All information collected must be accurate and complete. Each data element listed below is not required, but the more data available, the more robust the analysis and output will be when delivered to your company. For each data due date, a data export is required. At a minimum, your weekly data file must contain a ‘Unit ID’, ‘Unit Zip Code’, and ‘Total Sales’. These are the basic data points that are needed to include a unit in the results set.
