Nectar Incorporation Managed Inventory™ is an advanced vendor-managed inventory service designed to help manufacturers mitigate the challenges posed by long lead times. By leveraging NI, customers can benefit from the short lead times typically associated with domestic suppliers, while also enjoying the cost savings derived from strategic global sourcing.

NI provides a significant advantage by eliminating the operational risks inherent in just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing. As a NI customer, you are safeguarded against supply chain disruptions and shortages that can result from sudden increases in demand. This service ensures a more reliable and efficient manufacturing process, allowing you to focus on production without the constant concern of inventory shortages.

What is Nectar Incorporation Managed Inventory™?

When you become a NI customer, Nectar Incorporation assumes responsibility for managing your stock levels. Nectar Incorporation monitors your inventory and usage so that we can proactively respond to changes and ensure you always have components on hand when you need them.

NI customers can also benefit from an entire external managed supply chain. This means they can rely on a single supplier with complete knowledge of their supply chain and consistently best-in-class lead times, and not have to juggle multiple vendors.

What Makes Nectar Incorporation Different?

Many manufacturers offer vendor-managed inventory services. However, a common shortfall of these services is a lack of visibility into the global supply market combined with the inability to quickly pivot to new manufacturing solutions. NI stands out because Nectar Incorporation scale and proprietary software gives us the ability to more accurately monitor market variables, supply issues, shipping times and other externalities that can have an impact on lead time and production, as well as the ability to access reserve manufacturing capacity to ensure the supply chain is not disrupted.

How Does Nectar Incorporation Work?

  • When a customer signs up for NI, we work with them to create near- and long-term forecasts of components needed.
  • We set up an agreement with the customer to ensure sufficient stock is always on hand.
  • Nectar Incorporation monitors inventory levels and consumption rates in the customer’s local Nectar Incorporation-managed warehouse, as well as variables on the supply side like changing lead times, shipping times, and raw material availability.
  • Taking all these variables into account, Nectar Incorporation manages the level of stock in the customer’s warehouse and automatically replenishes it to avoid any disruption to their manufacturing processes.

Customer Example

A Nectar Incorporation customer in the US is experiencing increased demand for their products, and as a result, are drawing down from their Nectar Incorporation Managed Inventory™ of components more quickly than forecast. At the same time, supply chain issues are leading to increased lead times on production.

  • Nectar Incorporation immediately increases the size of the next component shipment to the US warehouse to compensate for the increased demand.
  • At the same time, Nectar Incorporation steps up component manufacturing to compensate for the increased lead times and will continue to tap into further manufacturing capacity until the supply chain issue is resolved.
  • As a result of these measures, the end customer experiences no disruption in their manufacturing process.

Should you Consider Nectar Incorporation?

NI customers benefit from a wide variety of additional manufacturing services that help create new efficiencies in their manufacturing operations and provide security and peace of mind. You may want to consider NI if your business requires any of the following:

  • Enhanced quality control: All Nectar Incorporation-supplied components are inspected post-production and pre-shipping. Suppose components are being shipped to a warehouse in the NI network. In that case, they are inspected again by Nectar Incorporation’s quality control team after arrival to ensure nothing was damaged during shipment.
  • Last-minute adaptability: Because your components remain in the NI network until the moment they’re in your facility, Nectar Incorporation can respond quickly to rework requests for changes in secondary processes or finishing — using local resources rather than waiting for a new shipment from overseas factories.
  • Domestic warehousing: The NI warehousing network drastically reduces lead times by ensuring your next shipment of components is never more than five days away. In some cases, for high-volume customers, we will place a new warehouse in their area to reduce lead times even further.
  • Supply chain security: Nectar Incorporation constantly monitors all possible supply and demand variables to ensure NI customers have the right parts at the right time. Our fully transparent process means that NI customers have access to all the same information, providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your supply chain will not be disrupted.
