Vendor Managed Inventory That Reduces Cost, Saves Time, and Keeps Production Moving.
EPSI’s VMI program helps industrial finishers reduce procurement friction, eliminate stock outages, simplify inventory management, and free up internal resources. We work like an extension of your team to tailor inventory around your operation, so the products, services, and support you need are always within reach.
A Smarter Inventory Program for Industrial Finishing.
Today, many EPSI customers rely on our VMI program to create a more efficient procurement process — one that reduces total cost and creates measurable value. Our supply chain and logistics team helps map your existing processes, analyze work functions, and recommend improvements that support profitability.
With EPSI as your supplier, the products, services, and people you need are as close as our nearest branch. We tailor inventory to meet your requirements, and our expertise in storeroom and inventory management helps eliminate duplicate, excess, and obsolete products.
Unlike suppliers that simply take orders, EPSI works closely with your operation to solve specific inventory challenges. Our VMI program helps you focus on your competencies while reducing inventory levels, improving cash flow, and saving time.

- Free 3’ x 5’ shelf
