Why data management is critical
Where can you find reliable information about your customers, products, financials? When you have multiple stand-alone solutions in place, information can become out of sync. For example, a customer record may be stored in your:
- Customer relationship management (CRM) system
- Ecommerce / Point of Sale (POS) system
- Accounting system
How do you know when it’s the same customer – and not just another customer with the same name? How to you make sure the address, email or phone number gets updated in all the systems you use? And what happens if you want to get a report that combines information from multiple systems? We can help you build a data management plan that addresses your unique needs.
