September 6, 2023

Ronkonkoma, N.Y. — September 6, 2023 — VAI, a leading ERP software developer, and Ivanti Wavelink, a leader in enterprise mobility software for the supply chain, have partnered to bring enhanced mobile capabilities to food distributor customers running VAI S2K Food ERP software.  With Velocity by Ivanti, VAI’s food customers can deploy modernized apps across different devices, optimizing to fit different device screens and keyboard configurations. Velocity is meant to make it simple to optimize telnet and browser-based applications for the latest mobile computers and wearables, integrating with VAI software without requiring migration or modification of S2K applications.

The Ivanti Velocity Platform is a bridge to the future, seamlessly integrating with auxiliary technologies and expanding automation, including voice-directed workflows and autonomous mobile robots (AMs) by optimizing Telnet and web applications. Additionally, Ivanti Wavelink helps manage and secure mobile assets with Ivanti Neurons for MDM, offering one of the only comprehensive solution sets explicitly designed for mobile supply chain worker productivity.

VAI is standardizing the Velocity platform to offer a new supply chain mobility experience that helps make every IT connection smarter and more secure. Velocity will modernize and optimize the mobile experience for VAI S2K Food ERP customers without requiring changes to the enterprise system. Workers can learn workflows faster by replacing manual, time-consuming, and error-prone operations with intuitive workflow navigation and automated processes, leading to increased productivity. By establishing and automating workflows, the new solution will enable businesses to achieve uniformity, and standardization, creating greater efficiency.

Velocity is also validated by 45 device manufacturers, enabling a consistent user experience on any device.  Additionally, the Velocity platform will make it easy for VAI, their integrators, and customer operations teams to optimize mobile workflows with Velocity Voice and add automation capabilities, by integrating emerging technologies and managing assets with mobile device management.

“VAI’s decision to embrace the Velocity platform is a win for their customers,” said Brandon Black, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Ivanti Wavelink. “It’s going to accelerate their productivity in food distribution without having to make any changes to their backend host system, and the modernization will deliver a transformed worker experience that attracts and retains top talent.”

"We're very excited to partner with Ivanti Wavelink to bring enhanced mobile capabilities to our food customers,’ said Larry Murphy, Vice President of R&D at VAI. “To provide proactive, effective service, the Ivanti Wavelink platform can enable VAI food customers to operate in the warehouse on any device with quantifiable benefits that will include improvements in worker morale and safety.”
