BI Panel - A Distributor's Perspective with SawStop

David, VP at SawStop, explains how the power tool company moved from QuickBooks to Sage ERP to DataSelf analytics. They eliminated a $15,000 annual sales-tax service, expanded dashboard access from 3 users to 15, and built custom tracking for serial numbers, warranties, and dealer performance.

So as I said, during our startup phase we relied on QuickBooks software for our accounting needs. But within a year or two of actually beginning to sell product, we realized that, that it was no longer going to meet our needs. And we looked around and decided to go with a Sage ERP package because it was very scalable and we thought had a lot of ability to report out data so that we could get off keeping separate track in Excel files just to know what was going on. But soon after having the Sage ERP system installed and up and running, we discovered that the built in reporting was crystal reports which was difficult for us to use the required specialized training to build reports. And we were forced to spend a lot of money having specialists build the reports for us. And we asked our stage reseller what the options were and they said, well, there was a company called Dataself that offered a nice reporting package. And so we scheduled a webinar or a demonstration through the web with Johnny and his folks. And we're really excited about the way the system worked and how easy it was to build reports and see your data. And we didn't take this long at all to know that's what we wanted to do. And so within a few months of installing Sage ERP to get up and running, we began with data self installation and have been using it ever since.
Yeah, very interesting. And I remember that looking at our notes as well. Most of the companies, when they come to us, they're usually much larger. Usually the, the clients, when they come to us, they are above $20 million in sales and usually they have already years of using the ERP package, they have put a lot of money into reporting. Then they realize, well, we're putting so much money into reporting, we're not getting the information easily. Let's find something else better. And looks like you guys right off the bat once you moved out of QuickBooks, I think your company was still fairly small at that point, but looks like your management is very data hungry. And hey, you know, there's a cost but there's a benefit. Probably it's worth it.
That's right. We wanted to be able to report a lot of different things from not only our sales and ar, but we also wanted to be able to track our warranty service inventory and we wanted to be able to look at different things sort of on the fly. And the Chris Shaports made that very difficult, if not impossible.
Well, most of the companies that we work with, they're not software engineers, they are building products, selling products, doing services. It is just like a side part of the business. And definitely I'm an electrical engineer. When I started my career, I was.
A programmer for years.
And then eventually I fell in love with the business area. I had my mba and then when I started to do reporting as a business person, I was comfortable. I was a programmer. Hey, I know databases, I know reporting tools, I can do it. But hey, most business people, they're not programmers, they are not. They're business people, they are manufacturers, they are salespeople and it's, it's complicated. So that's actually the vision. When I started the business, I thought that I could actually touch this industry, make it easier, make it better, take the best technology out there and help companies like you guys to focus on your business, not on complicated reporting things.
I think that's exactly right. I know nothing about databases and don't want to know. Certainly I could probably learn it, but the best value for me, my time for the company is to work on our products and not work on our servers and trying to get out data and learn a new field.
Yeah, just to make sure people understand here Sarstop, and correct me if I'm wrong, Sourstop was founded by three people. One of them, you are currently the vice president. So your role as a senior manager is to run the engineering side of your company and operations. And you are, in my understanding, one of the most reporting savvy among the crowd over there. I mean, you not being an IT person in the kind of reports and dashboards you've been building, later you're going to be showing some of them. I think it's really impressive to tell that as you said, can you do it? Could you go to the databases, learn math? Absolutely. You're a smart guy, look at the business you guys have built. But do you want to do that? You have much more valuable things. So I think it's impressive to see a person like you, an attorney that now is taking reporting data analysis on your own and helping the company move forward. So let me go to the next topic here. So when you acquired our solution, back then we were using what is called OLAP technology, Microsoft based technology. And for about five years you were using that product that was using Proclarity as one of the pieces, which was the beginning of the whole analytics, how valuable that proves to be over. I know that in the last seven years your company has grown a lot. Can you give a little perspective of how that kind of technology helped you and your team take your decision making to the next level?
