Uncovering Better Business Insights with Data Analytics and Warehousing

Black Clover is a lifestyle apparel brand established in 2008 in Draper, Utah. Known for their premium hats, clothing and accessories, Black Clover has expanded across the US and to over 30 countries worldwide.

As a young company, Black Clover started on QuickBooks for financials and Fishbowl for inventory management. Their disparate systems resulted in data silos and inaccurate reports. Even as their business grew and they transitioned to NetSuite, their data was still causing them headaches. Eide Bailly helped them take control of their data chaos by moving all of their data into a data warehouse and creating a customized reporting solution so that they could have complete visibility into their business.

Since we started with Eide Bailly in 2016, we have grown about 400%. The reason is because we are able to look at our reports during the day and see where our weaknesses are and react to those things so that we can turn them into a growth channel. The dashboards are critical. If you want to scale your business, you’ve got to be able to see it."

"Our new reports allow us to monitor our business in real-time, helping us make both tactical and strategic decisions. One of the smartest decisions we have made as a company. "
