See if vendor managed inventory is a fit for your hardware.
Answer a few quick questions about how your team buys and stores recurring fasteners, fittings, and shop supplies. Retmay will review your answers and suggest a practical vendor managed inventory plan — or a simpler first step if VMI is not the right fit yet.
Why it matters
VMI pays off when the same parts are used over and over.
Vendor managed inventory works best when a team repeatedly uses the same fasteners, fittings, hose clamps, abrasives, or shop supplies, and when running out of those parts interrupts real work. The checklist below covers the signals that usually point to a good VMI fit.

VMI readiness FAQs
Do I need to know my exact item count?
No. An estimate is fine. The checklist is meant to start a conversation, not to be precise.
Does VMI replace quoting?
No. Retmay can still quote items and quantities; VMI simply makes recurring replenishment more organized.
