Both Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and Software as a Service (SaaS) have existed for many years, but how does this approach to VMI differ from a locally hosted solution? Get the answer right here.

Trust. It is probably the single most important aspect of any Vendor Managed Inventory solution. Handing over the responsibility of your inventory to a business partner requires a lot of it.

VMI in a digital age

Since 1991, TrueCommerce Datalliance has connected suppliers with buyers through VMI-solutions, and in 1995 they began offering it as “Software as a Service”.

As a pioneer in this field and with almost 25 years of experience, TrueCommerce Datalliance knows just about everything related to VMI and SaaS. And according to David Hall, Analytics Project Manager, the core aspect of VMI remains the same regardless of the technology.

»Any time you enter into a VMI-relationship, building that relationship on trust is very important. And adding a third party, a VMI-provider, can help as well as harm,« he says.

It’s clear that choosing a SaaS-solution doesn’t change the fundamental premise of trust. There are, however, some clear benefits to the SaaS approach.

VMI is just one empowering service that airlines and MROs can employ to increase efficiency – explore more services here.
