Data Nest

The insights you need from your data, without the back and forth.

Data Nest is a fully managed analytics service. We connect your business systems, build dashboards around the numbers that matter, and monitor and maintain it all. Think of it as the power grid for your data: plug your systems in, and your dashboards, reports and AI run on it.

Live in 2–4 weeks. Plans from $1,400 a month on a 12-month term, setup included.

The alternative

What you'd otherwise need.

Most companies get trusted numbers one of two ways. Here is how Data Nest compares.

Hire a data team

Who does the work
A data engineer, an architect, a data scientist or analyst, and someone to build the dashboards.
Time to trusted numbers
Months to hire, then months to build.
When something breaks
Your team finds and fixes it when they have time.
When the person leaves
The knowledge leaves with them.
Cost
One data scientist alone: $120,230 median annual wage, before benefits, tools and management.

Do it yourself

Who does the work
Someone part time, on top of their job.
Time to trusted numbers
Usually a side project, usually months.
When something breaks
Whoever built it, if they're still around.
When the person leaves
The knowledge leaves with them.
Cost
Your team's time, plus the cost of every wrong number.

Data Nest

Who does the work
Swift's team, included in your plan.
Time to trusted numbers
2–4 weeks after access is confirmed.
When something breaks
We fix it. First response within 8 business hours.
When the person leaves
Definitions you own, maintained by Swift's team, not one person.
Cost
From $16,800 a year ($1,400 a month on a 12-month term), setup included. Less than two months of that salary.

Salary figure: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, Data Scientists, May 2025.

Investment

Priced by your data, not your headcount.

Your plan is set by how many systems you connect, how much data moves, and how often it refreshes. Headcount doesn't change your plan. A connected system is a tool your data lives in, like Salesforce, NetSuite or a shared spreadsheet.

A 12-month term at the prices shown, or a 3 or 6-month term at a higher monthly rate if you'd rather prove it first. After the term, month to month at the same price with 30 days' notice. You own your source data and business definitions and can export them at any time. Swift's frameworks, models and included dashboards stay with Swift.

Swift handles

  • Connecting and refreshing your systems
  • Modeling and validating the data
  • Maintaining your business definitions

FAQ

Common questions.

What is Data Nest?

Data Nest is a managed analytics service from Swift Insights. We connect your business systems, model and validate the data, maintain your business definitions, and keep it all running as one trusted foundation for dashboards, reporting, apps, automation and AI.

Is Data Nest analytics as a service?

Yes. Swift builds, runs and maintains your data foundation and included dashboards for a monthly price, so you get trusted reporting without hiring a data team.

Is Data Nest a data warehouse?

No. A warehouse is where data is stored. Data Nest is the managed foundation Swift builds and runs: systems connected, data modeled and validated, business definitions maintained, and issues fixed when they come up.

How do you know the numbers are right?

We agree how your key metrics are defined, check the data for quality issues, and reconcile important results against your source systems.

Is our data secure?

Each customer is isolated by default, stored in a US Google Cloud region, with access limited to your assigned Swift team on a least-privilege basis.

What if we want to leave?

Plans start with a 3, 6 or 12-month term, then continue month to month at the same price with 30 days' notice. You own your source data and business definitions, and can export your data at any time. Swift's frameworks, models and included dashboards stay with Swift.

How current are our numbers?

Your Nest refreshes on the schedule agreed for your plan, daily on Essential. Ask uses the latest published data; asking a question doesn’t trigger a refresh.

Can several departments use it?

Yes. Multiple departments fit on Essential. Adding users alone doesn't change your plan, and any BI licenses are confirmed in your proposal.

What does maintenance mean?

Everything needed to keep your Nest and included dashboards working as designed, with no monthly hour cap. New requirements or scope are quoted separately.

Why not just use AI?

AI is only as good as the data under it. Your Nest maintains the connections, checks and definitions, so nobody has to rebuild that context in a chat.

Which systems can you connect?

Most business systems. CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot, accounting and ERP like NetSuite and QuickBooks, marketing and support tools, databases, and spreadsheets or file exports. If a system has an API or an export, it can usually be connected. Tell us what you run and we'll confirm on the call.

What happens when Ask can't answer a question?

It tells you. Ask answers only from your approved metric definitions and the latest published data. If a question falls outside that, it says so and names the closest approved metric instead of guessing. Any caveat attached to a number stays with the number.

What happens if a refresh fails before a board meeting?

Your dashboards keep showing the last good published data. A failed refresh never replaces trusted numbers with half-loaded ones. We're alerted, we fix it, and we keep you informed. First response within 8 business hours.
