Scan the empty bin. That's it. Replenishment handled automatically from that point on.
Kinnarps — one of Europe’s largest office furniture manufacturers — was spending too much time and making too many errors managing C-parts replenishment manually. Stock counts, order placement, chasing deliveries — time-consuming tasks that added no value to the furniture they were building.
CSG — through the Bufab Group’s replenishment solutions — implemented EasyScan: a scan-based VMI system that integrates directly into Kinnarps’ production environment. The process is as simple as it sounds: when a bin runs low, a staff member scans the label. The order is placed automatically. Replenishment arrives on schedule. No spreadsheets, no calls, no errors.
The measurable impact was immediate. Time spent on manual ordering and stock counting dropped sharply. Supply chain errors — wrong parts, wrong quantities, missed orders — were virtually eliminated. And the production team reclaimed hours previously lost to replenishment administration.
EasyScan is available for furniture manufacturers and general manufacturers of any size. CSG configures the system to your bin locations, part volumes, and delivery schedule — so it runs quietly in the background while your team focuses on building.

Keeping High-Volume Production Stocked
High-volume production only works when the small parts show up in the right numbers, at the right line, every single time. Even a short shortage of fasteners or hardware turns into a costly stop. A managed C-parts setup pairs steady quality with a replenishment model, like vendor-managed inventory or scan-based restocking, and consolidated supply so the line keeps moving and buyers get their time back.
