Dual Analysis



              Analyze performance by shipment date
              and commission received date

              Unfortunately, many sales agencies no longer receive copies of
              invoices. The first time an agency knows about a sale is upon
              receipt of the commission statement or check. These agencies
              typically enter date into the software from commission statements.

              The dilemma?  When should an agency account for the sale: when
              it actually occurred (based on the invoice date), or when the               "I love this
              agency entered the transaction?  Most systems account for the             program! I can
              sale at the time when the agency receives the check and                 track sales by the
              processes it into the system (the process month). For example, if        actual shipment
              a check is received in March, the agency processes it in March –         month and track
              even though the sale occurred in January. This means sales             commissions based
              histories are skewed and never reflect actual sales that happened          on the month
              during any given period.                                                    checks were
                                                                                           received.”
              Flexible data analysis to meet your needs

              With dynaMACS Standard System       , you have the ability to           J.C. Bernard & Associates
              analyze performance based on either the month when the sale
              occurred (also known as post month or sale month), or in the
              month when the agency processes the transaction (the process
              month).

              The optional Dual Analysis   feature enables an agency to keep

              historical records based on both the month of sale and the month
              of processing. Normal processing doesn’t change, there are no
              extra steps for your data entry operator, but you have an
              additional set of historical data – invaluable for analysis purposes.

               “Process Month”
              based on entry date


                                                            “Post Month”
                                                           (or Sale Month)
                                                             based on

              During data entry, the operator sees both the “post month” (based
              on the invoice date) and the process month (when the agency
              records the sale).
