What Beyond Data does

Beyond Data is a Brisbane-based AI and data consultancy founded in 2023 that serves mid-market Australian businesses with $20M-$500M in revenue, alongside selective enterprise accounts. The company positions itself as an alternative to big-four consulting and enterprise data platform vendors, offering fixed-scope, fixed-price engagements ranging from two-week AI Opportunity Assessments through six-to-ten-week strategy engagements to eight-to-twenty-week embedded build deployments, plus a fractional Head of AI retainer.

The firm's core product is AIS (Automated Intelligence System), a pre-configured six-layer data and AI architecture that unifies ERP, CRM, finance, and operational data into a governed model with a business ontology, automated data quality, real-time alerting, dashboards, and an AI app runtime. AIS is deployable in two weeks and serves as the foundation for an integrated portfolio of eight service capabilities (AI Development, Advanced Analytics & ML, Insight-to-Action Systems, Forward Deployed Engineers, AI Leadership, AI & Data Roadmap, AI & Data Strategy, plus AIS itself) and 17 named solutions spanning conversational analytics, RAG-powered knowledge copilots, autonomous customer service agents, recommendation engines, churn prediction, dynamic pricing, demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, supply chain exception management, document automation with computer vision, and an executive decision cockpit.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services — primarily project-based consulting with a retainer-style fractional AI leadership offering — and pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is bootstrapped (no funding rounds disclosed), operates with 1-10 employees, and counts among its reference customers a Tier-2 Financial Services Operator, a National Mining Operator, Due North (marketing/advertising), a 29-site retailer, and Marquis Macadamias (food manufacturing), supported by a technology stack anchored on Google Cloud (BigQuery), AgileData (reseller/delivery partner), and Claude/ChatGPT foundation models.

• Ask Your Business Conversational AI analytics layer over unified operational, sales, finance, and payroll data; non-technical leaders type plain-English questions and receive accurate, cited answers in minutes, built on AIS with semantic mapping to business language.
• Internal Knowledge Copilot RAG-powered AI assistant grounded in organisational SOPs, policies, product documentation, and historical correspondence; staff ask questions in plain English and answers cite source documents, deployed inside Teams, Slack, SharePoint, or a single internal URL.
• Customer Service Agent & Triage AI front-line agent that handles tier-1 customer enquiries end-to-end—password resets, balance queries, order status, policy questions—across web chat, app, and IVR; escalates complex cases to humans with full context and transcript attached.
• Cross-Sell & Next-Best-Action Recommendations Recommendation engine that surfaces one best product or action per customer in the CRM with accept/decline/snooze buttons; model trained on each customer's own transaction, policy, and service history and compounds from feedback.
• Churn & Retention Intelligence Identifies customers likely to churn 30–90 days before departure and recommends retention actions per customer, targeting a 10–25% reduction in voluntary churn within 12 months.

• Dynamic Pricing & Margin Recovery Recovers 1–4% of gross margin from existing pricing decisions without losing volume by identifying optimisation opportunities in the pricing decisions clients are already making.

• Predictive Maintenance & Asset Intelligence Scores assets weekly for failure risk, predicts parts demand over the next 90 days, and quantifies true total cost of ownership per asset and class, running on existing CMMS data without requiring new IoT sensors.
• Supply Chain Exception Management AI orchestration layer that detects supply chain exceptions—late shipments, short deliveries, price variances, quality fails, substitute parts, early deliveries, invoice mismatches, and freight cost blow-outs—in near-real-time and routes a prioritised queue with recommended actions to procurement.
• Document & Invoice Automation Vision and language models read supplier invoices, claims forms, delivery dockets, and contracts, extract structured fields, match to POs, and post straight to ERP or claims system; human clerks see only low-confidence exceptions for review.
• Executive Decision Cockpit Leadership decision surface that watches ERP, CRM, finance, ops, and payroll continuously, surfaces only what needs deciding each week with two to three quantified options and trade-offs, routes approved actions back to systems of record, and retrains from outcomes.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Thoughtworks: Thoughtworks is a global technology consultancy with a deep data, AI, and platform-engineering practice. It is comparable to Beyond Data on data-platform builds, AI engineering, and modern data architecture delivery, but operates globally and at significantly greater scale.
• Slalom: Slalom is a global technology and business consulting firm with a strong data and AI practice serving mid-market and enterprise clients. It competes directly with Beyond Data on senior-led delivery, fixed-scope AI engagements, and cloud-platform builds, but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Accenture Australia: Accenture is a global consulting and systems integrator with a large Australian data and AI practice. Beyond Data explicitly positions itself against big-four and Accenture-style pricing, making Accenture the closest broad incumbent benchmark for AI/data engagements in Australia.
• Deloitte Australia (AI & Data): Deloitte Australia's AI and Data practice serves enterprise and mid-market clients across strategy, data-platform builds, and managed AI services. It is the most-cited 'enterprise alternative' against which Beyond Data positions its SME-friendly pricing.
• Insight Enterprises (Arinco): Insight Enterprises acquired Arinco, one of Australia's largest Microsoft-focused data and AI consultancies. It is directly comparable to Beyond Data on Australian mid-market data/AI delivery, but offers Microsoft-stack expertise and much larger delivery capacity.

Emerging players

• Relevance AI: Relevance AI is an Australian AI platform company that builds no-code AI agents and workforce automation tooling. It overlaps with Beyond Data on customer service agents, RAG copilots, and predictive workflows, but sells a software platform rather than consulting services.
• Lorikeet: Lorikeet is an Australian AI customer service agent platform deployed inside enterprise support stacks. It directly overlaps with Beyond Data's Customer Service Agent & Triage solution and competes for the same Australian mid-market customer service AI budget.

Direct peers

• OneSix: OneSix is a US-headquartered data and AI consultancy focused on Snowflake, Databricks, and modern data-stack implementations. It is comparable to Beyond Data on data-platform builds, advanced analytics, and ML engineering delivery, with a similar boutique consulting model.
• Xello (formerly Elegance): Xello is an Australian data, analytics, and AI consultancy serving mid-market and enterprise clients with similar senior-led delivery, fixed-scope engagements, and a focus on production-grade outcomes. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Beyond Data in the Australian market.

Others
