Data Supplier Negotiation

Are you considering changing data suppliers?

We will audit and compare data between suppliers
We will work with you and the proposed new supplier to understand where data differs, and why
We will provide you with recommendations and advice so you can make the best decision for your business

“Smart Spend” Analysis

We analyse internal sales to data spend to establish baselines of real data costs by business unit, category, and/or segment
Identifying which markets can transition earlier against which markets are locked into contracts is key to improved data management and focussed efficiencies
It is critical to be aware of and highlight penalty clauses and restrictions, to minimise unnecessary costs and potential data disruption

Deeper data granularity
Improved data periodicity e.g. from monthly to weekly reporting periods
Faster, more frequent delivery of the latest data e.g. from monthly to weekly, D+25 to D+10, to D+7, to D+0
Increased number of measures e.g. distribution
Improved data collection methodology means better data robustness
Increased data coverage
Report daily data, by SKU, by retailer/store
Report regional/store-level data for salesforce reports
Evaluate business performance by offline versus online data
Evaluate pure play versus omnichannel performance across key metrics
