“Like many other contractors, our inventory situation was getting out of control. Since we implemented Barnett’s VMI program, we have been able to focus on servicing customers rather than spending our time dealing with all of our many inventory issues. Barnett can even source our regional item needs. Plus, the fact that we can purchase our HVAC equipment from a single source has helped us get to where we need to be.”

Supply Chain SolutionsOption 2: Truck Stock ReplenishmentAre you carrying the right level of inventory on your trucks? Do your

techs still make too many stops at supply houses and home centers

to purchase products? Do you have the right product mix on your

trucks? Do you have an accurate record of daily product usage

from your trucks?

Barnett developed the Truck Stock

Replenishment program to increase

your productivity, decrease your

carrying costs, and save you

money. This program is designed

for contractors who do not need an

on-site representative, but would still

like to reap the benefits of better managed inventory.

Here’s how it works:

1. Your Barnett sales representative will conduct a needs

assessment to verify eligibility and ensure that Barnett’s Truck Stock

Replenishment program is a good fit with your business model.

2. Standard truck stock lists will be

created for each category of your

type of service vehicles. These lists

provide the foundation for truck bin

labels with Barnett part numbers

which will be created for placement

in each truck.

3. As your business technicians use inventory, they can manually

record or scan each of the items as they are used. At the end of

the day, the daily usage information is then provided and order

information is transmitted to Barnett for replenishment.

4. Once your usage amount has reached a predetermined point,

Barnett’s Truck Stock Replenishment program will automatically box

replenishment orders for your truck and consolidate the boxes for

your next scheduled delivery.

program for those with fewer than three trucks. Replenishment

inventory is received by the contractor and easily distributed

to each service technician. To learn more about this version of

Truck Stock Replenishment, please contact your local Barnett