Sure. Well, originally using proclarity, we were very pleased with that package. It was very easy for me to write reports, either to save them for, you know, to be updated every day or when I wanted to learn something else, something new that I had a question that I hadn't thought of. I could go in and within a few minutes have a report showing the data. So whether I wanted to see if we were having a particular service and warranty problem, if I wanted to see how sales were in a particular region or what products were selling more or less or to what customers, it was very, very easy to use. But there were only a few of us who were using it at the time. Everyone who wanted to use it had to have a proclarity full license. And all of the salespeople didn't, you know, they were busy making sales and visiting our dealers. And so we didn't get the full impact except through me. I was sort of the conduit for information for everyone. And I really enjoyed the software. I'm somebody who enjoys doing the reporting software. It's a lot of fun. I sometimes find myself spending too much time playing around because it's just very interesting. But at the time, all the data and reporting came through me and often it relied on me to say, well, what can you show us? And I would have to decide what seemed important to report out and show them, rather than having them pull the information from me and tell me what they needed to see. But like I said, we were very happy with it. I used it every day in managing service, overseeing the business, managing inventory, watching our GL accounts. I used it all the time. But there was myself and maybe one other super user who would build reports and then basically make screenshots and send those out to the people who were interested in seeing them.
Cool. Interesting. And this is actually in line with a lot of our experience. And just to clarify to the audience, so from 2005 until 2012, we were leveraging this technology from Microsoft, which uses proclarity, which is what David is calling was one of the components of our solution and most of our clients, it was just like what David said. We had a few users, a little bit more computer savvy users like David, who were not programmers. They didn't want to handle things like crystal, but they could easily go to the tools, slice and dice it, and build reports for other people. And then in his case, I think you had 3, 4 users only at that point. That's correct, yep. And then a few years ago, three years ago, we decided that we had to take this technology to the next level and come up with a new spin to it where we could have a framework that more people would be able to take ownership of, reporting, kind of push the envelope and enable more people besides the more power users. David actually was one of the first companies who embraced this new technology. And because when you're starting, you're learning, so it's a little bump your road. So I want to hear from David, how was the experience, the transition? I know you are happy about it, but feel free to also tell what was not so smooth or what the difficult challenges you faced and enlighten us with the transition from the old platform to the new platform.
Well, I was very satisfied with proclarity at the time until I saw the new platform and then I realized that proclarity had sort of not evolved and I didn't have exposure to other solutions. But when I saw the new platform, I was amazed by the additional functionality that was available and the web portion that would allow me to make the data accessible to so many more people in the, in the organization in a way that they could see it both in house and remotely and also to be able to give them the power to drill down on data and see specific information that they were interested in. So once we switched over to the new platform, I realized maybe what we were missing before because the new platform is just fantastic. It gives me so much more power to look at different things and make customized reports. And we're really happy with it.
Your company came from a 3, 4 user license with the old, and now you have a lot more. So how has been this giving more people their own reports? How?
That's one of the biggest reasons that we decided to make the switch. Because we went from three or four people looking at the reports for clarity to 15 people looking at the reports now. And not only the people in house, but we have our outside salespeople who are positioned throughout the country. They access it every day to see the data and the performance in their region. The web server that we have is just fantastic. It's very easy, very quick to use. We can publish our reports that we generate here to the web and they can access it from their laptop at home or on the road through the laptop or through mobile devices. And they used to every day update a very large multi tab Excel spreadsheet with new sales figures for every day and then port that out to all the salespeople. And obviously that was time consuming. We don't do that Anymore. The data automatically updates every night so that every morning they can log in and see the see what happened the day before. Both as a snapshot on the day, but also cumulative over time. So everyone has moved over. I've made the data available to the rest of our executives here as well as people in the administrative staff. So we have people who do ap, they can do agent reports and quickly see who they need to give a call to that day to see if the check's in the mail. We have a service manager who can take a look and see what kind of service level activity we have and which of his technicians are on the ball.
Okay, interesting. And you mentioned the other day, which I found also a fairly, I mean, kind of frequent story among our clients before, for the new platform, you are like kind of an expensive secretary in a way. People will be asking you because you knew how to build reports for new insights. And now the upper management, my understanding is they already have access directly, so you're no longer being on call for them for new things.
That's right. I share office with my partners and they would often ask me, how are sales this month? Or how much money do we have in the bank? Or what's going on? And I would have to pull up a report and tell them because they didn't have access to it at the time. And now I've created some executive dashboards for them to see an overview of the company, our revenues, our assets, our sales, on a year to date, month to date, they can see whatever they want and they just pull up their browser and go right to it. And it's fantastic to have them be able to access that information directly, drill down, see the information they're looking for, and maybe see some information they hadn't thought of as they drill down. So it's great to enable them and let me get on with my work instead of having to answer their questions. Cool.
