Customer Success Story – John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (JBSS)

JBSS values Cyberquery’s ease-of-use and the customer service at Cyberscience

by Rob Little

Bob Templeton of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. spoke with me about implementing Cyberquery and the benefits.

“Cyberquery has empowered our ERP user community to access
information easily while enabling IT to provide more value-added services.”

Manufacturing organizations are under increasing pressure to provide users with easy-to-use analytical reporting tools. Faced with this challenge, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc, headquarted in Elgin, IL, selected Cyberquery as their corporate business intelligence and report writing solution.

Bob Templeton, Senior Programmer/Analyst at JBSS stated, “The reports that come with the ERP application do not satisfy everyone’s individual needs. Users required more analytical reporting, and every request required costly programming intervention. This created a large backlog of requests and pulled resources away from other, sometimes more critical projects.”

Templeton went on to say, “Our return on our Cyberquery investment has been significant. The savings are substantial because users are now creating their own reports and data exports, freeing up IT resources to focus on more critical issues. Cyberquery has conservatively saved one third of my time, if not more, by eliminating 15-20 hours of analysis and programming per week.”

One of the many successful uses of Cyberquery at JBSS is creating charts and graphs that analyze production efficiency. These graphs are designed to measure machine, department and shift efficiencies and are posted on the shop floor weekly.

“With the use of Cyberquery data visualization functionality we are able to better analyze and present our data.”

“We make business decisions faster due to the availability of timely, accurate and accessible information. The efficiency reports we created allow us to quickly identify gaps in production and act on them immediately.”

“One of the biggest selling points of Cyberquery is how easy it is to use” stated Templeton. “With a little logical thinking a user can sit down and pick it up very easily on their own. We have end users across all functional areas of our organization creating their own reports. Some of these areas include Production, Accounting, A/P, A/R, Inventory Management and Customer Service.”

“The level of service Cyberscience provides is excellent” added Templeton. “The product really doesn’t require much support, and upgrades have been a breeze.”

JBSS’s requirements are not unique; many organizations today are facing increasing pressure to supply critical information to those who need it. By using Cyberquery, organizations can have the information they need to gain useful business insight.

Boyd Corporation Leverages Cyberquery – Improves Efficiencies and Business Insights

by Rob Little

Steve Price of Boyd Corp. spoke with me about implementing Cyberquery and the benefits.

“Through our implementation of Cyberquery, we have saved over $500,000 in improved efficiencies over the past three years.”

Best in class manufacturing organizations are under increasing pressure to streamline their processes and cut overhead costs. Faced with these issues, Boyd Corporation, headquartered in Modesto, CA, selected Cyberquery as the corporate business intelligence and report writing solution.

Steve Price, IT Manager at Boyd stated, “Through our implementation of Cyberquery, we have saved over $500,000 in improved efficiencies over the past three years. And that’s being conservative.” Price went on to say, “The exceptional speed and ease of use of Cyberquery have made these savings possible. In addition, Cyberquery has empowered the organization’s leadership to make quality decisions. We are gaining previously unavailable business insight and our executive team is now able to make swift and informed decisions that were just not possible before we implemented Cyberquery.”

In one instance Cyberquery was used to create an accounts receivable (AR) information management solution for their corporate AR department. The return gained by this, after a two-day Cyberscience services engagement, was an annual saving of $90,000.

“Time saving initiatives such as this one has made a major impact on staff job satisfaction and morale.”

Boyd’s IT department has also integrated Cyberquery with the corporation’s ERP and CRM systems. Through Cyberquery’s Webreporting, scheduling and built-in email functionality, all of Boyd’s customer shipment and tracking information is automatically emailed to each customer’s procurement team every day. “The shipment notification solution was created in only 2 hours. As a result of this successful initiative our account relationship management team has saved 4 man hours of telephone communications every single day. A remarkable return” stated Price. “Time saving initiatives such as this one has made a major impact on staff job satisfaction and morale”, Price added.

Another successful use of Cyberquery has been the distribution in real-time of key sales and margin information to the senior management team at Boyd. These matrices are generated on a scheduled basis through the Cyberquery scheduling service, Qdirector. This facilitates fast and effective collaborative decision making.

Boyd Corporation’s requirements are not unique; all manufacturing organizations are under similar constraints and pressures to supply goods at lower costs with associated diminishing margins. By using Cyberquery, organizations can improve efficiencies, cut costs, and gain useful business insight.

Customer Success Story – Tidewell

Cyberquery Delivers Beyond Expectations for Florida’s Largest Home Hospice & Palliative Care Oraganization

by Brad Jackson

Lou Freitas of Tidewell spoke with me about the value of their Cyberquery implementation.

