Managed Inventory Services
Stock efficiency and consumption reduction.
With the Buck & Hickman Managed Inventory Service, we help you reduce the time and cost associated with the control and replenishment of fast moving industrial consumables.
We provide a fully managed service from installation of a simple barcode driven stock system to ongoing checking and replenishment of stock in central stores or multiple lineside/satellite locations.
Using our stock management expertise, we work with you to select the right products, stock levels and storage layout.
We visit at regular intervals to check stock levels and scan item barcodes to trigger replenishment orders. Your local branch receives and checks ordered items before replenishing the storage bins on your site.
