How To Stay Focused On Your Production With Vendor Inventory Management

Missing inventory is often the culprit of production halts, causing the cost of downtime to pile up. Without a reliable vendor service to maintain a consistent supply, it’s all too easy to run out of essential items without knowing. When you partner with our team at Hy-Lok Canada, the restocking process is easily simplified.

For over 40 years, Hy-Lok has been a leading provider of fittings, valves, and other components for fluid and control systems. If you’re running low on essential parts for your worksite, our catalogue has everything from tube fittings to quick connectors. Keep reading to learn step by step how we can keep your production running smoothly with vendor-managed inventory!

Step 1: Where Are Your Inventory Pain Points

Maintaining your inventory of all the necessary fittings presents many common pain points for facilities. These are some examples:

  • Continuously having a shortage of fittings or valves
  • The time it takes to manually calculate what you need to order and keep track of when they need to be replaced.
  • The costs of last-minute suppliers and emergency shipment

Each of these pain points adds to the downtime, which increases your costs. At Hy-Lok, you’ll find a wide range of fittings, valves, and components for your fluid and control systems.

Step 2: Make the Transition To Vendor Managed Inventory

Hy-Lok Canada offers remote and on-site vendor-managed inventory for customers who require a large stock of fittings, valves, and connectors for their operations. Instead of hiring an inventory controller for your worksite, you can rely on our team to handle everything, from order refills to sending the bill.

If your workplace is located in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Ontario, we offer in-person restocks for select towns and cities. Contact us to learn if you are within our service region. If your worksite is outside our service area, you can still get the same full service by ordering your supplies online.

We provide our inventory management services coast to coast, no matter the size or location of your workplace. All of our products are 100% factory tested and compatible with other manufacturers, like Swagelok, for seamless installation and operation. We guarantee a hassle-free system that gets you the parts you need when you need them!

Step 3: Keep Production The Priority

Introducing vendor-managed inventory to your manufacturing facilities frees your team and your costs from the headaches of inventory management. Hy-Lok ensures you’ll have a continuous supply chain with tested and reliable components. You’ll reduce your downtime, lower the cost for any emergency orders, and have the ability to redirect inventory management labour to production time.

With Hy-Lok vendor-managed inventory, you’ll have experts customize stock levels, create a regular delivery schedule, and record each fitting type your facility needs. We track each element to ensure an easier process for you.
