As a retailer, what can I do to improve the data on my TrackFly dashboard?

With the data that TrackFly pulls from your POS system, we are able to populate your dashboard to provide you with valuable information to help you make decisions while running your business. This data is most valuable when it is accurate, so here are some tips to make it as accurate as possible.  

• Use UPCs whenever possible - TrackFly has been working hard to compile a "master catalog" of products made up of catalog information provided by brands/suppliers. As data is pulled into TrackFly from your POS, we check the UPCs of the products against our master catalog. If a UPC matches one in our master catalog, we can be certain about which product it is and can properly categorize it and match it up to the correct brand/supplier. TrackFly also uses other means to identify products but using UPCs is the most accurate. Whenever possible, applying the UPCs of the brands/suppliers to products in your POS will help ensure your data is properly categorized in TrackFly. 
• Leverage the categorization in your POS - If you aren't already doing so, creating and diligently using categories in your POS system can greatly improve the accuracy of categorization within the TrackFly system. TrackFly has created its own categorization taxonomy and we would be happy to consult with you on the categorization within your own POS. If you are needing assistance with this, please reach out to us at support@trackfly.com. 
• Provide as much information as possible - We know, it is hard sometimes to enter ALL of the information for a product in your POS system but the more information you can add, the more accurate we can be when categorizing it for you! Adding the correct vendor/brand/company, a thorough description, and the complete name for a product are some things that will be very helpful.
