“I can give the smart summary to my warehouse managers and say, 'This is the hot list,'” said Prestipino.
The DataSelf BI system has proven valuable throughout the company. For example, it calculates sales commissions, and it has automated an inventory aging report that used to require a staff accountant all day to produce. “It's tremendously powerful,” said Prestipino.
The initial DataSelf BI deployment took about two days. Immediately afterward, Implus started to take advantage of the hundreds of reports pre-defined in the out-of-the-box solution.
DataSelf, which prides itself on its understanding of mid-sized companies' needs, used its expertise to customize the solution for Implus' specific requirements. For instance, many orders come from overseas in Swedish krona, euros, Canadian dollars and other currencies. DataSelf's consultants integrated a multi-currency module for Implus and today the system provides sales analysis in source currency or dollar equivalent.
Implus is an excellent example of a mid-size company with forward-thinking management. All decision makers, observes DataSelf Corp. CEO Joni Girardi, are constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and provide better service. “DataSelf BI clears the way to let them do that.” said Girardi, “Now Implus is free to focus on shipping products out the door.”
Headquartered in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park, Implus is an innovative leader in the “below the ankle” categories of insoles, performance socks, shoe laces and shoe care. Implus' brands include Sof Sole, Yaktrax, apara, Airplus and Sof Comfort, and are distributed in over 50,000 retail outlets across North America and in 65 countries worldwide.
