Data and analytics consultancy in Swords

Swords sits in County Dublin, with an economy built on aviation and airports, logistics and freight, and software and technology. 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.

Swords 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

Swords' position beside Dublin Airport makes air freight, turnaround and distribution analytics the dominant local pattern. Pharmaceutical and technology operations in the area add regulated and product analytics respectively.

Swords draws directly on the Dublin labour market with slightly lower cost levels.

Economic anchors

  • proximity to Dublin Airport and its logistics cluster
  • technology and pharmaceutical operations
  • distribution and retail

Where the clients sit

  • the town centre
  • the Airside Business Park
  • the Dublin Airport corridor
  • Balheary

How buying works here

Four to twelve weeks for an Irish-headquarte….

English-language and UK-like in tone, but dominated by multinational subsidiaries whose procurement happens elsewhere. Vendor onboarding often takes longer than the commercial negotiation.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Local sponsor, head of data, finance director or country manager
  2. Group procurement, frequently in another country and another time zone
  3. Information security and privacy review, often against a standard questionnaire
  4. Legal, usually applying a group master agreement rather than negotiating a new one

Have ready

  • Tax clearance certificate from Revenue, checked routinely, including for non-resident suppliers
  • Certificate of incorporation and company registration details
  • Insurance certificates, with professional indemnity at the level the group policy requires
  • Data processing agreement under EU GDPR Article 28
  • Security questionnaire, often a standardised set such as SIG or CAIQ

Contract language: English.

Analytics work in Swords

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what aviation and airports 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. An Irish subsidiary will usually need a purchase order raised before an invoice can be settled.
