Gary D. Herwitz: CoMetrics Supply Chain Management Solutions, Frequently Asked Questions
Gary D. Herwitz serves as a Managing Partner at CoMetrics Partners LLC, whose innovative supply chain management system has helped many small to medium-sized import/export-based businesses maximize efficiency. Below, Gary D. Herwitz answers common questions about CoMetrics’ supply chain management (SCM) solutions.
Q: Can CoMetrics integrate with our current enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions?
A: Yes, the CoMetrics Integrated Management Solution (CIMS) was designed from the ground up to work with other ERP installations. Our experienced consultants will learn the specifics of your current solution and draft a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Using the SOP, we can connect your ERP to CIMS in such a way that it addresses the particular needs of your company. For clients that prefer a less involved approach, our CAAS (CoMetrics As A Service) option allows easy access to Web-based tools not requiring ERP integration.
Q: We are a small company and our logistics aren’t that complicated. Can CoMetrics SCM solutions benefit us?
A: Usually. As long as you have an ERP software provider and import 300 FCLs or more per year, you can benefit from CIMS. For companies that do not meet this volume, CAAS may prove the better choice. In either case, automation of labor-intensive tasks will save you time and money while increasing your ability to focus on your core business.
Q: How is the CAAS (CoMetrics As A Service) solution implemented?
A: We have designed our SCM tools to operation through a Web interface, and we outsource the server and bandwidth requirements for CAAS to a provider in your region.
Q: What are the primary advantages to adopting a CoMetrics system?
A: CoMetrics SCM solutions allow you to see all aspects of your supply chain in real-time, from the smallest details to a large overview. Our solutions integrate with your existing ERP installations, minimizing the cost of setup. Once installed, CoMetrics SCM solutions give you the ability to scale your business to any size, compete globally, and realize major process efficiencies. In fact, CoMetrics can reduce your cost to process data by as much as 50 percent. Finally, CoMetrics solutions have been designed to meet many financial reporting requirements, automatically generating paperwork and other documentation for customs, shipping, and general ledger.
Q: How do I know CoMetrics really understands my company’s needs?
A: Our team possesses nearly a century of collective experience in the finance and business process industries. CoMetrics has a consistent track record of success in helping a diverse range of companies meet their SCM needs. Our partners spend a large proportion of their time in China and several countries, giving them a global perspective on business process needs.

Famous Skiers Throughout History
An accomplished financial professional and current Managing Partner of CoMetrics Partners LLC, Gary D. Herwitz enjoys skiing in his free time. Throughout the history of skiing, a number of skiers have had a profound impact on the sport as both a competition and a winter leisure activity. Gary D. Herwitz shares a short list of some of the most famous skiers of the 20th century.
Dick Durrance: One of the sport’s first truly dominant figures, Dick Durrance made his international debut in 1932 at the age of 17, when he won the German Junior Alpine Championship. Although he failed to earn a medal in the 1936 Olympics, Durrance captured 17 national championships throughout his career, including a number of marquis events in Europe. Durrance also played an integral role in the establishment of skiing in the United States, cutting some of the first trails in Sun Valley and establishing Aspen as a major ski destination.
Jonny Moseley: One of the most influential skiers in recent years, Jonny Moseley revolutionized the sport with his combination of technical prowess and innovative tricks. Moseley’s most famous competition was the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, where he famously executed his signature “dinner roll” move. The judges ruled the trick illegal, which cost Moseley a place on the medal stand. After Moseley lobbied the International Ski Federation (FIS) to allow the trick in competition, the international skiing body changed the rules and, ultimately, the sport of skiing.
Jake Burton Carpenter: Unlike many of the world’s greatest skiers, who enjoyed long and successful careers, Jake Burton Carpenter saw his skiing career cut short by a car accident. After recovering from the crash, Burton moved to Vermont and pioneered the use of the “Snurfer,” an early snowboard prototype complete with a rope. Burton’s invention soon exploded in popularity, opening up the world of winter sports to snowboarders everywhere.
Warren Miller: A resident of Sun Valley during the 1940s, Warren Miller spent much of his youth making ski and surf videos with his friend. After receiving positive feedback from friends and strangers alike, Miller decided to market his videos through his company Warren Miller Entertainment. Today, the annual feature-length ski films from Warren Miller Entertainment have earned a cult following in ski towns across the United States, with their releases traditionally marking the beginning of the ski season.
