Case CooliBlade: From Manual Dashboards to On-Demand Business Insight

“At the first project meeting I was already testing the solution. At the second, I walked in and showed what I’d built on top of it myself.” — Jeremias Niemi-Korpi, Head of Finance, CooliBlade 

Background 

CooliBlade designs and manufactures advanced thermal management solutions for power electronics — a fast-growing deep-tech company serving industries from renewable energy to EV charging and 5G telecommunications. Staying sharp in a market like that means making decisions fast, and making them on facts.

The challenge wasn’t a lack of data. CooliBlade runs a modern stack — HubSpot for sales, Odoo for operations and manufacturing — and both systems hold valuable information. But getting a clear picture of business performance meant pulling data from each source separately, stitching it together by hand, and building dashboards that were already ageing by the time they were ready. 

The process worked. It just consumed time that could be spent on decisions rather than preparation. 

Solution 

CooliBlade partnered with Ikoni to design and build something better. Ikoni took responsibility for the architecture, the integration between CooliBlade’s business systems, and the AI layer that ties it all together. CooliBladebrought what Ikoni can’t supply: deep knowledge of the business, the metrics that matter, and what good looks like in their industry. 

Insight through conversation 

The result is a solution where users simply ask what they want to know. Business-critical KPIs — manufacturing yield and recognised revenue — are available on demand, calculated and visualised through a natural language conversation with Claude AI. No waiting for a report to be built. No manual assembly. Just the answer. 

Built to grow 

The system launched with two foundational KPIs covering CooliBlade’s key financial and operational performance areas. Extending it with new metrics doesn’t require a developer or a new project. Users can define and add new views themselves — the template is part of the delivery, and the conversation is the interface. 

Result 

From kickoff to first full release: 9 working days. 

• Less manual work — leadership spends their time on decisions, not on assembling data from disconnected systems. 
• Insights on demand — business-critical KPIs are available immediately, without waiting for a report to be prepared. 
• Grows with the business — new metrics and views can be added without a developer, simply by extending what was delivered. 
• Faster, more confident decisions — with the right data always within reach, decisions are made on facts rather than gut feeling. 

“The project’s outcome exceeded our expectations. Before the project, we considered a traditional BI tool our top choice, but based on the results, we decided to abandon its implementation entirely.” — Jeremias Niemi-Korpi, Head of Finance, CooliBlade
