Longevity in the software and technology industry is rare, with an average tenure of just two to three years. That is why Global Shop Solutions, a leading provider of ERP software for manufacturers worldwide, is honored to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Greg Bean, Director of Data Analysis, who leads a team that helps manufacturers quickly resolve advanced and specialized ERP data analysis questions.
“Greg Bean brings unparalleled expertise to the manufacturing industry and Global Shop Solutions customers,” says Dusty Alexander, President and CEO of Global Shop Solutions. “His impressive skill in manufacturing accounting—an often overlooked yet critical discipline—empowers customers to easily understand complex financial concepts. Greg’s unique ability to lead a specialized team who can translate numbers into clear insights allows our manufacturing customers to focus on what they do best: making exceptional products.”
Indeed, Bean and his team’s main focus is tying a company’s operations to its financial statements, called inventory accounting. In addition to his virtual expertise, he often travels to manufacturing locations to provide in-person guidance, helping ensure their business processes and financial records are seamlessly connected for accurate decision-making.
With Global Shop Solutions’ customer base growing steadily over the past two decades, Bean developed a new process for training employees straight out of college to help customers resolve questions faster than before. In addition to his passion to train college-aged kids in manufacturing ways, he keeps his office open for other employees to seek advice and often takes them along to customer visits, giving them hands-on experience with his methods and processes.
In addition to Bean’s inventory accounting mastery, he also devotes time to community service. When disasters such as hurricanes wreak havoc on his local South Texas community, he joins volunteers to help homeowners save money by removing the parts of their homes that require demolition. He also helps raise money for Eagle Scouts and high school sports programs.
Twenty years may seem like a long time to stay in one place, but not with Bean. “I love what I do and the people I work with,” he says with a smile. “I expect to be here for many more years helping our employees and customers be the best they can be.”
