Vendor Managed Inventory
Companies using Bluestreakâ„¢ or Bright AMâ„¢ are themselves, vendors to other companies that need their part-processing services. Normally, when Part-processing is completed, the parts are shipped/delivered to the customer or are picked up by the customer. The Bluestreakâ„¢ Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) module is specifically for Bluestreakâ„¢ user companies that will be temporarily (either short term or long term) storing finished Parts at their facility until their customer is ready to take delivery of the Parts.
Selected customer Parts can be designated as VMI Parts in Bluestreak™, so that when a Bluestreak™ Work Order (WO) is completed for any of these VMI Parts that may be on the WO, either the full quantity or a selected subset of those VMI Parts, can be ‘added to your inventory’. All inventory transactions (pushed or pulled) are also logged in Bluestreak™ for a complete documented audit trail.
WO processing in Bluestreakâ„¢ follows all of the existing business rules as the WO can be designated complete via a WO shipper and then invoiced as normal. When your customer is ready for delivery of the completed VMI Parts, a BOL (Bill of Lading) can be generated in Bluestreakâ„¢ and the selected VMI inventory items/Parts can be added to the BOL; which serves as a shipping document for the included Parts.
A BOL is just another report in Bluestreak™, so it can be modified (or new BOL’s developed) to include the information you want to show your customer(s), and it will be ‘branded’ accordingly to match other customer-facing Bluestreak™ documents (company logo, name, address, certifications, etc.).
