VMI stands for Vendor Managed Inventory. The supplier monitors the customer's stock directly through tank data and plans replenishment before a shortage occurs.
How does VMI work in practice?
Level sensors measure the tank level and send this data via tank telemetry to a cloud platform such as SiteInfo. Based on historical consumption, the system automatically plans a delivery.
Benefits of VMI
- less administration and manual ordering
- no unexpected shortages or emergency deliveries
- optimised transport planning and lower costs
