Consignment Inventory
Clear Spider gives visibility to both parties so you can effectively manage consignment inventory.
What is Consignment Inventory?
Consignment is inventory that is owned by the supplier, but is in the possession of the customer. The customer stores the supplier’s stock in their inventory, but does not purchase the stock until they consume or sell it. Customers can use or sell their suppliers’ stock directly from their warehouse.
Why Use Consignment Inventory?
As a supplier, using consignment inventory management saves you the cost of stocking your inventory. As a customer, you will not need to tie up your cash in your inventory since you will be purchasing stock as you consume it.
