Enables continuous product replenishment

Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI):
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is a replenishment model in which a supplier is responsible for fulfillment against orders issued on behalf of the manufacturer and based on demand information.

During this process, all parties are guided by mutually agreed upon objectives for inventory levels, fill rates and transaction costs.

Typical VMI fulfillment process:
1. The manufacturer provides daily production material needs via     EDI to Makhulu's.
2. Makhulu's pulls the requested material from inventory and     coordinates delivery to the manufacturing facility.
3. Makhulu's sends transaction details and replenishment needs     via EDI to the vendor(s) on a daily basis.
4. The vendors analyze the information provided by Makhulu's to     fulfill purchase orders and maintain set inventory levels.
