Sales Forecasting
S2K Sales Forecasting is designed to help you assess the likely demand levels so that you can properly manage your inventory and have adequate resources in place. S2K Forecasting uses advanced algorithms such as exponential smoothing, linear regression, holt-winters, and others that measure data points in a series. For each item, each method is analyzed, and the system will automatically recommend the best forecasting algorithm with the highest accuracy. Users can then review the system generated forecast and manually adjust future predictions based on outside forces and sales opportunities. The final adjusted forecast for each item is utilized in S2K Manufacturing for MRP, and S2K Supply & Demand Planning for enhanced suggested purchasing. VAI’s performance monitoring tools provide instant analysis on the effectiveness of forecasts against actual sales.

Users can then review the system generated forecast and manually adjust future predictions based on outside forces and sales opportunities. The final adjusted forecast for each item is utilized in S2K Manufacturing for MRP, and S2K Supply & Demand Planning for enhanced suggested purchasing. VAI’s performance monitoring tools provide instant analysis on the effectiveness of forecasts against actual sales.

Demand Modeling
Using Demand modeling, users can create a demand profile that reflects a sales pattern and assign that profile to an individual item. The user can then enter in overall expected sales and the system will automatically create an adaptive demand distribution that best fits the demand profile. Demand profiling can be an effective tool for items that do not have historical data or when future usage patterns are not expected to be similar to those in the past.

Suggested Purchasing
Automated purchasing systems are a key tool in helping businesses reduce inventory and increase sales. S2K Supply & Demand Planning supports both distributed or consolidated buying at the location or the item level. The system performs complex calculations for each item at each location, looking at usage, seasonality, trends, vendor lead times, safety stock, and then flags those items with specific conditions that are beyond user defined tolerances. The system can optimally push order quantities up to get prepaid freight, or to hit vendor minimums, or to cube out a full container, if desired - all while honoring pack sizes. Additionally, it can consider multiple warehouses in the distribution network and check for overstocked items and facilitate stock transfers before buyers’ place orders to the vendor.

Target Buying
Just-In-Time inventory planning often shifts the cost of carrying inventory back to the vendor which may lead to higher costs of goods and less profits for the distributor. S2K’s Target Buying feature allows buyers to take advantage of costs savings by purchasing up to a vendor target to lower costs based on volume purchasing. Users can set targets by dollar amount, quantity, units, cube, weight or number of pallets and the system will automatically suggest the optimum mix and quantities of items to buy to hit the vendor target. The buyer can then compare the extra carrying cost to the savings to determine if buying to hit the target makes economic sense.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Cost is one of the biggest reasons why companies are moving to VAI’s S2K ERP solutions. 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 expenses, you may find that moving your ERP to the cloud can save your business 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) that can offer you a 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. This option allows organizations to expand locations, add users, deploy multiple sessions, and add RF or Mobile users, without paying additional software licensing fees.

Unique Business Processes
If your company has unique business processes, users may be relying on workarounds to perform their daily functions. Workarounds are exactly what their name implies – extra steps performed in a system to work around missing functionality required to complete a task. Workarounds cause inefficiencies, and in turn, can increase costs and create unhappy employees and customers. VAI’s S2K ERP software can be easily customized to support your unique business processes and requirements as part of a single integrated solution.

Customer Service
In today’s “immediate” world, your customers are looking for convenience. When a customer transacts with your organization, he or she wants an easy and efficient experience. Simple things like integrated email and faxing, and mobile apps and customer portals that provide customer self-service options are not a “nice to have”, they are an expectation. Worst yet, if your legacy system is providing inaccurate data using inadequate integration, this can make a poor customer experience even worse. VAI’s S2K ERP software provides the world class customer convenience tools you need to build customer loyalty and delight your customers, all in a single, integrated solution.
