National Debt and Other Fun Children’s Stories

I was reading a post on-line a few days ago about both the President and Congress agreeing that things are improving in our nation’s economy. Jobless numbers finally took a small decline and consumer confidence is up (even just a tiny bit) for the first time in many months. Funny though, ‘Things looking up’ when our national economy is facing what seems to be an insurmountable year-over-year budget deficit just does not seem to make sense.

A Day in the Life of a Foodservice Manufacturer CFO

by John Nicholas Todd is a CFO for a mid size foodservice manufacturer. He is frustrated! He just asked his Director of Finance to provide him with a report on the dollars and cents impact of raising the price on one of their SKU’s. He simply wanted to know, based on last year’s sales, what the price increase would mean for their bottom-line. It seemed like a simple request on the surface, but the Director of Finance explained to him, that before she could get the numbers to Todd, she needed

Apple iPad - Game Changer for Contract Management

If you monitor Twitter, Apple-related news, or technology gadgets in general, you probably know that the Apple tablet is being revealed - about right now, in fact (1:00 EST).

I pulled the transcript of a webinar about Standardization & Communication in Foodservice Trade Promotion Management presented by Roth Block, COO – Answers Systems and Tom Rector, President – Foodservice University®.

A Pending! Why? I Entered a Contract for This!

Posted by Sue Sanford As the Training Manager for the ContractPro solution at Answers Systems, I have seen many contracts created by a Sales Rep/Broker that cannot be used to pay on the claims submitted for that contract. The creator (Sales Rep/Broker) logs into the ContractPro application and finds a pending or learns that their customer has not been paid. What do they do now?
