You have questions.
Your data has answers.
KenCan Analytics is the data team your business doesn't have — pipelines, analytics, forecasting, and dashboards, built by a PhD-led team. Based in San Antonio and Dallas–Fort Worth, working anywhere.
What We Do.
Three ways we help — from raw data to answers you can act on.
Data Engineering
One source of truth
Your numbers live in spreadsheets, QuickBooks, point-of-sale exports, and someone's inbox. We build automated pipelines that pull it all into one clean, reliable place — so every question starts from data you can trust.
- Automated data pipelines
- Spreadsheet & tool consolidation
- Database and warehouse setup
- Scheduled, automated reporting
Analytics & Insights
Bring us the question
“Which customers are slipping away?” “What's actually driving our costs?” “Which location is underperforming, and why?” Bring us the question you can't answer — we dig into your data and come back with the answer, the evidence, and what to do about it.
- Ad-hoc analysis of your questions
- KPIs and custom dashboards
- Customer & sales segmentation
- Cost and margin analysis
Data Science & AI
See what's coming
When looking backward isn't enough: forecast demand, flag problems before they're expensive, and automate the repetitive work that eats your team's week. Practical models built for your operation — not science projects.
- Demand & revenue forecasting
- Anomaly and risk detection
- AI-assisted automation
- Custom models for your business
How We Work.
Tell Us What You Need
We start with a conversation. What questions do you need answered? What data do you have? No jargon, no pressure.
We Build It
We design and build the solution — a dashboard, an automation, a report, or a custom tool — tailored to your operation and your data.
You Own It
Everything we build is yours. We document it, hand it over, and stick around if you need ongoing support.
A PhD-Led Data Team,
On Your Terms.
KenCan Analytics exists to give small and mid-sized businesses the kind of data capability usually reserved for large companies. Our team's experience comes from some of the most demanding environments there are — building data systems and analysis for TOPGUN, the U.S. Navy, Sandia National Laboratories, and Purdue University — and we bring that same rigor to your business.
We work with the tools you already have, learn how your operation runs, and deliver solutions your team can use from day one. No long-term contracts required — just answers you can act on.
Our team's experience includes work for
Common Questions.
What does a data consultant actually do for a small business?
+
We answer the questions your business generates but can't get to: which products or customers make you the most money, where costs are creeping, what next quarter looks like. That can mean a one-time analysis, a dashboard your team checks every morning, or automated pipelines that replace hours of manual spreadsheet work. You bring the question — we handle everything between your raw data and a clear answer.
Do we need to have “big data” for this to be worth it?
+
No. Most of the businesses we help run on spreadsheets, QuickBooks, a point-of-sale system, and a few web tools. That is plenty. The value isn't in how much data you have — it's in connecting what you already collect and actually using it to make decisions.
Do you only work with businesses in San Antonio and Dallas?
+
San Antonio and Dallas–Fort Worth are home base, and we're happy to meet in person across both metros. But everything we do works remotely, so we take on clients anywhere in the U.S.
What tools and systems do you work with?
+
Whatever you already have. Excel and Google Sheets, QuickBooks, point-of-sale and e-commerce platforms, CRMs, SQL databases — we meet your data where it lives. When something new is genuinely needed, we favor low-cost, boring, reliable tools you can own and operate without us.
How do engagements and pricing work?
+
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute conversation about what you're trying to figure out. From there we scope a fixed project (a specific analysis, dashboard, or pipeline) or ongoing support if you want a data team on call. No long-term contracts required, and you own everything we build.
Who owns the data, dashboards, and code you build?
+
You do — fully. We build in your accounts and on your infrastructure wherever possible, document everything, and hand it over. If we disappeared tomorrow, everything would keep working.
Bring Us the Question
You Can't Answer.
Book a free 30-minute data conversation. Tell us what you're trying to figure out, and we'll tell you honestly whether your data can answer it — and what it would take.
No pitch deck, no obligation. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
