On a Monday, we would run 32 reports, which took us
-
two and a half hours just to get to one version of the truth.
-
Now, come a Monday, it takes us less than 10 minutes.
-
Previous to having Board, merchandising was done all in Excel or on
-
a legacy system. Legacy systems, as everyone's probably very aware,
-
come with some very big downsides.
-
They can be very cumbersome and very clunky.
-
Board is very seamless. It works like Excel in a lot of
-
ways, but it's just a lot slicker. It's online, so
-
you can access from anywhere. You haven't got to worry about losing any files at
-
any point in time. It's really important for us that our finance team and our
-
merchandising team are aligned. Without that, it's very difficult to
-
be cohesive. It's very difficult to plan well and
-
then execute those plans. Board allows us to do that.
-
Board allows us to start from a high-level plan,
-
working all the way down to that lower-level plan that we work on
-
a day-to-day basis. Having the reporting suite to back that
-
up allows us to look back and understand if our plans were
-
achieved, if they were tangible, and if they were a success that we
-
can use and continue forward. The way that our reports are
-
built is very user-friendly. A lot of the feedback we get from the team on
-
Board is very positive. They really enjoy the way the
-
interface works. They enjoy the interaction they have with it, and they enjoy the
-
fact that they can get to any point of information they would like
-
to within minutes or seconds. It's so user-friendly
-
compared to Excel and legacy systems that we all wonder why
-
we didn't have it earlier. It's truly a great program.
-
It will change your
-
business.
