Vendor-Managed Inventory Programs
Vendor-Managed Inventory Programs
Under VMI, we can work with you to keep your inventory levels as you need them. Simply stated, we monitor your stock levels and replenish that inventory based on an agreed-upon schedule and level. The flow of product meets your needs and our team is able to plan and manage our inventory to best support you. It’s a great tool for successful and long-lasting partnerships!
