KEY BENEFITS

Why Choose Consignment Inventory

It's cost effective, helps simplify your inventory management, and frees up your people to focus on other value-added processes, instead of making sure your warehouse is stocked. We've had customers fully eliminate their purchasing team and switch to consignment inventory as it manages itself. 

Inventory Setup

Inventory Setup

You and your sales team agree on pricing, volume, lumber grades, widths and lengths, and inventory levels of each item you need. The lumber is shipped to your warehouse.

How It works 2

Setup

As you use lumber, you'll report it to M&O. Once usage is reported, M&O begins to build the next truckload for your warehouse.

Inventory Replenishment

Inventory Replenishment

M&O proactively communicates with you to ensure necessary inventory levels are maintained at all times. After a truckload is built, the order is delivered to your warehouse.

Final Payment

M&O continually monitors and stocks your warehouse based on your usage history, current inventory levels, and projected needs.

TESTIMONIALS

What our customers say

“Consignment Inventory made things so much easier for us. I can trust that I have what I need in stock without the hassle of being a purchasing manager, and instead I focus on production management.”

“We wanted to figure out a way to lower our stock levels while still having everything we need for various projects. Consignment inventory did just that! Our inventory has never been managed better!”

“It’s hard when your inventory was managed through spreadsheets. We needed a new way to ensure our production team got what they needed but still keep our warehouse in check. Inventory Consignment saved the day for us.”

What are the costs associated with consignment inventory?

There is no start up fee or extra cost to getting set up. You simply pay for the material and you're good to go! 

Can I return excess inventory?

There's no need to return inventory, just hold onto it at no cost until you've used it up. We do our best to ensure your stock levels are at the amount you need so there's nothing extra sitting around when you don't need it.
