Data Bureau

Zonal's Data Bureau experts are here to help

Let us manage your data - letting you manage your profit.

We can be your head office, your data administrators, your system set up specialists and so much more. Setting up your data to reflect a new company structure or business process can be a tricky and time consuming process. The EPoS specialists in our Data Bureau team can carry out these tasks quickly and effectively, making appropriate system efficiency recommendations into the bargain.

Business Benefits Accurate Data Set Up - the key requirement for effective reporting and transparent stock control.

Confidence in your EPoS system - our team can ensure that you maintain your competitive edge by matching your EPoS configuration to the exact operational needs of your site or head office.

Faster data changes - no-one can match us for the speed of our data entry and maintenance. More up-to-date databases mean more visibility of business performance.

Permanent or ad-hoc - we can be your permanent head office EPoS specialists and system administrators. To cover for staff holidays, sickness or to streamline the implementation of a new system or software version, we can operate on an ad-hoc basis - charging only for the hours we work.

Make Our Team Your Team

Our own team of dedicated Data Bureau Consultants are more than just Zonal EPoS system specialists. They all have hospitality industry backgrounds and are very proficient in the principles of data set up and of the various profitable business models in use throughout the hospitality industry today. In short, they know about products, stock definitions and implications, and the associated procedures required for the smooth running of a licenced retail business.

In many of our Data Bureau projects, we provide much more benefit than just the initial data set up or maintenance task requested and expect to leave our clients with a slicker configuration that significantly improves the effectiveness of their head office and sites. New EPoS systems and software versions may benefit your business but there is an overhead on time to implement the new system and train your staff. Our Data Bureau Service can minimise any risk and staff downtime and get you trading at your best in record time.

In many hospitality businesses, staff who have EPoS system data responsibility also have other key duties as part of their role. These divided loyalties are not in the best interests of your data! When we are contracted to perform Data Bureau Services, this is our only focus and our full attention is guaranteed.

For our larger clients, we always appoint a dedicated member of staff who develops a close relationship with your business processes and familiarity with you and your database. Future tasks are more streamlined as a result.

Bureau Service charges are based on blocks of escalated time payable in advance or, if you prefer our ad-hoc service, it can be covered in an appropriate pay-as-you-go agreement.

The majority of our support work is carried out remotely by our staff in Milton Park by dialling in to the client system. However, to perform a more comprehensive Bureau Service function, we can host your system - either taking the place of your head office or taking a larger responsibility for data control. Hosting allows us to keep a more careful eye on proceedings and identify areas that need prompt action, such as:
