When Exploris first came out we worried that it might only be a 'typewriter' and a 'adding machine' ...as what does the JV ( company owed side of stores ) really need? The JV side pulls the A/R out and pushes it thru Oracle ... what else they do -- who knows....
BUT -- what about us Independent Jobbers -- how do we plan and manager our business .... here is a good example -- name me a report or screen that calls up a customer and gives us a good and SIMPLE scan of his purchases ... noting were he does above or BELOW average on purchases ....
One - lets work with product groups .... group all BRAKES into one bucket ... and so on ... we use these buckets below for review on sales by LINES ... but they could also be grouped for sales analysis for specific customers ... helping us see what we need to work on ...
