Does This Sound Familiar?
Recently, I’ve been having the same conversation repeatedly with many of Taiga’s prospective customers: rapid expansion—especially through acquisitions—leads to data fragmentation. Each newly acquired group of stores comes with its own systems—different POS platforms, back-office software, and more. At the same time, demands for consolidated reporting across the entire chain are growing. Unfortunately, the technical complexity required to achieve that goal is frequently underestimated.
Some organizations have attempted custom-built solutions, only to discover how challenging integrations can be—and how scarce the expertise needed to execute them is. Others have proposals for custom builds sitting on their desks, while some are just beginning to explore how to address the issue. Regardless of where they are in the process, the roadblocks are consistent: fragmented data and the overwhelming effort required to aggregate and reconcile it make achieving a unified view of the business feel nearly impossible.
Taiga Simplifies the Complexity
Taiga’s platform is purpose-built for the convenience industry to tackle the data challenge head-on. Our off-the-shelf integrations connect directly to your store systems and aggregate, cleanse, and normalize the data in the cloud to enable seamless, real-time analysis and deliver actionable insights.
We understand that acquisitions often leave organizations with a mix of systems—four different back-office systems here, a handful of POS systems there, new car wash, diesel fuel—all operating within a single chain. While this complexity might seem like it would dramatically expand the scope of a solution, it doesn’t for Taiga.
Our platform is designed to handle these scenarios effortlessly because our integrations are part of our out-of-the-box solution. Whether your stores operate on multiple POS or back-office platforms, Taiga seamlessly connects to them, consolidating and normalizing your data without the need for costly, custom-built integrations.
Skip the Build, Choose a Proven Solution
While building a custom solution might seem like an option, the reality often introduces additional challenges:
Infrastructure and Monitoring: Ensuring all systems communicate properly requires robust infrastructure and constant oversight.
- Data Quality: As the saying goes, “garbage in equals garbage out.” Without reliable data, reporting accuracy is compromised. Resolving discrepancies like mismatched UPCs and department inconsistencies requires significant effort to clean and normalize the data. Taiga’s platform handles this process automatically.
- Resource Demands: Developing and maintaining such a system requires substantial time, investment, and dedicated team members.
- Time to Value: Building an in-house integration platform can take months—or even years—to complete, delaying the insights and operational improvements your organization needs now.
For these reasons, a growing number of organizations are recognizing that “buying” a proven solution is better than “building” one from scratch. Taiga eliminates these complexities. We provide off-the-shelf integrations supported by robust infrastructure and an experienced team to ensure your data is available 24×7. We aggregate the data in the cloud, resolve data issues and catalog it according to the NACS standard to deliver reliable, consolidated reporting—without the headaches of managing it yourself.
