VMI with ERP integration eliminated manual ordering and production stoppages — completely hands-off
A major European electronics contract manufacturer — one of the largest EMS providers on the continent — was losing time and risking production continuity through manual C-parts management. Hundreds of small components tracked by hand, occasional stock-outs causing production pauses, and staff spending hours on replenishment tasks that should be automated.
CSG — through the Bufab Group’s VMI capabilities — designed and implemented a tailored solution combining mobile scan-based inventory management with full EDI integration between both companies’ ERP systems. The result: a fully automated replenishment loop that requires zero manual input from the customer’s team.
Parts are available at the point of use, when needed, without anyone needing to check stock or place an order. When inventory drops to a trigger level, the system handles everything — automatically and accurately.
CSG brings this same VMI approach to manufacturers of all sizes. Whether you need a basic scan-to-order setup or a full ERP-integrated solution, we design the system around your workflow — not the other way around.
"A reliable and proactive partner. Their simple, well-integrated solution saves us time, eliminates manual work, and gives us the strong local support we value."— Tactical Buyer, Global Electronics Manufacturer

Building Supply Resilience for the Parts Everyone Forgets
When supply gets shaky, it tends to be the low-value C-parts that trip you up, because nobody watches them until a line stops. Staying resilient means spreading and consolidating where you buy, sizing buffer stock to real demand, using a replenishment model that heads off stockouts, and having a partner who can move fast when a spec changes or a substitute is needed.
