East Syracuse, NY — May 5, 2010 — Today, DUMAC Business Systems, Inc.  announced immediate availability of SBOnet® version 4.0 to existing and new customers using SBOnet® in order to control food and labor costs for their restaurants.  The latest version provides a variety of enhancements including a new navigator that can be personalized by each user.  This feature allows users to select the reports or functions they use most to be saved to their “Favorites” tab for easier access.  This saves time and directs the user to the information they use most.  Other features officially released in 4.0 include:

Restaurant Log – eliminates the need for paper logs between managers and includes a district manager view of the notes managers leave each other

Multiple mid-day counts – allows managers and district managers to narrow down when inventory shrink occurs.

“Version 4.0 takes SBOnet® to a new level.  As they have throughout the life of SBOnet®, DUMAC continues to listen to their customers and incorporate the features that their customers can get the highest return on investment on,” said Rochelle Wolfe, VP-Food Service and Development with WilcoHess. “We rely on SBOnet® for so many tracking functions that depending on what role you play in the company, different reports may have more importance.  With 4.0, each user gets to easily access the reports they use without having to navigate to it.”

SBOnet Continues to Grow

With 400 locations utilizing SBOnet® in order to control their food and labor costs, the latest features provide customers with everything they need to measure, monitor and manage key factors including theoretical vs actual inventory and 4 week trends in sales and labor.  The “drill-down” interface provides users to see aggregate data and then keep linking deeper and deeper into the data until the problem becomes obvious.  “We continue to learn from our customers what features they need to run their business and we quickly provide information necessary for them to operate more profitably” said Howard McCarthy, CEO of DUMAC.  “We have always taken the time to listen to our customers because they know better than anyone what data they need in order to make decisions throughout the day; not the next week or even the next day, when it could be too late to react.”
