Data & Analytics in Vancouver, for tech, resources, and the trade between continents.
Vancouver tech firms, mining head offices, and Asia-Pacific trade businesses generate data in systems that rarely talk to each other. We connect them and surface the decisions buried inside.
A Vancouver tech firm runs product analytics in Mixpanel, marketing in GA4, sales in HubSpot, customer support in Intercom, and finance in Xero. Nobody has time to stitch these together. A mining head office runs drill reports in proprietary geology software, financials in SAP, regulatory tracking in custom Excel, and shareholder comms in a CRM. None of it connects to a single dashboard. An Asia-Pacific trade business tracks shipments, customs documents, and customer relationships across three or four systems built up over years.
We connect the systems. Real attribution. Compliance-friendly under BC's PIPA. Cross-time-zone reporting that works for both Vancouver and partners in Asia.
Why Vancouver
- 01Vancouver tech firms typically run product-led-growth metrics in Mixpanel or Amplitude, marketing in GA4 and HubSpot, and sales in a CRM. Default attribution misses the journey across these. We integrate them.
- 02Mining and resources head offices generate operational and regulatory data in proprietary systems (Imago, Maptek, Datamine) that rarely surface to executive dashboards. Custom integration unlocks decision visibility.
- 03Asia-Pacific trade businesses need attribution that works across time zones. Vancouver-based customers and Hong Kong or Shanghai-based suppliers generate data on different schedules that has to reconcile.
- 04BC's PIPA shapes what tracking and storage is permitted. We design analytics setups that satisfy BC compliance while still producing usable insights.
What we do for Vancouver businesses
- →We start with the decisions you need data to support. Hiring? Cutting an unprofitable customer? Pricing changes? Vendor renegotiation? The dashboards get designed backwards from those questions.
- →We connect the systems already running your business. Mixpanel, Amplitude, PostHog, GA4, HubSpot, Salesforce, Xero, plus mining or trade-specific platforms. Single dashboards that pull from all of them.
- →We design BC-PIPA-compliant tracking from day one. Canadian-region providers, explicit consent flows, BC-friendly data residency. Importing American tracking templates doesn't pass review here.
- →We support cross-time-zone reporting. Vancouver morning, Hong Kong or Shanghai end of day. The dashboards work for both.
Vancouver analytics priorities by industry
What you measure depends on the business:
Tech firms prioritize PLG product analytics, marketing attribution across long sales cycles, customer health scoring, and churn cohorts. Multi-tool integration is the centre of gravity.
Mining and resources head offices prioritize regulatory compliance tracking, drill program profitability, environmental data integration, and shareholder communication metrics.
Asia-Pacific trade businesses prioritize shipment-level analytics, customer concentration risk, supplier performance, and cross-border financial reconciliation.
Mount Pleasant and Gastown creative businesses prioritize project-level margin tracking, billable utilization, and pipeline health.
Kitsilano and West Side lifestyle businesses prioritize Google Business Profile insights, review velocity, Instagram-attributed visits, and seasonal patterns.

The Vancouver landscape, honestly
- Vancouver's analytics consulting scene clusters around the tech corridor and resources industry. Small business analytics priced for SMB budgets is rare.
- Some Vancouver firms specialize in tech product analytics, others in mining or biotech. Cross-domain trade analytics with Asia-Pacific time zone handling is largely absent.
- Pricing: We charge our standard CAD rates: $5,000 to $10,000 per setup project, $300 to $1,000 CAD per month for ongoing reporting. Substantially below most local Vancouver options.
Common questions
- Can you handle BC's PIPA compliance for analytics?
- Yes. BC's PIPA requires stricter consent than federal PIPEDA. We design tracking and consent flows that satisfy BC's framework. Canadian-region providers, BC-friendly enterprise tiers, explicit consent capture. We walk through the differences from Ontario or US setups in the audit.
- Can you integrate mining or resources industry tools?
- Yes for most common platforms. Imago, Maptek, Datamine, plus SAP, Xero, and standard CRM tools. Custom geology or environmental tools sometimes require custom integration; we scope that separately.
- What does Vancouver analytics work cost?
- Setup projects sit in our $5,000 to $10,000 CAD range. Multi-system integration and Asia-Pacific cross-time-zone reporting scope higher. Ongoing care runs $300 to $1,000 CAD per month. Substantially below most local Vancouver options.
- How does cross-time-zone reporting work?
- Dashboards refresh on schedules that produce fresh numbers for both Vancouver morning meetings and Asia-Pacific end-of-day reviews. We've handled this for several Vancouver-Hong Kong trade businesses. We walk through the cadence in the audit.
