Data and analytics consultancy in Tournai

Tournai sits in Wallonia, with an economy built on construction and real estate, logistics and freight, and food and drink manufacturing. We deliver Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure work here remote-first, with on-site workshops at the points where being in the room changes the outcome, and we publish three local analyses rather than claiming an office we do not occupy.

Tournai analyses

Three local analyses

Each one takes the local sector mix seriously: the metrics that break here, the architecture those industries need, and the regulatory obligations that apply.
Local economy

The local economy

Tournai's construction materials industry is energy-intensive, which makes energy cost per tonne and emissions reporting central analytics concerns. Cross-border logistics with France adds customs and movement documentation work.

Tournai draws on the Mons, Lille and Kortrijk catchments, with French as the working language.

Economic anchors

  • cement and construction materials production
  • cross-border logistics with France
  • agriculture and food processing

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • the Tournai-Ouest business park
  • the Escaut corridor
  • the French border zone

How buying works here

Six to fourteen weeks commercially.

Multilingual and split between local and group decision-making, with a federal structure that multiplies the authorities involved. Brussels adds a layer of organisations procuring under EU institutional rules.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Local sponsor, head of data, IT manager or finance director
  2. Group IT and procurement, often outside Belgium
  3. DPO, for the processing position and the DPA
  4. Ondernemingsraad / conseil d'entreprise, for employee-related reporting
  5. Legal, applying either Belgian law or the group agreement

Have ready

  • KBO / BCE enterprise number and registration extract
  • Attestations for social security (ONSS / RSZ) and tax, routinely requested in public procurement
  • Insurance certificates including professional indemnity
  • Data processing agreement under EU GDPR Article 28
  • Security questionnaire, often the group's standard

Contract language: Dutch in Flanders, French in Wallonia and Brussels, English with international groups. Assume at least two.

Analytics work in Tournai

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what construction and real estate and logistics and freight data looks like. We will tell you what we would build, in what order, and roughly what it costs.

How this usually runs here
A technical call, then a written proposal. Flemish and Walloon entities will each want it in their own working language.
