Access to data without the hoops to jump through.
A good Chief of Staff doesn’t just handle problems, they get ahead of them. But when your Chief of Staff has to wrangle data without support—they lose precious time and focus.

Challenge
A Reporting Gauntlet
The Chief of Staff spent 10-15 hours per month aggregating data for board and monthly meetings. Without efficient data operations in place, the entire company needed to gather and synthesize the data — a painful and wasteful use of time that led to:
- Technical wormholes: Engineering resources were regularly diverted to write SQL queries for business metrics
- Fragmented data: Critical information lived in separate systems (CRM, accounting, product database) requiring manual integration
- Reconciliation nightmares: Different reporting timeframes made synching data nearly impossible
- Accuracy fails: Manual compilation led to increased errors in critical decision-making data
Opportunity
Sharing the Burden, Changing the Game
In a matter of weeks, the company partnered with Supper to create a unified reporting solution that:
- Connects all their business-critical data sources in one platform
- Implements their unique business logic so Supper can get to know them, as they get to know it.
- Allows for custom visualizations for different stakeholders and meeting types
- Enables non-technical team members to query data directly
Impact
No More Midnight Sprints
After implementing Supper, the company reclaimed precious time for their Chief of Staff and experienced immediate improvements to their reporting workflow. Now they can:
- Reclaim their time: the CoS reduced reporting preparation from 10-15 hours to less than 1 hour per month
- Automate what matters: They created a unified dashboard displaying expenses, pipeline, revenue, and key operational metrics that serves as an automated “scorecard” for the company.
- Democratize data access: Team members across departments can now self-serve data without technical bottlenecks
- Show up ready: Supper’s export-ready visualizations simplified the creation of board presentation materials
- The company now uses Supper as the foundation for all business reporting, allowing leadership to focus on strategic initiatives rather than data compilation.
“With Supper, everyone can make data-driven decisions - not just the CTO. Supper has helped modernize the way we work with data — it's fast, easy, and impactful.”
