VAI Increases Productivity for Leading Industrial Distributor

VAI (Vormittag Associates, Inc.), an award-winning ERP solution provider, announced that

Washington-based Spokane House of Hose, a leading provider of hydraulic and industrial hose

and fittings in the Pacific Northwest, has integrated VAI's S2K Distribution Software. VAI's

S2K software will streamline disparate siloed systems into one integrated solution to better

manage supply chain performance against aggressive fiscal business goals. Spokane House of

Hose chose VAI for its track record of delivering powerful enterprise resource planning (ERP)

solutions for the distribution, manufacturing, retail and service industries on time and on

budget.

Spokane House of Hose stocks the largest hydraulic and industrial hose inventory west of the

Mississippi in an 80,000 square foot facility. The company has remained committed to its

roots as a locally owned business, founded in 1973. With expected continued opportunity and

new customer growth, Spokane House of Hose needed to tie together the various parts of its

organization into one centrally managed and scalable ERP system. VAI's S2K Distribution

Software gives Spokane House of Hose and its product partner, Air Electric Equipment and

Tools, the ability to analyze trends in inventory and shipment orders to streamline warehouse

management operations and eliminate unnecessary and time-consuming manual processes.

According to Rob Jones, project manager, VAI, "We implemented a robust and customized

software solution for Spokane in record time, and the system has delivered value from day

one. Our goal was to fully integrate both Spokane House of Hose and Air Electric Equipment

and Tools, with complete visibility into all business operations, to better manage and

analyze the Company's inventory and financial performance. Both sides of the business are now

working harmoniously for greater efficiencies in overall operations performance."

Mark Swenson, general manager, Spokane House of Hose, added, "It was not just VAI's in-depth

understanding of the intricacies of our distribution business, but their spirit of

partnership and committed staff that convinced us this project was not only achievable but

critical for the growth and development of our company. With VAI's S2K Distribution Software,

we can focus on what we do best -- offer fair pricing, quality products, expert advice and

excellent customer service -- only now we're doing this so much easier, faster and with

better business intelligence."

VAI's S2K Distribution Software offers customers numerous solutions to help manage supply

chains, enterprise resources and customer relationships efficiently and effectively.
