AccountingWEB’s reprint PR service about Exchequer’s latest attention grabber made me laugh:
The new Stock Forecasting module for Exchequer is excellent news for those concerned with business environmental impact as it optimises efficiency with its powerful and proven planning engine. IRIS Stock Forecasting predicts sales and usage of stock to help ensure that companies don’t hold more stock than they need. It plans purchasing to ensure that stock levels fall within the desired optimum range and it anticipates what demand will be in each period with information taken from the sales history. The result is a reduction in the number of unnecessary journeys and a reduction in transport and vehicle usage helping to create a ‘greener’ environment.
Wrong – the way you do green accounting is by having less accounting with kit and software that consumes less cycles. What this module does is provide planning data. That’s not the same as actually putting a plan into action and is only tenuously linked to accounting.
