Data analytics by industry: different software, the same work underneath

A hotel runs on a property management system, an online gaming operator on a player platform, an insurer on a policy administration system. Each is built for its sector, and the questions leadership asks sit between that software and everything around it. For companies in Malta, 110 Analytics joins the data from that software and the systems around it in one warehouse in your own account, settles one meaning for each figure with your team, and builds the reporting on top.

The short answerCan 110 Analytics work with a company in my industry?

Yes, if your business in Malta runs several systems and needs one set of figures across them. The method does not depend on the sector: an audit of where each figure comes from, one warehouse in your own account, definitions agreed with your team, then dashboards and scheduled reports, kept current by a fractional data team. Hospitality, iGaming and insurance each have a page of their own.

01The problem

Specialist software, general questions

Each sector has software built around its own work, and it reports well on what it holds. A hotel's property management system knows rooms and stays; an operator's player platform knows deposits and play; an insurer's policy system knows cover and renewals.

Around it sit the general systems: the accounts, payroll, a CRM and the spreadsheets that fill the gaps. Each was bought for one job, often years apart. The business they serve is still one business, and leadership needs to be able to run it as one.

The questions that decide things are rarely about one system. Which customers, products or channels make money once every cost is counted? What does a team cost against what it brings in? Answering them means putting the specialist system beside the general ones, work that falls between suppliers because each looks after its own system.

02What we do

Sectors with a page of their own

Each page is written in that sector's terms: its systems, the figures that cause arguments, the questions that cross systems, and a worked example traced from question to answer.

Why not use the dashboards inside our industry software?

Keep using them. The reports inside a sector system are often the right tool for the people who work in it all day.

They can only show what that one system holds, though. A question that also needs payroll, the accounts or the CRM has to be answered where those sources sit together: the warehouse, loaded overnight from each of them. From there, leadership can see the whole company on one screen, a Command Centre, instead of one system at a time.

Because the warehouse sits in your own account, the reporting stays with you if you change a system or a supplier later. None of it is tied to your sector software's supplier.

03In practice

What changes from one sector to another

Four things change: the specialist systems, the figures that need one meaning, the questions that cross systems, and the data that needs the most care. The method underneath stays the same.

One family group, two sectors

Illustrative example. A fictional family group, not a client.

Picture a family group in Malta that owns a seafront hotel and a company that lets apartments. The hotel runs a property management system and tills; the property company keeps its lettings in a CRM and a spreadsheet. Both share one accounting system and one payroll provider. The directors ask which business makes more once shared staff and costs are split fairly.

Before
  • Each business brings its own monthly report, in its own format and on its own timetable.
  • Shared finance and maintenance staff are split between the two by hand, differently each month.
  • The two businesses are compared on instinct, because their figures are not on one basis.
After
  • Both businesses' systems, the shared accounts and payroll load each night into a warehouse the group owns.
  • Each keeps its own measures: occupancy and covers for the hotel, units let and empty days for the property company.
  • Shared costs follow allocation rules the directors agreed once, so the split is the same every month.
  • The group view opens with the total, then one page per business.

Neither business changed a system. The directors now compare the two on one basis, in the terms each one already uses.

04How it works

How it starts, in any sector

  1. Strategy callThirty minutes with Glen, free and without a pitch deck. Bring your sector, the systems you run and the question that keeps coming back.
  2. Data auditAbout three hours with the people who hold the figures. Glen maps the specialist system, the general ones and every report built by hand between them, and the audit closes with a quote.
  3. BuildRead access to each agreed system, nightly loads, records matched across systems and definitions settled with your team. Allow three to four weeks between an accepted quote and the first live dashboard.
  4. Fractional data teamSenior people stay on to keep the loads, the model and the reports current as your systems change. Larger projects can draw on our partner network.

What we do not do, in any sector

  • We do not sell, implement or support sector software, or any other business system.
  • We give no legal or financial advice, and no technical advice on your sector's own software.
  • We do not write anything back into the systems we read.
  • We do not take your data into our custody. The warehouse is in your account.
  • Your IT support carries on as it does today.

05Questions and terms

Straight answers

Our sector is not on the list. Can you still help?

Yes. The audit finds out how each of your systems can be read, whatever software your sector uses, and the call is where to check fit.

Do you need to know our industry software already?

We need to know how its data can be read, and the audit establishes that system by system. How the software is set up and run stays with its supplier or your administrator.

Who is this for?

Established companies in Malta, typically with a turnover of roughly €1M to €10M a year, several systems and a monthly pack that has outgrown spreadsheets. We can cater to any company size.

Will we have to change our systems?

No. Your systems and the suppliers behind them stay as they are. The warehouse works from copies of their data, held in your own account.

Which reporting tools do you use?

Power BI where the company works in Microsoft 365, Looker Studio where it works in Google Workspace. The definitions are kept in the warehouse, so either tool shows the same figures.

What does it cost?

The data audit closes with a quote. What moves the price most is the number of systems to join and the matching each one needs. Running costs for the warehouse go on your own cloud provider's bill.
