Bryan Willard

CEO   
Whirlwind Software is a family owned and operated business. Bryan has worked in every single position in a retail appliance store from the warehouse to sales and office management. In addition to his appliance store experience he is a programmer. He brings a unique skill set to the table. This unique understanding allows him to develop the most integrated, reliable and customer friendly software in the industry. He is a programmer who understands the business so well, that he has written a software program to help today's appliance store be able to run more efficiently on all fronts. Bryan first started working for DeMar Young at Sure Appliance in Utah. On his first day they had nothing for him to do. So he watched how everything was done. He noticed that while they had a computer system, it was not being utilized. There were 3 store locations and when a delivery was needed a store would call their contact at headquarters to schedule it. Without the use of a computer program this contact would answer the phone and then run to a delivery board to check to see if the date was available, then run back to the phone and confirm yes or no. If the answer was no, they ran back to the board to check on another date. The process was time consuming and inefficient. After 3 days of watching this process Bryan approached DeMar with a software solution. In 1991 he designed a delivery program where employees could lookup and schedule deliveries. With the delivery program running smoothly Bryan developed an order entry program. While these programs made the process more efficient he noticed they would be even better if they could talk to each other. This realization motivated him to develop an inventory lookup screen program, which allowed the programs to communicate with each other. In 1998 LaMar Young became the President of Brand Source, putting him in charge of 3200 stores. Watching other store owners doing all their business on paper and 3x5 cards LaMar realized that no one had good software. With the Sure Appliance stores running smoothly Bryan began to develop the software to take to other appliance stores. In 2000 his software was piloted at Nampa Appliance owned by Jackie King. They still use his software today. Since his first show in 2002 he has been providing top of the line inventory management software to businesses around the globe. He has developed software for clients such as Hamilton Appliance, Famous Tates, Baillios Appliance, and Idlers Appliance to name a few. To date he has never lost a customer all who have used his software continue to do so today, with the exception of those few who have gone out ofbusiness. Bryan’s commitment to his client’s success drives him to continually pursue improvements. Many of Bryan’s customers seek his advice on which new technology they should use in their stores. There are many “cool and fun” technologies that could actually reduce productivity. But they are really cool. Bryan helps his customers understand which ones to apply and how to make them work for the store to increase productivity, revenue. With his hands on experience in retail appliance he has the ability to design software with the needs of the customer in mind.
