You're developing across several sites, but the numbers that tell you which ones are actually making money sit in spreadsheets, emails and systems that don't agree. So calls get made on instinct, and capital stays tied up in marginal sites. We get your numbers into one place so you can see what's working.
It started as a one-day audit, became a build, and runs now as a monthly retainer. Here is how it went, and what it found.
We started with a one-day audit of how the business ran its data. Almost everything, from deal terms and investor conversations to invoices and loan deadlines, lived in email and phone calls across a stack of inboxes. The audit mapped where it all sat and what was slipping.
From the audit we built the fix. A system that reads every email as it lands and pulls out what matters: who owes what, what's due, what was decided, and the dollars attached, all in one running picture of every project.
It runs now on a monthly retainer. Each month we keep the data clean, the reporting current, and flag what needs attention before it bites. Overdue invoices, approaching deadlines, payments that don't match what was approved.
One source instead of guesswork. It flagged a multi-million-dollar loan facility weeks from expiry, in time to act. It caught a six-figure discrepancy on a builder payment before it went out, and surfaced a stack of overdue invoices nobody was tracking.
Same root problem, different trade. A luxury home builder ran invoices, subcontractor procurement, cashflow and compliance across several disconnected systems, with no single source of truth and hours every week lost to re-entering the same numbers by hand. We brought it into one place and automated the worst of the double-handling. Around 60 hours a month of manual work gone, and roughly $66k a year back in the business.
Start with a one-day audit, bring us on monthly, or have a specific build done to a fixed price. Most developers start with the audit.
A one-day look at how you track your sites today, and a written list of what to fix first. Yours to keep, whether you go further with us or not.
Around ten hours of senior data work a month on your reporting and your numbers. Like having a data person on the team, without hiring one full-time.
A bigger custom build on top of the foundation. A site-scoring engine, a profitability dashboard, a reporting rebuild. Fixed price, clear timeline.
By the time you're running several sites, you're generating plenty of useful information. Land values, build costs, sales, margins, what sold and what stalled. The problem is rarely the data itself.
It's that nobody's job is to keep it in order, in one place, and reportable. Senior data work like this has always sat behind a full-time hire or big-firm fees most developers can't justify, so it never happened. The numbers stayed in spreadsheets and the calls got made on gut feel.
That has changed. The tools now make this work deliverable at a price a developer can actually sign off on. Veridicus is built to do exactly that, and right now, almost nobody in the sector is.
We lead with developers because the money riding on each decision is large and the win is obvious. But the same wall hits any growing business with its numbers scattered across spreadsheets and systems, and we build for them just the same.
Before Veridicus I spent years in government IT, systems administration and data analysis. The pattern was the same almost everywhere I worked. Useful data spread across systems that don't talk to each other, and no one whose job is to make it reliable.
Veridicus does that one thing properly. You deal with the senior person doing the work, not an account manager and not a junior. The numbers we report are ones you can take into a decision and stand behind.
Brisbane-based, Australian owned, working with developers across the south-east.
Reports in numbers your team understands, not dashboards nobody opens.
We tell you what's worth doing and what isn't. If the audit is enough on its own, we'll say so.
Scoped work, fixed prices, no surprise invoices. You know the cost before we start.
You own the reports, the data and the pipelines. No lock-in, by policy and by contract.
Documented and built to keep running when one person is on leave.
“Data stack” sounds technical, but it is really just five layers, each one building on the last. The further up you are, the less you lose and the more you can see.
One place that holds everything. The lake is the raw catch-all, every email, document and feed dropped in. The warehouse is the cleaned, organised version you report off.
Your systems wired together so data flows in on its own, instead of someone re-keying the same numbers by hand.
The same number means the same thing everywhere. No more three versions of one report and a meeting about which is right.
Dashboards and reports that show which sites and build types actually make you money, and where your capital is tied up.
Outside data brought in to score a site before you bid, or to flag a risk before it bites. The top of the stack, and it only works once the rest is in place.
Pick your business, developer or not, and set the sliders. This is a conservative, research-backed estimate of what a mature data stack is worth to you, in reclaimed time and in better decisions, for every year you have it or you don't.
Every figure here comes from published research and leans to the cautious end. Time reclaimed starts from the hours your team spends moving numbers by hand, valued at a loaded blended rate of $65 an hour (admin, bookkeeping, operations and project-manager pay plus on-costs), and assumes a good system gives back 35 percent of that time, the low end of the range McKinsey supports. Better decisions is a conservative slice of the value in play each year, anchored to the 4 to 6 percent of project budget that rework from poor data costs in construction, and kept well below it. The five-year figure is a running total stepped up 3 percent a year for growth, not compounded on itself. These are starting points. We tune them to your real numbers in the audit.
