The rise of omnichannel retail, has elevated buyers’ expectations of when and how they receive their purchases. This shift has caused supply chains without visibility into how their inventory is being managed to fall behind. To deliver a competitive purchasing experience, supply chain partners need to collaborate in new ways. That means getting more connected, more supported and more prepared for what’s next—with vendor managed inventory (VMI) and collaborative replenishment. These “win-win” supply chain methodologies enable trading partners to easily share inventory data to create a lean, demand-driven supply chain. This allows you to expedite order forecasting, optimize shipments and improve in-stock rates. TrueCommerce Datalliance VMI and collaborative replenishment are highly effective for any product mix, can support any replenishment model, and scale to any number of locations. Cloud-based implementation reduces setup time and costs to accelerate time-to-value.
