Written by Setuply | Jun 25, 2024 3:00:00 PM

Managing project and client data can become a daunting task with files spread across shared drives, multiple spreadsheets, and overflowing inboxes (hopefully secure). Data management challenges extend beyond just locating information. Lost time, potential errors, staying updated on what's collected versus missing, and the constant back-and-forth all contribute to frustrations, especially during critical client engagement phases.

Here are the most common frustrations expressed by B2B solution providers relying on disjointed data collection tools and methods:

 

The Challenges of Working Without Integrated Data Repository Solutions

 

Difficulty Finding and Accessing Data

Imagine your team is onboarding a new client, but crucial data is scattered across various platforms. Access issues arise, historical data retrieval is cumbersome, and workflow slowdowns and data loss risks increase, especially during team members' absences.

 

Extended Project Timelines

When clients provide data in different formats or fail to enter it correctly or completely, project team members can spend countless hours validating, updating, and reformatting the data. These extra data management steps can delay project timelines, pushing back revenue recognition and negatively impacting the client experience.

 

Higher Likelihood of Errors

Manual data management is prone to human error. When project teams are tasked with pouring over data to ensure its accuracy, it’s easy to miss data points. Corrupted data can then be pushed into the system and have large repercussions on your operations.

 

The Hassle of Chasing Clients for Data

Without a clear and streamlined data collection process, team members can spend valuable time sending out reminders and asking clients for data. This lack of clarity slows down the entire onboarding process, making it difficult to keep projects on track.
