VAI's Mobile ERP Applications Automate Business Processes for Mid-Market Organizations


VAI, a leading ERP software provider, today announced continued momentum for its S2K Mobile Suite of ERP applications. With seamless integration to VAI's S2K Enterprise solution, the Order Entry, Proof of Delivery, and Route Sales applications, respectively, enable users to improve overall customer communication, increase inventory accuracy, and optimize operational efficiency. Additionally, VAI also announced the availability of a mobile Point of Sale (POS) application.

Mobile POS is an extension of S2K's current POS system, and is designed to handle sale transactions at this point. The application enables customers to easily set up more registers during peak seasons or hours to better serve clients with reduced wait times, and fosters more interaction with clients in the store.

Accurate, Real-Time Data Access

As Trinidad and Tobago's leading distributor of top quality international brands, A.S. Bryden & Sons is comprised of three sales teams specializing in food and grocery, hardware and housewares, and premium beverages-all of which needed real-time access to order and billing information from the field. Using VAI's S2K Order Entry application, A.S. Bryden's sales team has critical information at their fingertips, such as stock availability, open purchase orders, customer balance, credit checks, sales history, and more. As a result, the company can now sell, collect, and service customers more effectively with real-time and accurate data support made available with the S2K Mobile application.

"With VAI's S2K Mobile application, our team has leaped ahead of the competition. Sales reps are now equipped with real-time information on all aspects of customers' businesses, including orders already processed, delivered, and everything in between," said Marcus Kanhai, sales manager of food and grocery division, A.S. Bryden & Sons.

"S2K Mobile has been a life saver. I didn't realize how efficient I could be until it was introduced. With visibility of inventory, customer sales, and accounts receivable on the go, I can have much more focused discussions with my customers andhave more time to build my accounts and add value to my customers," added Nicholas Hospedales, director of premium beverages division, A.S. Bryden & Sons.
