What makes the Analytics TO WIN® method so effective?

1. ALIGNMENT – Each of the 4 Steps in the method are intentionally designed to create alignment between the overall corporate or departmental objectives and ultimately, each of the data management & analytics projects in the strategy.

2. STRUCTURE –  The method provides a structured approach for crafting the strategy. All too often, strategy projects get “stuck in the weeds” or simply get off-track. The Analytics TO WIN® method avoids these pitfalls by providing the structure to stay focused and complete the process more quickly and effectively.

Unleash the power of your NetSuite data with Pomerol’s pre-built, sales and operations analytics accelerator. Use AI to see which product attributes really drive sales, quickly compare period-over-period trends, evaluate multi-channel performance to fine tune pricing, get a handle on your shipping costs and more.

The breadth of NetSuite is a double-edged sword; all that power and flexibility can make it difficult to get data structured in a way that supports decision making. Combining saved searches means exporting multiple Excel files (i.e. inventory and sales items) and merging them manually. It’s a slow process. Pomerol’s DataOps 360 suite of accelerators puts business value first. We leverage Qlik Cloud Analytics to combine data from across NetSuite in an easy-to-use interface. No need for a data warehouse or a massive implementation project. Plus, you can extend it with data from other systems like Google Analytics or Shopify. Use the accelerator as-is or create easy to use dashboards for both employees and external partners or customers without worrying about security and loads of infrastructure.

Empower your organization to speak data.

We live in a data-driven world. Every day, we’re sharing, creating and consuming data – in our personal lives and at work. There’s more data available today than ever before; but having more data doesn’t always mean better insights. Data literacy is the ability to read, work with, analyze, and communicate with data. Collecting data it isn’t the same as understanding it — and we’re facing a critical skills gap. Just 24% of business decision makers data literate.

We can upskill your team on skills ranging from choosing the right visualization to choosing the right machine learning model and everything in between. This starts by assessing your organization’s data literacy skills then tailor a program to develop soft and hard skills around data literacy. For beginners we start with relevant examples of driving business value with data by turning lagging KPIs into leading indicators. We explain some of the data jargon like: AI vs ML, ETL vs ELT, data warehouse vs data lake, API, CDC, data governance and more. We’ll explain the fundamentals behind the challenges they face every day when they are trying to get data from various data silos. With this understanding they will be better equipped to get help.

AI Readiness Workshop

You know you want to get started using artificial intelligence (AI), but how ready are you? Now you can easily leverage Pomerol’s experience to conceive of, design and plan your AI projects – from AI governance to data prep to model selection.

Around 46% of AI projects are scrapped before they reach production. The most common reasons are cost, security and lack of results. A thorough conception phase of an AI project is critical in mitigating these risks before they eat up resources.

What are your objectives and key results (OKRs)?

Do you know when to use require agentic AI (AAI), generative AI (GenAI) or machine learning (ML) – and how they fit together?

Do you have a plan for data and AI governance and cost containment? Does your project require agentic AI (AAI), generative AI (GenAI) or machine learning (ML)?

How do you know your data is “ready” for AI?

Some examples of our clients’ successes:

Transportation: Identify which fleet assets you should replace before maintenance and operational costs eat into service levels – and profits.

Construction: Forecast invoice payments to project your cashflow with accuracy and confidence. Using this information you can optimize your working capital.

Engineering & Design: Estimate labor and materials cost for commercial general contracting projects more accurately. Win more bids, reduce waste, and increase profitability.
