Ronkonkoma, N.Y. - December 18, 2018 - VAI, a leading ERP software developer, announced that it has experienced record-breaking conference attendance and unprecedented year-end activity to close a banner year in 2018.

VAI also released the 6.1 upgrade for its flagship S2K Enterprise ERP solution, featuring a simplified user interface and the addition of new efficiencies to S2K Warehouse, S2K Suggested Purchasing, S2K Mobile, and S2K Analytics applications. These solutions offer customers scalability, and also play a part in making VAI’s technology truly comprehensive to meet its customers’ unique business needs.

“Each year, we focus on the various needs of our customers by developing new solutions that truly encompass all aspects of their business and provide unparalleled support,” said Bob Vormittag Sr., founder and CEO of VAI. “With the addition of new partnerships in 2018, such as SAP Concur, Vertex Inc., and ActiveCampaign, we continue to tailor our various solutions to meet our customers’ evolving business challenges.
