At the heart of Phocas’ approach is simplicity ♥ #lovephocas
To have fun this Valentine’s Day, we collated feedback from customers to develop a group love letter. The Phocas team is always available to discuss a data analytics solution with you, this day and every other day.
It was five years ago that I first told you I loved you. Phocas, you changed my life and put my business on a new, exciting path of growth.
Love Phocas. ♥ The software has made our lives so much better.”
Wayne Blackman, Managing Director, Invision Sales.
Our relationship came about when a mutual friend recommended Phocas. He knows the type of relationship I like, no fuss, no drama but never dull. He thought we’d be a good match.
We love it ♥ - fast, easy to use, comprehensive options, productive and great to present, teach and learn about our business.”
Ian Edridge, Purchasing and Distribution Manager, Mcleod Accessories Pty Ltd.
I was nervous about our first meeting. Would we connect? Would Phocas ask me questions? Or just make assumptions about what I need. It wasn’t one of those, ‘have I got something for you scenarios.’ Phocas listened. Phocas spoke my language and wanted to help me address my daily work challenges.
Phocas has changed my perception of computer software salespeople. For once they kept all of their promises. Phocas really has demonstrably helped us to increase sales. Before we had Phocas we had reams and reams of reports. We love it! ♥”
Larry Fleming, General Manager, LSSD Security Systems
Remember the first dashboard we created together Phocas? I do. Now I want to spend much of my day with you, you enrich my decision-making. I’m more confident with you by my side, Phocas.
Almost the first thing I do every day is to open Phocas. The impact of Phocas is remarkable. It has enabled us to look at our business from different perspectives, and to become much more accurate in using our data to make good business decisions, rather than acting on ‘gut feel’.”
Fiona Irving, Marketing Director, Waterford Wedgewood Royal Doulton Australia Pty Ltd
Phocas and I have decided to share our joy with others in our team. We love seeing other people succeed and get more time to pursue new opportunities because they are well supported with accurate information.
I love the power and simplicity of the program. Can't wait to learn more and take full advantage of this very powerful tool.”
John, Purchasing Manager, Loeb Electric Supply
Love it! ♥, I just love using Phocas. The possibilities of reports are endless.”
Susan Greenway, IT Manager, American Pipe & Supply Co. Inc.
Good relationships take effort and care. Phocas and I have stayed together and become closer and more committed to each other over time. This is because we are open with one another about issues and problems, we are committed to ongoing development and are in it for the long haul.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

A recent Phocas survey found that half of the distribution respondents are testing general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude on their own, outside of any business system. That's a reasonable thing to do but it is also where generic AI gets the numbers wrong for distributors in ways that are hard to know, because the answer looks exactly like a right one. It is important to know why a powerful generic AI tool can still be a wrong one and some of the important considerations of handing over your data to an AI engine.

A CFO of a wholesaler recently described dead stock as piles of cash in the corner of a warehouse that she can’t access. And, in many ways, she’s not wrong. Dead stock is unsold products in storage or returned from retailers. It reduces the cash flow you need to buy revenue-generating stock and takes up valuable warehouse space that profitable products could use. Dead stock inventory also increases carrying costs, tying up resources in excess inventory that no longer matches customer demand.
