Business Efficiency: Could An Operational Review Improve Your Bottom Line?
Your team just completed another month-end close or other recurring, operational process that took much more time than expected. The process included several manual components and frustrated you and your team. You decide to find a way to improve this process, but then you get pulled in another direction and the inefficiency lives on.
The same inefficient process continues the following month. However, this time you attempt to solve the problem. As you peel back the layers of the issue, you realize there are many moving parts and systems involved in producing the business results you need. You are quickly overwhelmed and determine that more time and assistance are needed. Therefore, the inefficiencies continue.
Unfortunately, these ineffective practices could be costing you, your department, and your organization a great deal of money, as well as wasted time, a stressed team, and unknown risks that may not be discovered until it’s too late.

Using Syspro ERP. our “Day-End” takes about 5 minutes and our “Month-End” takes about 1/2 Hour.
I think that pretty good, so we have no interest.
