Case Study: Champion Cutting Tool achieves secure cloud ERP and unified CRM for streamlined sales with Vormittag Associates

Cloud-based ERP from VAI guarantees wholesale distributor is a champion in the tool cutting industry

Champion Cutting Tool, a multi-generational supplier of professional cutting tools and abrasives, needed modern, secure, cloud-based systems to support growth after an acquisition — including mobile WMS, CRM, demand planning, analytics and eBusiness capabilities. Champion selected VAI and its S2K/VAI Cloud ERP and Sales Force modules to replace on-premises software, provide remote access for out-of-state sales reps, and improve security and ease of administration.

VAI implemented its Cloud ERP with S2K warehouse and CRM functionality, integrated shipping/UPS tracking, and a redesigned website, giving Champion centralized sales data, drag-and-drop opportunity dashboards, and detailed monthly financial reporting. As a result, Champion can train new hires faster, let sales reps access customer, inventory and order information from anywhere, streamline order-to-ship accuracy, and focus on daily operations without worrying about system storage or security — all delivered by VAI.
