Data Transformation
**Step 1: Data Discovery** We start by understanding what data you already have - invoices, POS systems, supplier records, waste logs. Often, the insights are hiding in plain sight. **Step 2: Data Cleanup** We organize, standardize, and connect your data sources. No more hunting through multiple spreadsheets or wondering which numbers are current. **Step 3: Insight Generation** We analyze patterns, identify trends, and spot opportunities. This is where your data starts working for you instead of against you. **Step 4: Action Planning** We translate insights into practical next steps. Not just "your margins are low" but "here's exactly how to fix it and how much it will save you." **Step 5: Ongoing Support** We help you build the tools and processes to keep your data working for you long-term.
