Custom Database Reporting & Analytics for UK Businesses
Connect Your Data. See the Full Picture. Make Better Decisions.
Custom Reports
Connect any database — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server — and get custom database reports built around the metrics that matter to your business. Sales, inventory, financials, operations and more.
Database Search
Search, filter and look up records across your entire database instantly. Find customers, orders, invoices, stock levels — anything in your data — without writing a single query.
Live Dashboards
Real-time live dashboards with KPI tracking, charts and tables that update from your database. Monitor your business at a glance — revenue, orders, performance, stock and any metric you need.
Your business runs on data. But if it's locked inside databases, spreadsheets and disconnected systems, it's not working for you.
We connect directly to your databases and business platforms — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Google Analytics, Shopify, Xero and more — to build custom database reports, live dashboards, automated reporting alerts and search tools that give you instant clarity on what's happening across your business. Whether you need reporting for small business operations or enterprise-scale data integration services, we deliver.

One dashboard, every data source, the complete picture.
Automated Scheduled Reports
Your Data, Your Way
We don't force your data into pre-built templates. As a database consulting UK specialist, every report, dashboard and search tool is custom-built around how your business actually works — your metrics, your KPI tracking goals, your terminology. If you can describe what you want to see, we can build it.
Secure & Read-Only
We connect to your database through encrypted, authenticated channels with read-only access. Your data never leaves your infrastructure — we query it in place and present the results. No data copying, no third-party storage, no risk.
Platform-Agnostic
PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server — plus Google Analytics, Shopify, Xero, Google Ads and more. We connect to whatever platforms your business runs on and bring the data together into a single view.
How it works
A straightforward four-stage process that takes you from disconnected data to actionable business intelligence.
1
Connect
We securely connect to your databases and business platforms — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Google Analytics, Shopify, Xero and any other data source your business relies on. Encrypted, authenticated and read-only.
2
Discover

3
Build
We create your custom data queries, dashboards, search tools and automated workflows. Every output is tailored to your requirements — from the data it pulls to the format it's delivered in and the scheduled report automation it runs on.
4
Deliver & Automate
Reports land in your inbox on schedule. Dashboards update in real time. Alerts fire when thresholds are hit. Your data works for you continuously — no manual effort, no chasing spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Businesses turn to us when
They have valuable data in databases but no easy way to see it, search it or report on it
Their team wastes hours every week manually pulling data and building spreadsheet reports
They need financial, sales or operational data combined from multiple systems into one view
They're making decisions based on outdated information because reports take too long to produce
They want real-time dashboards showing live business metrics instead of static monthly reports
They need automated alerts when key metrics hit thresholds — low stock, overdue invoices, revenue dips
Their current reporting tools are too rigid and can't show the specific data views they need
Non-technical staff need to search and query the database without knowing SQL
They want to combine website analytics, ecommerce data and financial data into unified reports
Why choose Cloudswitched for database reporting?
We're not a generic BI vendor selling dashboard software you'll never fully use. We're a database consulting UK company that connects directly to your data and builds exactly the custom database reports, dashboards and tools you need — nothing more, nothing less.
Because we understand databases at an infrastructure level — not just the reporting layer — we can work with complex schemas, large datasets, multiple databases and cross-platform data sources that off-the-shelf tools can't handle.
Every report we build is custom. Your metrics, your terminology, your format, your schedule. Whether it's reporting for small business teams or large organisations, we don't force your business into someone else's template — we build SQL reporting services that fit how you actually work and what you actually need to see.
And because we also provide IT support, cloud infrastructure and web development, we can integrate reporting into your existing systems — embedding dashboards into your intranet, connecting alerts to your workflows, or building reporting directly into your custom applications.

What types of custom database reports do you build for UK businesses?
We build fully bespoke custom database reports for UK businesses of every size. Whether you need financial summaries, sales performance breakdowns, stock level tracking or customer behaviour analysis, every report is designed around your specific metrics and data sources.

How does Xero reporting integration work with your database reports?
Our Xero reporting integration connects directly to your Xero account via its API, pulling financial data such as invoices, expenses, profit & loss and cash flow into your unified reporting system. We combine Xero data with other sources — your CRM, e-commerce platform or internal databases — so you get a complete financial picture in one place rather than switching between separate tools.
What automated reporting services do you offer and how does scheduled report automation work?
Our automated reporting services eliminate manual data gathering entirely. We set up scheduled report automation so your reports generate and deliver themselves — daily sales summaries, weekly KPI updates, monthly board packs or any frequency you need. Reports are emailed to your team, posted to Slack or updated on a live dashboard automatically. Once configured, there is no manual work required.

How do you handle cross-platform data integration for UK companies?
Our cross-platform data integration service brings all your data sources together into a single reporting layer.
