What Makes VAI Different?
Business Solutions - Not Software
One size does not fit all. Most entry level cloud providers will try and accommodate unique business requirements by leveraging built in tools to add fields or change workflows, but they cannot make mainline changes to their software. Thus, to try and accommodate the customer they will recommend an add-on software product or outside programming written by a VAR that adds cost and complexity. Even with minor adjustments, when you are in a multi-tenant cloud environment, automatic updates are fraught with peril as these enhancements can be erased or cause system issues when new features are “automatically” added. Leaving the customer down while the issues are corrected. The problem is, you don’t know what you don’t know. You may not know today that you need a specific feature or function or have a unique customer requirement that your ERP needs to handle. New product lines, acquisitions and mergers can also lead to new requirements. Every VAI customer is in a private cloud environment, with their own copy of our ERP software, and protected access to their data. In this environment, VAI’s team of expert developers can customize your ERP solution to match any unique business requirement giving you a competitive advantage over your competition.
Personalized Support and Assistance from the Author (Not Var)
With VAI, your organization will be assigned an experienced and high-level support team that includes a project director, accountant, multiple programmers, trainers, and system engineers. You will get direct support from VAI and your team will all be VAI employees (not a reseller) who are based in the United States. This team will be available to you throughout the implementation and beyond. Unlike many “call center implementations” where you are left to do all the work, at VAI we take the time to learn about your specific business environment and our team will work closely with your staff, on-site at your location when necessary, to ensure that you are getting the most out of your technology investment.
Dynamic Applications Built for the Supply Chain
VAI’s ERP Solution is not just an accounting system with modules for distribution and manufacturing. VAI’s ERP software was built specifically for the supply chain and includes integrated applications with advanced capabilities for wholesale distribution, manufacturing, and warehouse management. Features like serial number and lot tracking, rebates and allowances, supply and demand planning, B2B eBusiness, MRP, CRP, EDI, drop shipments, RMAs, custom pricing are all base system capabilities. Even VAI’s CRM application was built with the supply chain sales representative in mind, combining powerful contact management capabilities with direct real-time access to all ERP data needed to maximize sales performance. They can also access sales data that can provide insights into customer behavior enabling them to react quickly to customer pricing issues and revenue opportunities. With VAI’s ERP solutions your supply chain business will be fully equipped to maximize success.
Integrated Advanced Solutions that can Save you Money
The benefits of buying “best of breed” software products versus fully integrated systems have been debated for years. Each approach certainly has its pros and cons. While VAI supports industry-leading applications, our approach is to offer integrated applications optimized for the supply chain within our S2K ERP solution that eliminate complexity and integration costs and provide users with effective practical applications that deliver bottom-line results.
Extensible Design with API's for Third Party Application Integration
VAI solutions are easily extensible to match the business processes of the industries we serve and deliver the ability to build extensions in whatever technology people like — without users needing to understand the workings of the ERP itself. VAI provides and will continue to develop publicly available application programming interfaces (APIs) that provide developers with programmatic access to VAI software applications and web services. VAI continued development will also include the tight integration of new Third Party solutions that enhance the supply chain functionality of the VAI ERP suite.

Unprecedented Value to Grow your Business
Companies leverage VAI’s S2K ERP solutions to save money. As a business grows, so does the need for a more robust enterprise backbone. By comparing your current IT infrastructure costs along with your licensing and support costs, you may find that moving your ERP to the cloud can save you money in the long run. Not all cloud solutions are the same; in addition to our Software as a Service (SaaS) pricing, VAI also offers Platform as a Service (PaaS) which can provide you with tremendous costs savings over an ongoing, never ending SaaS price model. In addition, if you are experiencing rapid growth or are in acquisition mode, VAI's unlimited user license option can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. This option allows organizations to expand locations, add users, deploy multiple sessions, and add RF or Mobile users, without paying additional software licensing fees.
