SouthWare Dealer Helps Customer Reduce Inventory with VALOGIX
Auto parts distributor expects a reduction in inventory of $1,000,000 in the first year

July 6, 2010 - Saratoga Springs, NY USAValogix LLC, a provider of inventory planning and optimization solutions announced today that Opus Integrated Business Systems has signed a new customer deal with an auto parts distributor located in the Atlanta area. They are expected to reduce their inventory by $1,000,000 in the first year and an additional $500,000 in the second year by implementing VALOGIX® Inventory Planner.

"Recently, our customer saw exponential growth in the number of items in each of their three distribution centers - more than 17,000 skus in each location," comments Vali Malkin, President of Opus Integrated Business Systems, reseller of SouthWare and Valogix. "Their ERP system performs basic inventory management, planning and forecasting functions, but lacks visibility to exceptions and overstocks, especially between the branches. When the customer saw how in a single click, Valogix displays exactly how much money was tied up in dead, slow moving and active inventory, they were sold. In addition to the expected $1,500,000 reduction in inventory they expect in the first two years, they also expect an increase in productivity because the manual effort they spent pulling reports then looking through thousands of items will be eliminated. Valogix automates the process beyond what we imagined possible."

Tim Beckett, President of BTM Solutions, the national SouthWare distributor for Valogix adds, "We have more and more clients who are struggling to manage inventory quantity, costs and turns - all of which all make a huge difference to the bottom line. Now that we have developed the integration between VALOGIX and SouthWare, our clients are reducing costs, increasing profits and improving customer satisfaction because their planning capabilities are dramatically improved."
