Vendor Managed Inventory for feed and fertilizers

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.
