Procurement and Vendor Managed Inventory

ALOM works in a collaborative effort based on forecasts to optimize the supply chain, using clients’ preselected suppliers or through ALOM’s own highly qualified vendors. Getting the right materials in on time, in the right location and keeping track of them is a necessity. In order to achieve this, ALOM works with high quality vendors, specifies the product and other requirements carefully, and keeps track of and expedites deliveries.
