Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) offers customers the ability to offload the management, replenishment, and delivery of materials to their jobsite, warehouse or factory to Mars Electric. VMI saves you time and labor.
Focus on the job, not the materials for the job
When you use VMI, your team can spend more time focusing on the job instead of checking inventory, shopping, negotiating, and coordinating multiple deliveries.
On your jobsite, at the warehouse or factory
VMI is available wherever you’re working. We offer different material handling options whatever your facility or job requires.
Dedicated VMI Specialists
A dedicated VMI specialist will become part of your team. Your specialist will manage inventory multiple times a week, help with material layout and shelving, and assist with any changes to your VMI.
Specially Designated VMI Delivery Trucks
Our fleet includes delivery trucks dedicated to VMI. These vehicles are driven by your VMI specialist. That means they’re familiar with the processes and layout of your VMI jobsite.
