You'd use Advanced VMI if you're a supplier or
distributor looking to:
Increase sales revenues by providing VMI services
to your customers
Increase the accuracy levels and lower the costs
associated with your current VMI program
Have visibility into inventory being supplied by
competing suppliers – and a chance to supply
additional inventory as part of your VMI offering
Manage consigned and non-consigned inventory
Sales teams find that using the VMI process with a
mobile scanning device significantly reduces errors,
stockouts and downtime. There's less handwriting to
worry about and fewer instances during which
information can be miscommunicated. The order is
placed right on the spot at the customer location and
transmitted in real-time.
In addition to saving time and virtually eliminating
customer order errors, the biggest benefit to VMI is
that your customers will love it.
Giving customers the ability to replenish orders is a
fast and simple way to streamline inventory
management and order fulfillment. In other words,
Advanced VMI is a win-win for everyone.
When a customer begins to run low on inventory,
Advanced VMI creates an automatic replenishment
order. The vendor receives the order, which is
approved and shipped. Advanced VMI then triggers
an advance shipping notice (ASN) and the order is
scanned by the customer upon receipt.
