What's VMI?

ISSCO VMI

Save Time & Money with Our Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Services

Our Vendor Managed Inventory solutions are designed with you in mind. Our goal is to work together to streamline your manufacturing processes. With our VMI services, together we’ll determine an agreed-upon amount of inventory to be stocked on location and at ISSCO. We are committed to ensuring our inventories are reflective of our customer’s historical annual usage. We even offer a Consignment VMI option, which means you pay for the product only after it has been used.

By eliminating the burden of purchasing fasteners on a daily basis and relying on ISSCO for your inventories, you in turn save money cutting less purchase orders, having routine stock-outs or shutdowns. You now have time to concentrate on greater, more progressive projects for your company.

Benefits of Our VMI Services:

  • Enhanced Delivery Performance ensures that your fastening needs are met on time, every time.
  • Consistent Product Flow so your industrial supply inventory stays consistent and fully stocked.
  • On-Site Storerooms to make it easy as possible for you to avoid fastening product stock-outs.
  • Point-of-Use Delivery so all the fastening products and supplies you need are stored at a convenient and consistent location.
  • High Service Levels to ensure the highest level of trust between our industrial suppliers and your inventory needs.
  • Decreased Carrying Costs so you can focus on improving other areas of your company.

From a home basement to a large facility in Lee's Summit, MO

ISSCO, Inc. was founded by our current CEO Joe L. Davis Jr. in the basement of his Independence home. Joe was in the fastener distribution business for years, but in 1974 he decided to open his own company.

Our product lines and inventory levels will continue to reflect our commitment to our customers throughout the Midwest. 40+ years later and we continue to build successful customer relationships with that same goal.

Where to Purchase Transportation Fasteners

Brown Plain Collages Facebook Post

For those in the transit and hauling industries, like heavy truck and trailer repair or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), fasteners need to be designed to precise specifications. When finding a distributor, companies need to understand that not all distributors offer the same service, options, and solutions. Here's a look at how ISSCO, INC, a Kansas City area based distirbutor has found decades of success within these industries. Not only does ISSCO assist with the rigorous fastener demands, but also our full range of services allows us to present customers with an entirely new degree of quality and performance.

As a leading fastener distributor, we’re able to develop custom fastener solutions for our customers. With automotive/transportation fasteners being such a specialized hub, ISSCO is evolving to meet the growing demands with innovative fastening solutions. As more people rely on mass transit or large trucks for their jobs, ISSCO is ready to provide you with a unique level of quality manufacturing and distributing services.
