Analysis for everyday business decisions
We help managers investigate performance using operating records alongside financial figures. Our team connects the sources, works through the definitions and builds the analysis, then automates its recurring preparation.
Operations, finance and company leaders learn to use the result alongside their existing systems. They can follow a question beyond the initial totals, examine the records together and decide how to respond.

Security for business data
Databasin gives your team controls for who can use business data and records of how they use it.
Access
Your organization manages the identities people use to sign in. Data permissions apply to their work, and investigation agents have read-only access to production sources.
Regulated data
For work involving PHI or HR data, our team helps your security reviewers examine the requirements. Databasin is HIPAA-ready, with a BAA available.
Where data sits
You can use our hosted service, run Databasin in your Azure environment or use it alongside Databricks, Snowflake or Microsoft Fabric.
Audit
An answer comes with its SQL for review. Your team can also examine query logs and lineage to understand the data behind it.
Support for the people running the business
Operations leaders
Operations can trace a performance change to a project or site. We connect the activity records that managers need to investigate the movement and discuss their next step.
Finance teams
Finance can examine what changed before presenting its figures. We connect records from other departments and automate repeated calculations so analysts can spend the review explaining the result.
Company leadership
Leaders can follow a company plan across departments. We build shared views and plain-language analysis that let them investigate a question beyond the figures in the first summary.
The systems behind the work
Finance and ERP systems
Workday, SAP and NetSuite are among the sources we connect for financial and operating records used in management analysis.
Customer and sales systems
We prepare customer activity from Salesforce, HubSpot and other sources, including the relationships operating teams need to analyze it alongside their own records.
Databases and files
We read additional business records through databases, files and APIs, preparing the information that a recurring review needs from outside the main applications.

FAQ
What do we need internally if we do not have a data team?
You need people who understand the business process and can help establish access to the relevant systems. Databasin can provide the platform, implementation and ongoing operation. We agree who owns the measures, who uses the result and how issues will reach the people able to resolve them.
Can you help when we know the problem but not the solution?
Yes. Design starts with the business problem, its current cost and the improvement you want to make. We map how the work runs with the people involved, then determine where data, AI or a workflow change would help. You do not need a finished technical specification to begin the conversation.
Can we use Databasin without an Azure environment?
Yes. Databasin offers hosting for companies that do not have their own Azure environment. We establish access to the source records during implementation and include the required setup. Ongoing operation can also sit with Databasin; we agree that arrangement with your team as part of planning the work.
What if different teams use the same term differently?
We establish what each team means before using the term in a calculation. A completed project in operations may still be open in finance, for example. The analysis should show those as distinct events. With that distinction visible, users can understand both measures and the reason their totals differ.
How would our existing analyst work with Databasin?
Your analyst helps define the measures and check the records, then uses the prepared data to investigate questions. We examine the preparation they repeat and identify what can be automated. Databasin handles the implementation and agreed support, while the analyst's knowledge continues to inform the calculations and interpretation.
What happens when we add another department or business system?
We extend the relevant analysis or workflow after examining the new team's process and data. That may involve new source relationships or definitions, with existing preparation reused where it fits. We also plan training and rollout for the additional users and agree how the expanded work will be operated.
