VAI provides enhanced features for suggested purchasing and real-time analytics through a new release of its S2K solution

VAI, the ERP software developer, has launched a new version of its flagship S2K Enterprise ERP solution, 6.1. Featuring a simplified user interface, S2K version 6.1 debuts new efficiencies and innovations around S2K Warehouse, S2K Suggested Purchasing, S2K Mobile and S2K Analytics applications. 

With its latest additions, S2K customers will have a more comprehensive solution to meet their unique business needs, including greater visibility, scalability and access across organisations. The software combines S2K Salesforce with S2K Marketing Cloud, permitting users to easily operate the device, customize the datasets they want to receive, and begin receiving data immediately. 

v6.1 also comes with an enhanced suggested purchasing system. Well-run companies hold up to 30 percent of dead or obsolete inventory. Companies that utilize v6.1 will reduce inventory while simultaneously increasing sales. S2K v6.1 has the ability to manage order requisitions, receive orders, invoice management, track suppliers as well as forecast future spending to help with budgeting. This is an optimal feature for distributors and manufacturers alike. 

“The more dead inventory businesses have in their warehouses, the higher the handling costs and negative cost implications,” said Bob Vormittag, chief executive officer and president at VAI. “There is a serious need for better agility and visibility among businesses’ ERP decisions, and suggested purchasing leverages historical sales data to forecast demand and predict long-range trends. v6.1 will allow our customers to take the guesswork out of purchasing and improve ROI.” 

In addition to augmented suggested purchasing features, S2K v6.1 offers users real-time access into analytics, like customer fill rates, through its ‘Health Check’ dashboards. S2K version 6.1 allows businesses to view up to 100 metrics, which are updated in real-time in the ERP system so organizations have actionable insights into historical trends. 

“At VAI, we strive to continuously develop new solutions to enhance all aspects of our customers’ businesses, provide unparalleled support and offer a simple experience,” said Larry Murphy vice president of R&D at VAI. By introducing v6.1, we are offering our customers the chance to meet all of their business challenges head-on.”
