The Many Perks of a Vendor Managed Inventory

Whether you’re making cars, cakes, or candy, you’ve got one constant, recurring problem that takes you away from being productive: inventory management. Managing an inventory can feel like a real hassle for even small-scale businesses. And for larger companies, inventory management is more than just an obstacle—it can be an immense time sink that requires designated managers, laborers, and logisticians. Suffice it to say, inventory management only gets harder the larger your business grows; and the larger your business grows, the more you need your employees being productive instead of managing inventory.

Unfortunately, inventory management will always be necessary because successful businesses have inventory that needs to be managed. However, there is a better way.

Here at the All State Fastener Corporation, we understand the headache the inventory management can provide. That’s why our professionals offer inventory management for even our largest customers. In this month’s blog post, we’re discussing the benefits of relying on ASF for vendor managed inventory.

Our Vendor Managed Inventory Program

Our vendor managed inventory systems elevate your inventory to a new level of simple, easy, and straightforward use. Whether you only need a delivery once every week or three shifts every day of the week, our reliable professionals can make it happen.

Our systems cover a wide range of client needs and parts across multiple industries. From local clients who only need 25 part numbers managed to worldwide clients who require as many as 5500 part numbers managed, our team never shies away from a challenge. Additionally, we have no problem accommodating however many drop zones you have. Our professionals have experience with as few as 10 drop zones all the way up to 120 drop zones under only one roof.

Using Our Vendor Managed Inventory

We believe in maximizing client control over their vendor managed inventory while minimizing the work they have to do. That’s why we use a web-based kanban software that makes moving and requesting parts intuitive and simple to use. Moreover, our kanban software will tell you and your employees where your parts are, when they’ll be resupplied, how many are processing, and when we’ll return. We also offer:

• Program management
• Transition analysis
• Automated bar coding and scans
• Real time inventory and data base access via ASF Supplier Portals
• Directed buy programs
• Class C commodities
