Some areas of the system might need improvement in this regard, but the team is actively working toward improvments. **What problems is 42 solving and how is that benefiting you?** I think 42 helps us look at our numbers in a different lense. It is also a 1 place for all where you can have retail, online, traffic, stock... everything in one place and easly compare these values side by side. ### 2.

I'll struggle moving to another business that doesn't have a product as strong as this - it's really the new standard for me. **Recommendations to others considering 42:** Make sure you have your system landscape and reporting understood, so the team can support with your pinch-points and show you where the product can add real value. **What problems is 42 solving and how is that benefiting you?** 42 allows us to see all our data in one place. No more merging huge spreadsheets of data in order to produce the most basic reports.

The application itself is adaptive to mobile too, so it makes it even better at getting a top-level snapshot of how a particular unit, category, store or region is performing by the hour. ### 5.
