VT Industries Selects BuyDesign® Software from TDCI


Building Products Manufacturer will Use BuyDesign Configurator to Enhance Web-based Quoting and Ordering

November 1, 2006 - Columbus, Ohio. TDCI Inc, a leading enterprise solution
provider, today announced that VT Industries Inc., a leading manufacturer of
commercial wood doors, fine laminate countertops, and cabinet doors, has
selected TDCI's BuyDesign Configurator to streamline product configuration
within the company's web-based quoting and ordering system. VT Industries will
also use BuyDesign Flex2D to automatically produce as-configured 2D product
models and drawings. BuyDesign Configurator and BuyDesign Flex2D are components
of TDCI's BuyDesign sales and configuration solution. BuyDesign helps companies
increase sales and improve profitability by enabling them to be 'easy to do
business with' while reducing order processing time, cost, and errors.

VT Industries will integrate the BuyDesign product configurator and
visualization engines into the company's existing web-based quoting and ordering
system. That system is used daily by up to 300 concurrent dealer and company
sales people across North America.

BuyDesign rules development studio will make it easier for VT Industries to
maintain configuration rules for the company's diverse product lines, while the
BuyDesign intuitive user interface will make product configuration faster,
easier, and more visual for sales people. BuyDesigns model and drawing
generation will help customers visualize their product during the quoting
process while also providing annotated drawings for use as a reference within
customer service and on the shop floor.

VT Industries selected BuyDesign after evaluating several different product
configurators. "We selected the BuyDesign Configurator because of its
comprehensive feature set, its flexibility to handle all of our product types,
and its robustness in terms of scalability and availability," said Vince Kolb,
VT Industries Systems Analyst. "Just as importantly, we selected BuyDesign
because its architecture allows us to integrate with our existing systems much
easier than other products we evaluated. We also found that the TDCI people who
worked with us understood our industry, our business, and our technical
environment, and could demonstrate everything we asked to see."
