ATLANTA - July 1, 2009 – OmniVue, the East region leader in delivering flexible accounting, financial and customer management solutions for informed decisions, announced today that Valor Brands, a provider of private label diaper and pant products, will be optimizing its business financials through the use of a hosted Microsoft Dynamics GP solution from OmniVue. Using the OmniVue financial management solution, Valor Brands expects to automate 80% of its reporting processes while optimizing the management of its accounts receivables and lowering inventories.

Based in metro Atlanta, Valor Brands is an organization dedicated to its retailers’ category growth and profitability. To accomplish this, the innovative diaper company sources the best materials, utilizes state-of-the-art technology and focuses on quality and innovation throughout each step of the research/development and manufacturing process. Now featuring an environmentally sensitive diaper which uses less petroleum-based materials and more sustainable materials, Valor Brands delivers diapers that are better for baby, better for the family and better for the planet.

“In today’s economic climate, consumers are looking for more ways to cut costs—especially when it comes to their shopping budget,” said Scott Harrison, vice president of operations, Valor Brands. “Once people try our product, they are converted. Our products are on par with the national brands.”

The Valor Brands business model has proven exceptionally successful. The company has experienced strong growth since its inception in 2003. Yet, with this growth has come an increasing need to focus on operational efficiencies and financial processes. After considering its business requirements, Valor determined that its legacy system could no longer support its rapid growth and the needs of its stakeholders.Ideally, the company wanted to improve its financial reporting and analysis capability, while streamlining accounts payable processes, inventory tracking and transactional accounting. Harrison led the team that ultimately chose Microsoft Dynamics GP for its ease of use and flexible reporting, and opted to implement the new software solution in a hosted implementation through OmniVue to eliminate additional server and application management headaches.

“Before our OmniVue solution, most of our reporting and analysis was not being done from within the financial application. It was all done separately in Microsoft Excel,” said Harrison. “Sales couldn’t do any true data analysis. Now, sales will have full reporting capabilities. And reports that would typically take eight to 12 hours per week will be automated by up to 80%, reducing our reporting time to just one to two hours a week. It will bring substantial efficiency to our organization.”

Using its new hosted Microsoft Dynamics GP solution, Valor Brands also expects to achieve the following additional results:

• Lower overall inventories
• Optimized Accounts Receivable processes by transforming what were once 80 page reports into pivot tables that can be easily sliced and diced as needed
• Integration of warehouse inventory data and elimination of the risk of human data entry error
• Easy-to-view dashboards for key business data including revenue, AR aging, budgets and inventory
• Streamlined item management processes with clear audit trails which eliminate timely change tracking

Microsoft Dynamics is a line of integrated, adaptable business management solutions that enable business professionals to make important business decisions with greater confidence.  Microsoft Dynamics works like and with familiar Microsoft software – easing user adoption and reducing the risks inherent with implementing a new technology solution.  These solutions automate and streamline financial, customer relationship, and supply chain processes in a way that can help drive a businesses’ success.

OmniVue offers Microsoft Dynamics solutions as hosted, on-demand or on-premise options.  Companies like Valor Brands can easily move from hosted and on-demand options to on-premise should their needs change and, companies with on-premise Microsoft Dynamics solutions who wish to scale back on their IT investments can move their system to OmniVue’s hosted environment.
