Smart Supply, Stocked Right
How MOOS Enables Vendor-Managed Inventory
Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) isn’t just a supply chain buzzword—it’s a proven strategy for keeping the right products available at the right time, without burdening the end user with stock checks or reordering. Whether it’s technical parts on a factory floor or office supplies in a busy workplace, VMI helps vendors deliver better service and tighter inventory control, while customers enjoy uninterrupted access to what they need.
But traditional VMI systems often rely on dedicated cabinets, expensive infrastructure, or manual data collection. That’s where MOOS comes in.
With our retrofit-ready solution, MOOS transforms any existing cabinet, closet, or storage location into a smart, self-reporting inventory point. No need to replace what’s already working—just enhance it. Our compact IoT units quietly and reliably track usage, giving vendors real-time insight into stock levels, item movements, and refill needs.
This means faster replenishment, fewer stockouts, and better service—without adding complexity. And because MOOS doesn’t get in the way of users accessing supplies, it supports the VMI model without friction.
From Office Supplies to MRO: Real-World Efficiency Gains
MOOS is already making Vendor-Managed Inventory work better across industries:
Office Supplies: A regional supplier now manages stock at multiple client locations without daily checks. Cabinets with MOOS sensors signal when pens, toners, or notepads run low—no spreadsheets, no guesswork. Fewer urgent calls, fewer trips, and much less overstock.
Facility Management: Cleaning teams often found themselves over- or under-supplied. With MOOS, facility vendors get accurate usage data across sites, so they restock just what’s needed—improving planning and reducing waste. Clients benefit from consistent service levels, while vendors cut unnecessary logistics.
Technical Supplies & MRO: For a supplier of industrial parts and maintenance consumables, MOOS provided instant visibility into usage patterns across customer workshops. Replenishment routes were optimized, inventory errors dropped, and customer operations stayed uninterrupted—even during peak times.
Across the board, vendors report fewer manual checks, better planning, and smarter service routes. Clients appreciate fewer shortages, fewer delays, and less administrative overhead. Everyone wins.
