Customer Consignment
Customers scan, count and report consumption, and your QAD updates live.
Consignment (CMI – Customer Managed Inventory) is a business arrangement where distributors stock and manage inventory at a customer’s premises, such as a warehouse or jobsite. The customer only pays for the inventory once it is used or sold. This strategy can be highly profitable when paired with effective consignment tracking. By having products readily available at the customer’s location, distributors can expedite sales and increase customer satisfaction.
To maximize these benefits, distributors must carefully manage inventory levels. It is crucial to avoid excessive stock that remains unused, while establishing clear reorder points ensures customers don’t experience stockouts.
