Case Study: Kauffman Engineering achieves rapid, cost-effective acquisition growth with Vormittag Associates' unlimited-user ERP

VAI helps Leading Electrical Supply Manufacturer Rapidly Expand Through Acquisitions

Kauffman Engineering, a multi-location supplier of wire harnesses, cable assemblies and related components, faced a rapid expansion challenge after acquiring three companies: they needed to unify manufacturing, inventory and supply‑chain processes across sites while avoiding cost‑prohibitive per‑seat ERP licensing. One acquired company already ran VAI’s ERP/MRP software, presenting a ready path to consolidate systems and preserve scalability.

Kauffman consolidated operations onto VAI’s ERP/MRP platform and used VAI’s unlimited user license to onboard employees from all locations without added per‑seat fees. The switch unified processes across the three acquisitions, removed licensing barriers to growth, and allowed Kauffman to scale teams and supply‑chain capabilities cost‑effectively while continuing to expand with VAI.
