Jay Wright, President

Jay founded Vertical Development in 1983 as a program-ming firm specializing in custom accounting and busi-ness inventory software systems. Sensing a need among Aftermarket manufacturers for catalog management software, he directed the focus of the company to that

field, developing database publishing solutions to help distributors and manufacturers manage their parts database.

With over 30 years of management experience, Jay is responsible for directing the technology within the Vertical Development programming groups. Under his guidance, Vertical Development has grown from a systems vendor for a small group of companies, to the industry’s most recog-nized catalog system vendor with the greatest market share. His educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Computer Science from Iowa State University.

Ronald Garand, Vice President

Ron is responsible for account service and sales. He has been involved in the aftermarket since 1974, and his extensive experience in database development and cata-log management was gained first-hand while working for such industry leaders as Fel-Pro, Chicago Rawhide and

Wagner Brake. Ron’s skill in adapting content management systems to what our customers need and his attention to ever-changing industry requirements are valuable assets put to use with each company we serve.

vCatalog - (DIY) Solution The best solutions don’t come in cans – because they start by clearly

defining the business problem; then design a solution to fit. That’s why

we have an entire process for building solutions specific to the customer’s

needs. Our software has streamlined data management for companies na-

tionwide including everyone from the smallest aftermarket players to

some of the largest manufacturers in the industry.

vCatalog - (DIFM) Solution We’ll take whatever catalog information you have and load it into our

industry leading vCatalog solution (like we do for all clients) but instead of

you installing it on your server we’ll supply you with a missing coverage

report based on the ACES Vcdb. Our personalized and fast turnaround will

allow you to focus on expanding your coverage and we’ll focus on keeping

your catalog information up to date with your partners.

Mapping Solutions Mapping enables any company – even those without automated catalog

systems – to export the same files used for producing their print catalogs

in industry standard formats. VDI’s mapping service is modular in design,

so it can be married at any time with our other database and catalog

management systems.

ShowMeTheParts ShowMeTheParts.com is the most up-to-date public parts catalog available

– with information on over 320+ suppliers and manufacturers of Aftermarket

replacement parts. With lighting fast turnaround time you can be assured

the information you find is most current available and published the way the

supplier intended it.

The Vertical program

has allowed us to gain

total control over our

extensive product infor-

mation. We are now able

to manage our application

data, part attributes

and cross reference

information in a single

easy-to-use environment.

The flexibility of outputs

allows us to meet all of

our customer’s demands

effectively and efficiently.