Yeah, that is very cool. We also have some other clients that in the same sense, often the upper management, they're not very computer. I mean, they're too busy to be dealing with computers. Right. So most of them, most of the upper management, they need to have access to simple but insightful dashboards. So let's say this guy, he's a CEO, he wakes up in the morning, he checks his iPad or his smartphone and you see big boxes, yellow, red and green colors. If it's green, green, he can go play golf if he has time to. But if there's no red or yellow, then he has to call Someone to see what's going on.
That's right. They're smart people, but they have other things that they're doing in the company and interest. So having them everyone learn how to do reports and also learning our data set, that's unnecessary because I can build the dashboards, provide the data to them in an easy to see format and they can in just a minute or two every day see where we are.
One thing that I think is also usually a pretty common topic, I want to hear your thoughts that when people come to us, it's just change of behavior. People are used to deal with something. Let's say some people love Excel and they want to excel. Doesn't matter what you want to do, they want to excel. What we have seen consistently with companies is there's usually a few, a small number of people who are the champions like yourself, hey, you have the vision, you know that you need better information. You have the analytics or analyst mindset and you need it and you get it and you push it forward. But then when you try to give other people this kind of information, it's a process. People are not going to change. And as you said, they were using Excel, now they're using the web interface. But I bet you, and I want to hear from you is that you've been working with the new interface for about two years. Probably at the beginning, mostly probably just yourself and someone else. And then you expose people to that framework that they start to adopt. How many besides you have been able to take that tool and not only to be a consumer, just see like a static report and being able to slice and dice it or drill down. Have you been enabled to do that with many people? Only a few. How has been the progress in that front? Changing behavior? I would say sure.
Well, I think we have different levels of users. We have some who will browse to the server and just look at the reports that are presented and don't have a need or ability to look deeper. Then we have some others, many in the sales department who want to see the reports and then focus in on their regions and their responsibilities and so they can build customized reports, taking the reports we provide and then saving their special views, their favorite views. We have a number of those people, probably the entire sales group uses the system in that way. And then we have another super user in the sales group and she is in the process of learning and practicing building her own reports. Now she's just a high school graduate, but she a smart person and she has a real passion for this Type of thing. In fact, she told me yesterday she was up till 1 o' clock at night checking her reports for the next day. So it's really easy to use and some people just want to see the data and move on and some people want to explore more and it really gives the flexibility to you can use the system and look as deeply as you want to.
Very interesting story about the high school graduate. Probably she was partying and then she got home. Oh, I didn't want to finish my work. Cool. Very interesting. Yeah, I mean that's the idea. It's data analysis. I mean in our experience, more than 70% of the reporting needs of the average user, they can do it if they just put the time to learn the tool, which is not a complicated tool. It's not for everyone. Yes, some people are not going to do it because they do want it. They just have something else to do. But if you want to, you can and it's a process. We have some companies that they bought a bunch of licenses and eventually they have to decommission some because people would just not change their behavior. They are successful, they're selling, they talk left and right, they don't need a computer. But some people, there's a lot of analysis telling that the top five companies by performance, the most successful companies by performance, they are data driven companies. They make decisions based on data, not on gut feeling. Gut feeling is important. Absolutely. It's probably half of the puzzle. But if you have good data, you have an edge, you can do better, you have the top 5%, they are data hungry. So it's good to be in this business. David, tell me a little bit about many of the in the audience they usually have their ERP packages and CRM and other systems highly customized. Every company is different and usually they have invested a ton of money into making the ERP work the way that they need. So it's not out of the box, it has no optional fields and different tables. My understanding is that your company, you have your erp, you have add ons to it, it's highly customized. How has the whole reporting, how easy was it to incorporate this customization? How lengthy, how expensive? Give us some insight about that perspective, please.
