Keeping tabs on company productivity and efficiency isn't just good business for the big guys. When every dollar counts, smaller companies can benefit from a system that tracks productivity and sales numbers too.
That's why Cincinnati entrepreneur Ben Moore created xRP, an online productivity tool for small- and medium-sized manufactures that quickly tracks a host of important numbers aimed at cutting the fat, managing resources and boosting sales.
Ben Moore, president of
Agent Technologies, launched xRP in 2007 in West Chester as a tool to help save Ohio manufacturing jobs.
"The basic purpose of xRP is to help companies become more productive and profitable. Companies typically have to invest tens of thousands of dollars and months of time and effort with software before they start getting any benefit. My goal was to build software that worked over the Internet through an Internet browser that these companies could subscribe to and begin getting benefit from immediately," says Moore, an electrical engineer, and a former Procter & Gamble and U.S. Department of Defense contactor.
xRP can be integrated with popular financial management systems including QuickBooks. The system includes sales contact management, task management, knowledge management an Inventory, Production or eCommerce management among other systems.
"xRP is about saving and creating jobs in manufacturing. Manufacturing has slid to about 12 percent of Gross Domestic Product in the U.S., and manufacturing has traditionally been one of the biggest creators of a Middle Class in any country," Moore said.
