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!

If you work as a sales leader in distribution, a deal is usually counted by finance when the invoice goes out or the payment is received. Yet, if you use a generic CRM system, the sales win is often recorded as soon as the rep gets off the call with the new order. The CRM shows the original deal value. The ERP holds the details of what actually happened. For a distribution sales leader, that gap makes it harder to judge performance. You can see what the team has won, but you still need another report to find out what was invoiced, what remains outstanding and how much margin the sale generated.

Phocas is launching Tomorrow's Distributor, a new interactive learning series designed to help sales and finance professionals tackle everyday business challenges, make better use of their data and prepare for the future of distribution. We know the distribution industry is constantly changing. This year consolidation has proliferated, especially in America, where merger and acquisition transactions are up 7.7% year over year according to AXIA data. These new, larger companies create complex working environments that require systems that can ingest data from many systems into one platform for multi-entity reporting and consolidation. At the same time, 49% of distributors are using AI for sales but with limited impact according to our new State of Sales in Distribution Report. As Phocas works with distributors every day, we decided to respond to these changes by offering a free program to address some of these data and tech challenges featuring Phocas experts and customers.
