Montreal, Canada, July 26, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Visual 2000 International Inc. (http://www.visual-2000.com) announces that leading Canadian wholesale distributor LEF Industries has begun implementation of its Visual End2End™ enterprise solution. The distributor of global fashion apparel, footwear, and action sports brands will use the integrated, industry-focused software across its purchasing, inventory management, distribution, customer service, and financial management operations at its Brossard, Quebec headquarters. LEF expects the move to the all-in-one solution to streamline processes, increase operational efficiencies, and enhance customer service.
