Your Warehouse is not your Fridge!
This session, based on Jeff’s forthcoming book, will show you how to get your warehouse in order and turn it into a competitive advantage. VISUAL ERP is a great tool for scheduling and tracking production. However, it was never built to manage materials. During this session we will discuss the secret recipe for turning VISUAL into a materials management machine. BONUS: The first 30 registrants will receive a signed copy of Jeff’s book "Your Warehouse is Not Your Fridge".

Mobilizing VISUAL Beyond Your Four Walls
Manufacturers and distributors are transitioning their companies to include various forms of customer support outside of the four walls, including field service, maintenance, installation, and engineering. Sales teams are on the move and need access to ERP data to follow leads, nurture opportunities, build quotes, and drive new revenue. Shop floor workers need to access VISUAL data to get real-time information on their jobs, track their labor, and move materials in order to streamline operations and avoid costly errors.

The need to mobilize VISUAL is here and every organization requires solutions that makes these workers more efficient, productive, and valuable.

How can you quickly mobilize your VISUAL ERP implementation? What pain points do each of these mobile teams face with mobile access to ERP data? How have other companies resolved these issues? And most importantly, what can you learn from them?
