Analytics Engineering

Bridge the gap between data platforms and decision‑making

Siloed teams, poor data quality, and governance bolted on too late often results in programmes that underdeliver. At Entelect, we embed into your teams and build analytics engineering solutions that fit your architecture, your controls, and business needs – from data modelling and transformation pipelines to security, visualisation, and DevOps-aligned deployment.

Standard Bank: Building an API platform for corporate risk teams

Standard Bank's Corporate and Investment Banking division needed a smarter way to manage customer data across complex risk functions. 

Standard Bank's CIB Risk division sought to elevate their team ability to access consistent, governed customer data. They needed a platform that could consolidate data sources, enable self-service reporting, and uphold strict regulatory and access control requirements.

Entelect partnered with Standard Bank to design and deliver an API platform, offering downstream applications a governed catalogue of API endpoints. Business rules were applied to ensure data consistency, with user restrictions managing access control. Datasets and database views were built to support secure, self-service reporting – with all data sourced from a trusted, curated foundation.

Data consolidation: A single source of truth replaced fragmented spreadsheets, eliminating reporting errors and improving governance across the CIB Risk ecosystem.


Operational agility: Teams gained self-service access to real-time data, reducing reliance on manual processes and improving efficiency across reporting and compliance workflows.


Scalable foundation: Enhanced data governance and Power BI integration created a platform built for future data-driven features and long-term growth.

How We've Delivered

A person working on a computer with Data Displaying

Context

Standard Bank saw an opportunity to strengthen its ability to identify and manage high-risk entities to reduce compliance exposure and financial penalties.

Approach

Entelect built a machine learning-driven solution that analyses entity data to classify risk and proactively flag potentially fraudulent or non-compliant businesses.

Outcome

This prevented high-risk entities from transacting, significantly reduced compliance risk, and saved the bank millions of rands in penalties annually.

An RMB building

Context

RMB sought to better understand client trading behaviour across global markets to drive more informed, data-driven decision-making.

Approach

Entelect applied advanced data science techniques to analyse time-series trading data, identifying behavioural shifts and patterns across multiple instruments and markets.

Outcome

This enabled clearer visibility into trading behaviour, improved strategic insights across sectors, and empowered teams to make more informed, data-driven decisions.

Context

Cooperative Governance Traditional Affairs held vast amounts of data across all provinces but lacked the ability to generate meaningful reports or recognise relationships between data points, limiting effective district and municipal planning.

Approach

Entelect reviewed COGTA's existing solution and used it as a springboard to design, document, and build a new semantic data model, migrating pipelines to Microsoft Fabric and enabling user-facing dashboards through Copilot for Power BI.

Outcome

The department gained faster, more informative insights across population, education, health, and finances, empowering data-driven municipal planning and delivering more value for money through AI best practices and cost reduction on models.
