So what’s the difference between Lowe’s and your business when it comes to optimization?  They have the staff with the training and responsibility for building these systems. You’re running lean and mean.  There’s a lot of software on the market that claims to make it easy. But you probably don’t have the time to tackle this yourself and your staff isn’t qualified.  When considering the best way to take your business to the next level, instead of looking for do-it-yourself software consider a partnership. Find the right consultants who can lead employees from each department through a process of getting best practices from everyone and loading it into a system.
