Vendor Managed Inventory
Realize the value of an optimal, accurate inventory and still maintain focus on your core business functions. Our specialists design custom inventory systems to suit your needs, consolidate and reorganize your inventory (with resources such as bins, labels, barcodes and scanners) and regularly review parts for reorder. Inventory reorganization, labeling and reductions are all performed at no cost and based on customer input (brand preferences, cost restrictions, storeroom floor space, inventory movement and turnover rates).
CAP utilizes an inventory management software and hardware platform to provide customers with additional control over their VMI. Seeing real-time, accurate parts information at the touch of a button increases efficiency and eliminates the risk of dead inventory and stock-outs. The ability to scan unique barcodes when searching for a specific part saves time and manpower.
Inventory management software enables you to easily:
- Eliminate material loss and rush orders due to stockouts
- Reduce time and expenses associated with inventory, paperwork and manpower
- Centralize and track inventory counts and see reports and dashboards
- Implement barcoding and tag assets to a specific job I.D. number
- Securely access the system from anywhere via a mobile application
INSTALLED BASE EVALUATION
Having detailed reports of your installed base and storeroom empowers you to make data-driven decisions for product migration, obsolescence planning, MRO and risk mitigation. With an installed base evaluation, you will gain visibility into your plant's critical assets and learn what parts are no longer installed or are installed with zero/insufficient spares. Seeing actionable insights on what equipment needs to be migrated, replaced or modernized can save you money on inventory taxes or costs associated with downtime. Our CAP team offers this service to help you solidify your spare parts management strategy.

On Site Storage Options
Job carts allow you to efficiently and securely store tools and supplies during the construction of your project. This staging product allows you to keep your products organized and safe from theft. Job carts increase productivity by minimizing the number of trips you need to take to your storage area. Carts can be delivered, replenished and returned as needed to meet your job requirements. With our mobile app, you can track and replenish your job cart stock in two simple steps.
Mobile trailers can be placed at your location to help reduce storeroom traffic during plant shutdowns. This helps to control your costs by providing materials directly to onsite contractors and gives you the ability to regulate employee access. It reduces your need for dedicated warehouse space with outside storage and eliminates damaged material and loss of product. McNaughton-McKay’s mobile storeroom management program eliminates the need for you to lease a container resulting in cost savings.
Automated industrial vending machines help you to implement inventory management efficiently and effectively across your entire company. Industrial vending machine systems provide point-of-use information for products. Employees have immediate access to products they need by simply entering their ID. Our Customer Alliance Program sets up and installs the industrial vending machine with the products you specify. Recordkeeping is done, inventory levels are tracked, recorded and reordered at intervals you select.
