Suppliers & Sales

Stop losing deals to suppliers who already offer VMI.

Your customers want guaranteed material availability without the admin burden. Kanban.Now lets your sales team offer vendor managed inventory without building your own platform, so you compete on service, not just price.

The challenge

What Suppliers & Sales teams deal with every day

01

You find out about a reorder when it is already urgent.

A customer calls because stock is running low, or because it already ran out. By the time the order reaches you, the situation is a problem you have to solve, not a signal you saw coming.

02

VMI is easy to promise, hard to deliver without the right tools.

Offering vendor managed inventory means promising real-time visibility into your customer's stock levels. Without a shared platform, that visibility depends on spreadsheets and manual updates that are always one step behind.

03

Order admin competes with account growth.

The time your account managers spend processing reorders and chasing confirmations is time they are not spending on the relationship, the upsell, or the next opportunity.

The results

What Kanban.Now delivers for Suppliers & Sales

See your customer's stock before they call.

Real-time visibility into every customer's consumption points means you know what is running low before the phone rings, so replenishment becomes proactive, not reactive.

Offer VMI as a service, without building the platform.

Kanban.Now gives you everything you need to run vendor managed inventory and consignment programs for your customers, without a software development project on your side.

Replenishment signals arrive automatically, ready to fulfil.

Consumption-based replenishment signals are routed to you via EDI or directly into your system the moment a threshold is reached, with no manual order entry and no missed requests.

Field teams manage kanban runs from a phone.

Account managers and field service reps use the Kanban.Now mobile app to walk customer sites, confirm stock levels, and close out kanban runs on the spot, fully logged with no paperwork.
