Should I hyphenate "up-to-the-minute" in this case?

I have had a look at some examples on here, but I am still not sure. Should I hyphenate "up-to-the-minute" in this sentence?

OR

We can supply you with up to the minute intelligence on distributors, companies and geographical locations, allowing you to make an informed decision.

I am leaning toward hyphenating as it is an adjective for intelligence, and also a longer sentence so possibly misread, but I am not sure.

Solution 1:

Yes. It is not absolutely necessary, but I think this is one of the easier calls with hyphenation; adding clarity in combining the entire adjective into one unit, and matching quite a few dictionaries (most have it either as hyphenated or as both with hyphens predominant among the cited examples).
