Are Fastener Stock Issues Slowing Down Your Production?

🔹 Do you constantly run out of critical fasteners, causing costly production delays?
🔹 Or maybe you have too much inventory eating up cash and valuable floor space?


Managing fasteners shouldn’t be a guessing game. Yet, too many manufacturers struggle with stockouts, overordering, or spending too much time tracking inventory manually.

That’s where fastener vendor managed inventory (VMI) comes in. At Specialty Bolt & Screw, we take the hassle out of inventory management—ensuring you always have the right fasteners, in the right quantities, and in the right place, without the stress.

What is Fastener Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)?

VMI is a hands-off inventory solution where your fastener supplier (that’s us!) takes responsibility for monitoring, replenishing, and optimizing your stock levels. Instead of you guessing when to reorder or dealing with stock issues, we handle it for you.

✔️ Never run out of essential fasteners again
✔️ Free up cash tied in excess inventory
✔️ Streamline your operations with efficient storage solutions

With SBS’s tailored VMI solutions, we analyze your usage trends and create a system that ensures you always have what you need, when you need, and where you need them—without waste or overstock.

Are You Running Out of Fasteners? Here’s How We Fix It.

Stockouts can shut down production, delay shipments, and frustrate your team—all because a small, inexpensive fastener wasn’t available when you needed it.

 

How SBS Prevents Stockouts:

Automated inventory tracking – We use barcode scanning, RFID, and real-time reporting to monitor your stock levels.
Proactive replenishment – We refill your inventory before you run out, so you never have to pause production.
Usage-based adjustments – We track your demand fluctuations and adapt inventory levels accordingly.

Are You Carrying Too Much Inventory? We Can Fix That Too.

Excess inventory wastes money and valuable space—especially in high-volume manufacturing. If your shelves are overflowing with fasteners you don’t need, SBS can help you optimize stock levels to free up resources.                               

How SBS Eliminates Overstocking:

Data-driven inventory analysis – We assess your actual fastener usage to reduce excess stock while keeping essential parts available.
Just-in-time replenishment – We ensure your fasteners arrive exactly when you need them—not too early, not too late.
Customized storage solutions – From bin systems to vending machines, we organize inventory to maximize efficiency and minimize waste.
