25 Feb 2022As a small business owner, I've come to realise that data isn't just for the big players—it's our secret weapon too. Whether it's understanding customer preferences, optimising inventory, or fine-tuning our marketing efforts, every byte of data is like a small but mighty assistant, helping us punch above our weight in the competitive arena.
