Highlights
00:50 — Cavallo has “owned the distribution space in the Dynamics GP ecosystem” for the last 20 years. Taking its “distribution prowess and margin hound profit” over to Business Central, Cavallo released its Profit Scan for Business Central in late February. Currently, it is free to download with a paid version arriving on March 18th.
01:34 — Profit Scan is a new application that allows companies to identify and capture low-margin line items before they are processed. Furthermore, Proft Scan enables end users “to take a proactive approach to margin control by uncovering and resolving margin issues that you program in at the outset,” ultimately providing great ROI for companies that are moving products.
03:18 — Companies can choose to run the application multiple times throughout the day, which supports its forecasting capabilities. Additionally, it’s a simple application to install and run. The product is available on AppSource and doesn’t require a partner to implement.
05:24 — Bob explains that Profit Scan encourages users to be better on margins.
“If you manage your margins, you scale your company faster, and you’ll be able to do so. You’ll have more throughput, you know, with the same headcount going forward.”
06:11 — With Profit Scan, companies can examine and audit their margins on every line item or order, scanning hundreds of line items in seconds. If companies can manage their margins before fulfillment begins, they’ll have much more time to focus on scaling their business.
07:27 — Profit Scan for Dynamics GP will be available in the Summer of 2024.
