Beach Access Leasing Option Appeal to Small Manufacturers

E-Z-MRP, the leading manufacturing software system for small manufacturers, announced a new pricing and product structure. According to , founder of Beach Access Software, makers of E-Z-MRP, "We see a distinction between those small manufacturers with less than five hundred parts in material resource planning, and those with a need for virtually unlimited part numbers."Companies like Hi-Rel Corporation have utilized this delineation recently by leasing the E-Z MRP system for manufacturers with more than 500 parts. According to Jerry Stouffer, "It made sense given our cash flow and I would recommend E-Z-MRP to other small manufacturers because the support is excellent and the product is easy to work with." Stouffer did suggest that manufacturers looking for a customer relations management module should look at something else. However he was impressed with, "?How fast it (E-Z-MRP) calculates our requirements. I have 800 items in the database and it only takes 20 seconds."Small manufacturers with more than about a hundred parts can no longer manage the manufacturing process manually or on an Excel spreadsheet.

Since more than 84% of all manufacturers have less than fifty employees, there is a remarkable opportunity for cost-effective manufacturing systems like E-Z-MRP. Despite the extensive media coverage regarding ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), in most cases these small manufacturers do not require all the functionality offered, nor can many afford the price point. Somewhere between Excel and ERP is the core process for most manufacturers. By offering the two versions of E-Z-MRP, no small manufacturer will be required to purchase more software than actually needed, while still having the ability to grow into the E-Z-MRP Unlimited version.Smolin noted that some manufacturers will start with the under 500 parts version of E-Z-MRP, priced at $2995, and grow into the new unlimited version, priced at $9800. Beach Access Software credits the $2995 for customers who later choose to upgrade.

Other small manufacturers who presently have more than five hundred parts will start right away with the E-Z-MRP Unlimited version.To accommodate the new pricing structure E-Z-MRP offers a Leasing program that ensure a rapid Return-on-Investment. ? Lease E-Z-MRP with two full years of support for just $169.96 per month. ? Lease E-Z-MRP Unlimited with two full years of support for just $495.00 per month.

Preplanning Your Funeral Saves Loved Ones Stress And Money

"Planning our own funeral is a task few of us wish to tackle. Yet funerals can be a major expense for many families, and advance planning can save your estate money and your loved ones a lot of emotional stress.

Here are a few tips for preplanning a funeral so that you have the funeral that you (or the terminal person you are planning it for) desire at the best price.

The average cost for a funeral, according to the National Funeral Directors Association, is $6,500. But that doesn't include such things as the cemetery plot, the grave marker, and some miscellaneous expenses such as flowers. Choosing expensive options can easily push the cost of a funeral over $10,000.

The surviving loved ones must make these decisions very quickly after death, at a time they are grieving.

It's common for them to "prove their love" by buying an expensive casket and service, even though they may end up spending far more than the deceased would have chosen....

Twelve Deadly Mistakes Real Estate Investors Make

Twelve Deadly Mistakes
Real Estate Investors Make
and How You Can and Must Avoid Making Them

Mistake # 1. Spending thousands of dollars buying books, tapes and attending seminars and then putting all of that information on a bookshelf and never looking at (or using) it.
Comment: I'm continually amazed at the number of "would be" investors who have spent a bundle of money attending seminars, getting an education and then never using it to start
their investment program. Not only is it a waste of thousand of dollars but it could be the biggest financial mistake you can make.

Mistake # 2. Failure to learn the basics of real estate investing.


Comment: The other extreme to Number 1 above, are potential investors who realize real estate is the best way to accumulate wealth and venture into the purchase of properties without knowing the basics of real estate investing. Those investors are almost certain to get into...

Shopping Addiction leads to a Financial Whirlpool.

Shopping is something most people love. But often the thrill, excitement, and absorption becomes such that an ordinary hobby or time filler becomes an addiction. A shopping addiction like drugs, alcohol, or gambling is a blinding thirst where the shopper is unable to see essential from non essential and over spend. They shop until they drop and run into debt spending on their credit cards up to and over its limit.

Shopping for many is escapism from the realities of life and its accompanying problems.

It is but a temporary reprieve from depression, anxiety, or loneliness. What a shopper never understands is it is a false world which will not grant happiness or love, or self esteem. After the shopping binge the person will experience remorse. The unhappiness will intensify due to unmanageable financial disaster and debt. This will be further compounded by the displeasure earned from family members or financial consultants.

Believe me over 80% of the purchases...
