Measuring Success: Why AV Deserves a Rating System

Today, businesses face a series of challenges that impact their operations, growth, and customer satisfaction. One of the most significant hurdles is the lack of streamlined processes in ordering, installing, and putting to use new technology solutions employees need to communicate and collaborate. From lack of urgency to inefficient inventory management and distribution, these issues can result in increased costs, missed deadlines, and ultimately, dissatisfied customers.
"Through the Velocity Certification process, we remove the need for repetitive prerequisites," said David Watkins, Manager of the Velocity Logistics Center. "All of the planning and process creation is done in the first 30 days. Most people think this means designs need to be simpler to qualify for certification, but that's not the case. The VLC and the team tasked with managing it focus on efficiency (using previously mentioned manufacturing strategies) and develop processes that can be applied to any concept. This removes redundant steps and creates a more standardized approach."
Furthermore, AVI Systems understand our customers want proven technology solutions delivered and installed quickly. System integrators should always advocate for their clients–simplify the ordering process, shortening delivery times, and ensuring the technology will work. The gap between expectations and reality created a pressing need for innovation. At AVI, we work every day to resolve issues just like these.
Recognizing the diverse needs of businesses today, the VLC offers scalability and flexibility. Customers have the option to choose from our four pre-configured solution sets:
Each of the Velocity solutions are delivered at a fixed price. Whether handling small-batch shipments or large-scale distribution, the Velocity Logistics Center facility is equipped to adapt to fluctuating demand seamlessly. High transportation costs and operational inefficiencies are eliminated.

“We’ve quoted several customer standards through the VLC and the volume of solutions we are prepared to build, test and ship for installation are on the rise,” said David Watkins. “Our goal of 1,000 deployments in a 12-month period inspires me to make the VLC capabilities better every day.”
