Datalliance Presents Vendor Managed Inventory at the WIT Buying Group Meeting
CINCINNATI, OH, Apr 12, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Datalliance, the leading independent supplier of Vendor Managed
Inventory (VMI) services and WIT service partner, conducted a VMI
workshop for 120 purchasing agent executives at the WIT 2012
Distributor/Vendor Conference in Dallas, TX. Tom Hoar, Datalliance
Director of Sales Plumbing & HVAC, led the 2+ hour workshop, focused
on how VMI is currently helping industry leaders reduce stock-outs,
improve inventory turns and increase sales, specifically with WIT
members.
This workshop outlined how the VMI process changes the way
distributors and wholesalers conduct business with key manufacturers.
Attendees learned how this collaborative approach strengthens
business partnerships, improves supply chain efficiencies and truly
delivers financial value for both parties. Tom Hoar explained, "VMI
is rapidly expanding in the plumbing, heating and cooling segments
and there has been a growing level of interest with WIT members. WIT
members have shown a strong commitment to improving their supply
chain operations. The existing collaboration between WIT members
truly shows the level of trust and collaboration that provides a
foundation for VMI success."
The participation of WIT members Canplas, Consolidated Supply, MDM
Supply and Ward Manufacturing allowed other members to understand how
VMI can help them attain their business objectives. In addition to
Tom Hoar's VMI expertise, the session was supplemented by the VMI
experiences of Mike Gilroy (Canplas), Jeff Konen (Consolidated
Supply), Mike Larkey (MDM Supply) and Curtis Engel (Ward
Manufacturing).
Charlie Moorhead, WIT EVP and COO, said, "Vendor Managed Inventory is
a collaborative process that allows our members to profitably grow
their businesses. Datalliance is the leading provider of Vendor
Managed Inventory in the plumbing, heating and cooling industry and
they understand the business, operational and technical needs of our
WIT member base. We encourage WIT members to stay ahead of the
technology curve and take advantage of rapidly growing processes like
VMI. WIT already has quite a few member companies gaining financial
benefits from VMI and our members trust Datalliance and appreciate
the VMI expertise they bring to the table."
