Vendor managed inventory

Vendor managed inventory for fasteners, fittings, shop hardware, and repeat-use parts.

Retmay VMI helps business buyers keep recurring hardware visible, stocked, and easier to reorder without rebuilding the same purchase list each cycle.

Program structure

Make recurring inventory easier to see, quote, and replenish.

A VMI conversation starts with the products your team already uses most often.

Stocked bins

Stocked bins

Organize fasteners, fittings, hose clamps, electrical items, abrasives, tools, and hardware by location or usage.

Replenishment reviews

Replenishment reviews

Use active catalog items, reorder patterns, and buyer notes to keep common parts from becoming emergencies.

Cleaner purchasing

Cleaner purchasing

Reduce duplicate part searches, one-off requests, and avoidable stockouts on repeat-use items.

How it starts

Retmay can start from a spreadsheet, sample parts, bins, or prior orders.

  1. Review current bins, purchase history, active items, preferred vendors, and critical part locations.
  2. Define minimums, labels, part descriptions, replenishment cadence, and quote/approval workflow.
  3. Keep the program current as parts change, items are added, or demand shifts.
