What I Do

How I Help Your Business

Three core services, all aimed at one outcome: numbers you can trust, without the manual work.

Data Cleaning & Prep

Inconsistent store names, duplicate SKUs, mismatched formats across spreadsheets and exports — cleaned and standardised so your reports stop breaking every month.

Python · Pandas · Excel · Power Query

ETL & Automation

Pipelines that pull stock, sales and order data from your POS, spreadsheets or APIs, then load it clean on a schedule — no more manual exports on a Monday morning.

Python · SQL · Power Query · Fabric

Power BI Dashboards

Star-schema data models with documented DAX measures for stock accuracy, sell-through and turnover — built so they stay fast and trustworthy as your data grows.

Common Problems

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

The recurring issues I see in retail and supply chain reporting.

📦

Stock You Can't Trust

Inventory reports that are always a day behind, or disagree with what's actually on the shelf.

⏰

Manual Monday Reporting

Hours spent copy-pasting numbers from three spreadsheets into one report, every single week.

🔗

Disconnected Systems

Your POS, supplier sheets and accounting software don't talk to each other.

📋

Messy Excel Files

Multiple sheets, inconsistent store or SKU naming, formulas that quietly break.

📊

No Live View of KPIs

Decisions made without a current picture of sell-through, turnover, or fill rate.

🔁

Duplicate & Dirty Data

The same store or product spelled six different ways across systems.

📡

Unused API Data

An API or export exists, but nobody has the time to turn it into something usable.

💸

Slow, Fragile Reports

Power BI reports that take minutes to load, or break the moment someone applies a filter.

How It Works

My Simple Process

From first message to working solution in four steps. No jargon, no long sales calls.

01

Message Me

WhatsApp or the form below — no technical knowledge needed. Just describe what's frustrating you about your data.

02

Share Sample Data

Send an anonymised sample. I just need to see the shape of the problem, not your full dataset.

03

Free Audit

A clear, honest plan: what can be cleaned, automated, and dashboarded — at no cost, no obligation.

04

Build & Hand Over

I build it, document it, and hand it over so your team can use it confidently without me.

Two projects you can look at directly — code and structure included, nothing hidden behind a sales call.

Microsoft Fabric Retail Analytics Platform

End-to-end Fabric build: raw data into a Bronze Lakehouse layer, transformed to Silver via SQL with data quality checks, aggregated to Gold for Power BI. Direct Lake semantic model with a star schema and RLS-ready structure, achieving a 40% reduction in report load time versus an import-mode baseline.

About Me

Hi, I'm Mubasher Ali

I'm a BI Developer and data automation specialist based in London, with 4+ years of experience across retail and supply chain analytics. I hold an MSc in Data Analytics from London Metropolitan University (2025) and I'm Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate (PL-300), currently working towards the Fabric Analytics Engineer certification (DP-600).

I started DataVault Solutions because I kept seeing the same problem in retail and supply chain teams: hours spent every week on manual data work that could be automated in days. My goal is to make that kind of automation accessible to businesses that don't have a full data team.

You work directly with me — no account managers, no junior handoffs.
