No. V Net is designed to enhance and extend the capabilities of your existing systems and processes.

V Net is 100% scalable, fast and efficient. We will rapidly deploy a live platform, custom-built to suit your business and product needs. Cloud-based, our software is designed to seamlessly integrate with and extend the capabilities of your existing and legacy systems. Of course, even the most sophisticated software needs people to drive real, actionable results. That’s why we also provide our clients with a team of V Net Inventory Specialists dedicated to working alongside your Buying and Sales teams day-to-day; as a standard inclusion in the ongoing service fee.
V Net is much more than just a suggested orders system. Setting us apart from other systems, once an order is approved, we send an electronic file in the PO format required by supplier and retailer systems. This means that creation and transmission of your order is guaranteed and not delayed in waiting for staff to key in the order. In addition, the electronic transmission of our order forms part of the critical path to ensure stock lands at store on time.
The V Net cloud platform is built on enterprise-class and proprietary technologies that are hosted in SOC-2 audited data centres. Security and redundancy are built into all levels of the system allowing secure and consistent access to sensitive datasets. Security can be tailored to suit all business security requirements, including controlled access based on user groups.
Your dedicated team of V Net Inventory Specialists will manage the V Net platform on your behalf. Their role is to collaborate with and support your Buying and Sales teams in achieving your key business metrics.
