The Challenge
Timely Insights
Frequently, the demand data analytics cycle exceeds the business decision cycle. We’ve heard from various consumer goods manufacturers that strategic decisions regarding a product’s price, promotion, and overall product mix are often made without demand data insight as much as 80% of the time.
Volumes of Data
Vast amounts of data must be analyzed from fragmented data sources. This creates further challenges for making good use of the data.
Silos of Data
Various data sources such as syndicated, POS, and panel data, are used by multiple decision makers to run their business. Each of these data sources has its own tools and interfaces that must be learned in order to mine the data effectively. This model is problematic in that it lacks the tools to easily incorporate this data into the business decision process. As a result, silos of data reside within an organization and the analysis of these various data sets is cumbersome and overwhelming.
The Solution
DataAlchemy is a user-friendly desktop application that automates the data analytics process by providing a single platform for disparate data sources. Its dynamic PowerPoint presentations and Excel charts make it easy to provide actionable and timely insights that are critical to the business decision process.
