Ingestion, warehousing, pipelines, model serving and drift monitoring, built to stay reliable after launch. Delivered by named senior engineers, fixed scope, staging from week one.
Epcotec builds data platforms and MLOps for Australian organisations: ingestion pipelines, warehouses, dbt models, model serving and drift monitoring that stay accurate in production. It is the fastest-growing category in the tenders we track, delivered by senior data engineers with a fixed scope, weekly demos and handover documentation that survives audit.
Every source is characterised for replay and idempotency before a line moves, so restarts are safe, duplicates are impossible, and row counts reconcile at each hop.
Stars modelled from real reporting needs rather than copied schemas, with tested transformations, documented lineage and slow-changing dimensions handled deliberately.
Serving ships with feature and prediction drift tracked against baselines, so decay is caught by dashboards and alerts long before anyone notices in a business report.
Schema, volume and freshness checks run as pipeline stages, so bad data stops at the boundary and the offending batch is quarantined with a reconciled replay.
Spatial models, indexes and query plans tuned so map layers and catchment reports answer in seconds, with the same reconciliation discipline as any other pipeline.
Extraction, classification and routing at scale, with each field carrying its source page and confidence, so review effort concentrates where the model was least certain.
Window: 3-9 weeks

Get a fixed quoteWe profile each source for schema stability, replay behaviour and idempotency, and agree the reconciliation counts that will prove correctness before code is written.
Ingestion, transformation and load stages ship with idempotent offsets and row-level checks, and a wave is not signed off until counts reconcile end to end.
Dimensional models and serving endpoints go live behind the same gates, with query performance checked against the reporting workloads they were built for.
Feature and prediction drift, freshness and cost are monitored together, so decay and spend are caught while they are still cheap to fix.
Lineage, dashboards and reconciliation scripts transfer with a shadowing window, then thirty days of accompaniment while your team takes the controls.
Idempotent offsets and reconciliation counts kept every feed correct through months of continuous operation, with exchange-grade monitoring proving counts hop by hop.
Confidence scores and provenance per field cut review cycles from months to days, because reviewers saw exactly which extractions needed a human check.
Spatial models and tuned indexes turned catchment and coverage reports that once ran overnight into queries answered in seconds against reconciled data.

Operations and deliverables conform to the cross-cutting standards below, and data work runs under documented governance: lineage, access rules and retention schedules follow every dataset from ingestion to model serving.
Operations and deliverables run under a documented management system aligned with ISO/IEC 27001:2022. The controls shape scoping, review, change management and evidence capture on every engagement.
Australia: Governs every Australian engagement, including hosting decisions and data residency.
Canada: Governs every Canadian engagement, including hosting decisions and data residency.
Quality management aligned with ISO 9001 governs scoping, review gates, acceptance criteria and handover, so every deliverable passes the same documented checks.

Every dataset carries documented lineage, access rules and retention schedules agreed with the client.
Australia: Retention and handling follow the Australian Privacy Principles for Australian data.
Canada: Retention and handling follow PIPEDA and, where applicable, Quebec Law 25 for Canadian data.
References to standards describe alignment. Certification is claimed only where an accredited certificate is published on this page.
Idempotent offsets and deterministic replay mean a restart or retry cannot duplicate a record, and reconciliation counts prove row parity at every hop.
Feature and prediction distributions are tracked against baselines, with alerts on divergence, so retraining is triggered by evidence.
Yes. We design spatial schemas, tune indexes and query plans, and apply the same reconciliation and quality gates used across the rest of the platform.
Extraction and classification pipelines that attach a confidence score and provenance to every field, so human review concentrates only where the model was least certain.
