Vendor Managed Inventory

Carrying inventory can be a costly proposition for any business. MacDonald & Owen’s Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) program ensures you have the lumber you need when you need it without having to carry the extra inventory.

Benefits of the Program

Inventory remains stocked to appropriate levels.
Carrying less inventory improves cash flow.
Pricing is fixed for product cost consistency.

A designated MacDonald & Owen employee monitors your usage through our proprietary software (MacTrac). This allows MacDonald & Owen staff to anticipate your upcoming needs according to your stock level requirements and your historical usage.

Let MacDonald & Owen help you simplify your inventory management with our highly successful VMI program.

“Since its inception this program has been a big benefit for our company, and for me personally as the purchasing manager. From day one, no matter which person I was working with the service has been top notch. I was actually apprehensive about starting this in the beginning, simply because I was unfamiliar with them; I’m glad I did it!!”
