Los Alamitos, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2006 -- Gordon Biersch announced today an agreement with Altametrics to deploy their System Manager, Financial Management Series, Inventory Management Series, Workforce Management Series, and Integration Series.

These solutions will provide Gordon Biersch with real time visibility to their current costs, more accurate forecasts of their future costs, and the ability to improve sales. Gordon Biersch will gain real time visibility to their current costs via improved cash, sales, and inventory management and reporting, as well as through Altametrics web-enabled HR solutions, which include Timekeeping and Labor Scheduling functions. More accurate forecasts will be generated for Gordon Biersch by the e*Restaurant forecasting engine. This is the most advanced, most accurate forecasting engine available in the industry. The e*Restaurant forecasting engine reports, with unmatched accuracy, what future store sales will be, and what amounts of inventory need to be ordered to ideally meet the forecasted demand. In addition, the e*Restaurant line of solutions will enable Gordon Biersch to automate procurement from their distributors. Sales improvement for Gordon Biersch will be achieved primarily from the optimization of staffing levels. Gordon Biersch will no longer lose sales due to understaffing, as the e*Restaurant Workforce Management Solution will operate in conjunction with the sales forecaster to determine the ideal number, and ideal mix of employees that need to be on hand to meet the forecasted future demand.

“The e*Restaurant solutions from Altametrics put us in a position to pro-actively control, and pro-actively manage our costs,” said Alex Birnbaum, Senior Director of IT. “We will know what our current, real-time costs are, and, with incredible accuracy, will know what our future costs are going to be. This ability, along with all the other solutions offered by Altametrics, makes them the ideal choice to meet our enterprise needs.”

“We are proud to have been selected by a company of Gordon Biersch’s caliber,” said Joe Picard, Vice President of Professional Services for Altametrics. “I am confident that we will continue to provide the high levels of service, and the unmatched degrees of return, that our customers have come to expect.”
