Data warehouse implementation: one governed source of truth

Do you need a warehouse, or just a dashboard?

A warehouse earns its price when several systems — an ERP, a CRM, Tally, a store, a pile of spreadsheets — have to be combined, history has to be kept, and more than one team or tool reads from the result. It is the foundation that dashboards, reports and AI tools sit on, not a report in itself.

If you need one agreed set of management numbers from a few sources, the Business Intelligence Dashboard at ₹45,000 is the smaller step. If you are not yet sure why your systems disagree, the Drift Audit at ₹49,000, over 2–3 weeks, maps where records stop agreeing first. We diagnose. You get clarity. We quote only after that.

What does “governed” mean in practice?

Data arrives from each source through a connector. dbt then shapes it in layers — cleaned first, then combined into business-ready tables — and the layers carry tests that flag a broken rule, such as a duplicate invoice number or an order without a customer.

Tables and columns are described in a data dictionary, and lineage shows which source feeds which number. Freshness and quality monitoring flags a nightly load that is late or looks wrong, so it is caught by a check rather than noticed in a report. Access control by role keeps sensitive tables, such as payroll or patient records, visible only to the people who should see them.

What will the warehouse cost to run?

Snowflake bills separately for storage and for the compute that loads and queries use, and those bills are not part of this price. A warehouse sized carelessly keeps costing money every month, which is why cost-aware sizing is in the package: the warehouse is sized to your actual loads and query patterns, and we walk through what that means for your volumes on the scope call.

The infrastructure is written in Terraform, so the set-up is code that can be reviewed, repeated and changed deliberately, rather than a series of console clicks nobody remembers. That matters the first time someone has to rebuild an environment or check what changed and when.

How long does it take, and what is not included?

Delivery is 3 months or more; the exact length is set in the proposal once the sources in scope are known, and your fixed price arrives in writing after the scope call. As on every engagement, you work directly with the founder, on a shared board, with a working demo on day one, so the warehouse is visible long before it is finished.

Not included: Snowflake’s own bills, fixes inside your source systems, and one-off moves out of a system you are retiring, which is Data Migration & Quality at ₹15,000. Dashboards on top are their own packages: the Business Intelligence Dashboard at ₹45,000 or Sales & Revenue Analytics at ₹40,000.
