Report Automation in Durham
Automating reporting for Durham organisations, with one question worth asking before automating anything: who reads it. A great deal of scheduled reporting arrives in inboxes nobody opens, and automating its production makes an unread report cheaper to produce rather than making anyone better informed.
Why this comes up
The problem
Forty scheduled reports go out weekly, and nobody knows which of them anyone actually opens.
What you get
What we deliver
- Readership measured before automation, so effort goes where it is used
- Reports retired where the answer is that nobody reads them
- Generation and distribution automated for the ones that survive
- Failures alerted, since a report that stops arriving is rarely chased
- Exception-based delivery where a report only matters when something changed
- Definitions documented, so recipients know what the figures mean

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Report Automation in Durham — common questions
- How do we find out who reads them?
- Measure opens, or stop sending one and see who asks. The second is blunt and remarkably informative — reports that have been produced for years frequently turn out to have no current reader, and nobody notices their absence.
- Is exception-based delivery better?
- For monitoring, considerably. A report saying everything is normal trains people to ignore it, whereas one that arrives only when a threshold is crossed gets read — the same data, delivered on the occasions when it changes a decision.
- What happens when a scheduled report fails?
- Usually nothing. Recipients assume it is late, then forget, and the failure goes unnoticed for weeks — which is why the alert should go to whoever owns the report rather than depending on someone missing it.
- Should definitions be included?
- Yes, at least by reference. Recipients interpret figures according to what they assume the words mean, and a report circulating without stating whether revenue includes VAT or whether a count is as at month end invites confident misreading. It also settles the recurring argument where two reports disagree because each counted something slightly different.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
