OK – Exploris has issues .. but would be interesting in have some senior staff discuss this from their level.
1) How many ‘bugs’ are as a result of programing errors with DC ADIS and the new ‘system’ that is coming ?
2) How many are pricing issues that is separate from what Exploris take blame on
3) There are other large systems ( in Canada there is Canadian Tire and Uni-Select ) – how do they merge their DC systems with Exploris to have fewer problems ( or do they have as many ?
I have been a ‘positive’ critic of Exploris for a long time. For example
I was their first to be fired from the Jobber counsel ( remember Joe Z ).
I started a Exploris blog to point out some issues – with posts that started in 2012 ( we were one of the last jobbers to get Exploris in 2009 ) –I have nearly given this up now as time demands limit this …. Just google exploriscomputer to find this blog
In summary I can’t believe trashing the system is the right answer for this point in time and with the new DC systems coming ( as a Cdn we are always the last to know )
Lets chip away at the issues and focus on what a good system is. Please do not think I am a ‘cheerleader’ for CQ ..I have known a few of these guys over the years …. Everything is prefect … OMG …. Not me!!! … but you have to be a rational problem solver and ‘chucking the entire system’ doesn’t seem to make sense.
