The Importance of Data in Private Equity
Private equity firms often struggle with a data problem when it comes to pursuing profitable growth. Despite the emphasis on profitability, many portfolio companies lack visibility and understanding of profit at the atomic level, such as by customer, product, or territory. This data challenge stems from fragmented and inconsistent data sources, resulting in wasted time and missed opportunities. The solution lies in leveraging ERP transactional data as a starting point, ensuring data consistency, and simplifying the process to surface actionable insights for driving profitable growth.
