Case Study:
Resort Golf
Shop
The chart
above is of a shop that transitioned from a "good"
spreadsheet to OTBW.
At this ($500,000/Year) shop, the increased margins
amount to ($36,000/Year)!
Nothing else changed. Same management, same buyer,
same everything.
Looked at another way - $36,000/year had been the annual
COST of
the "free spreadsheets" they had been using before automation.
How much input time was required? About
36
hours/year.
Was that time well spent? $36,000/36 hours =
$1000/Hour
How
can an inventory plan make such a large difference in
gross margins?
OTBW optimizes inventory in every classification and
updates o-t-b calculations every month.
Improved margins are the result of optimum inventory in every
classification every month.
This improves profits, return on investment and every other
measure of good retail management.
Was it worth the price of the program?
$36,000/$1639 price = A very large Return on Investment!
The investment is only the first year - the returns
continue indefinitely.
Attempting to
manually out-calculate an O-T-B computer is a very
costly decision!
Even World
Chess Champions CANNOT beat Computers!

|
For
the same reasons, even the most experienced Shop
Managers CANNOT beat the OPEN TO BUY WIZARD computer
program.
The rules and objectives of both
O-T-B and chess are very simple:
Master Planning of either is another matter.
Both Chess and O-T-B are very planning intensive.
The Computer Wins Every Time!
Playing chess is fun - even for non-experts.
However, Inventory investment is not a game. It is
not personal.
It is business function and requires a business system!
