Working together to deliver quality data and drive growth
A multinational retail company was struggling to get a clear picture of performance across its franchise operation. And that meant the franchises themselves weren’t getting informed input on how they could improve their operations.
Data was fragmented, recorded in different ways and often incomplete. And pulling reports from across the company’s 1,000 individual sites was a major manual effort – for the franchises and the central team.
Here’s how we helped the company create a single source of truth and unlock growth.

The search for quality in data management
Our client, a multinational retail company was struggling to get consistent and accurate data from its franchise operations. The data was fragmented and often of poor quality. Generating reports involved a huge manual effort for the central team and for each franchise.
It needed a better way of gathering data and ensuring it was consistent to give it better insights into how each franchise could improve performance and drive growth.
MAKE DREAM TEAMS
Part of the team
We worked with the client to design and implement a tailor-made, centralised accounting and reporting solution. The tool combines accounting, statutory/regulatory reporting and management reporting in one bespoke dashboard.
This wasn’t a case of implement a new tool and then leave the client to manage it. We’ve been supporting our client for over ten years. And over that time, we’ve become embedded within the organisation. We’ve developed strong, trusted relationships with the central team and the franchise operations. That’s meant we’ve been able to make the difference, not only to the quality of data, but to how they interpret that data.
It’s also meant that as team members have left the business, we’ve always been there to train and support new employees.
MAKE DATA CONSISTENT
A single source of the truth
Through the new dashboard, and an empowered workforce, the client has already seen significant impact.
A single source of truth places accurate and consistent data in the hands of every stakeholder that uses the dashboard, wherever they are in the business. The manual, time consuming process has been replaced, with readily accessible data allowing the central team to make data-driven decisions in line with an evolving market.
How we're making the difference
Our client now has access to a tailor-made reporting and accounting dashboard, providing a single source of truth for all key stakeholders across both its UK and EU franchises. The client can now draw upon consistent and accurate data to make informed decision across its multinational franchise network.
We continue to support our client’s use of the dashboard, not only making data easier to manage, but providing their teams with the confidence to make decisions to drive growth.
