Operational Impact
The implementation of the Mar-Kov system has brought about significant operational benefits for Fancy Farm. The end of month review process by accounting has driven the project to its current, highly accurate state. Every month since going live, the balances in Mar-Kov have been reconciled to GL balances in QuickBooks. The variance meant something needed research or fixing. The system has proven to be reliable, requiring near no maintenance, especially with the hosted deployment. The implementation service and support was personal and in context with the Fancy Farm business processes. The commitment from the Fancy Farm team to keep the system correct and accurate, continuously, ensures production decisions are made based on real business conditions. The users are able to update the application on their tablets, real time, wherever they are in the plant. After 2 years of using the Mar-Kov system, Fancy Farm is now working with larger customers, delivering larger volume. | |