Sure. Well, I think we do have a lot of customizations in our ERP system. We seem to customize everything we we do around here. We never do things the way they are out of the box and we have a number of add ons. One of the things we do, maybe uniquely is for our table saws. We Track every table saw by serial number, who it's sold to. We sell through dealers, so we track that saw to each dealer. And then when the dealers sell to the end customers, we track that and we use our ERP system, keeps track of that through a serial number basis in a service and warranty add on to the erp, which is very different than your standard accounting package. And that's one of the things you worked with us to be able to extend the reporting to that data set, which was very different, like I said, than the accounting package. Because we're tracking serial numbers, we're tracking service codes and service technicians warranty issues. So we can report out any kind of warranty problems. If we're seeing a spike in a certain warranty problem or a spike in problems with a certain product, we can see that. And then you guys also work with us to connect the data that we had in our service center, the serial number data and where it was located with the end customers, and then join that with our AR data where we sold the saws to a dealer. We can then connect the dealers to the customer, even though we didn't have that information directly. Now, because we know where the saw ended up, we can match the file location would be D dealer. And then we can track how the dealers are performing in different market segments. So for example, we track the customer type. We have what we call woodworking companies, cabinet shops that build cabinets and other wood products. We have other companies that are like architectural firms who may have a couple of saws. Boeing, a lot of the Hollywood studios have our cabinets off. We have individuals, we have schools, we have government institutions, and we have contractors. And we track all those. And because the data is linked, we can match our dealers up with the market segments. So which dealers are performing well, say to education versus which dealers performing well to individuals. And we can share that data with them and show them how they, how they are performing relative to their competitors, other dealers in the market and maybe where the market opportunity that they're missing that they need to focus on. So we do have a lot of customized data. It seems to change almost on a weekly basis. We change the way we want to keep track of things or we want to add something. And it's very easy to. Like I said, it updates every day. And so we want to change the way products are categorized. The next morning, all data is updated to reflect that new categorization. So it's really nice in a sense.
Well, I think that the story behind what you just said, I'm really impressed because I think your dealers love you because you guys tell them how they are doing and how they should do better. I mean, this is awesome for us, having a client like you guys that you really are a data driven company and you're doing your job really well and you're helping your company grow, you're helping your channel be better channel the whole understanding who is buying from each dealer. I mean, usually most companies, they sell to the dealer and then it's like a black hole. Who's using, it's disconnected. So it's very expensive for them to try to analyze the end user behavior because they have the dealer between them and the end user. So it looks like you guys found some ways to close the circle and take advantage of that from your business. Help the dealers. And what I love about your business is that you're saving fingers at the end of the day. I mean it's a very noble. I mean, who cares about money, right? I mean, at the end of the day you want to save fingers.
It's a neat product and it's something we feel good about.
Cool. I have two quick questions to close this pro section here. One is when it comes to performance, how quickly reports run overall, do you have a report that takes a long time to run? What's the feeling so far?
Sure. Well, it all depends on how you design your report. So a lot of the reports I use for myself, they run virtually instantaneously. The sales and marketing group, because they came recently from a very heavy Excel background, they asked to have their basically Excel workbooks duplicated in the data itself. And that's what I did. But they're basically seeing every customer every month, every product, all at one time. I tell them they're looking at all the trees in the entire forest at one time. And so that can sometimes when they update, when they want to do a change of filter, look at a certain region, they're starting from all of our sales data, 50,000 SAWS and however many thousands of customers and then drilling down. What they should do is they should let me help them redesign their reports as they look at the forest from an overview and then focus in on the area they're interested in. And I think the performance will be much faster. It will mirror my performance. Currently, when they do a filter, it may take 5 to 10 seconds to update just because they're looking at so much data at one time. And you want to filter all that data. It's just we have a fairly new server, but it takes a while to execute that, but when you start from a top level, from a forest perspective and then focus down into a section of the forest and into the trees you want to see, it's virtually instantaneous, as fast as your Internet connection will run.
Yep. I like this analogy of the forest. And it goes back also to change behavior. If you have, as you said, 50,000 saws and thousands of customers, probably a report with all data is going to be like millions of records. It doesn't matter what tool you're using. Millions of records on a computer is going to take some time to broaden. And what you're saying is look at the big picture, then start to slice and dice in a way until you find the tree that you're looking for. That's a pretty smart comparison. I'm going to probably copy you and copyright you. Ok. Ok, David, tell a little bit about the weaknesses or places or things that you'd like to be improved from the analytics solution per se.
Sure. Well, the one key, I don't know that it's a con, but you do need someone who understands their data. So myself and the other super user who's getting started, we understand, you know, our data and because it's so customized and because we change it, we need to stay in the loop to understand any changes and how that might affect our reporting. You do need someone who's going to build the reports, the dashboards, to have a knowledge of their data. And the only other thing I can think of is that if you like this kind of software and functionality like I do, you it can kind of draw you in and you end up spending a day playing around just looking for things rather than doing your real work. Going forward, we'd love to have direct access to more data. We actually tabulate for our figure stage. We keep track of people, our customers who have have finger safes in our saw and we keep track of all that data in a humongous Excel spreadsheet. We're in the process of importing that in to the data warehouse so that we can report it out and make that available and maybe one day we'll make that information available publicly on our website.
