Up 10-15 Cents Per Case!
I can’t think of what we don’t track with Salient’s solutions. With about 13,000 customers and 60 drivers, we now have real-time control of our profit and loss activities enterprise wide. We especially like the ability to monitor profit performance of individual sales people, and recently decided to base part of their compensation on margin delivered. This is phenomenal.
