Decision-makers & SMEs · Business Intelligence · KPIs
From the Excel sheet to Business Intelligence: the indicators that matter, in front of you.
We turn your Excel files into readable dashboards, after choosing with you the few indicators (KPIs) that really shed light on your decisions. For small and medium-sized businesses across Europe, from our offices in Toulouse and Montpellier or by video.
A good dashboard answers a decision.
We start from the decisions you take every week, define the indicators that shed light on them, then build the dashboard on your real data.
The signs that your figures no longer help you decide.
- Ten tabs, three versions The file circulates by email, everyone keeps their own copy and nobody knows which one is the reference.
- The figures arrive too late The monthly review takes hours to prepare by hand, and the decision is made a month late.
- Everyone has their own calculation Revenue, margin or a late payment are not defined the same way from one department to another.
- Lots of figures, few indicators You see everything, but not what needs action this week.
Chosen KPIs, reliable data, then a dashboard.
We don’t start with a tool. A dashboard built on fuzzy figures makes mistakes more visible, not more accurate. Order matters: decisions, indicators, data, then tool.
- Choose the decisions and the KPIs Which decisions do you take every week? For each one, we select a small number of indicators and write them down: definition, formula, source, frequency, owner.
- Make the sources reliable We clean up your Excel files and data entry, or connect them to your tools (invoicing, CRM, accounting). If you don’t have a CRM yet, we set one up and transfer your data so that the figures are the same everywhere.
- Build the dashboard We model your data and create simple views by role, with Power BI or an open solution such as Metabase, depending on your needs and your budget.
- Refresh and keep it alive Refreshing is automated, your team is trained, and the indicators evolve with your business.
Indicators by role, not one more table.
- Owner Revenue against target, margin, cash a few weeks ahead, concentration on the main customers.
- Sales Open opportunities, conversion rate, follow-up time, breakdown of revenue by customer.
- Operations Processing times, delays, error rate, workload per person.
- Administration and finance Overdue invoices, average payment time, gaps between budget and actuals.
Start with the right indicators, then build.

Before you book.
Do we have to give up Excel?
No. Excel can stay your data-entry tool. We make it reliable or connect it to a database, then the dashboard reads that data. The aim is for the figures to be right and shared, not to change your habits for the sake of it.
Does it have to be Power BI?
No. Power BI is a common choice, but sharing reports across a team requires a paid licence. Depending on your budget and your data constraints, open solutions such as Metabase or Apache Superset may be enough. We compare them with you before choosing.
How many indicators should we track?
Fewer than you think. We select a few indicators per role, each tied to a decision. An indicator that nobody uses is removed.
Where do you work?
H-Box has offices in Toulouse and Montpellier and supports small and medium-sized businesses across Europe, on site depending on the scope and by video. The head office is in Paris, and we also work remotely with businesses in other countries.
Does my data leave the company?
It is hosted in Europe and we agree with you on access and processing. The level of protection depends on the architecture chosen, set out before any deployment.
Does the scoping call commit me to anything?
No. It is free and carries no commitment. Its purpose is to understand your context and suggest the next useful step.
