Parts Wholesaler/Distributor Turns to Windows to Boost Productivity in Daily Tasks

Category: Software and Web Development, Servers and Server OS

Overview Southern Fasteners is a large regional wholesaler and distributor of parts such as screws and nuts, bolts, drill bits, electrical panels, and other kinds of hardware. The company used a proprietary, UNIX-based application for tasks such as tracking inventory, entering orders, and managing customer information. The application was difficult for employees to learn, and was cumbersome and time-consuming to use. UNIX-based software was not very flexible. Southern Fasteners evaluated alternatives and chose V2, a modular application from Distribution One that manages an array of tasks. Distribution One had migrated its application from UNIX to the Windows Server operating system to make daily tasks easier for customers.
