99% of organisations fail to manage or use their data to maximum effect.

Mercato recognises and treats data as a first class citizen.

As data volumes and value continue to grow exponentially, Mercato has proven it can help organisations squeeze value from internal and external data to drive exploitable Business Intelligence as well as generate new data for better business outcomes.

Mercato Data Management offers deep technical capability for 'live' game-changing automation of functions for sourcing, aggregating, cleansing, classifying and enriching any form of data from internal inactive information to highly active product data within volatile global supply chains.

At the heart of these processes is creative development and deployment of innovative data algorithms.

These are enabling businesses to do everything from assess financial efficiency to empower sales forces and procurement professionals with information for better selling, better buying or improved service delivery.

Mercato Data Management underpins many tools within the Mercato Application Suite but can be offered as a stand-alone service.

Our methodologies go way beyond simply removing duplication of effort and manual data 'eye-balling'. At Mercato, we deliver intelligent automation built on a world-class foundation of large scale data management and aggregation across a spectrum of differing formats, languages, geography, quality and sources.

We then overlay creative methodologies like parametric searching and interrogation, integration and interoperability reporting and validation, so organizations can ream measurable value from their data.