Sorry about that. Interesting. Okay. So yeah, I mean, one of the things is it is going to take time if you want to do a better analysis of your business. It's not a magic wand. You're not going to press a button and voila, you got all that you want. As you said, you have to understand your business. You have to understand what metrics in your business are important. And sometimes, you know, sometimes you don't. Sometimes as you start to view things, you realize that there are other areas that you were not paying attention and they could be as critical as whatever you're paying attention to. We usually tell that once you embrace a technology like this, it's like a journey. It's not a journey. I mean, it's going to take many steps to walk through the journey, but it's much faster. It's going to expose you things that today you just don't understand, like data quality. I'm not sure if you guys have data quality issues, but sometimes when you look at your data using analytics, you're going to find that there are many places of your data. The data is bad, it's just bad. You cannot make a decision based on that data because it's not being populated. So are you going to just say, whatever, let's do something else? No. If you want to have bad information, you're going to change your processes, change your erp, change how you do business to populate your database with information so your managers can make better decisions. So it is not magic, it takes effort. But again, if you want to be on the top 5% of the, the best performers and you are data hungry at your experience, it looks like it's a worthy journey.
It sure is. It sure is. And we definitely have that experience. The reporting data reporting does expose any errors in your data entry, but it gives you a chance to go back, see that easily and go back and clean it up. Because you can drill down into, into the individual records that have either omissions or bad data. So it makes it very easy to find that missing or bad data and then go back in and correct it.
So how about some roi? Can you have some tangible roi?
Sure. So have a couple of examples. Probably. Last year we had used a third party company solution to collect our sales tax information. Because we sell all over the country, we do have to collect sales tax and then report that to every state in the country. And that's a big job to be able to report that out. We had used a third party solution that was expensive and getting more expensive every year. And it was a big drain on computer resources because our system would have to touch their servers for every transaction. And with a little help from your programmers, we were able to expose the sales tax data that we have in our invoices, pull that out and do our own sales tax reporting that we then we can just send to the state. And so we drop that service. And that was last year with $15,000 that we were able to service, that we were able to drop. So that was a big setting. Then of course, without the reporting we would this solution, we would be left with the crisp reports, which wasn't something that even I could use without going through a lot of training to learn how to do. And so we would have been forced to hire our reseller, our ERP reseller to build those CRISPR reports. And of course, at $100, $200 an hour, that can be very expensive. And so what you end up doing is you spend 10 or $20,000 getting the most critical reports. And then there are other reports you just forego because they're too expensive. And so you just don't get to see that data. And whenever your data changes or you want to make a change, then you have to pay to go back and have them make any corrections to those reports to reflect the new data. So that's a lot of not only saves money, but it's also a lot of additional information and reporting that we could never have done just because it would have been too expensive. And then again, as we talked about before, being able to empower our sales managers, the regional sales managers, to look at the data, show it to the dealers that they work with, show them their performance relative to other dealers, what market segments they're hitting, they're doing well with, and which ones they're maybe missing. That helps us obviously focus our sales efforts on, on missed opportunities to increase our sales.
Cool. So let's just kind of recap. So you mentioned about $15,000 per year in savings for the tax initiatives. And then you mentioned that if you were using crystal reports, probably you'd be spending 10,000 to $20,000 per year in custom reporting needs, which would be like probably only the most critical ones. And all the other additional reporting you would just not use because it would be too expensive. And usually it's kind of hard to put probably a cost saving tag because you don't know how much you'll be paying because you're not doing that. But I understand the other part that you mentioned, which is also sometimes hard to put a figure on. It is you now your management has information pretty much when they need, wherever they are and they're making better decisions, hopefully. I mean, more informed decisions. Hopefully better decisions. Right. You never know if it's better decision, but it's more informed decision. So hopefully, I think because your company is data driven, probably part of your growth, your success being so good is because you are data Driven. You use data to make decisions and you're growing faster. Maybe there is hard to tell exactly how much that is because you have the analytics platform, but it's interesting to hear that. David, I want to be sure that we give you a little bit of time to show some of the dashboards you put together. Let me change the screen here to you. And these are some of the dashboards that David built himself. So let's take a tour with Historari.
