Cost
control, accounts receivable management, labor and materials
overages, resource allocation . . . the complexity of
running a small business is really no different than
operating a Fortune 1000 company. The difference is
the Fortune 1000 company has large staffs and expensive
systems to keep things straight. We all know these are
luxuries that are neither affordable nor practical for
a small business. Without top-level management review
and oversight any operation gets out of control. Gains
in revenue are lost in costs that are not managed or
watched.
The testimonials of virtually every
Chronicle user speak to the gains in net
margins experienced year over year after going with
Chronicle. "I found that once we
had Chronicle on line, I was able to focus
again on the important aspects of my business. There
was less time spent chasing information department by
department, wishing I really knew what my people were
doing and what was going on in my business day to day",
states Steve Manchester of Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Steve's
testimony is proven in the numbers. The net margin in
his business has increased 15 percentage points over
the last 2 years using Chronicle. Similar
results have been seen. The story is the same in a similar
business located in Seattle, WA where Mike Mack says
that the net margin has improved 5 percentage points
in the past year alone after seeing substantial improvement
the year before; proving that Chronicle
continues to give business a platform to increase margins
not just in the first year, but year after year.
Chronicle tracks and
consolidates all of the critical elements of your business.
Managers have on line access to the critical information
that drives the business, including active and completed
job reports, customer receivable information and variance
reports by job and by department. And when things start
going right again, it will be easy to shoot a quick
e-mail from your Chronicle system to your office manager
thanking her for the job well done, with the help of
Chronicle, of course!
