Data cleaning · Roswell, GA
Roswell data cleaning, from the Square to the Route 400 corridor
Roswell sells in two modes. Shops and galleries around the Town Square sell to walkers and festival crowds. Firms along the Route 400 corridor sell to other businesses. Both need sheets that count customers once.
Cleaning gallery and shop sales near Roswell Town Square
Roswell Town Square at 610 Atlanta St. is a green from founder Roswell King's original plan, and it hosts art shows and festivals such as the Mother's Day Colors Festival of Arts. A gallery or gift shop around it sells at its own counter and at those events, with separate logs for each.
We read both logs, agree one set of product and event labels with you, and apply them to every row. Prices typed as text become numbers.
Route 400 firms and their account lists
Roswell has a high-tech corridor along Route 400. A small software, staffing or services firm there keeps an account list in which a customer appears under its trade name, its legal name and a contact's name. A revenue total by account breaks across those three.
You tell us which names belong together, and a script merges them. You get the list of what we merged, so a wrong merge can be undone.
Festival weeks that fill the sheet
Roswell's festivals include the Magnolia Storytelling Festival, the Wine Festival and a July 4 fireworks event, plus a Memorial Day ceremony described as Georgia's largest, and the community lights its tree on the Square on the first Saturday in December. Each one brings a rush of entries typed in a hurry.
We align the layouts of those one-day logs with the main file, so they stop sitting off to the side.
Free partners for owners, and what they ask
Roswell Inc. keeps a resource directory that includes the Roswell Downtown Development Authority, the Greater North Fulton Chamber and Select Fulton. SCORE North Metro Atlanta offers free or low-cost volunteer mentors, and the UGA SBDC at Georgia State University offers free, confidential one-on-one consulting by appointment. A mentor can start from your numbers if the numbers are clean, and spend the hour on your plans.
Questions from Roswell owners
My Square shop and my online orders are in separate files. Can you align them?
We can apply the same labels to both files so that they compare. Joining them into one table belongs to the mining stage, and we can cover that on the call.
Can you tell a trade name from a legal name?
No script can know that alone. We list likely pairs, you confirm which ones are the same company, and then we merge.
I have notes from tours and events with no pattern. Is that cleanable?
Free text is the hardest column. We can standardize the parts that repeat, such as event names, and tell you which parts need a decision from you.
