WebConcepts’ revolutionary Demand-Driven Vendor Managed Inventory solution, eVMI, allows manufacturers and distributors to plan production and shipments according to actual customer demand. eVMI is the only browser-based VMI solution designed to support the full product lifecycle - from initial shipment, to retailer change-outs and resets, special promotions and daily replenishment.

eVMI provides state-of-the-art category management capabilities, integrating plan-o-grams and store traits with exceptionally robust replenishment formulas applied at any level of detail. You now have the power to effectively manage your products’ performance down to the retail shelf level. There is no other solution on the market that gives you such control.

Returns can be targeted as precisely as orders while item, store, DC and retailer constraints help to manage your shipping costs and open-to-buy targets. Comparable products can be used to create new item forecasts based on user-defined decay curves and apply them to replenishment planning prior to release. Initial ship quantities can be allocated to specific stores based on historic sales.

The eVMI Advantage

By providing solutions that address the three key VMI challenges and delivering them in a fully integrated system, eVMI gives you unrivaled control and visibility to your replenishment stream. You now have the power to successfully manage the last 100 feet of the supply chain and “Win at the shelf.”

No other VMI application gives shelf-level visibility to every item, at every store. One fully integrated, web-based system brings the entire supply chain onto users’ desktops, combining plan-o-grams, EDI and on-hands, initial shipments, replenishment and returns. By getting the right quantities to stores only when they’re needed, eVMI reduces returns while increasing turn-rates and minimizing shipping costs. Managing store resets is greatly simplified as eVMI already has all the information it needs to guide the process, and can readily generate special “to/from” labels to direct the work on the sales floor.

eVMI is designed to be efficient, flexible, easily configurable and ready for the future. When your customers are ready for shelf-level RFID, eVMI is the only system that will be able to make this an integral part of replenishment - and it is ready now.
