What is Vendor Managed Inventory?

Vendor Managed Inventory is an agreement between a vendor and a retailer where the vendor is in charge of the retailer’s inventory. This means that the vendor decides when to restock the retailer’s inventory based on inventory levels and in anticipation of upcoming sales. The retailer provides sales information to the vendor so they can plan out optimal times to restock, which allows the retailer to carry less stock than they usually would.

Both sides stand to gain incredible benefits by opting into a VMI agreement:

• Steady supply/customer - The retailer gets a reliable supplier and the vendor gets a recurring customer
• Reduced supply costs - With full vision of supply needs, vendors can plan out the cheapest shipment routes ahead of time
• Less inventory to manage - Since retailers receive stock as they need them, they can cut down on storage space and extra stock
• More control - Vendors can ensure that retailers never run out of stock and keep an eye on product performance
• Mutual support - Both companies can share their expertise to reduce costs further and better serve their customers
