Running a good business requires a good strategy and a good strategy relies on good intelligence. When you’re selling hundreds of thousands of products to time-sensitive customers, the quality of your intelligence can be a life-or-death issue.
Here’s why Performance Manager is so powerful:
- It’s integrated within the IBS Enterprise suite, so you can be confident in the quality of information.
- It’s designed for distribution excellence so, from the beginning, you get the key performance indicators you need.
- It’s easy to analyze the data in your own way and create your own reports.
- It uses some pretty impressive charting and formatting technologies so you can really see what your business is doing.
Fast, reliable information
Out-the-box reports include
- Order accuracy rates
- Asset turn ratios
- Fill rates
- Inventory days of supply
- Inventory turns
- Value-added per employee
- Purchase and sales ratios
A pre-configured solution from wholesale distribution experts
IBS Performance Manager delivers a pre-defined data warehouse. It starts generating reports in a week while a custom solution often takes months.
But, because we bring together distribution, industry and local expertise, our standard solution achieves an average 80% fit with procurement specifications. That figure is impossible to achieve for software vendors who lack our knowledge.
And it’s scaleable, so it will grow with you as you develop from a single warehouse to a multi-company, global enterprise.
