One set of numbers for finance and operations, without consultants.
Finance has their numbers. Operations and sales have their own. Nobody agrees, because nobody is pulling from the same place. Reconciliation happens in Excel, after hours, by the same two people every quarter.
We hear some version of this in almost every first call. Databasin gives the whole company one set of numbers and lets the people who need them ask their own questions. You don’t need a consultant, a stack of six tools or an 18-month project to get there.

Three people it helps
Between $350M and $1B in revenue, most companies pay for a data setup built for a much larger business, and it still can’t answer everyday questions quickly. Here’s who feels it.
Which revenue number is the real one?
One definition of revenue, margin and headcount, used everywhere. The board report becomes a live Data App instead of a deck rebuilt from four exports the night before.
Where are we losing margin this month?
They ask in plain English and get the chart with the query behind it. Routine questions skip the analyst queue and the consultant.
Why is my best engineer on call for someone else’s schema change?
Being on call for other teams’ schema changes wears out your best engineers. We maintain the connectors, and pipelines adapt when a vendor changes something, so that time comes back.
The same problem in four industries
Financial services: regulator reports without the scramble
Regional banks, credit unions, insurers and wealth managers assemble regulator reports from five systems by hand. With one governed copy of the data, the report is built from the same governed data every time, and an audit request is a query with its lineage attached instead of a two-week scramble.
Construction: job profitability across every project
Procore, Sage and Viewpoint each hold a piece of the job. Executives get job cost against estimate, labor and equipment use across the whole portfolio, and a forecast that doesn’t break when a project manager leaves.
Consumer goods: demand signals while they still matter
Retailer sell-through, distributor feeds and your own inventory, side by side and on time. Trade promotion ROI becomes something you can calculate, because sales and spend finally live in the same place.
Higher education: enrollment and retention in one place
SIS, CRM, financial aid and advancement data in one place, so Institutional Research spends its time on analysis and the at-risk student gets flagged while there’s still time to help.
What the usual stack costs
Every tool in the stack was bought for a good reason. Together they cost more than any one of them is worth, and the licenses are only the visible part. Engineering hours go into keeping the tools connected, and decisions wait on data. That waiting never shows up on an invoice, but it’s a real cost.
Databasin bills compute by the minute, with no seats and no annual commit. You can see the meter, and a stopped cluster costs nothing, so the bill tracks how much your team actually uses it.
Switch over gradually, at your own pace
Most companies don’t consolidate because every past attempt was a rip-and-replace that created more risk than it removed. Databasin is additive. You layer it on, prove it out, then retire the tools it replaces.
- Connect beside what you runHosted, or on top of the Databricks, Snowflake or Fabric you already pay for. Nothing gets turned off.
- Prove it on one reportPick the report that hurts most. Rebuild it as a live Data App on the same numbers.
- Hand people the answersFinance and operations ask Databasin One directly. Agents write the weekly summaries.
- Retire tools at renewalEach one goes when it’s no longer doing anything, on your schedule.
The last step usually takes months, because it follows your renewal dates. We’d rather you switch a tool off once you’re sure than rush it.
Bring your Power BI reports with you
Upload a Power BI report and Data Apps rebuilds it as a live app on your governed tables, with the calculations translated and a list of anything it couldn’t carry over. People open it with a link, see the numbers their access allows, and ask for changes in plain English.
For the work that repeats, an agent reads the numbers on a schedule and posts the summary to Teams, Slack or email, with the query behind every figure.
The monthly report, as a live app instead of a spreadsheet.
For your data engineersHow it’s builtDatabasin SailThe lakehouse75+ connectors
Every mid-market organization we talk to has the same problem: they’ve been told they need an enterprise data stack, quoted an enterprise price, and handed an 18-month timeline. We built Databasin to make that conversation obsolete.
