Invendia Benefits

Invendia's suite of Web-based Inventory and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) solutions deliver exceptional business value while minimizing your information technology burden.

Manufacturers and distributors face escalating demands for speed and accuracy from their customers. In order to effectively and profitably deal with these demands, the members of supply networks - suppliers, distributors, carriers, and customers - must share information and manage exceptions with one another in ways that won't increase the information technology burden that they already face.

Enter Invendia. Invendia solutions are web-based and hosted, meaning that they can be easily and quickly deployed to help close the communication and visibility gap between you and your partners.

Using Invendia, our customers:

increase their visibility into the activities and capabilities of their trading partners
increase the value that they deliver to customers, strengthening their competitive position
reduce stock-outs, and
reduce administration time spent on activities such as order entry, order tracking, and returns,

all without installing any software or hardware. As a series of hosted, web-based solutions, Invendia is easy to deploy, easy to maintain, and easy to use.
