Data Collection and Processing
Identify the Business Need
Our team works closely with you to understand your specific data management needs and develop customized solutions that meet your requirements.
Select Data Collection Tools
Selecting the right data collection tools will depend on data type and collection environment. Current tools include:
- Microsoft Forms
- Team Haven
- Power Apps
- Connectteam
Build Data Collection Platform
The design of the collection platform is optimized to collect the maximum amount of data in the minimum time. Extra consideration is given to ensure that data is validated to remove the possibility of human error.
This includes:
- Designing (conditional) questionnaires
- Field testing
- Building product/store database
Clean & Transform the Data
Power Query is a business intelligence tool which allows us to import data from multiple sources, clean it, transform it and restructure it to interface with our visualisation tools.
This includes:
- Data interpretation
- Data quality checks
- Data transformation
- Final data sets check
Link the Appropriate Data sources
Where we use multiple data sources, such as 3rd party sales data, we determine the relationships between data sources and automate the integration process into our reporting platform.
Data Analytics and Reporting
Design Data Visualisation reports
The majority of our client reporting is visualized through Power BI. Reporting is designed to allow simple ‘slice and dice’ functionality. Reporting is constantly tweaked to interrogate new trends and insights:
- Produce dashboards and reports
- Provide live access to data, scheduled to refresh daily / weekly
Analyse and report on Findings
Not everyone wants live online access to reporting. Some of our clients are ‘Inbox Warriors’, preferring an editable format in their email as a CTA, including:
- PowerPoint
- Word
- Excel
Each report is supported by an Executive Summary to provide insight on the data trends and metrics.
