What Kimura does

Kimura Data Intelligence B.V. is a Dutch data and BI consultancy headquartered in Woudenberg, Netherlands, founded in 2019. The firm specializes in the Microsoft data stack — Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Power BI, and supporting open-source components (Apache Spark, Delta Lake) — and serves Dutch SMB (MKB) and enterprise organizations with a primary vertical focus on wholesale and distribution, alongside adjacent deployments in education, healthcare, international business services, and the public/cultural sector. Named customers include Verfsterk Groep, SRG International, Rembrandt, Driestar Educatief, Clingendael, and Medisch Spectrum Twente (MST).

The firm's core technical asset is the Kimura Data Framework (KDF), a proprietary, pre-built data platform architecture on Microsoft Fabric. KDF bundles 50+ standard ERP connectors (SAP HANA, AFAS Profit, Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O and Business Central, Exact Online), a three-layer Medallion architecture (Bronze raw landing, Silver cleansed/standardized, Gold business logic), a parameterizable indirect-cost allocation engine that produces P&L per customer, and a dynamic row-level security model covering CFO, Controller, Sales Manager, and Operations roles. The framework enables P&L-per-customer, customer-margin ranking, and drill-through dashboards in Power BI; Microsoft Fabric Data Agents (preview) extend access via conversational natural-language queries against OneLake data.

Kimura operates a platform-plus-services business model combining (1) a managed KDF subscription at EUR 300-3,000/month including monitoring, SLA, and support; (2) professional services for implementation, ERP integration, and dashboard build-out; and (3) a structured 6-week Profit Insight Scan diagnostic that serves as a low-friction entry point to the subscription. Kimura Academy delivers Power BI and Microsoft Fabric training via Microsoft Certified Trainers and functions as a separate monetization line and community channel. Go-to-market is consultative direct sales with a 30-minute demo CTA, supplemented by an extensive Dutch-language SEO blog, YouTube (Kimura TV), and active participation in the Power BI Gebruikersdagen (PBIG) community conference.
