To borrow a lesson from Charles Darwin, it is not the strongest or most intelligent that survives - it's the ones that are most adaptable to change. Evidently, the same notion runs down in the DNA of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises as well. In order to recast its systematic behaviour as per the changing prospective and already prevailing challenges in the market, the MSMEs worldwide need to attune its functionalities in synchronous with their burgeoning business related data (such as targeted customer data, individual product sales, inventory management and many more). However, in addition to the lack of technical know how, analysis of such volumes of business data is not low on budget. Envisioning bringing the power of information and analytics to the MSME fabric, Bangalore-based Clustr (incubated in Tally Solutions) is a big league player in Analytics and Big Data exclusively targeting millions of startup enterprises within the first few years of their live operations.

Progress through Partnership on Market Insights
While most Big Data and Analytics companies target larger enterprises solely on profit making terms, Clustr (est. 2013) strips the concept of Big Data of all its mystery and glamour and brings the power of information to the hands of the millions of MSMEs that make up the backbone of the economy. Further, where most Analytics companies targeting the MSME space fail in large scale due to their inability to access the market whereabouts, Clustr’s partnership with Tally puts it in a superlative position to deliver its services to millions. Leveraging Tally’s 30 years of expertise in the software space for SMEs,Clustr intends to integrate its services with the Tally Solutions through APIs, thereby allowing the team to deliver powerful and relevant insights in making the existing product even more impactful in the market.

Usually the SMEs are comfortable with the way they

have been running their businesses. However, Clustr has taken a step back to contemplate on the impact of relevant business information enabling them to make faster and more data driven decisions, while bringing efficiency in information collection and consumption.

Enabling Data-Driven Decisions
It often takes a lot of trial and error by small scale retailers to figure out what he/she should stock and how much. Without this knowledge, the retailer often ties up a lot of cash in stock which doesn’t move very well. What if these business owners had visibility into what products are moving in the market and what products are likely to move well in the market? Catering the need of the hour, Clustr ideates to bring this information to retailers’ fingertips enabling them to make data-driven stocking decisions that lead to more optimized use of shelf space, smarter stocking decisions and controlled cash flow.

While most Analytics firm analyse only a company’s own data to generate insights by analyzing the past sales of a company in order to predict its future sales trends, Clustr provides market insights that enables companies to benchmark themselves against their industrial peers in getting accurate demographic information and procuring information about real time trends that impact them. “Whether it's a local grocery store or the small ball bearings manufacturer in town, we’re not trying to solve a small/large problem, instead we’re trying to fundamentally change the way a business functions by brining the power of information to them who are the backbone of India's economy," asserts Nupur Goenka,Co-Founder, Clustr.
