As Open Finance discussions accelerate heading into 2027, one question is becoming unavoidable:

Are your customers truly in control of their data — or just agreeing to share it?

Open Banking 2.0 isn’t a regulatory footnote. It’s a strategic reset.

The financial products that will thrive in the next phase of data sharing will be those that:

• Treat consent as an ongoing relationship
• Design visibility into every permission
• Make revocation effortless
• Prioritise long-term trust over short-term optimisation

We wrote this earlier in the year, but it’s even more relevant now as Q4 strategy conversations begin.

Manual reporting rarely causes a problem on an ordinary day.

It causes one on the day something goes wrong and the evidence isn't where it should be: a missed record, a gap in the audit trail, a version of events nobody can fully reconstruct.

That's the real cost of manual compliance. Not the daily admin, but the one moment it actually gets tested, and comes up short.

If your compliance record was tested tomorrow, without warning, how confident are you in what it would show?

Most multi-site businesses don't lose visibility all at once.

It erodes slowly, one unrecorded delay, one report that's slightly out of date, until the first person to notice a problem isn't the operations team. It's the client.

That's the real cost of poor visibility. Not the inefficiency itself, but who ends up pointing it out, and what that does to a relationship that was supposed to run the other way.

If a problem started on one of your sites tomorrow, who would flag it first: your systems, or your client?

Connells Group needed more than 5,500 estate agents working from a single, modern, well-designed platform, not 80 different versions of "good enough."

The result: one experience, consistently good, across 1,200 branches.

Not because every branch was told to try harder, but because the platform made the good experience the default one.

A polished website and an award on the wall say one thing.

A site manager refreshing a page three times because the job status still hasn't updated says another. 🙄

The gap between how a multi-site business presents itself and what its systems actually let a client see, in real time, on any given site, is often bigger than anyone internally realises.

Mostly because the people who'd notice it aren't the ones logging in every day to check on a job.

If a client tried to check the status of a single site right now, would what they see match what you'd tell them on a call? 💭

Winning public-sector work changes what "good enough" reporting looks like.

What passed for adequate on a private contract often doesn't meet what a public-sector client expects as standard.

That usually means:

- Detailed audit trails, not a summary at month-end
- Evidence that holds up under real scrutiny, not just internal sign-off
- The ability to answer a specific question about a specific site, on a specific date, without three people and half a day to find out

If your reporting was built for private-sector expectations, when was it last tested against public-sector ones?

Reliable ESG reporting depends on one thing above all: accurate data, captured at the site, at the time the work happens, not compiled afterwards from memory or estimates.

That's the same problem we've solved on the operational side for complex, multi-site businesses: getting real data out of distributed sites consistently, without relying on manual logging.

Whether you're measuring energy use or job completions, the challenge is the same: capture it accurately at the source, or the report built on top of it isn't reliable either.

We've built exactly this for construction teams tracking assets across multiple sites, replacing manual paperwork with real-time data at the point of capture. See how: https://hubs.ly/Q04t98gD0

An ESG target is easy to publish. Proving you're hitting it is a different problem entirely.

Most sustainability commitments depend on data that's supposed to come from dozens or hundreds of individual sites: energy use, waste handling, vehicle mileage, maintenance records. If that data is still being collected manually, or not consistently at all, the target isn't being measured. It's being estimated.

Clients, regulators, and increasingly your own board are starting to ask for the evidence behind the claim, not just the claim itself.

If someone asked for the site-level data behind your last ESG report today, how quickly could you produce it?

One of our platforms is used daily by over 5,500 estate agents across 1,200 branches and 80+ brands, supporting more than 80,000 property sales a year: roughly 1 in every 10 UK home sales.

The challenge wasn't building software for one office. It was building something that held the same standard across every one of those 1,200 branches, without slowing a single agent down.

One site running well is usually down to the people on it. A hundred sites running to the same standard is down to something else: the systems behind them.

The bigger a multi-site business gets, the harder it becomes to guarantee that every site delivers the same experience, the same reporting, the same quality of service. Without the right systems, "consistent" becomes something head office hopes is true rather than something it can actually see.

How confident are you that site 1 and site 100 are delivering the same thing?
