Increased Efficiency & Productivity

Mitch Termotto

• "We have used the BMS/Cyrious Software software since 1987. We recently switched to another software system. I couldn't call BMS/Cyrious Software fast enough to switch back to BMS/Cyrious Software and get the new updated software programs. It allows you to track all information thoroughly and accurately. The BMS/Cyrious Software staff is very helpful and responds promptly to our needs. We are glad to be back working with them as part of our team"

Linda Prusiecki

• "Cyrious has helped us become more productive because we haven't had to alter any methods or habits. We've been able to configure Cyrious Control to our needs. Cyrious works with us; we don't work for Control."

Tony Dew

• “The amount of time it took to get a work order done was extremely frustrating. With Cyrious this time has been cut in half”

Kim Dahl

• Before using Cyrious, Mr. Meyers used a combination of QuickBooks and a manual system to run his shop. As he described it, Cyrious was a big jump from a manual system.

He reports that his sales have increased and his estimating time has decreased.

Don Myers

• "The entire package has saved our company a tremendous amount of time. We can bring up estimates, prior orders, create new ones in half the time and we are very consistent in our pricing. The modules are easy to implement and user friendly. I cannot imagine anyone in this business without this program. We feel that this system has saved us ten's of thousands of dollars and has improved our bottom line. Thanks again for the support and a great system!"

George Beitner

• "Cyrious has allowed us to control our business, understand quoting trends, plan for overtime and follow-up on past due accounts. We can now quote estimates and convert them instantly allowing our employees to be much more productive. We can also keep track of new orders, past due accounts, and workflow. No business should be without it." (This customer also reported "since using Cyrious, my sales have increased by over 50%.")

Mitch Termotto

Estimates go to clients with a similar appearance and structure; Work Orders are clear and consistently useful, etc."

Bill Berry

• "The biggest financial impact from Cyrious Control comes from having clearly recorded information. Before, if an employee didn't write down material usage or time spent on a job, it didn't get billed. With Control, all of that stuff can be automatically calculated and accurately recorded. You can't miss it!"

Tony Dew

• Mr. Schildwachter reports that He set a goal for May and beat it in April by 23%, then beat it again in May by an additional 10%. His bottleneck moved from sales to production. He is reluctant to increase marketing until he has the production ability to fulfill additional orders.
