Nocturne enables a true buyer/supplier partnership, effectively matching inventory-stocking levels to actual manufacturing requirements.
Nocturne redefines the traditional buyer/supplier relationship. With Nocturne, responsibility for maintaining inventory levels shifts from the buyer to the supplier with full accountability.
With Nocturne and VMI, a buyer no longer "pulls" inventory from his suppliers with labor intensive and expensive purchase orders.
Inventory is automatically "pushed" to the buyer as suppliers check their buyer inventories online and respond according to pre-established inventory high and low stocking limits.
Utilizing Nocturne's unique inventory monitoring and limits setting capabilities, the buyer maintains control of the "push" by setting high and low quantity limits for each inventory item, and easily tracks the supplier's ability to maintain his inventories within the designated limits.
