Inventory is monitored automatically, stock levels are visible in real time, and replenishment happens before you run out. Say goodbye to traditional VMI and dumb bins and drawers.  We have launched a high-tech weight-based VMI system that will show you the exact inventory in every bin and compartment, down to a single piece.  Automatic re-orders, low stock notifications, 24/7 real-time access.  [![\
