Tenzo

““Last quarter, without making changes, we would have expected [labour] to be 36%. But instead it was actually 31% .””

““Tenzo is helping a lot with driving better numbers.””

“It’s not like you need crazy resources anymore. If you’ve got a goal, you can get there.”

“Get on it as quick as you can. Get as many data sources in as are relevant to the business context.”

“It allows us to have the insights to look at what we want to in our business and make really informed decisions. There’s still a lot of hard work that our teams do, but it gives us the best possible starting point.”

“What I like the most is that all of the information is in one place. So it’s easy to use. And I like that it can be manipulated. I can edit and create cards, so it’s unique. It can be unique to your business, and you can see the data that you want to see.”

“I’ve developed things like the bonus structure based on what I can see in Tenzo because I can easily find the numbers there. So it’s almost like a collaboration, if you like, because these numbers are easy to find. I can create a target for them, or I can keep looking at them and we can monitor how we’re performing.”

“If I’m looking at a particular project, there are certain figures that I want to see and that is where the card creator is brilliant. I might want to see; how much do we normally spend on labour? for example. I can then target how we bring that down or how a wage increase will affect that. Using the data from Tenzo I can then predict what that’s going to look like.”

“We can be a bit more specific. We might have some weird and wonderful metrics that we want to look at and we can do that with Tenzo.”

“We have been able to implement changes in reporting at light speed because of this.”

“I have never worked with a solution that is backed by such passionate people who are willing to push the boundaries and support their users.”

“Tenzo has also been instrumental in my ability to deliver change and provide timely and accurate reporting to the business.”

“With little to no training, almost instantly after implementing, our managers were coming to me asking about numbers they had pulled off Tenzo and telling me how much they love having access to all of the information.”

“The biggest, quickest win that I’ve had is in our end-of-day reporting. By consolidating managers’ end of night commentary with accurate figures, and having this automatically delivered at 6am in one email, our teams all know what they need to focus on for the day the minute they check their emails in the morning. Tenzo has likely paid for itself with that one function.”

“As an FD, visibility of information across the business is a top priority for me, and giving the right people the right data to make decisions enables us to constantly drive the business forward.”

““If Tenzo hadn’t bridged the gap, we would have lost access to our historical data.””

““Tenzo is always part of my recommendation”.”

“Some of the savings are massive year on year. It’s all about pre-empting. You’re on the forefoot. Tenzo gives you that ability to highlight potential savings and control costs. There’s no point talking about a dip in sales at the end of the week and how we’re going to generate more revenue. Control in the moment is key.”

“I asked for discounts to be put on the daily snapshot so I knew we had daily eyes on it. We’ve got a certain tolerance in place, which can be easily tracked and highlight any issues from the previous day.”

“Myself and the MD strive to keep our prices affordable, without sacrificing quality, the systems will flag price changes, giving us the opportunity to renegotiate or look at alternatives and adjust.”

“We try our best to get away from that knee-jerk reaction. If we’ve settled on a rota, let’s just go for it and grab the sales. But then again, if you’ve had say three days of torrential rain in Cardiff and you’re trending a higher than expected Labour %, common sense tells you to react.”

“I look at Tenzo first thing in the morning and last thing at night. We’re at 18 sites, and if you take the foot off the gas , you could be looking at a variance of £5,000 to £10,000 and we’re not the kind of company that sits and discusses things at the end of the month. It’s live all the time. It’s a live discussion.”

“We all need to be looking at the same things and analysing the same data.”

““We’re happy that all of our systems are talking to each other so that we can get a holistic view of what’s happening in the company.””

““We have a best-of-breed technology strategy. We buy point solutions that we deem are best for getting the job done. And then we work on integrating them on the back end.””
