A "Better than Real Time" user talks about it changed their business

"I run my business each and every minute of the day. Like just about everyone else, we used overnight batch processing to collect our information. To us that meant that the information was 'old' as soon as we got it. The first transaction of each new day in each of our stores made the overnight information literally a day old. We looked into JDS's "Better than Real Time" communications and we found out that the information we needed real time was available instantly. We got sales information in the middle of the day, giving us time to react. Our on hands were updated in real time so the stores knew who had what at that moment in time, as opposed to last night. Gift card and Store Credit balances were up to date all of the time! In short, we really got a better look at what was going on in each of our stores throughout the day and our customers got better real time service. We also got an on demand report called the Daily Dashboard. The Dashboard is like an "on demand" flash sales report. At any point in time we know exactly how we are doing."
