We were able to conduct multi-dimensional costing and profitability analysis by implementing Acorn Systems’ Performance Analyzer software tool. The profitability analysis at customer, product, usage area, and geography dimensions showed us how to fill our manufacturing capacity with more profitable business. It also helped us focus our sales efforts and come up with more effective sales strategies.
