Ronkonkoma, N.Y. - July 18, 2016 - VAI, a leading ERP software provider, today announced the results of an independent case study conducted for Imperial Bag & Paper Co., LLC, a large, independent distributor of food service disposables and janitorial supplies headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey. The study found that Imperial Bag & Paper experienced 100 percent ROI after deploying VAI S2K Enterprise Management Software, with a complete payback in 1.1 years and an average annual benefit of $1,194,353.
