Inside Blytheco...Employee Profile

Sally Brown is Blytheco's Director, Client Administration.

My favorite thing about working for Blytheco: I am going on my 12th year with Blytheco and I have seen many changes over the years, especially in the last 4-5 years.  The best part about working at Blytheco is simple, it has been working with the employees.  We have employees all across the country and it is wonderful to work with such talented and caring people.  It is encouraging to see people reaching across the miles to help each other.  This includes sharing experiences and ideas for solving client problems to raising money for the American Cancer Society.

Describe your work with non-profit organizations: Blytheco got involved with the American Cancer Society (ACS) in 1999 when employee, Jim Lundy, was battling melanoma cancer.  Another employee, Ginger Kittinger, contacted ACS and received information on their Relay for Life fundraising event.  We signed up two teams, Blytheco Cancer Bashers as our company team and Cure Seekers as our family team.  Jim was not only a co-worker but he was my brother-in-law of 20 years until his passing 2 weeks before our first Relay.  I am proud to be the Team Captain as we continue raising money, camping out and walking the track for 24 hours at the Relay for Life, every year since then.  We have also added a third team, Kids With Hope, an all kids team made up of the children of co-workers, family, and friends.   We have raised over $70,000 in the past 11 years.   Employees across the country contribute with their donations and ideas for raising money for the cause; hand-made quilts,  motorcycle rally, company cookbook, luncheons, gift basket drawings, automatic payroll deductions, etc.   We are looking to expand the participation even further in the coming years.

Something you can’t say no to: Family is one of the most important aspects of my life and I am thankful to have most of my family close by.  Especially now that I have two grandsons, Landon and Hudson!   My favorite activities include having dinners with family, playing with the grandkids, traveling and taking walks with my husband, our annual Father’s Day picnic and Christmas Eve celebration with all of the extended family of 4 generations, and family reunions in Yosemite National Park.  In fact, my husband Mike and I will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary with a renewal of our vows in Yosemite in 2011.  Hmmmm, how can that be when I’m only “39”?

Make the most of your system

Longtime Blytheco client Currey and Company used to devote hours of staff time entering customer orders into their Sage ERP system. Sales representatives for the high-end lighting distributor regularly attended large industry trade shows, taking orders from customers in a standalone order system and bringing them back to the office to be processed manually.

Blytheco recognized their need for a smoother order process and developed an interface between the trade show system and the ERP system. The integration saves more than two weeks of order entry time and improves order accuracy.

Regardless of the system you use or how you use it, Blytheco consultants have the experience and expertise to provide creative solutions to your business challenges. How can Blytheco help you save time and money?
