Old Software:

Kangaroo Brands, a family bakery based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin had a MAS90 system in place. Kangaroo Brands struggled to produce timely sales reports that were meaningful.

Problem:

It took eight hours to run the sales reports only if everyone was out of the system, if nothing bad happened, if nothing crashed. They prepared three versions so it required three evenings to run. Additionally, they were difficult to reconcile both to each other and to their accounting records.

Time and Labor at Stake:

In addition to the long and frustrating lead time to run the reports, business decisions were being made using stale numbers.

Software Solution:

MAS90 data mining tools.

Customer Service Improvements:

"These reporting tools help us to identify trends in different markets and regions. Then we are able to drill down to customer-specific data and work with customers in under- or over-performing markets."

Effort & Labor Savings:

The people who need the reports can run them all on their own at any time. Nobody has to wait for anyone else to share precious data. Now that the decision makers have confidence in the numbers they've expanded their impact on critical business decisions, from production planning to compensation.
