Case Study: Long Island Pipe Supply, Inc. achieves under‑1‑minute order processing and real‑time inventory accuracy with Vormittag Associates (VAI)

Long Island Pipe provides superior customer service with VAI ERP solution

Long Island Pipe, a nearly 50-year-old wholesale distributor and fire sprinkler/plumbing fabricator with 20 locations, needed to streamline warehouse, manufacturing, distribution, CRM and retail POS operations while eliminating inventory inaccuracies and slow order entry. To solve these challenges, Long Island Pipe implemented VAI’s S2K Enterprise ERP and manufacturing applications across each location.

VAI deployed barcoded warehouse scanning, mobile tablets for order entry/AR/POS/CRM, automated suggested transfers, and centralized inventory/accounting over the company’s network and IBM Power servers. The VAI solution cut order processing from about 10 minutes to under a minute, reduced picking errors with barcode verification, enabled real-time inventory visibility and easier inter-site transfers, and delivered significant cost savings and improved customer service.
