I. Focus Forecasting ® , MyGate ®, and Microsoft ®

Since 1986 Focus Forecasting ® has been creating reliable operating system software. The major software giants create good databases. But their operating systems are crude , difficult to operate , and extremely expensive. Their communications systems are slow and so burdened with cumbersome old fashioned security that they are painful to operate. With all their good intentions they do not improve customer service , balance inventory , reduce operating cost , improve gross margin , or assist sales growth. They would not dare to give free trials or to rent the software until the company is ready to buy a license. They require heavy continuing consulting assistance and frequent costly system upgrades.

Focus Forecasting ® shines at operating systems :
Focus Forecasting ® Order Entry concepts are gold forged in over 500 company locations.
Focus Forecasting ® always makes a reasonable forecast.
Resource Planning manages 100,000's+ of inventory items.
MyGate ® allows companies to operate at supplier , customer , and employee locations.
Focus Forecasting ® software is robust. It is written using Microsoft ® C++ and MFC DLL's.

II. Weekend at Bernie's

Yesterday 2 people from Mexico visited me to review their current company system status. In preparation for the meeting they had sent me data which we analyzed together in depth. We reviewed some of the wonderful concepts on the BTSmith drawing board. They shared their current concerns and reviewed their plans for the coming year. They left with a better distribution system plan than any of us could possibly have imagined on our own. In summer I live in Lubec on the coast of Maine , in winter in Flagler Beach on the intercoastal waterway. These informal settings help companies sort out issues and prepare a way forward for the future. Call Kathy at 1-800-586-2322 to set up a visit for Flagler Beach Florida or Brad at 1-888-297-5829 to set up a visit for Lubec Maine. Or just call Bernie at 1-877-4-MyGate to chat about your plans at your company.
