The Problem

Small businesses in West Africa collect data in spreadsheets but lack the tools and skills to turn it into actionable insights. Enterprise tools like Tableau are too expensive and complex.

The Solution

A lightweight analytics dashboard that connects to Google Sheets and CSV files, automatically detects patterns, and generates visual reports. Built for non-technical business owners.

The Transformation

Before Build_it

I worked in a family business and saw my parents struggle with spreadsheets every weekend. I knew data could help them but had no idea how to build anything.

After Build_it

DataPulse is now used by 15 small businesses in Accra. I landed a data analyst role at a logistics company — they were impressed that I built something real, not just completed a course.
