In livestock farming it is essential to have balanced animal feeds in stock in the right quantities. With SilFit, our innovative tool for Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and Transport planning, Nijhof-Wassink is organising the logistics and stock management of animal feeds. We do this for (animal feed) producers, wholesalers and livestock farmers. By optimising the supply chain, from factory to farmyard, Nijhof-Wassink contributes to healthy business operations and to healthy animals.
SilFit, a 100% subsidiary of Nijhof-Wassink, developed for monitoring inventory of bulk goods in silos a fully automated silo content measuring system. Proven technology, based on Siemens measurement and communication equipment, determines real-time the level of dry and liquid bulk goods in the silo. Through an online portal you always have insight into your own and your customers actual stock levels: per company, per silo and per type of product. With this information you can easily adjust your production planning to the actual demand. The supply interval can also be optimised and rush orders can be prevented.
When the stock level reaches a predetermined tipping point, then you will automatically be notified by e-mail or text message. It is also possible to automatically generate orders. For the producer SilFit VMI ensures more transparency in the order flow and an optimal production planning. The farmer is offered a total piece of mind and always has sufficient feed in stock.
