VENDOR MANAGED INVENTORY



Managing Your Inventory While
Saving Time & Money



What We Do


We offer two Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs—VMI Assisted and VMI Pro—tailored to the needs of OEM, industrial,
commercial and electrical contracting sectors. Both programs deliver streamlined processes, optimized stocking levels and
enhanced operational efficiency. With over 35 years of managing on-site inventory, you can trust us to be your
partner in inventory management success.

Key Benefits


Our VMI services help overcome inventory management
challenges, including:


Operational Efficiency

Streamline processes and increase workflow efficiency, leading to quicker
turnaround times and greater productivity.


Cost Reduction

Reduce time and administrative costs associated with placing purchase
orders and inventory holding costs for excess stock.


Inventory Accuracy

Implement automated monitoring, inventory organization and manage
inventory obsolescence.

VMI Assisted - You Maintain Control

Our VMI Assisted program lets you stay in control while we assist. You decide what gets replenished and ordered and we help organize and label your products. Orders are placed easily and electronically, reducing the time your staff spends on the process. Place orders as often as needed, with next-day delivery in most cases, and get usage reports at the touch of a button. 

BENEFITS

  • Enhanced Operational Control: Maintain full control over product selection and ordering frequency, with the flexibility to place orders as needed.
  • Streamlined Ordering Process: Streamline procurement with simplified electronic ordering and, in most cases, next-day delivery.
  • Efficient Inventory Management: Enhance inventory oversight with assistance in organizing, labeling, and instant access to usage reports.

VMI Pro - We Do It All

Our VMI Pro program offers full-service inventory management. We handle organizing, ordering, delivering, and putting away your stock while monitoring levels and generating usage reports. This improves accuracy, reduces downtime and costs, and helps maintain optimal inventory levels so you can focus on your core business.

BENEFITS

  • Enhanced Inventory Accuracy: Improve inventory levels, reduce stock-outs and excess stock to optimize space and resources.
  • Increased Operational Efficiency: Boost productivity and reduce downtime by ensuring necessary material is always available.
  • Cost Reduction: Lower inventory expenses and streamline the procurement process.
