Southern Fasteners Streamlines Processes With Distribution One

Southern Fasteners, a large regional wholesaler and distributor of parts such as screws and nuts, bolts, drill bits, electrical panels, and other kinds of hardware needed to replace their proprietary, UNIX-based application for tasks such as tracking inventory, entering orders and managing customer information.

The current application was difficult for employees to learn, cumbersome and time-consuming. The UNIX-based software was not very flexible and business processes would frequently need to be adjusted to work within the limitations of the system - not exactly ideal for a growing company in a competitive marketplace.

After evaluating several alternatives, Southern Fasteners chose V2 Fastener, a modular application from Distribution One that manages an array of tasks. Benefits gained by switching applications included the following:

• Daily work is managed in a faster, more streamlined fashion
• A user-friendly interface made navigating between tasks about 75% faster than before
• A flexible solution that is easy to customize
• Software integrated easily with Southern Fasteners other business applications
