Why Would I Let a Supplier Manage My Inventory?

Why You, As a Distributor, Will Like VMI:

As a distributor, why would you want a supplier involved in managing your inventory? Why would you want to allow a supplier to maintain something as important to your business as having the right inventory on hand? Here are three good reasons:

• Improved Inventory Management
• Reduced Administrative Costs
• Stronger Supplier Relationships

“VMI helps us better manage our fast moving, high volume items which account for approximately 75-80% of total inventory. For our lower demand or slower moving items, VMI has helped reduce our inventory to levels that still support demand, but minimize our inventory investment.”
