For CFOs, finance leads and owners
Steering the business starts with the decision, not with the tool. We make your company's performance measurable: KPIs, management reporting and a data platform, delivered in stages, with a first result within weeks.
“We make sure the right decision-making information reaches you at the right time, in the right format.”Philipp Kempter, Founder
Why Digital Controlling
The classic: the business states a need, IT builds a solution — and the two don’t match. Not out of bad will, but because the translation is missing. That is exactly where projects emerge that burn budget and deliver no value.
Stalled BI projects, reporting setups that don’t deliver, pressure from the board or investors: our terrain. We speak both languages — controlling and technology — and need little run-up: access to the data, a few focused conversations, and we get to work.
We won’t sell you a year-long project organisation. We start with a small package that delivers first measurable value in under a month — and build from there, step by step, stoppable at any point.
How we start
| Entry point | For whom | Duration and price | What you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scoping Sprint | New initiatives | 2–3 weeks, from CHF 8,000 | Target picture, architecture and tool decision, staffing plan and budget estimate — in writing, decision-ready and independent of whether you build with us afterwards. |
| Project Review | Running projects that have stalled | A few days, from CHF 4,000 | Review of scope, architecture and team. We name the causes and deliver a written second opinion with concrete measures — before more budget is burned. |
| Reporting Review | Existing reporting that does not carry decisions | A few days, from CHF 4,000 | Review of report set, KPIs and data model: what is used, what is missing, what contradicts itself. Written findings with a cut list and prioritised measures — including a recommendation on redesign versus rebuild. |

Fixed prices excl. VAT. We set the price after the intro call; it depends on scope — such as the number of source systems, entities and stakeholders.

From our work
Starting point: Revenue and workforce KPIs were spread across 8 source systems — with no single group view.
Delivered: Analytics platform on Microsoft Fabric, all 8 sources connected, KPI model through to the Swiss GAAP FER view.
Result: First productive reports within a few weeks — the platform has grown package by package since.
Starting point: SAP and finance data did not feed into a shared reporting system.
Delivered: Unified management reporting — from data model to the executive report set.
Result: A signed-off set of numbers as the shared basis for executive management.
Starting point: Reporting ran on grown Excel files — transport statistics, revenue and staff figures compiled by hand, each department with its own lists.
Delivered: Company-wide rollout of Power BI: one data model across dispatch, finance and HR — KPIs from revenue per trip and kilometres driven to utilisation and absence days.
Result: One reporting for all areas instead of Excel islands — management steers with the same figures as dispatch.
Unnamed for confidentiality — we are happy to walk you through details and further references in person.
Digital Controlling is a deliberately lean specialist boutique — and works with an established network of specialists in data engineering, BI, data platforms and automation. You have one dedicated point of contact; when your project needs more capacity or an additional profile, we bring the right person on board — or place them with you directly.