So this first screen. Can you see this first screen now?
Yes.
This is sort of an interesting screen. It's probably not your normal data to report out, but as I mentioned, we keep track of people who've had accidents on our saws, and we call them singer saves because they typically get a band aid or less. And we keep track of those on a monthly basis. And you can see here over the last year, these are the fingerstays that we've had reported to us. And you can see it's 30 to 40 per month. So that's sort of a tangible evidence of the impact we're making in the marketplace and saving people from some pretty devastating injuries. So this is a fun graph, maybe not necessarily our accounting software, but it is data we collect in our ERP system and then we report out as well.
Before you move. One of the things I love so much about your business is, again, ultimately, you guys are in the business of saving fingers, and you're tracking it. You're tracking something that is two levels beyond. You don't have direct access to your clients. But I think because this is such a major life event for someone who they went through a process where they would lose a finger or maybe a whole hand or whatever in the tool did the job. And probably these people are so thankful that they probably called you guys back or. I mean, how do you get this information? I mean, how can you collect it?
Sure. So when our table saw, when the safety system detects a contact with the blade in an accident, there's what we call a brake cartridge in the saw that activates. It's kind of like an airbag, of course, and it's below the tabletop and it activates and it stores the data and it needs to be replaced before the saw is used again. And so we tell people that if you have a finger safe, let us know, send us the brake cartridge. We can read the data off there to see what some conditions around the accident, and we'll send you another one for free. And that encourages people to. To send those in so that's how we hear about it. And of course we asked them to follow up, to tell us what they were doing at the time of the accident, all the different conditions. And we tabulate that currently in a large Excel spreadsheet. We're working right now to bring that into this reporting so that it's more accessible and so we can then report out and contract. What are people doing in most instances that cause these accidents? What are they cutting? What type of blade were they using? Were they wearing gloves? It's all very valuable data for us to understand how accidents happen and hope to improve our products to minimize the severity of the injuries. Cool.
Very nice story. Yeah, thanks.
And so one other one I have on this screen is our dashboard for our warranty service. At the bottom you can see our service orders on a monthly basis. Lets us see as we get more and more product in the field, like I said, Over 50,000. We can see people calling in what kind of activity level we have on a sort of a global basis. They may be missing a part, they may have a question about how to use their saw or there may be a warranty issue that they want to resolve. This lets us track our level of activity and so we can manage our service group and whether we have the sufficient number of personnel. And the window above actually shows some of our service technicians and lets them see on a daily basis how many of these cases they're handling so that we can. Everybody can feel like they're doing their fair share and we can see make sure that everyone is. Is working just as hard as the other as the person next to them. So this here two reports are coming out of our service and warranty, our product tracking data that sort of separate from or different from your normal accounting sales and APAR data. And that if I can figure out how to switch my screens here, there's another one I'll show. This is. Let me go to. This is a dashboard that I provided for our executives. It's a quick overview of what's happening in the business. At the top you can see our daily sales and they can go down and select on the fly a different day and see what happens for each day if they want to. On the top right there's a graph of our monthly assets showing our cash or ar, ap, that kind of thing. Then at the bottom left there's a quarterly soft sales figure showing our sales by quarter and by table saw model. So this is the first thing they see. Typically they'll browse to the server and see this and Get a quick overview of what's going on in the business. Moving on, I've got a nice report here. They can see year to date sales for all the products, our table saws and accessories. They can see the year to date by year and the year over year change. And one neat thing is that it's very easy to color code the data so that you can see the green data indicates sales that are improved over the prior period and the red data shows sales that have decreased over the prior period. So it allows us to see issues with our reporting now because we change our data from time to time. The way we track things, you sometimes get some red that really isn't red because we combine things. But it's a nice, quick, easy dashboard to just see how we're doing on a year to date compared to the same day, same portion of the year for each prior year.
Sorry to interrupt you, but we're running on 10 o' clock here. We'll have to wrap, but I think you showed some very cool I've seen you've been busy. You really enjoy this stuff and very, very insightful dashboards. Let me take the control back and we'll have to wrap it up because we're a little short on time. So let me get. So David, first of all, I really appreciate your time and sharing with us all of these stories. I mean I find your company from the beginning very interesting.
