By automating inventory replenishment, reducing downtime, and ensuring critical supplies are always available, our VMI service enhances operational efficiency.
With real-time data insights and tailored stocking solutions, we help businesses minimise waste, improve productivity, and focus on their core operations while we handle inventory management with precision and reliability.
VMI controls the stock held on a customers site and manages the full reordering and issuing of stock to the end users through a combination of hardware and software solutions.
The software is powerful and configurable to meet the broad requirement of a wide range of industries and applications. The software comes complete with all the features which can be turned on or off depending on your requirements.
Vending machines are extremely robust, modular in design, space efficient and configured to your bill of materials. Each vending system has user friendly software, 24/7 stock availability & accurate stock control.
There are 3 types of secure access options: biometric, swipecard or RFID. All our vending machines can be integrated into customer networks allowing for multiple locations and sites to be managed through a single database.
The Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) process ensures a continuous and efficient supply of essential products with minimal manual oversight.
By leveraging real-time data and automated stock monitoring, our systems intelligently replenish inventory based on usage trends, preventing shortages and reducing excess stock.
This streamlined approach optimises supply chain efficiency, enhances productivity, and minimises downtime, allowing our customers to focus on core operations while we manage their inventory with precision and reliability.
These are the questions and comments that we hear from many potential customers:
“Staff spend too much time in stores”, “Why is my spend so high?”, “Why are so many being used?”, “I don’t know if we have that in stock”, “Typing restock orders is time consuming”, “I don’t know what I have spent”, “Staff only need to have 1 item per day”, “Can I track all my items?”, “This item should only be used by supervisors”, “I have consigned stock” “What was my spend on this project”, “The supply store is 20 minutes away”.
Understand the benefits of what VMI has to offer to answer all of these comments and questions.
