Excerpts
from the "IBM Distribution Digest"
on the MARS-IW installation at ED PHILLIPS & SONS - Now Badger WestWhat do Users of the MARS System Say About It?
Ease Of Use
"The MARS system performs all of the mathematical calculations
of building the 'perfect' order." Rick Look -
Waugh Foods / Illinois
Quick Pay-out
Because of such productivity enhancements and because
of the relatively low price of the stand-alone PC-based package,
as compared to mainframe-based or networked systems, the
return-on-investment was realized by Midas in an extraordinarily
brief time-frame [Jim Denney, Vice President of
Product Services] estimates as "a couple of months at
most."
Ease Of Installation
"From a technical perspective, the point-and-click simplicity
and user-friendliness of the system is one of its greatest assets and
contributors to productivity. It took only 15 days of M.I.S. involvement,
he (Al Davidson, Midas Director of MIS) says, to build the interface to
the mainframe.
Reduced Inventories -
Increased Fill Rates
"Since I have been using Mars, it has made my work life a lot
less stressful. Mars projects your needs quickly and efficiently. My
average inventory has gone down as well as my out of stocks. Mars is the
most cost effective way to control your inventory I have come
across."
Jared Anderson - Congress Inc. / North Dakota.
Excellent Support
"NBDS has been great to work with making improvements to make the
interface more intuitive." Tim Koerner - John E.
Koerner Co. / Louisiana
Excerpts
from the "IBM Distribution Digest"
on the MARS-IW installation at ED PHILLIPS & SONS - Now Badger West
….."the system also optimizes the content of each shipment. Under the old system we were ordering things we didn’t actually need yet…..
…(in describing the problem of filling out a partial truck load) "Now we can pinpoint exactly what we want. What the system does is fill the truck with a product mix that we need, rather than just any old product….. MARS does it in minutes."
"It’s been some of the best money we’ve ever spent, " says Tim Horan. "Our inventory is running $200,000 less and our fill rate has improved."
