Berkeley, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/29/2015 --System Insights (SI) announced that S&S Cycle has selected VIMANA as their manufacturing software platform for improving shop floor production efficiency.

S&S Cycle, Inc. has been in the v-twin high performance parts business for over 50 years, specializing in motorcycle parts like high performance motorcycle kits for Harley-Davidson® motorcycles. S&S Cycle manufactures a complete line of motorcycle performance products ranging from motorcycle slip-on exhaust, bolt on performance intakes, motorcycle big bore kits, or a complete motorcycle engine.

Shawn Thompson, Manufacturing Engineering Manager, S&S Cycle said, "We started with a different software and couldn't get to the finite level of reporting we needed.

We look forward to the savings we will gain from this investment."
