Our Unique Data Transformation Process
Your Journey to Becoming Data-Driven
We guide businesses through the four stages of data maturity:
1. Data Naive
Limited data collection with manual processes
Like driving without a map - relying solely on instinct and past experience, often taking wrong turns and facing unexpected roadblocks.
2. Data Aware
Collecting data but not using it effectively
Like having a paper map in your car but rarely consulting it - you have the information but don't regularly use it to plan your route or avoid known problems.
3. Data Informed
Using data to support some decisions
Like using GPS for important trips - you consult data for major decisions but still rely on intuition for day-to-day operations, occasionally missing opportunities for better routes.
4. Data Driven
Data integrated into all aspects of decision-making
Like autonomous driving with real-time GPS - your systems automatically adapt to changing conditions, proactively suggest optimal paths, and continuously learn from each journey to improve future performance.
Theory of Constraints: Maximizing Business Value
We apply the Theory of Constraints to identify and eliminate the most critical bottlenecks in your organization, focusing on projects with the highest potential for increasing ROI.
Why This Matters:
The Theory of Constraints teaches us that any system's performance is limited by its weakest link or constraint. By systematically identifying and addressing these constraints, we can help your organization achieve dramatic improvements with minimal resources.
Think of your business as a chain: strengthening any link except the weakest one doesn't increase the chain's overall strength. Similarly, we focus our data analytics efforts precisely where they'll create the most significant impact.
Real-World Example:
For a retail client, we discovered their inventory management was the critical constraint. Rather than upgrading their entire IT infrastructure, we created a targeted analytics solution for inventory optimization. The result? A 32% reduction in stockouts and a 24% decrease in excess inventory, delivering a 400% ROI within six months - all from focusing on the one constraint that mattered most.

PG Living
Real Estate Investment Firm
"We are a small real estate company specializing in flipping houses. Previously, we had a manual process for assigning costs to projects. JDS wrote a VBA routine that automated the process, saving me at least 5 hours a week.
Once the process matured, JDS then helped me create a dashboard to track spending by project and forecast revenue and expenses. With the dashboard in place, they began automating the process for estimating the "best offer" using a proprietary formula and calculator.
Now, they are helping me streamline my project management tasks. I can't wait to see what value they unlock next!"
