Product Update- Kirk Visser

January 9th, 2013

View an update from Kirk Visser, VP of Product Development and see what’s new from the R & D team at TurningPoint

Since my last update, the Product Development team has been extremely productive in adding functionality and making improvements to ProfitPoint, developing new products and integrating new technologies into TurningPoint’s offerings.

In ProfitPoint we have enhanced the invoicing capabilities, added new PDF generation and emailing options, enhanced picking, item level promotions, added device support, serial tracking at the item level and upgraded the AP bank reconciliation among other improvements.  We have also enhanced ProfitWeb with retails, reports, order entry and added an order entry only version.  In addition we have added QA and Truck Loading to our RF picking capabilities.

We recently introduced ProfitPoint Lite which provides many of the functions of TurningPoint Software’s ProfitPoint system but has been down scaled to meet the requirements of the smaller and emerging distributor who may have only a handful of users.  ProfitPoint Lite is a 100% Windows-based system, compatible with all web browsers, allows Excel imports and exports, supports taxation and MSA reporting, allows seamless creation of invoices, purchase orders and inventory tracking.  ProfitPoint Lite also can produce detailed reports, support salesperson and customer remote order entry, full accounts payable and accounts receivable and support for promotions and rebates.

We have been working with multiple companies in the Food Service Market to enhance ProfitPoint to fully support the needs of the Food Service distribution market.  We are hoping to go live in the Food Service market early in 2013.  As a part of our Food Service strategy we have partnered with Ai2 and BFC to provide integration with their products to provide our new customers with a best of breed solution.

We have also added a predictive analytic s based service to our product offerings.   This exciting new offering helps wholesale distributors identify cross sell and up-sell opportunities and deliver them at the point of customer contact.   TurningPoint’s Cross sell/Up-sell service can be used as a standalone offering or integrated with ProfitPoint.

We recently added IBM’s Cognos product to our product offerings.  We believe that Cognos provides our customers with the best Business Intelligence platform available to help them to unlock the potential of all of their data.  TurningPoint has become a certified Cognos integrator and will be working with all of our customers in 2013 to help them to understand the potential benefits that Cognos can bring to them.

I am truly excited about all we have done and all that we have planned as we continue to move the product forward, and add a host of other technology improvements.

President’s Letter – TurningPoint’s Newsletter – 2012

December 6th, 2012


Throughout 2012 we saw signs that the economy is starting to recover from the meltdown of 2008.   As the recovery takes hold, TurningPoint is positioned to meet the pent up demand that will surely surface in 2013.  TurningPoint Systems has made many changes and additions over the last year to better support our existing clients with updated products and additional offerings, and to help us to reach further into our target markets.

We have launched a new Infrastructure division to help our customers acquire, deploy and maintain their Information Technology (IT) operating environments.  We have added seasoned technology professionals and formed partnerships with leading vendors to become a full service IT solutions provider.

We have expanded our Business Partner program to include a wider range of products and to include System Integrators (SI), Independent Software Vendors (ISV) and Value Added Resellers (VAR).  The new program will give TurningPoint further reach into our existing markets by partnering with other companies that service and support these same industries.

We have launched ProfitPoint Lite which provides many of the functions of TurningPoint Software’s ProfitPoint system but has been down scaled to meet the requirements of the smaller and emerging distributor who may have only a handful of users.  ProfitPoint Lite provides a lower-price entry point for the smaller company that is looking to leverage TurningPoint’s experience and expertise in the wholesale distribution marketplace.

We have also launched a new website, moved into a new corporate headquarters in Gloucester, Massachusetts, added new companies to our growing list of successful clients, and ramped up our staff to support all the new products and programs.

Above it call, TurningPoint continues to develop our flagship product ProfitPoint.
Our development team has been hard at work enhancing the functionality and navigation of the ProftPoint suite of products and we encourage you to look for product announcements as we deliver new features and functions to the solution.

As the holiday season draws near, I want to wish all of our customers, business partners and employees a happy, healthy and prosperous holiday season, and we look forward to working together to achieve our goals.

Sincerely,

Elery LeBlanc

Economic Report on Pharmaceutical Wholesalers

November 8th, 2012

After reading the 2012-2013 Economic Report on the Pharmaceutical Wholesalers, we felt compelled to share this information as TurningPoint is in the business of improving financial results in the Pharmaceutical Wholesaler industry.

This article will provide you with an overview of wholesalers key business strategies and how they are gaining financial stability. Below is a preview of the article:

The $300 billion U.S. drug wholesaling industry is evolving faster than ever. The biggest wholesalers are positioning themselves as indispensable intermediaries in the supply chain and staking out a powerful position in high-growth channels for specialty drugs. In 2011, the largest wholesalers grew faster than did manufacturers or retail pharmacies. Understanding wholesalers’ strategies and finances has never been more crucial.

The completely updated, revised, and expanded 2012–13 Economic Report on Pharmaceutical Wholesalers gives you a comprehensive overview and analysis of the latest financial and industry data. The report was researched and written by Adam. J. Fein, Ph.D., one of the world’s leading experts on the industry and author of the influential Drug Channels website. Dr. Fein synthesized a wealth of statistical data (including 62 data-packed exhibits), research studies, financial information, and his own unique business consulting experience into a definitive, nonpartisan resource.

Key areas of review

  • Identify the key participants in the drug wholesaling industry
  • Explain the services provided by wholesalers to pharmacies, hospitals, and manufacturers
  • Distinguish among the different wholesalers’ services provided to larger and smaller pharmacies
  • Describe the evolving sources of wholesaler compensation and profits
  • Delineate the sources and uses of cash generated by wholesalers’ business operations
  • Define the key industry trends affecting the wholesale industry
  • Assess differences among the Big Three wholesalers’ business performance

The many new sections in the 2012-13 edition include: an overview of wholesaler key business strategies; a new chapter examining financial stability at the largest companies; information on wholesalers’ role in the 340B discount program; new content regarding pedigree and supply chain enforcement; profit estimates throughout the generic drug lifecycle; additional analysis of top customers; and much more. The report also provides detailed company analysis of the Big Three public wholesalers: AmerisourceBergen, McKesson, and Cardinal Health.
