create even one graphic, we first understand what you really need. We take the time to fully understand what's going on:
- What are your business goals?
- Who are the stakeholders and what do they need?
- What insights are critical for better decisions?
- Where are the technical and organizational challenges?
This strategic phase is where we do most of the thinking. We define clear priorities, set realistic deadlines and ensure that scope, resources and expectations are aligned. The result? A solid foundation that ensures smooth execution and fewer surprises along the way.
Every successful dashboard project needs a clear, transparent approach. Our delivery model balances speed with alignment:
- Phased development: We work in manageable phases with clear milestones, so you always know where you stand.
- Regular demos: Showing what we make often keeps us focused on what is really needed and prevents us from going in the wrong direction.
- Active collaboration: Whether it's daily standups, milestone reviews or shared documentation - we keep you closely involved in the process.
Even on shorter projects, we invest time in structured intake. By asking the right questions and getting expectations clear, we can deliver valuable tools quickly and efficiently.
The world's most beautiful dashboard is useless if no one uses it. That's why we focus not only on development, but also on adoption. Our job doesn't end with the delivery of a dashboard - that's just the beginning.
- Community & culture: We help set up internal user groups where people can learn from each other, share knowledge and ask questions.
- Gamification & engagement: Through playful challenges and challenges, we make data analysis more interesting and encourage active participation.
- Developing Champions: We identify and develop internal experts who can act as ambassadors and drive adoption in their teams.
- Customized training: From beginners to advanced - everyone receives training that matches their level and their specific role.
- Hands-on coaching: Where possible, we combine development with coaching, so internal teams can immediately watch and learn as we work.
Our goal is not to take over your reports forever. We want your team to become independent and grow. That's why we take a consultative approach:
- Choosing the right tools: We look not only at what is needed now, but also at where your organization is growing.
- Sustainable data structures: We help set up systems that can scale as your data and organization grow.
- Guiding change: We guide teams through transition and help overcome resistance and challenges.
- Knowledge transfer: Through documentation, training and hands-on coaching, we ensure that internal knowledge is built.
Our value is not just in the technical side. We are consultants who ask not just "What do you want to see?" but "What are you trying to solve?" Then we guide teams to practical, manageable solutions.

Frequently asked questions
(and the answers)
DDBM helps organizations make better decisions with their data. We design and build the modern data infrastructure (the Modern Data Stack) needed to bring together data from different sources. Whether it's a clear data strategy or full technical realization: we make sure your data becomes reliable, accessible and directly usable for smart decision-making.
Traditional data systems are often slow, inflexible and expensive to maintain. A Modern Data Stack, with tools like Snowflake, dbt and Fivetran, is flexible, scalable and cloud-native. This allows you to respond much faster to change, reduces operational costs and lays the foundation for advanced applications such as Artificial Intelligence.
We believe in the power of smart technology. DDBM deploys advanced AI tools to automate repetitive tasks in the development process, such as writing code or documenting data. This means we can deliver projects faster than traditional parties without compromising on quality.
We do both. A strategy is only valuable if it works in practice. We support the entire process: from tool selection and architecture to the actual technical construction of the dashboards and data platforms. With us, strategy and execution go hand in hand.
With us, AI is a tool, never the end-all-be-all. Every line of code and data model generated using AI is checked by our senior experts against our quality standard. This rigorous quality control ensures that the solution is robust, secure and future-proof.
We don't build one-off gimmicks, but sustainable systems. By working with market standards and modular technology, your data environment remains flexible. Moreover, we transfer our knowledge to your team, so that you do not remain dependent on us after delivery, but remain in control. The alternative is that we take care of the management of the data platform, so that you can focus on your core business.
We work on the basis of short lines of communication and complete transparency. We start with an inventory of your goals and translate this into a concrete plan. During the implementation we work in clear steps with fixed check-ins. This way we keep the momentum going, we adjust where necessary and you always know exactly where you stand.
Thanks to our standardised approach and the use of proven scripts and AI accelerators, we can often show initial results within just a few weeks. For acute issues, we can usually shift gears within a week and start the first phase of implementation.
Yes. If you need extra capacity temporarily, you can hire our BI specialists and Data Engineers. Our people bring not only their hours, but also the pooled knowledge and standards of all of DDBM. This way, you instantly strengthen the quality of your own internal data team.
We offer clarity upfront. For extra capacity (staff augmentation) we work with transparent rates based on experience. For defined results (projects), we offer a fixed or estimated project price, depending on the situation. This way we avoid surprises afterwards and focus on what really matters: delivering value for your organisation.
With acute data issues, speed is crucial. If we have the right expertise available, we can often shift gears and get started within a week.
