Hybrid, Supported Inventory Management
Why Partner with Us?
"Fasteners Etc. made our transition to VMI seamless. Their team keeps our fastener inventory fully stocked, which has eliminated downtime, reduced excess inventory, and improved our workflow. It’s one less thing we have to worry about."
Purchasing Agent, KSi
Following an on-site consultation, our team completed a detailed assessment and developed a customized Hybrid, Customer-Supported Inventory Management solution designed to streamline storage and improve inventory control. The solution blended customer control with Fasteners Etc. support.
Our team coordinated new shelving and color-coded bins, clearly labeled with barcodes for full implementation of our electronic ordering system. This hybrid approach allows the customer's team to maintain direct control over inventory usage while leveraging Fasteners’ expertise to ensure consistent replenishment and system efficiency. Implementing optimized reorder guidelines supports the customer while allowing full automony.
The redesigned supply area now consolidates both standard and metric hardware into less than 20 feet of wall space, organized with scannable labels for quick identification and replenishment. When a bin is emptied, staff simply scan the barcode and enter the desired quantity, ensuring fast and accurate order entry.
Weekly replenishment cycles maintain consistent stock levels, reducing the need for manual tracking while ensuring inventory remains organized, reliable, and readily available. This collaborative model improves visibility, reduces downtime, and keeps operations running smoothly through a balanced partnership between customer oversight and Fasteners’ inventory support.
