Complex data management processes reduce operational efficiency
Rough Country faced challenges managing product (ERP) and asset (Dropbox) databases in different systems, leading to time-consuming tasks for the marketing and sales teams. The marketing team struggled with the time-consuming process of product and asset data enrichment, validation, and approval. The sales team also faced difficulties coping with complex processes, including enrichment, validation, approval, and product and asset information publishing. The ACES database, used for mapping products to vehicle models, was burdensome to manage manually. Compatibility mapping of products with vehicle models using the ACES database was challenging, and syndicating data on third-party sales channels like AutoZone and O'Reilly required manual effort. The lack of data governance also led to poor data quality, making it difficult to maintain accurate and reliable information.
