Black Friday Preparation for Distributors

November 12, 2019 By Kirsten Austin

Black Friday Prep“Black Friday” sounds a little sinister, but its name comes from the famous Friday after Thanksgiving when folks take a day off work solely dedicated to Christmas shopping; a noble cause but the sheer volume of people can cause all sorts of mayhem. People in the United States have been conditioned to spend their hard earned consumer dollars on these events laden with special discounts and super deals. Every year this is a major shopping event that retailers and distributors must prepare for and has even expanded to “Cyber Monday” as digital transformation and e-Commerce continue to dominate the markets. Hectic stores plus quick-selling online deals – Whew this could go really wrong. What can you do to get it right?

Mergers and Acquisitions

Merger and Acquisitions Blog (2)Mergers and Acquisitions – How Do You Navigate this With Your WMS and Shipping Software?

Just within the past five years of my career spanning over two decades, I cannot believe the number customers who have been acquired, purchased another company, or merged. With so many things that need to be considered, there could easily be dictionaries written about the do’s and don’ts of Mergers and Acquisitions including employees, assets, debts, license agreements, processes, locations, accounts, finance, etc. Now, I’d like to discuss my favorite topic; how should your inventory control and shipping systems be addressed? Here are our recommendations.

How To Ensure a Successful Go Live

October 3, 2019 By Kirsten Austin

How To Ensure a Successful Go Live (1)The Dreaded Excellent Go Live!

We’ve all heard the horror stories of failed software implementations, so let’s discuss successful deployments and how to avoid problems.

We’ll start with the basics. First, a Go Live Date is the actual date you’re going to use the technology in your existing Live or Production Environment. This means employees will now be using newer technology to perform their daily jobs. Next, our company has a very structured approach to implementations that we’ve perfected over the years. Initial sales, implementation, training, testing, and planning are all components which precede a successful Go Live when performed correctly. You can actually read about this in our blog, 6 Vital Keys to ERP & WMS Implementation Success.

Here are some other tips to ensure you have a successful Go Live:

DCSC Customer Summit – Post Play Recap

September 24, 2019 By Kirsten Austin

DCSC Cust Summit Horz
A huge thank you to our Vendors, Team Members, Partners and Sponsors for our first ever Customer Summit in Estes Park, Colorado!  Everyone seemed to enjoy the YMCA of the Rockies! Not only did we see deer and other wildlife blended into an ideal location, the staff really knows how to accommodate group events and the relaxed atmosphere was a welcome change to stuffy over-priced hotels elsewhere. We were delighted that many of our clients and vendors brought their significant others to take advantage of this gorgeous location and make a mini-vacation of it.  Of course there was excitement as several of us witnessed an amazing Elk Rut from a relatively safe distance. Trust us, we did not stick around to figure out the winner but certainly know that both of those guys meant business.

Be Unique, Don’t Try To Imitate

July 26, 2019 By Kirsten Austin

Be Unique BlogThe other day I was at a restaurant and it seemed like the entire staff was just following the motions. I was once a server, so I was a little surprised. I remember hard days, issues in the kitchen, and crabby customers and yet I still put my little spin on the job. I tried my best to be positive (hey while at work, work) and even signed my “bills” with a little cartoon moon saying Goodnight and Thank You. Even in the most structured, menial, or meaningful job you can still be you! Let’s take a look at why this can help you with success.Read More

KPI – What Does That Mean?

February 14, 2019 By Kirsten Austin

KPIBy nature I have always been a very competitive person. I’ve learned early on that tragedies can happen, your skill set may not rival others, or you may just not be a natural at something. One year I was feeling a little down as I thought I should be further in certain areas of my life and a wonderful mentor of mine asked me what was I even comparing myself to? He then said, “Take a look at a few things here. At one time you were waiting tables and now you are an owner of a company with a very long history and employees who count on you. Long ago you did not even know how the chess pieces moved and lost every game you played. Now you’re someone to be reckoned with. You’re not really looking at the total picture.”

What does this have to do with KPIs? A KPI is a key performance indicator. They are used to evaluate the performance or success of any given task, program, employee, etc. So, what makes it so important to anyone in the business world?
