Process/Best Practices

A successful implementation takes more than plugging in a new system and flipping the switch.  Vaco ensures that your business processes align with your supply chain goals and strategies.  We leverage industry best practices to optimize your supply chain and drive your business objectives.   

Implementation

Our unique, rapid-phased approach to implementation combined with our years of experience gives you the opportunity for success and quick ROI in your installation and upgrade initiatives. If you're investing in a new system, Vaco will ensure that you realize the full value of your investment.  We've seen what works and what doesn't. We'll help steer you clear of the pitfalls that have brought so many other projects to an unsuccessful end and get you to where you want to be faster than anyone else.

Integration

In this age of acquisition and merger, the integration and interfacing of disparate supply chain systems and processes is of paramount importance. In order to quickly realize return on your investment, it is imperative to facilitate data flow and maximize efficiencies across these systems. Our deep experience across multiple supply-chain and data-warehousing platforms makes us uniquely qualified to provide immediate value in these efforts.

Training

As standard practice, we constantly and consistently facilitate knowledge transfer to our client team members throughout our engagements.  When additional training is necessary, we develop a targeted curriculum which will be taught by the same Vaco consultants who already have an understanding of your business and a rapport with your users.  We ensure that your team is able to successfully use and manage your retail applications long after we've left.
