Why We Selected Blacksmith Applications
"We selected Blacksmith Applications because of the profit margin visibility functionality offered in FORGE. At a glance, we can tell if a request is profitable or not, inclusive of all other deals the customer already receives. The margin screen is easy to understand, even for those not in finance – one glance, and you can tell if a request is profitable or not. The approval process is quicker and more accurate."
