Vendor Managed Inventory

Employing Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) at a customer’s site has many of the same challenges as managing inventory in your own warehouse – and a few new ones. Chief among them is knowledge. Sharing and being able to act on information such as sales, stock levels, and expiration dates in a timely manner is key to the success of a typical VMI deployment.

There’s a good chance that you’re relying on third parties for reorder, inventory and sales data. But when you can’t give them access to your proprietary systems, receiving these critical inputs becomes even more tricky.

ONEWARE’s VMI solution is web-based for viewing real-time statistics from your office, the customer’s site, or even on the road – without sacrificing functionality. Even better, its simple-to-use interface makes training your sales team, jobbers or your customers completely effortless.

Due to the number of variables (location, management and ownership of inventory could be the responsibility of you, your customer or a third party), not everyone’s definition of VMI is the same. And that’s fine; ONEWARE can be adapted to fit your needs.

Rather than struggling to get your situation to conform to your software’s capabilities, ONEWARE’s versatile architecture can be configured for your situation. And because ONEWARE is easily modified, it flexes as complexity increases and your needs expand.

Scalable and easy to use, ONEWARE suits most Vendor Managed Inventory scenarios. For custom enterprise builds, learn about ONEWARE Services or contact us for more information..
