Data Pipeline Development

We build the plumbing
that makes your data
actually usable.

Every dashboard, report, and analytics layer is only as good as the data feeding it. We build the pipelines that get your data in, cleaned, reconciled, and reliable — the unglamorous foundation everything downstream depends on. It is what we run at scale on our own platform.

What we build

The foundation
under everything.

Pipelines are invisible when they work and catastrophic when they do not. We build them to be reliable, from the start.

01

Extract

Getting data reliably out of the systems where it actually lives.

02

Clean & reconcile

Making messy, inconsistent data trustworthy and agree with itself.

03

Transform & model

Shaping raw data into a consistent structure everything downstream can use.

04

Scheduled & monitored

Running reliably and catching failures before they corrupt your numbers.

05

Owned by you

The pipeline and its logic, handed over. No platform lock-in.

The real work

The pipeline is where a data project succeeds or fails

When people imagine a data project, they picture the dashboard. But the dashboard is the easy, visible part. The hard, valuable part is everything upstream: getting the data out of the systems where it lives, cleaning it, reconciling inconsistencies, and shaping it into something trustworthy. That is the pipeline, and it is where most of the real effort — and most of the risk — in any data project actually sits.

It matters because everything downstream inherits the pipeline's quality. A dashboard, a BI report, an analytics feature — all of them are only as good as the data flowing into them. A beautiful report built on a broken pipeline is worse than no report at all, because it looks authoritative while quietly being wrong, and people make real decisions on it. Get the pipeline right and everything above it can be trusted. Get it wrong and nothing above it can.

So we treat the pipeline as the foundation it is. It is unglamorous work — nobody demos a data pipeline — but it is the single most important part of making data genuinely usable, and we build it with the care that importance deserves.

It has to keep running

A pipeline is infrastructure, not a one-off cleanup

A data pipeline is not a single cleanup job you run once and forget. It is living infrastructure that has to keep working as new data arrives, day after day, without silently breaking. New records come in messy, source systems change, edge cases appear — and the pipeline has to handle all of it reliably, or the clean data it produced yesterday quietly rots.

So we build pipelines to run reliably and to be watched. Scheduled or event-driven processing that keeps the data current, transformation and reconciliation logic that holds up as inputs vary, and monitoring so that when something does go wrong, you find out and fix it — rather than discovering weeks later that your numbers have been subtly wrong the whole time. Silent failure is the worst outcome in data infrastructure, and we build to prevent it.

This reliability is the difference between a pipeline you can build your business's reporting on and one that becomes a recurring fire. We build the former, because that is what real data infrastructure has to be.

Proof

We run data pipelines at scale, in production

The clearest proof we can offer on pipelines is that we run them at scale on our own platform. sellyourboat.io is a Wall & Fifth venture handling over 12,000 structured listings across 18 countries, kept consistent, searchable, and current — which is precisely the job of a data pipeline, done reliably in production.

Getting a large, messy, real-world dataset into a clean and dependable state, and keeping it that way as new data flows in continuously, is exactly the pipeline problem, and we have solved it on our own venture with our own money at stake. So we build your pipeline from operating real data infrastructure, not from a diagram.

We have also handled transactional and payments data across client work including KompiPay. Reliable data plumbing is a category we live in.

The build

Production stack, fixed price, owned outright

We build data pipelines on a real production stack — PostgreSQL, robust transformation logic, scheduling and monitoring, deployed properly — the same foundation under our own products. We build to fit your sources and your reliability needs, not to inflate the invoice.

We work to a fixed price. From 16,000 GBP for a focused pipeline — getting one or two key sources in, cleaned, reconciled, and reliable — and from 30,000 GBP for a larger build across multiple sources with transformation, scheduling, and monitoring. Any third-party usage, such as a data warehouse, is passed through to you at cost, never marked up.

And you own all of it: the pipeline, the transformation logic, the code, handed over on delivery. No platform you keep paying to keep your own data flowing, no licensing, no lock-in. Yours to run, change, and extend with us or any team you choose.

FAQ

Questions people ask

The engineering that moves your data from where it lives into a clean, consistent, usable state — extracting it from its sources, transforming and reconciling it, and loading it somewhere your reporting, product, or analytics can rely on. You need one because raw data is almost never usable as-is: messy, spread across systems, inconsistent. The pipeline is the plumbing that makes everything downstream trustworthy.

Because the visible outputs — dashboards and reports — are only as good as the data feeding them, and getting that data clean and reliable is the real work. Messy data across several sources, reconciled and made trustworthy, is where most of the effort and value sits. A beautiful dashboard on a broken pipeline is worse than useless because it looks authoritative while being wrong. The pipeline is the foundation.

Yes. A pipeline is not a one-off cleanup — it is infrastructure that keeps your data current as new data arrives. We build scheduled or event-driven pipelines that run reliably, with transformation and reconciliation logic to keep data consistent, and monitoring so failures are caught rather than silently corrupting your numbers. Reliability is the whole point.

From £16,000 for a focused pipeline: getting one or two key sources in, cleaned, reconciled, and reliable. From £30,000 for a larger build across multiple sources with transformation, scheduling, and monitoring. Both fixed price, and you own the result. Third-party usage (warehouse) is passed through at cost.

Yes. sellyourboat.io is a Wall & Fifth venture handling over 12,000 structured listings across 18 countries, kept consistent, searchable, and current — exactly the job of a data pipeline. Getting a large, messy dataset into a clean, reliable state and keeping it there in production is something we do on our own platform.