“Cyberquery has already saved Tidewell over $180,000 and we expect to save another $360,000 once all reporting projects are up and functional. This labor savings equates to $540,000!”

In the ever-changing healthcare environment, organizations are pressured to deliver a better quality of care while at the same time minimize costs. Faced with these challenges, Tidewell Hospice, headquartered in Sarasota, FL, evaluated several business intelligence (BI) tools to better understand their data. After considering several products, Tidewell Hospice selected Cyberquery from Cyberscience Corporation as their organization-wide business intelligence and report writing solution.

“Our annual report to the Department of Elder Affairs on patient pain at admission was dramatically improved in both accuracy and time savings.”

One of the first projects completed with Cyberquery improved the pain management measurement of all Tidewell patients. With the existing Electronic Medical Records (EMR) package, patient pain level could only be reported on the first pain assessment of the day. This process used to take multiple hours per month and is now automated. With Cyberquery, Tidewell now reports on pain management in real-time throughout the patient’s care.

After a few months of using Cyberquery, Tidewell decided to utilize Cyberquery to measure patient costs more accurately. Tidewell uses Suncoast Solutions™ EMR and Sage MAS 500 accounting applications and needed data from both systems in order to accomplish this analysis. Tidewell accomplished its patient costing project by developing a system of Cyberquery reports which queries and exports financial and clinical data from both applications. It can now report against its patient costs at any time and schedule reports for distribution to key stakeholders. This additional insight into patient costs helps Tidewell maintain a high quality of care in light of Medicare reimbursement reductions.

Tidewell Hospice continues to explore ways to leverage Enterprise Cyberquery and complete future projects including:

- Clinical and administrative productivity optimization to meet service area demands
- Cost management for medications and supplies
- Charitable community activity validation and management
- Labor savings due to automation
- Key Performance Indicator management

About Tidewell

Tidewell servers more than 1,200 patients a day in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties. Tidewell is one of the largest programs of its kind in the U.S. Home-based palliative care is the basic premise of the program, involving the support of physicians, registered nurses, social service counselors, home health aides and volunteers, all following a prescribed plan of care. Tidewell’s services are available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.

Customer Success Story – PayComplete

Cyberquery saved PayComplete’s ERP implementation

by Steven Oakes

Charlie Sines of PayComplete spoke with me about the value of their Cyberquery implementation.

“Cyberquery saved our M3 ERP implementation by providing the complete reporting capabilities we needed. Access to live data instead of a one-day delay was a bonus.”

Fintech company, PayComplete, realized late into their Infor M3 ERP installation that the out of the box reporting solution they originally selected was not going to meet their business needs. Their team required a reporting solution that was intuitive for users, did not require a complex data warehouse, functioned well with Excel for both importing and exporting data, and could handle complex reports. The team was turning 11 divisions onto M3 on 3 continents with a remote team during Covid. Finding Cyberquery saved the ERP implementation. Within the first 3 days of training on Cyberquery, the team implemented 30 reports and was ready for their ERP go-live.

“The Cyberscience team is a pleasure to work with, and the product is very user friendly. After a couple of sessions our end users were able to create and run their own reports, giving them the independence and enablement we needed.”

The key features of Cyberquery that PayComplete has come to rely on are that it is both fast and easy to use. They rely on Cyberquery for operational reporting in their manufacturing plants. The speed of the software allows them to pull reports in real-time and not have to wait until the next day for results. This is very handy during month-end or year-end close as the company works to make targets such as shipments, receivables, and inventory.

The other main requirement was that the solution had to be easy to use. The team wanted the users to be able to pull their own data and make reports without complex data warehousing or relying on busy IT. Cyberquery is intuitive to use. It also has a predefined data dictionary for M3 allowing for direct access to the data without a data warehouse intermediate step.

In addition, the PayComplete team has complicated VAT reporting requirements that Cyberquery handled with ease. VAT calculations demand accuracy and reporting errors are not an option. The Cyberscience consultants helped with developing and automating the reports, making them accurate and consistent.

Another benefit of choosing Cyberquery is the quality of service. The Cyberscience consultants have deep knowledge of Cyberquery, ERP data structures, and business applications. The consensus from the PayComplete team is that Cyberscience is a pleasure to work with.

About PayComplete

PayComplete is the global leader in physical finance, dedicated to innovating self-service experiences and operations for both consumers and employees. Supporting retail, transportation and financial service customers, they create value by developing customizable software, devices and service solutions that reduce cost, eliminate risk, enhance productivity and improve the user experience.
