About
A project engineer who builds solutions.
That order is the whole point. The process gets understood first, by someone who has had to live inside it, and what gets built follows from that.
Dataflow Solutions is led by Richard Ferretti, founder and lead consultant. The work on this site comes from a decade inside heavy asset maintenance: planning, scoping, compliance and budgets, and building the tools that made those jobs survivable.
That background is the reason the questions are different. Someone who has had to produce the report every month asks what happens either side of it, not just what format it needs to be in.
Based in Sydney, Australia, working with teams anywhere in Australia.
Workflow optimisation, and building solutions that work and actually get adopted by the people who were doing it all by hand: that is my passion, and it is what I have always gravitated to in my career. I can’t wait to help you with your next optimisation.
How we work
-
Right tool
The right tool, not the biggest one
Sometimes a two-hour change removes the problem a six-month platform would only manage. Telling those apart is the first thing we do.
-
Handover
Built to be handed over
Documented, owned by your team, and yours to change. Where you would rather we kept hosting it, ran the AI side of it, or stayed on to extend it, we are glad to. The difference is that it stays a decision you make, not a lock you find later.
-
Honesty
Told what we actually think
Including when the honest answer is that the saving will not cover the build, or that the problem is a process one and no software will fix it. That conversation costs you nothing.
-
Evidence
Measured, not asserted
Every number on this site traces to something real, and where a figure came from someone else’s reporting we say so rather than claiming it.
