I’ve already got staff looking at data, do I really need a tool too?
Here are a few things to consider if purchasing a tool is right for your business:
- Does it seem like it takes your staff a long time to collect reports from portals, buyers, systems, and other teams?
- Is your staff frustrated about the inaccuracy of your POS data? Or is it hard for them to validate the accuracy?
- Does it seem like your departments spend more time debating spreadsheets, rather than making business decisions?
If any of these sounded familiar, then the answer to buying an analytics tool is yes! SPS Analytics collects from all your POS data connections, cleanses the data and inputs them into an easy-to-use dashboard.
