Dania Furniture Selects VAI ERP to Complement Unique Business Objectives and Grow Without Constraints

Ronkonkoma, NY, March 5, 2024 – VAI, a leading ERP software developer, and Dania Furniture, a sister-brand to Scandinavian Designs, have partnered to implement VAI Enterprise ERP software solutions to run core business functions in Scandinavian Designs | Dania Furniture operations. Well-known for its emphasis on contemporary Scandinavian, or Danish Modern furniture offerings, Dania Furniture is owned by Petaluma, California-based Norwegian native Earling Eide. With a focus on quality furniture crafted for every budget, Scandinavian Designs and Dania Furniture offer the same assortment of contemporary, rustic industrial, and mid-century modern furnishings.

The Scandinavian Designs | Dana Furniture brand has been in operation for almost 60 years, with furniture stores spread across numerous sites in 17 states. As a rapidly expanding business, Scandinavian Designs | Dania Furniture required an integrated ERP system with a single database from a trusted vendor, who could support its expansion and success. To effectively manage inventory and replenishment logic, warehouse management, accounting, and order processing systems were crucial needs for the company. To meet these needs, the company has selected VAI S2K Enterprise, a dynamic ERP solution that helps companies to quickly automate essential business processes. The VAI solution encompasses eCommerce, analytics, and warehouse management in addition to core business functions.

“The VAI S2K Enterprise solution represents a significant leap forward in our operational capabilities,” said Anthony Turner, Director of IT, Scandinavian Designs | Dania Furniture. “The integration of cutting-edge analytics, mobile technology, and real-time data processing transforms how we approach decision-making and strategy. The VAI ERP platform offers a level of customization and scalability that our current system simply can’t match, allowing us to tailor our workflows to complement our unique business objectives and grow without constraints.”

VAI will help Scandinavian Designs | Dania Furniture achieve its expansion plans and topline targets, which include opening more stores around the country. To help accomplish this, the business will make use of VAI's unlimited user licensing, which will enable further expansion without incurring extra costs. The VAI unlimited user licensing model is extremely compelling for customers because they do not have to consider excess ERP costs when analyzing an acquisition outside of the normal costs of integration. The model increases ROI capabilities from the VAI ERP investment.

“Dania Furniture has grown from a single showroom on the West Coast to a national brand with 40+ showrooms full of furniture from across the globe,” said Pete Zimmerman, North American Software Sales Manager at VAI. “Having achieved this level of growth and with future growth plans in mind, we are ready to provide the tools, technology, and assistance which Dania Furniture requires to keep pace and succeed. With VAI’s unlimited user licensing, they can grow their user base, add more locations, set up numerous sessions, and add mobile users without having to pay extra for software license.”

“With VAI’s advanced security features and robust support structure, we're not just investing in a product but in an ecosystem that ensures our data is secure and our operations remain seamless,” continued Anthony Turner. “Selecting VAI and the S2K ERP solution is a commitment to excellence and a testament to our dedication to leveraging technology to drive business success.”
