DataLabs

DataLabs is a business intelligence consultancy that turns company data into reports, analyses and visual dashboards. Its work centres on Qlik platforms, and it also sells its own developer tool, QOps. Clients include firms that use the team as an outside development arm, with hours arranged to overlap the US working day.

What DataLabs offers

• BI consulting — reviews each business need and answers it with reporting, analysis and data-modelling work.
• Data pipelines — builds combined tools that pull data from many sources, clean it, analyse it and present it visually.
• QOps — a console tool running in PowerShell that extracts source code from QlikView and Qlik Sense documents so it can live in Git.
• CI/CD for Qlik — QOps links to GitLab or GitHub so apps can be built, tested, staged and released to production automatically, with extensions and mashups included.
• Team controls — developers work without direct production access while a team lead decides what ships, and every change stays traceable in the repository.

Who it works with

Qlik developer teams and companies that want better use of large data volumes, including clients in the United States who hire DataLabs as external developers.
