Fractional Data Team
Based in Singapore, working with growing teams across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and beyond. Turn data into faster, better decisions from week one — build capabilities that scale with your business.
About Badang Labs
For growing companies, data expertise doesn't always fit the full-time hire model. You need experienced expertise for strategy, hands-on support for execution, and flexibility as priorities shift — without the commitment and overhead of building a full team too early.
Many teams find themselves stuck: too small for enterprise solutions, too complex for DIY approaches. They need the right data expertise — at the right level, for the right duration.
We deliver quick wins from week one, built on sustainable foundations. Dashboards, automation, and insights that drive faster decisions, save time, and improve business outcomes — done properly from the start, with no shortcuts that create technical debt. We focus on building capabilities your team can own and grow, ensuring your investment compounds over time.
Based in Singapore and serving teams across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and the wider ASEAN region, we provide experienced data expertise matched to your growth stage.
Our mission: Deliver strategic data expertise at the right level and duration, building sustainable capabilities that create lasting competitive advantage for growing teams across the region.

Is This Partnership Right for Your Company?
We're a great fit when:
You're ready to scale your data capabilities
Moving from manual to automated workflows, basic to sophisticated analytics, or building new capabilities while maintaining existing ones.
You need experienced guidance without full-time commitment
Strategic architecture decisions, guidance for growing capabilities, or temporary experienced coverage during transitions or hiring gaps.
You're building foundations for the first time
Want to establish proper data practices from the start — avoiding common pitfalls and technical debt that comes from retrofitting later.
You have data initiatives but lack bandwidth
Backlogged projects, limited capacity, or new opportunities you can't address without deprioritizing existing work.
We might not be the right fit if:
You need domain-specific expertise
Specialized fields like genomics, quantitative trading, or advanced ML research that require deep domain knowledge beyond general data capabilities.
You need full-time specialized expertise at the most senior level
Very deep, specialized work requiring dedicated senior expertise 100% of the time fits better with a full-time hire rather than a fractional partnership model.
You prefer to build everything in-house from day one
If you want a fully internal team handling all data work without external support, that's a valid approach — though it requires significant hiring investment and time to build capabilities.
This partnership typically pays for itself when it:
Saves Time
Eliminates 10+ hours/week of manual reporting. Reduces decision-making cycle from days to hours.
Improves Decisions
Optimizes pricing, marketing, inventory. Identifies opportunities and prevents costly mistakes.
Enables Scale
Infrastructure supporting 2-3× growth. Self-serve dashboards. Foundation for future data hiring.
Positioned for Flexibility and Value
- Expert-level expertise without agency overhead
- Experienced expertise without full-time hiring
- Start with Foundation Sprint to test fit before larger investment
- Move between partnership tiers as your business grows

For Companies Outside Singapore
Common questions from teams working with us from other countries.
How does invoicing work for companies outside Singapore?
All engagements are quoted and invoiced in SGD under a Singapore-registered entity. We issue monthly invoices with standard payment terms — your finance team handles it like any other Singapore vendor payment.
How do you handle data when working across borders?
We're happy to discuss your specific data handling requirements during the discovery call. Where possible, we prefer to work within your existing environment rather than moving data around. We'll adapt our approach to fit your needs.
What governs the contract and engagement terms?
Engagements are contracted under Singapore law with SGD invoicing. If you have specific contracting requirements, we're happy to discuss during the discovery call.
Are there tax or regulatory considerations for cross-border services?
Cross-border engagements may have tax implications depending on your jurisdiction. We recommend consulting your local tax or legal advisor for specifics. We're happy to share what we know from our experience, but we're not tax or legal advisors.
Have a question we haven't covered? Book a discovery call or send us a WhatsApp message — we're happy to discuss your specific situation.
