The challenge

The challenge

Find the gaps in your strategy and learn where your teams are performing well with real-time reports and sales dashboard software.

  • Duplicates can occur when you enter data

    If you have data that flows in from your website, imported from third-party data sources, or is manually input by your sales team, you can quickly end up with lots of duplicate records or inaccurate data, despite your best intentions.

  • Data loses quality over time

    If you’re not regularly reviewing the quality of your data, you’re likely to find duplicated, incomplete, or poorly formatted data.

Keeping track of stock

“If a customer is buying some items in a category but not buying others within the same category, we can ask the question, why are you not buying the additional items from us? We can see what they’re likely to need more of whether that’s Tremor line or tires.”

“We know which fundraising activities led to which donations, whether it is a challenge event or any of the many other activities organized by our local groups to raise funds and boost our profile. This allows us to focus future efforts on the methods we know will be most successful.”

Measuring What Matters

“The biggest challenge wasn’t simply cleaning up the data. It was making sure we had a way to measure and maintain its quality going forward. By introducing a data health scorecard and automating much of the deduplication process, we’ve moved away from constantly fixing problems and towards a much more structured and sustainable approach to data governance.”

From Chaos to Clarity

For a commercial team, confidence in your CRM data is everything. Before this project, we knew valuable insight was being hidden behind duplicate and inconsistent records. Working with DQ Global allowed us to clean and structure our data quickly, but more importantly it put the processes in place to keep it healthy. Today our teams can trust what they see in the CRM, which means better targeting, clearer account ownership and faster commercial decisions.
