Inventory Management—from Procurement to Replenishment
Optimas vendor managed inventory solutions assist every part of the process – from procurement to replenishment.
How It Works
ORDER TRIGGERED
When the customer reorder point is reached, a signal is sent to Optimas from a variety of OptiTech VMI Solutions.
ORDER RECEIVED
Optimas Just-In-Time (JIT) System receives the signal and automatically creates a replenishment order.
ORDER SHIPPED
Optimas labels and packages the order following customer purchasing requirements and then consolidates and ships the order based on a pre-defined schedule.
PARTS DELIVERED
Optimas transports parts using Optimas trucks or common/contract carriers.
INVENTORY REPLENISHED
Either Optimas or the customer delivers parts from the dock to the customer’s designated area—supermarket, area racks or at the point of use.
PROGRAM AUDITED, MONITORED AND OPTIMIZED
To support continuous improvement, Optimas routinely audits bins for correct parts, intact labels, safety, accessibility and optimizes the stock quantities.
Demand Planning and Forecasting
To better serve you, we’ve invested in advanced vendor managed inventory technology that uses predictive analytics and machine learning to improve your forecast accuracy—even in times of market and supply chain volatility.

Service and Delivery Options
Which parts can we manage?
Armed with years of effective inventory management expertise, we’ll take over the management of your parts—whether the parts are sourced through Optimas, customer-directed or customer-owned.
Who orders and replenishes parts?
When you partner with Optimas, you’re free to select a full-service or self-managed program for your inventory management system. In our full-service program, Optimas delivers and fills the bins at a scheduled time, or has an onsite Optimas team member or in-plant store replenish the inventory. In our self-managed program, Optimas ships parts directly to your dock, and your staff fills the bins.
How are parts deployed?
Parts can be deployed to multiple areas within your plant to ensure maximum efficiency:
