    Total control with PVMI

    Join some of the largest and fastest-growing technology companies that use DB Schenker to manage their global supply chains. 

    The traditional view of Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) solutions focuses on using VMI to keep inventory off the manufacturer’s books until it is needed for conversion to branded products based on customer orders. However, we have a broader view! Our Production Vendor Management Inventory (PVMI) ensures that your inventory is replenished at the right time.
