DM2 SOFTWARE LAUNCHES PROFITLINK® PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FOR PETROLEUM DISTRIBUTORS

VANCOUVER WA, July 22, 2003: DM2 Software has launched ProfitLink® Performance Analyzer software that allows petroleum distributors to quickly analyze sales, operational and other critical areas of the company’s business. ProfitLink’s easy-to-use “drill-down” capability analyzes pricing, costing, profit margins on individual invoices and customers, salesperson performance and other areas. Company owners and managers use that information to help them make timely, accurate decisions that affect the company’s profitability.

ProfitLink enables a broad range of company personnel (owners, managers and other designees) to obtain that data via four levels of drill-down capability, by incorporating Microsoft® Excel’s easy-to-use pivot table utility. Users can analyze information in ProfitLink through multiple “viewpoints” (by division/warehouse, customer, product/product line, gross margin) and can activate the software by simply providing a date.

ProfitLink runs on Microsoft’s Windows 95, Windows 98 and ME operating systems. Users add it to their MAS 90 or MAS 200 accounting software from BEST Software of Irvine CA.

“ProfitLink’s ability to pinpoint essential data—easily and quickly—is tailored for petroleum distributors, whose slim profit margins require timely, accurate decision making,” said Carl Dalton, DM2’s vice president of sales. “We designed ProfitLink using detailed input from many of our customers.”
