What is a VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) specialist?

VMI, or Vendor Managed Inventory, roles involve overseeing and managing a customer's inventory levels on behalf of a supplier or vendor. Professionals in these positions monitor stock, forecast demand, place replenishment orders, and ensure optimal inventory levels to prevent stockouts or overstock situations.
