FAQ

Because each client is different and we customize each solution, we've created a simple process to get you what you need: 

1. Client Intake Form

2. Virtual Assessment

3. Project Plan & Proposal

Once we narrow in on your exact needs, we'll get started on what you're looking for. 

We work best with ERP and process-driven data. Here are some good examples: 

• Inventory

• Purchase Orders / Procurement

• Accounting

• Sales Orders & Payments

• Warehouse Operations

• Quality Management

We don't currently have the infrastructure to handle streaming data, but we're always up for a challenge. 

Our client's data is our #1 priority. We take a number of steps to ensure 100% security for all data infrastructure: 

1. All data pipelines (ETL's) are fully encrypted end to end

2. Dashboard Permissions are customized to protect the client to their level of comfort

3. Proactively remove or archive data that is not being actively used

4. Passwords are randomly generated for all credentials

5. Passwords and Client files are never shared via email, text, slack, or other channel

Clients are welcome to audit our security practices at any time. We're always striving to improve and welcome all suggestions.

We do not currently have certifications for SOC2, FISMA, PCI DSS, or GLB. 

No matter your industry, we're confident we can help you, since data is so universal. Since we specialize in Supply Chain Data, we focus on the industries that have complex supply chain requirements. Here are some of the industries our team has worked with: 

• Automotive

• Energy

• Telecom

• Manufacturing

• Semiconductor

• Consumer Packaged Goods

• Metal Processing

There are many paths you can take with your Supply Chain Data! Here are a few options: 

1. Do it yourself. Keep it internal. Level up your team's current skills. If you have a spreadsheet wizard in your company, you'll probably be OK for a while. The cost is $0 additional. The downside? There will be a lot of wasted time and the solution won't be as robust as bringing in data experts.

2. Hire your own data or engineering team. For our dashboard tasks, here are the roles we fill and the average base salaries in the US (no benefits). 

   1. Data Analyst: $66,136

   2. Data Engineer: $95,438

   3. Data Scientist: $103,600

This is $265k/year base salary for all three roles. For automation and custom development, similar salaries are present. You can get the same results with WIPP Data for a fraction of the price! 

3. Find another technology agency. There are plenty of companies that will build you a dashboard. But very few have deep technical expertise in Supply Chain and manufacturing. When you think Supply Chain Data, think WIPP Data.
