Inventory Management

Brightstar’s Inventory Management continuously adjusts inventory levels at the warehouse and in the channel to minimize capital cost while ensuring maximum stock availability. Sophisticated systems and human insights are required to make decisions based on the variability of supply, vendor lead-times, delivery performance and demand forecast variability.

Vendor Managed Inventory

Brightstar’s Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is an automated inventory allocation tool that determines replenishment quantities for the customer’s stores based on sales history, forecasts (channel and store level) and store stock on hand. The key benefit of this approach is increased inventory availability, drastically reducing the occurrence of stock-outs and thus, lost sales. In today’s hypercompetitive markets, operators simply cannot afford to lose a customer because of a seemingly mundane issue such as a stock-out.
