Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)

The VMI process gives suppliers an insight into the current warehouse stocks, the intransit quantities and the actual needs (demands) of their customers.

Based on this information and mutually agreed inventory thresholds, a supplier can optimise its production and deliveries to their customers.


Your benefits

  • Optimise production and deliveries: Use of VMI enables larger batch sizes at supplier, better use of the production resources, fewer special shifts and express deliveries.
  • Alert management: The system informs you of imminent stock shortfalls or excesses, naturally on the basis of your customers’ current requirements and stock levels.
