Why Hopton

Built for clarity,
without compromise.

Decision-first approach

We define success in business terms before writing a single line of DAX or SQL. Every metric traces back to a decision that matters.

Governed from day one

Certified datasets, defined metrics, and role-based access baked into the architecture - not bolted on at the end.

Fixed price, fixed scope

No timesheets, no scope creep. You know exactly what you're getting, when you're getting it, and what it will cost.

Specialists, not generalists

Every consultant works exclusively in data and analytics. Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Azure. One stack. Deep expertise.

Proven in practice

Trusted data.
Measurable outcomes.

Governed analytics delivery for UK organisations since 2021.

Structured delivery

The Analytics Acceleration Programme

A programme-based approach to building and maintaining analytics that organisations can rely on over time. Three stages, clear governance, predictable progress.

Establish

Bringing analytics into a healthy, trusted state

Agree metrics and definitions. Improve reliability and trust in reporting. Reduce manual workarounds and spreadsheets. Establish clarity on priorities and ownership.

↳ One agreed set of metrics across the business

Build

Moving analytics forward deliberately

Expand reporting into new areas. Improve models, data structures or platforms. Deliver step-change capability aligned to business priorities. Planned, time-bound and governed.

↳ New governed reports live and adopted within weeks, not months

Continuity

Keeping analytics aligned as the business changes

Refine metrics as the business evolves. Maintain data quality and usability. Respond to change without repeated restarts. Protect confidence and prevent gradual decay.

↳ Analytics that stays trusted as your business evolves

What clients say

Relied on by UK organisations

“Hopton Analytics are a fantastic partner for us. Our problem was extracting data in Power BI from NetSuite, and on our very first call, they'd achieved just this! From then on, they showed us that they could understand not only technical problems, but business and finance problems too. We continue to recommend Hopton Analytics to anyone looking to elevate their analytics.”

Adrian Goodman

Founder and Director, PPX Consulting

“Hopton Analytics did a fantastic job with our Power BI reporting pack. For us, it's about having sight of the data to help us make key business decisions and allow the consultants to take ownership of their own metrics. Would we recommend Hopton? Absolutely, yes!”
