New UI Helps Spur Double Digit Annual Growth with Rocket^® Modern Experience (formerly Rocket Legasuite)

Company

Industry: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions

Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Ronkonkoma, NY, VAI delivers ERP software to over 1,500 customers across industries such as healthcare, engineering, and pharmaceuticals. Their flagship solutions include warehouse management, analytics, and sales force automation, available via cloud or on-premises deployment.

Challenge

The ERP market was shifting to cloud-first solutions, and VAI needed to adapt without rebuilding its systems from scratch.

By 2010, more companies were shifting from on-premises ERP systems to cloud-based platforms, and VAI’s legacy solutions, while powerful, struggled to meet modern demands. Their 5250 green-screen interfaces were incompatible with browser and mobile requirements, as customers sought sleek, responsive, and accessible platforms. An initial attempt to integrate HTML fell short due to system rigidity and limited customization options. To stay competitive, VAI needed a robust solution to modernize their platform while preserving nearly four decades of intellectual property. 

Solution

VAI chose Rocket LegaSuite Web to modernize their ERP solutions and provide cloud-based accessibility.

Rocket LegaSuite Web helped VAI modernize its ERP applications by transforming them into HTML5 solutions compatible with modern browsers and mobile devices. This allowed VAI to retain their existing systems while offering customers a modern, user-friendly experience. The partnership with Rocket Software was driven by its ability to deliver flexible interfaces, HTML5 compatibility, seamless integration with existing systems, and expert support. Rocket’s solutions enabled VAI to meet customer demands, minimize risks, and maintain agility — without the costly disruption of rebuilding their ERP system.

Results

Rocket Software enabled VAI to achieve double-digit growth and deliver enhanced customer experiences.

Since adopting Rocket LegaSuite Web, VAI boosted its average annual growth from 5% to 13%. By leveraging its legacy ERP, VAI enabled customers to achieve milestones like 99.9% on-time shipments and improved inventory accuracy with the cloud-enabled S2K Smart Center application. Rocket’s tools helped VAI modernize while staying competitive and preserving core strengths. This blend of innovation and efficiency has made VAI a leader in delivering impactful solutions.
