Incoming Material Control
FMI will assist in getting your inbound materials to the plant in time
for production and inspected for quality. This may take the form of oversight,
complete responsibility or any step in between.
Direct Ship (Pick & Pack)
Many
marketers have highly customized fulfillment requirements for their
customers. This may involve repackaging several different products into
special kits, including “testers” or brochures, and consolidating
several products into one shipment to save freight costs. FMI has developed
proprietary systems for automating and handling these specific requirements
in a highly efficient and reliable manner.
Automated Shipment Tracking
FMI
customers get daily electronic feedback on orders delivered, freight costs,
tracking numbers and inventory status. Our sophisticated technology
simplifies the process and eliminates many areas that contribute to human
error. FMI makes the task of getting the right finished product to the right
customer at the right time and the right cost becomes much easier and more
reliable.
Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP)
FMI
is installing a major Enterprise Resource Planning software system that
provides the capability to integrate all of our customer’s supply chain
information in one integrated system. This means that it will be easy
to track and report on the status of all materials required to complete
your orders and deliver them to your customers. You can see at any time
exactly where your order and all of its parts are in the process.
Reduced Costs
FMI has
partnership arrangements with UPS World Shipping, FedEx and Freight Coordinators
Logistics that enable our customers to be assured of the best freight
rates available. This is possible because of the ability to integrate
our automation with our customer’s systems and the FMI philosophy of sharing
our volume discounts with our customers.
