From Data to Action — Before It’s Too Late!

PULS works without changing your ERP.

Reads: takes the data from where it is — your ERP.

Detects opportunity and risk: the gain slipping away, the loss approaching.

Turns it into action: each finding comes with a recommended action.

Analyzing sales and payment records: 18.7%. Using business intelligence: 10.5%.

The data is there. Few read it.

SourceCBRT (Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye) Sector Balance Sheets · 2025 data · NACE G46 wholesale trade · medium size (CBRT class) · median = the middle firm · days = 365 / turnover rate

CBRT: the median net profit margin of a medium-sized wholesaler is 0.8%.

In a quarter of them, collection takes over ~118 days.

In a quarter of them, stock waits over ~135 days.

Margins are thin: no room for noticing late.

04In the field

20 firms I have consulted for · four business models

Sales and distribution6

Production11

Project2

FMCG1

ERPs we have worked with in the field

I designed PULS from my consulting experience at these 20 firms.

Four business models; in all of them the data is in the ERP, and few read it regularly.

Today two firms are PULS pilots.

The pilot metric: value detected and realized within six months.

A detected amount is exposure, not a gain.

05Field observation

Three finance questions at 20 firms

The founder’s observation at 20 firms · consultant’s assessmentQuestions: Corporate Check-up · Finance

How clearly can you see the course of your cash flow over the next 3 months?

  3. We estimate based on the bank balance9/20
  4. We can’t see it6/20

15/20can’t clearly see their cash for the next 3 months

Do you regularly track your expenses as a share of sales?

  1. Yes, monthly and broken down2/20
  2. Yes, but only a few times a year5/20
  3. We find out from our accountant at year-end10/20
  4. We don’t track it3/20

13/20see their expense/sales ratio at year-end at the earliest

Do you know your true profitability by product/service?

  3. We make a rough estimate11/20
  4. We don’t know6/20

13 see their expense/sales ratio at year-end at the earliest.

17 don’t know their true profitability by product.
