USI Selects Manage Metrix for Proactive Business Performance Management
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Multichannel Retailer USI Inc. Chooses Manage Metrix – Co-Developed By Taurus Software and F. Curtis Barry & Company – For Proactive Business Performance Management
Redwood City, CA. and Richmond, VA; June 24, 2010 – Taurus Software and F. Curtis Barry & Company, announced back on February 22, 2010 that USI Inc., a leading supplier of lamination equipment and office accessories, has selected to implement the Manage Metrix solution. As an Ecometry client, USI is excited about the combination of Taurus’ leadership in data warehousing, analytics and business intelligence and F. Curtis Barry & Company’s knowledge of the multichannel industry, benchmarking and best business practices coming together in a unique business intelligence and performance management solution. USI and the Manage Metrix co-developers will be working on streamlining business efficiencies in the Inventory department, where USI’s goals are to balance inventory, reduce backorders, and maximize customer satisfaction.
USI chose Manage Metrix because of several factors, including the dynamic Taurus/FCBCO partnership, the solution’s valuable functionality, and the long-standing relationship that USI and Taurus have enjoyed throughout the years of Taurus developing specialized solutions for Ecometry customers.
“Over the years, we have been working with multiple Taurus Software solutions,” states Peter Frega, Director of Operations at USI. “We have been completely satisfied with their valuable products, ease of use, and superb functionality. Even still, we are more excited about implementing Manage Metrix since we have never seen anything quite like this.”
USI will be monitoring their inventory pulse using the Manage Metrix Inventory Analytics through the corporate dashboard, which yield insight on how to free up dollars in unproductive inventory, minimize backorder occurrences, processing costs and lost customers, balance rate of sales and purchases for active inventory, and automatically identifying the most productive and valuable tasks. In addition, the consultants at F. Curtis Barry & Company will be working closely with USI to establish best business practices and interpret the key performance indicators (KPIs). The KPIs illustrate what areas in inventory are excelling and proactively alert executives and managers to possible areas of concern.
“Managing inventory is so important because it’s one of the largest assets we have,” says Peter Frega. “Inventory impacts our other departments as well as our customers, and managing inventory is a challenge since inventory levels change hourly. We used to spend 80% of our time generating reports, and 20% of our time strategizing. With Manage Metrix, we expect to spend 20% of our time generating reports, and 80% of our time strategizing.”
Manage Metrix also has two additional modules, Merchandising and Marketing; which are ready for beta testing.
