Jewelry direct sales company saves over $100,000 per year using SpoolFlex to email thousands of sales reports weekly. Up-to-the-minute sales data helps sales managers focus on goals and results.
Overview: A solution that paid for itself in just one month
Jewels by Park Lane (JBPL) is a direct sales company selling jewelry via the party plan method. The nature of their business demands they keep up with the latest trends in fashion, which they’ve done exceptionally well. However, their manual method of printing and mailing weekly sales reports to sales managers couldn’t keep up with the company’s continual growth. The JBPL sales managers often didn’t receive the reports until five or more business days after they were printed, making it difficult to review and compare sales results against personal and team goals.
The independent programmer who created the customized software for JBPL realized that DRV Technologies’ SpoolFlex software for IBM System i (i5, iSeries, AS/400) could deliver the sales reports much more quickly than human hands could. He promised the JBPL owners that SpoolFlex would pay for itself in savings in just one month. And he was right.
