About Us
Our Story
Vueterra started out of frustration. Business consultants were just that, generalists with expertise that offered little value to front-line staff. Jeff Warren set about trying to redefine the client experience, moreover, supplying experience and firsthand knowledge to get better solutions to front-line staff in the supply chain MRO (Maintenance Repair and Operations) industry.
That philosophy is carried on through Vueterra’s expanding portfolio of services of Business Intelligence and ERP improvement & management. Functionality must serve the operation and be simple to operate, complexity ruins effectiveness and creates unnecessary bottlenecks making work harder and less fulfilling for the workforce. The sharing of our collective real-world expertise is what sets Vueterra apart from its peers and helps our clients.
