Is your data working for you?
Most modern businesses rely on data, but not all data adds value. Poor quality data can impact operational performance and obscure valuable insights used to make good business decisions.
We are here to help!
Here are three areas where poor quality data can impact business:
Customer (CRM) data
Common issues
Out of date content
Incorrectly profiled and badly categorised
Missing key information
Validation rules have been circumvented with 'nonsense' data
Multiple databases containing duplicates
No link to sales or performance data
No engagement information
No data provenance (GDPR)
Poor security / protection
Product data
Common issues
Dataset contains old products
New products are missing
Duplicated products
Incorrectly categorised products
Inaccurate product description
Products missing key information
Incorrect specification and pricing
Lacking time context (sale and cost £ over time)
No linked purchase incentive campaign
Financial data
Common issues
Records are incomplete
Poorly structured and difficult to identify key metrics
Cost centres not set up correctly
Payments are incorrectly profiled
Mixed data columns (words and numbers) - difficult to analyse and gain meaningful insights
Unsubstantiated summary figures
No error alerting

Making your data work for you
We know that managing data can be a real headache. Often complex and spread across different systems, it can be difficult to see the big picture and get the most from your data.
With 20+ years of commercial experience, we can improve your systems and workflows, saving valuable time and freeing up resources.
Data can be complex with records overlapping each other.
Whether your data is in a proprietary system or a set of spreadsheets, we can work with a standard export file.
Our data transformation is done in the cloud, giving you access to live results. Reports and visualisations can be provided in a number of flexible formats.
Our projects include:
GDPR data cleansing
Sales analysis
Due diligence projects (for M&A)
Data migration from legacy products like SAGE
Data transformation to platforms like Salesforce
Reconciliation between multiple systems / sources
VISUALISATION AND POWERFUL DASHBOARDS
We have the right analytical skills to help you get the most from your data. We can produce effective and meaningful insights and reports through simple dashboards.
If you've spent time producing complex reports, you'll know that it is easy for 'false positives' to creep in and provide a distorted view. When producing a set of bespoke queries for a report, we always consider the big picture and determine what's 'in scope' and what needs to be filtered out.
We can produce content for corporate reporting, or analyse company accounts to help show an accurate picture of financial health and performance.
DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Effective database management can assist in the support and smooth running of business systems, particularly large staff databases used to access services.
Our everyday data-cleansing tools identify common issues for data compliance, including:
Incorrectly provisioned accounts.
Email addresses that don't have the correct structure.
Fields that contain incorrect characters that could indicate a potential marketing issue.
Duplicate records and field values that are likely to cause embarrassment or reputational damage.
Mandatory fields missing vital content.
Incorrect pricing or problematic and incomplete product data.
Problematic export files from third parties, undermining data integrity and credibility.
We provide simple reports that show you the health of your data and which records need attention.
NON DESTRUCTIVE APPROACH
When processing data, it's important not to alter or overwrite key information. Our approach to data is non-destructive, so for integrity, we overlay layers of information without altering your core content.
When data is merged or moved between systems, problems can occur, particularly where validation rules are different. From initial gap analysis, we add various 'checks and balances' along the way to ensure data integrity at every stage, so you can be confident that your reports are giving you an accurate picture, particularly when time is critical.
We can help automate your processes and add various validation workflows to cut down on manual input errors. We also flag likely data issues so that anomalies are picked up before they cause problems.
MANAGED DATA MIGRATION PROJECTS
We have experience extracting, transforming and loading data between systems, ensuring integrity throughout the process.
As well as data records, we also know how to best migrate and reconcile millions of files between servers and cloud accounts, particularly Google Workspace.
Backed by data analytics, we rigorously profile both source and destination drives so that a detailed gap analysis can ensure that all migration projects are executed correctly.
