The value of clean, synchronised data

“3.5 per cent of all are lost each year because of supply chain inaccuracies. That equates to £21 billion worth of missed sales every year.”

Across industry 30 per cent of transactions contain inaccurate data. These errors cost an organisation £40 to £60 each to rectify and take 25 minutes to be manually corrected, per stock keeping unit, per year.

Suppliers can reduce their product information administrative costs by at least 40 per cent by synchronising product information. This will add significant value for all organisations in today’s increasingly competitive environment.

At Kraft we have an active data synchronisation programme, linked to a major drive to improve data accuracy and customer service. We see this activity as a basic building block for collaborative processes, this being key to achieving higher levels of consumer satisfaction."
