U.S. Air Tool Flies High With VAI's Cloud ERP Software

Ronkonkoma, N.Y. - June 23, 2015 - US Air Tool Co., a U.S. manufacturer and worldwide distributor of high quality tools for the aviation industry, has improved business processes and reduced operating costs with VAI’s S2K cloud-based ERP software. Since implementing S2K, US Air Tool Co. is simplifying the e-commerce process and improving customer satisfaction.

For more than 60 years, US Air Tool Co. has been supplying the aerospace and metal working industries with high quality tools and equipment to build and maintain aircrafts. To reduce costs associated with running on premise software in its New York and California locations, US Air Tool Co. sought a cloud-based ERP solution.

“We wanted a system that would fit within our budget while also integrating seamlessly into our IT environment. VAI’s deep expertise in ERP and reputation for empowering mid-market companies with comprehensive, user-friendly solutions made it the ideal partner to address all of our current and future objectives,” said David Lombardo, Comptroller, US Air Tool Co. “VAI made the migration to the cloud seamless for IT and end users, and we look forward to further improving business processes, enriching the customer experience, and promoting company growth.”

Since migrating to the cloud, US Air Tool Co. has realized the following business benefits:

• Reduced Maintenance Costs:
• US Air Tool Co. no longer needs to manage and maintain internal hardware and software separately, providing significant cost savings.
• Data Backup and Security:
• VAI S2K Enterprise provides secure access to the ERP system, eliminating the need for US Air Tool Co. to be concerned with system failures or data breaches.
• Investment Protection:
• With VAI’s pay-as-you-go subscription basis, US Air Tool Co. can invest in other areas of the business, such as purchasing new office equipment, enhancing the website, and expanding manufacturing procedures with the new cloud model to better analyze costs.

“Mid-market companies require a cost-effective solution that meets all of their business needs and doesn’t compromise on customer service,” said Bob Vormittag Jr., project director, VAI. “We are thrilled to provide US Air Tool Co. with an ERP solution that meets their business objectives and allows them to focus on company growth. We look forward to implementing S2K portal technologies to help US Air Tool Co. further streamline their business operations.”
