Numbers never lie. But they are too often misinterpreted, especially in industries notorious for complex accounting practices where uncaptured activity, inconsistent electronic and manual inputs, pricing volatility, and far too many unknowns constantly threaten data integrity. When leaders from different departments have misaligned concepts of performance and profitability, it creates friction, undermines strategic decision making, and leads to missed opportunities for your business.  

With an in-depth understanding of the whens, wheres, whys, and hows of data inputs, knowledge of missing variables, and established organization-wide processes for consistently addressing data gaps, leaders across the business can operate with greater confidence in the numbers and a more unified business vision going forward. 

It’s easy to overlook data issues that can cause or exacerbate performance problems or keep your organization from fully realizing the benefits of systems, technologies, and processes. As part of almost every engagement, Impact 21 partners with retailers and wholesalers to bring these issues to light and create the solid data foundation that drives smarter strategy and enables businesses to more successfully put their customers first.
