Solution pays for itself many times over
San Francisco, Calif. - August 28, 2006 - Maxager Technology, the original provider of velocity-driven enterprise profit optimization solutions, today announced that NS Group (nsgrouponline.com) has optimized its return on assets (ROA)- the key driver of shareholder value - with Maxager.
"Maxager has been a critical decision making tool for our business and has already paid for itself many times over," said René Robichaud, CEO of NS Group. "Maxager is an excellent solution to help translate what shareholders want - optimized ROA - into operational terms. Any manufacturer that cares about profits should consider Maxager."
According to Robichaud, beyond the tangible return realized from the solution, Maxager's profit-per-minute approach has enabled NS Group to get their sales, marketing, finance and production teams on the same page. Before Maxager, sales measured success with margin; production with units-per-minute and cost; and finance with return on assets (ROA). Now, with Maxager, NS Group is using the profit-per-minute approach - the operational equivalent to ROA - as the common metric of success.
