Exploring ASF’s Vendor Managed Inventory System

When it comes to inventory, there is a best way of doing things: have someone else do it for you.

Here at All State Fastener, we believe that manufacturers should be able to focus on what they do best: manufacturing. And while managing inventory is a necessary part of any manufacturing operation, it can feel like a headache at best and a necessary evil at worst. That’s why we at All State Fastener lead the industry in one of the best vendor managed inventory programs out there.

In this month’s blog post, we’re discussing how you can benefit from our vendor managed inventory program.

The All State Fastener Kanban Software

For our vendor managed inventory program, we operate using a web based kanban software. If you’ve never used a kanban software before, then don’t worry—it’s intuitive, easy to use, and easier to keep track of. Our kanban program allows you to perform essential inventory management tasks with only a few clicks, such as:

• Adding more items
• Removing unnecessary items
• Flagging items that are moving slow
• Printing out regular physical inventory sheets

Additionally, our software is designed to handle any number of inventory items. Whether you have 55 part numbers or 5500, our vendor managed inventory software can manage your products in a simple, efficient process.

Deliveries Through ASF’s Vendor Managed Inventory

Now that you’ve acquainted yourself with our web based kanban software, you may be wondering: when (and how frequently) can you expect your deliveries? Well, that’s up to you.

Our logisticians are flexible depending on your needs but reliable in staying true to their word. That’s why we can accommodate manufacturers of all inventory requirements, such as:

• Multiple shipments every week
• Infrequent shipments
• 10 or fewer drop zones
• 100+ drop zones under one roof

At every step of the delivery process, we also offer shipment tracking. That way, you always know where your parts are and when you can expect them.
