- Reordering that happens without a PO
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Services
Checking bins to confirm stock. Shelves full of parts nobody has touched in two years next to empty bins for the parts you use weekly. Production down over a $40 component. Purchasing writing the same order every week. If that describes your operation, you are paying for inventory management twice: once in carrying cost, and again in the hours your skilled people spend on it.
Keep Critical Material On Hand Without Overstocking
Fromm Vendor Managed Inventory automates and digitizes your storeroom. We combine a unified software and hardware platform with dedicated site supply specialists who work your facility on a set schedule. You get lower labor cost, right-sized inventory, reordering that happens without anyone touching a PO, and consumption data you can actually negotiate with.
We Audit It Before We Automate It
Software cannot fix a storeroom nobody has counted. Every Fromm VMI engagement starts with one of our site supply specialists on your floor, documenting what you actually stock.
From there we consolidate duplicate parts across manufacturers, cut redundant SKUs, establish accurate baseline levels, and organize and barcode the room. We can use your existing part numbers or convert to Fromm numbers for cleaner integration. If shelving needs to change, we handle that too.
For facilities, we review your plant assets so stocking reflects the equipment you are actually maintaining, not a list that was accurate six years ago.
The result is a storeroom where every part has a location, a label, and a min/max that reflects real consumption.
Software That Does the Reordering
Once the room is set, the reordering runs itself.
Our cloud-based portal puts inventory, vendors, pricing, and transaction history in one place, so your team stops assembling a picture from three systems and a spreadsheet. Stock levels update in real time. Orders generate from rules you set rather than from someone remembering.
Integrated Hardware
On the floor, we match the technology to the part. Barcoded labels and order buttons for general stock. RFID, weight-sensitive lockers, and smart shelving where you need automatic counts. Industrial vending for high-value or high-shrink items where controlled access pays for itself.
A Specialist On Site, On Schedule
A dedicated site supply specialist visits your facility on a schedule set to your usage, performs cycle counts, restocks against min/max levels, and flags what the data is telling you. Levels get adjusted as your production changes. New assets get added to the stocking plan. Dead stock gets identified.
