Testimonials

“High Impact has been extremely collaborative when it comes to building dashboards in Pharos that help us quickly get insights into our performance at Walmart. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the dynamic visualization of our data has sped up our analysis and allowed us to quickly speak to and illustrate data, which allows us to truly move at the speed of business.”

Laura Rowland - B&G Foods

“Pharos by High Impact provides us the ability to view levels of detail that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to get. It has been instrumental in helping us grow through a data driven approach. The team at High Impact are key to our merchants and management.”

Eli Tobias - Fit For Life

“Pharos is amazing at my desk and on the go. Mostly the new dashboards have been most helpful on the go… It’s tough navigating files on an iPhone when you are trying to find out instocks quickly… being able to click the links and have the data available so quickly and easy to navigate is priceless!”

Andrew Mull - Flybar
