In a supply chain management software context, Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) originally had a reputation of burdening the seller and benefiting the buyer. The last few years have been challenging. The silver lining is that companies have been forced to re-evaluate how they operate, inspect every process, and identify what and how to improve. Many companies have turned to supply chain management software that allows closer collaboration with key partners to improve efficiency, reduce costs and drive a more profitable supply chain. While supply chain costs have decreased, however, there is still a lack of continued absence of true collaboration.

This white paper examines how traditional VMI and CPFR in a supply chain management software platform have come together to form a more encompassing process, ensuring that service levels remain high while inventory levels remain lean. Learn how a more updated process can:

  • Dramatically reduce inventories
  • Communicate information and benefits across trading partners
  • Improve efficiency and cut costs across the supply chain
