Stop managing recurring supplies the hard way.
Direct Company Supplies combines ongoing supply support with Inventiqo, our own VMI platform, to make recurring workplace inventory easier to see, manage and replenish.
Less checking. Less chasing. Less dependence on somebody remembering what is running low.
Inventiqo is included as part of the Direct Company Supplies VMI service for approved customer arrangements, with no separate software charge.
Everyday consumables can create a surprising amount of work.
The cost is not only the product. It is also the time spent checking, counting, ordering, following up and fixing shortages when the process breaks down.
Stockouts are discovered too late
A cupboard, storeroom or work area runs low and the problem only becomes visible when somebody needs the product.
Staff spend time checking consumables
People repeatedly count, check, message and chase routine stock instead of focusing on the work they were hired to do.
Reordering lives in someone’s memory
The process depends on one or two people remembering what is low, what was ordered and what still needs following up.
There is no clear inventory picture
Multiple storage points and recurring products make it difficult to see what is available, what is moving and what needs attention.
VMI turns that recurring task into a managed supply process.
Product supply + inventory visibility + ongoing management.
Instead of treating every shortage as another separate order, we create a structured supply relationship around the recurring products your workplace depends on.
We supply
The agreed workplace products your organisation uses regularly.
Inventiqo provides visibility
The digital layer supporting a clearer view of managed inventory and stock activity.
We stay involved
Direct Company Supplies helps manage the replenishment process instead of simply waiting for the next order.
A practical four-step VMI process.
We start with what you already use, not with a complicated software rollout.
We map what your workplace actually uses.
We identify the recurring products, locations and supply pain points that make sense to bring into the VMI arrangement.
We set practical stock expectations.
Together, we agree on the products to manage and the stock levels or replenishment approach that suits how your workplace operates.

What changes for your team?
The objective is simple: make recurring workplace supply easier to control and less demanding to administer.
Less time checking stock
Reduce the time your team spends checking shelves, cupboards and storerooms just to work out what needs attention.
Better visibility
Create a clearer view of the agreed products being managed, instead of relying on scattered notes, emails or memory.
More proactive replenishment
Use agreed stock levels and current inventory visibility to identify replenishment needs earlier.
Less administration
Move more of the repetitive day-to-day checking and replenishment coordination away from your internal team.
Clearer accountability
Give the supply process a defined structure so responsibilities and stock activity are easier to understand.
A supplier that stays involved
Direct Company Supplies remains part of the ongoing supply process rather than disappearing after each delivery.
The technology behind the service.
We built Inventiqo because proper VMI needs more than spreadsheets, memory and occasional stock checks.
Inventiqo gives the VMI relationship a structured digital foundation while Direct Company Supplies stays involved in the real-world supply process.
No separate software purchase.
For approved Direct Company Supplies VMI arrangements, Inventiqo is included as part of the service with no additional software charge.
