Case Study: Shar Music achieves automated, error-free Ecometry batch processing with JAMS

Shar Music Enhances Ecometry Retail Application with JAMS

Shar Music, a family-owned leader in the U.S. string-instrument market since 1962, fulfills orders across North America and more than 60 countries. To manage online sales it relied on the Ecometry retail application, but back-end batch processing was handled manually or with Windows Task Scheduler, which was labor-intensive, error-prone and struggled with peak month-end workloads.

Shar selected JAMS as an affordable, robust job scheduler that handles cross-platform Windows and UNIX processes, automates parameters and manages interdependent batches with queuing controls. JAMS was implemented within a week, eliminated manual parameter entry, reduced errors, streamlined month-end reporting and saved significant staff time and costs—allowing Shar to “set it and forget it.”
