WHY ODS

In a world driven by data, true performance management goes beyond numbers and systems—it starts with people. Our integrated BPM ecosystem brings together the robust planning capabilities of IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) and the dynamic storytelling power of Power BI to create tools that are not only powerful, but deeply human.

We design experiences that make complex forecasting feel simple, reporting more collaborative, and decision-making more intuitive. Because when technology supports real human understanding, performance doesn’t just improve—it transforms.

Hence our slogan, Humanising Performance Management

our X-FACTOR

  • Insights, Not Spreadsheets

    Our discovery sessions and diagnostics identify true operational pain points with key end users at the table.

  • Technology that adapts to you.

    We use RPA, AI agents and other technologies to integrate the right tools and customise models for the client's workflow and unique business needs.

  • Clarity Over Clutter

    We let our tools do the heavy lifting by building dynamic, user-friendly reports and visualizations, giving more focus on analysis – not compiling.

  • Confidence at every step

    Our training sessions, on-demand tutorials, and coaching turn reluctant users into confident analysts.

CLIENTS

“Our variance analysis report was excel-driven and extremely tedious as we needed to produce between 60 and 80 reports on a monthly basis. ODS Consulting created such a fluid Planning Analytics Workspace report, it allows me to focus more on analysing data trends than on compiling the report and has saved us 3 days in the process, allowing us to meet our very tight Group Reporting deadlines”.

“ODS Consulting resuscitated our manpower model that was difficult to navigate due to its original design. ODS Consulting redesigned and streamlined the model, involving me on the progress every step of the way. This made it a lot easier to understand the updated manpower model with very little training, now I am excited to see what more can TM1 do.”
