Solve Inventory Challenges With VMI

Does Forecasting Feel More Like Fortune-Telling?

Volatile demand shouldn’t derail your supply chain. Better insights help you plan smarter and stay ready for what’s next.

Card

Finding the right inventory balance is difficult when demand shifts quickly, increasing the risk of lost sales from stockouts or excess inventory that drives up costs.

Get Smarter Inventory Replenishment

Limited Real-Time Inventory Visibility

Without accurate, real-time inventory data, teams struggle to respond to demand changes, leading to fulfillment delays, missed sales, and inefficient replenishment.

Get Centralized Inventory Insights

Uncertain and Inaccurate Demand Forecasts

Demand variability and limited data visibility make forecasting unreliable, forcing businesses to react instead of plan and increasing inventory and service risks.

Get Data-Driven Demand Planning

Rising Costs of Excess Inventory Storage

Holding excess inventory consumes valuable warehouse space and working capital, increasing storage, handling, and obsolescence costs over time.

Automate Your Inventory Planning

Disconnected Supply Chain Collaboration

Siloed systems and manual processes limit visibility and coordination, making it harder for suppliers and partners to align on inventory and replenishment needs.

Integrate Your Supply Chain

TrueCommerce VMI Platform

Optimize Supply Chain Relationships Like Never Before

Having the right products in the right place at the right time is critical to the success of your brand. But keeping that promise is easier said than done. To deliver a competitive shopping experience, supply chain partners need to work together in new ways. Across industries, TrueCommerce is viewed as one of the best names in global supply chain integration and automation and our VMI capabilities are a key reason why.

TrueCommerce’s VMI solution can support any replenishment model and scale to any number of locations. Internal implementation reduces setup time and costs, resulting in faster ROI. At the same time, the cloud-based inventory software managed by the provider ensures that ongoing costs remain predictable and affordable. That’s why we’re trusted by more than 20,000 locations, manage over 25 million SKUs (sKUs), and generate $50 billion in inventory.

TrueCommerce Datalliance receives data from a distributor, retailer or end user called a Product Activity Report. The report contains information such as sales, product transfers, and inventory position (on hand, on order, in transit).

  1. TrueCommerce Datalliance’s VMI platform reviews the data and sends a recommended replenishment order.
  2. The supplier reviews the recommendations.
  3. The supplier then creates a purchase order and sends it to a customer (distributor, retailer, end user).
  4. Once the customer approves the purchase order, the order is shipped.

Decreased Inventory Costs
Clients can minimize their inventory holdings, leading to reduced storage and handling expenses.

Enhanced Stock Availability
By actively managing inventories, vendors decrease the likelihood of stockouts, thereby improving service levels.

Strengthened Supplier Relationships
VMI encourages a collaborative partnership between the client and supplier, fostering better communication and mutual advantages.

TrueCommerce uses standard business procedures and protocols to exchange data with suppliers and distributors. In general, we receive product activity data in the form of either EDI 852/INVRPT, XML, or a flat file from our customers’ distributors and generate a purchase order for delivery to our customers in either EDI 850/875/ORDERS or flat file format. We also receive certain inventory configuration files and master data extracts from suppliers and, if requested, send distributors a PO acknowledgment file on behalf of our customers. All of these transactions may be transported via AS2, FTP, VAN, or FTPS (FTP over SSH)

VMI should be considered when stock has a high turnover and especially when the products involved can be subject to fast-changing sales trends. VMI is also indispensable for large retailers with multiple suppliers that each require careful stock management.

Most of the largest retailers and manufacturers in the World use VMI to optimize stock levels, but businesses don’t have to be large to benefit from the solution. As smaller businesses realize the benefits VMI offers, many of these companies are now adopting VMI to increase sales and service levels.
