70 beds built in 3 hours!

Sleep in Heavenly Peace

On Saturday, May 14th, around 40 volunteers joined our Sleep in Heavenly Peace bed building event held at our Lee's Summit location. The event was co-hosted by ISSCO, BTM, and Twin Lakes Insurance Agency in Lee's Summit. Beginning the day with a coffee and breakfast food truck from our famous Nut & Bolt Blend roaster, Eleos Coffee, the group of volunteers began to work on building the 70 beds. Right at the three-hour mark, we wrapped up the last bed and loaded up each one. The next stop... the homes of the children around Kansas City in dire need of a safe and comfortable bed. Thank you doesn't begin to describe the appreciation and gratitude of those who volunteered their time and/or made a donation. We truly appreciate each of you. 

 

Rapid Fire Fridays... 2.0

Support us on the #FastenerBedChallenge

Screen Shot 2022 04 11 at 10.41.57 AM

We are weeks away from our 2nd bed building day, and we need your support! 

BTM Manufacturing, ISSCO INC, and Twin Lakes Insurance Agency are hosting a Sleep in Heavenly Peace "Bed Building Challenge" on MAY 14, 2022 in Lee's Summit, MO.  We are raising money to build beds for children around Kansas City. Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause!

All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Too many boys and girls go without a bed or even a pillow to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their happiness and their health. We are trying to make a small difference in the lives of these children.
With your help, we are setting a goal of $10,000. This will allow us to build 60 beds for children around the Kansas City area. Here are two ways to get involved: 
 
 
Please join us with any donation to help make this goal a reality!

What's a VMI?

VMI

According to CIPSVendor-managed inventory (VMI) is a supply chain agreement where the manufacturer or supplier takes control of the inventory management decisions for the seller or retailer. In supply terms this means the upstream agent is responsible for the inventory of the downstream agent. This type of agreement is also known as managed inventory, continuous replenishment program, or supplier-assisted inventory replenishment.

ISSCO, INC. offers VMI solutions customizable to fit the needs of each customer. Our goal is to work alongside you to streamline your manufacturing processes. With our VMI services, the customer determines an agreed-upon amount of inventory to be stocked on location and at ISSCO. We are committed to ensuring our inventories are reflective of the customer’s historical annual usage. We even take it a step further and offer a consignment VMI option, which allows you pay for the product after it has been used.
