Unified Reporting – One Truth to Rule Them All

You can’t run a growing retail business on bad data — but that’s exactly what happens when your systems don’t talk to each other..

Every retailer wants better reporting. But what they really need is a single source of truth.

You’ve probably heard all the buzzwords: data lakes, data warehouses, dashboards, cubes, pipelines, lakeshows, snowflakes (yes, that’s a real thing). It’s easy to get lost in the jargon.

At Pine Peak, we help you cut through the noise and get to what matters: trustworthy data you can use.

The Reporting Headaches You Know Too Well

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone:

  • Your POS and eCommerce sales don’t match
  • Inventory reports lag days behind
  • You have to export from three systems just to build one dashboard
  • Different departments argue over whose numbers are “right”

It’s not that you don’t have data — it’s that you have too many versions of it. And that makes it hard to trust any of them.

Why Unified Reporting Matters

With unified data:

  • Sales are tracked consistently across all channels
  • Inventory reflects current availability
  • Promotions and campaigns can be evaluated with confidence
  • Everyone’s decisions are based on the same numbers

Unified doesn’t just mean consolidated — it means reliable. Everyone sees the same numbers, whether they’re in the store, in the warehouse, or at HQ.

What It Looks Like in Action

Imagine being able to:

See same-day sales performance across all locations

Identify your best-selling items by channel and timeframe

Pinpoint inventory risks before they cause out-of-stocks

Track loyalty impact and customer behavior by segment

This is how high-performing retailers stay agile — and profitable.
