Reduce Waste, Optimize Productivity, & Lower Costs

Marek’s Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) services transform traditionally inflated and wasteful inventory operations by designing and executing custom inventory management programs. The Marek Group produces and supplies parts to your manufacturing line(s) with maximum efficiency by employing automation and integration to gather real-time data that increases production accuracy, optimizes production runs, minimizes on-hand inventory, and maximizes your return on investment. 

With our proprietary software and other platform integrations, Marek uses real-time data from your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to monitor live production and identify demand trends.
