"Because of the custom programs and working procedures created by Doug, today we are able to track margins, inventory and costs with a minimum of staff, and with much higher accuracy."
- Kristine Schüssler
CFO Onninen AS
“Our company’s accrual account had been carrying a [credit] balance of 100 MNOK [Million Norwegian Kroners]. Everyone knew the balance shouldn’t have been so high. But no one knew how to attack the problem—or even what the problem was. Our margins were so low we had begun to question whether we should continue doing this kind of business. Doug had a good feeling for what might be wrong. He set up an entire reporting structure—from the margin to the cost reporting—that made it possible for me to later figure out what was going wrong. With Doug’s help, we managed to get the reporting under control. This resulted in a final write-down of the accrual balance, and we ended up increasing our net-result that year from 70 to 100 MNOK. He helped us avoid the wrong decision of dismantling that part of the business.”
