CASE STUDY: Analyzing Sales Margins & Sales History Thursday, Jan. 19 at 3:00 pm ET This webinar focuses on using the PULSE Dashboard & Analytics software to analyze sales margins. Every manufacturer and distributor that uses the Macola software needs to be able to analyze the month-by-month profitability of their products and customers.  Based on recent customer consulting projects, we will show you how to use Dashboard to analyze quickly:       - Month-by-Month Margins Analysis.        - Drill down to see the underlying details.       - Pinpoint products and customers that are creating margin erosion.       - Pinpoint products and customers that you may need to consider dropping. Bring your questions or report mockups to develop during the webinar.

Macola data clean-up for better supply chain management - Tuesday, Jan. 17 at 3:00 pm ET Imagine that you are tasked with updating vendor lead times and safety stock levels for 5,000 items. At the same time, your production team is tasked with cleaning up 1,000 bills of materials. On top of the above, there is a new company initiative to implement MRP software by April. Do you say you feel overwhelmed? This 50-minute webinar will demonstrate the Excel-based tools we have developed for maintaining your item files, bills of material, customer prices, routings, and sales forecast, etc. You import your critical data files into Excel, make the needed changes, and then export the changes back into Macola. Macola users have been using our utilities for the past ten years to update their data and keep it updated in the future. The results will be time savings, increased accuracy, and streamlined supply chain management. 

PULSE Dashboard takes your Macola® data and converts it into information for making faster and better decisions. PULSE Dashboard includes modules for top management, customer service, accounting, sales, inventory, purchasing, production, and MRP personnel. All of the analytical and information reports are pre-developed and ready to use immediately. This webinar is for potential PULSE Dashboard users who want an overview of the supply chain capabilities we have developed. If your company is already using PULSE Dashboard, but it is new to you, this is a great way to obtain a high-level overview to see what you have been missing. This is how our PULSE supply chain software works:      - Pinpoints finished good shortages based on your customer orders.      - Pinpoints production component shortages based on your production orders.      - Demand/replenishment & purchase order dates are critical.      - Imports your product sales forecast.      - New PULSE features allow you to change due dates as needed. - Our Purchase Order Generator creates vendor purchase orders with no manual keying.      - Our Purchase Order Manager Web portal lets vendors update delivery dates in real-time.      - Our MRP regeneration time phases all demand and replenishment to show you what needs to be ordered or manufactured. Remember that good things happen to those who PULSE!
