“In our legacy ERP system, we had a custom tool that we called a sales budget summary. We have a way of looking at all our customers and all the models that each customer buys from us. And then we have both a combination of actual orders and what we predict. So, the forecast for the fiscal year is then coupled with various material and labor costs. It then gives us a picture of what we think the budget for the year will be or what the company will do within the fiscal year from a sales perspective. We have that dialed in in the legacy system. Initially, it was all about re-creating that setup using something in Epicor.”
