Jola & Co — Automation & BI for founders and lean teams

Jola Tacij is a business operations and BI specialist with a 20-year career spanning office coordination, project delivery, and 6+ years of hands-on data analysis and Power BI development. She builds the automations that run the busywork — instant lead alerts, self-updating reports, and workflows that connect your CRM, spreadsheets and tools — plus clear dashboards and AI-assisted custom tools. She works hands-on with the data itself — advanced SQL, DAX and Power Query, dimensional modelling on Azure Databricks — and is actively extending that into Python (pandas). No-code when it's enough, Python when it's not, AI-assisted either way. Remote-first, based in Abruzzo, Italy, working with clients worldwide.

Services

Six fixed-price packages — fully async, no calls required. You buy, receive a scoping brief within 2 hours, and the work is delivered on a fixed timeline with async support afterwards.

• Excel Rescue (€2,400, 10 days) — rebuild the fragile spreadsheet your business runs on: fully dynamic, zero hardcoding, automated refresh, built-in error checks, plan-vs-actuals ready.
• Automation Setup (€1,500, ~7 days) — one end-to-end automated workflow across your CRM, spreadsheets, email and tools, built in Make with AI handling the judgement calls; custom Python when no-code hits its limits.
• AI-Assisted Development (scoped per project, days not months) — custom tools too bespoke for no-code and too small for an agency: document-processing pipelines, internal apps and data cleaners, built with Claude Code.
• Dashboard Rebuild (€1,800, 5 days) — one production-ready Power BI dashboard connected to your data source, with a clean model, DAX measures and 5–8 visuals, published to the Power BI Service.
• Data Model Restructuring (€2,500–€4,500, 4–5 weeks) — architect and rebuild a slow or fragile Power BI model: star schema, optimized DAX, partitioning and refresh strategy, full documentation.
• Business Question Sprint (€900, 3 days) — one tough business question investigated in your data, with an executive summary, detailed findings and recommendations.
• Fractional BI Lead (€1,200–€1,500/day, 1–3 days/week) — ongoing part-time BI leadership: dashboard ownership, roadmap, team mentoring and ad-hoc analysis.

Selected case studies

• The Chaos Inbox — a five-stage Python pipeline (built with Claude Code) turning ~800 messy supplier documents/month into clean order lines in seconds, catching 105 anomalies and flagging €259,272 at risk. Demo built on synthetic data.
• E.ON Drive — EV Utilization Model — a dynamic, zero-hardcoding data layer in Azure Databricks delivering daily reporting across 10 countries; manual data prep cut from 4 hours/day to zero.
