Strategic Fleet Control: The tool to honor contracts, increase trust and optimize your operations.
60% of data projects fail early (Gartner)—not due to tech, but preventable mistakes. Here’s what to watch for:
1. No Clear Goals
- Mistake: Buying tools without defined use cases.
- Fix: Tie KPIs to business outcomes (e.g., “Cut logistics costs by 15%”).
2. Poor Data Quality
- Mistake: Decisions based on dirty/unstructured data.
- Example: A retailer lost $2M due to inaccurate inventory records.
3. No Governance
- Mistake: Free-for-all access with no security policies.
- Solution: Role-based access + centralized data dictionary.
4. Change Resistance
- Mistake: Rolling out complex tools without training.
- Tip: Pilot programs with power users first.
5. Trendy Tech Overload
- Mistake: Implementing AI without foundational data pipelines.
- Rule: Master ETL before machine learning.
