Situation
FairWave Specialty Coffee Collective is a brew of distinct brands united by their passion for local specialty coffees and experiences. FairWave continues to expand its footprint through acquisitions.
Challenge
- FairWave was looking for help obtaining a holistic view of performance across each cafe and roaster. Multiple POS systems and ERPs were used prior to being rolled-up, creating an environment of varying datasets.
- Likewise, growth has come from acquisitions, which requires new locations to be pulled in quickly.
Action
- Connected to 67 different ERP and POS systems and ran data through BUCS proprietary FP&A platform.
- Consolidated POS data in clean, easy-to-understand data structure allowing users to provide quick mappings of products throughout.
- Created daily, weekly and monthly sales reports for the leadership team that highlighted trends and variances across locations, customers and products.
Result
30+ Hourssaved each month by not having to manually consolidate disparate data. Created the ability to understand
the performance of newly acquired
companies prior to integrating them into FairWave’s systems
“BUCS has been instrumental in our ability to make data-driven business decisions. Working in a company where acquisitions are a key part of our strategy, BUCS has allowed us to consolidate data, track KPls and gain valuable insights as we work to implement them into our systems.”
