One Scoop of Truth Across Every Store

Every Cold Stone location was a small business of its own, with its own point-of-sale data, its own inventory counts, and its own way of reporting up. By the time numbers reached leadership, they were days old, inconsistent, and stitched together by hand.

Leadership could not answer simple questions quickly: which regions were trending, where waste was creeping up, how a promotion actually performed across stores. The data existed, but it was scattered across systems that were never designed to talk to each other.

We built the pipelines and the reporting layer that turned hundreds of independent data streams into one trustworthy, real-time picture of the business.

• Unified data pipelinesAutomated ingestion from store point-of-sale and inventory systems into one consolidated platform.
• A single source of truthA governed data model so every store, region, and metric was defined and measured the same way.
• Real-time dashboardsLeadership dashboards that surfaced sales, trends, and waste across all locations at a glance.
• Self-service reportingRegional managers could answer their own questions without waiting on a manual report.

Leadership went from days-old, hand-assembled reports to a single real-time view of the entire franchise. Regional trends, underperforming locations, and the true impact of promotions all became visible at a glance, and the same governed foundation gave managers the ability to answer their own questions without waiting. The business could finally make decisions on what was happening now, not what had happened last week.

With one trusted data foundation in place, the focus turns to what it makes possible next: forecasting demand, optimizing inventory before waste happens, and giving every level of the business the same clear view in real time.
