Xemelgo worked with Hisco to modernize their approach to vendor managed inventory. By adopting Xemelgo’s RFID VMI Inventory Management solution, Hisco eliminated the manual overhead of traditional inventory systems. The solution provides real-time visibility across customer sites and internal operations, empowering teams to automate cycle counts, prevent stockouts, and ensure timely replenishment. With Xemelgo, Hisco gains the efficiency and insight needed to deliver exceptional service while scaling with confidence.
Hisco is a recognized leader in supply chain and specialty distribution solutions, serving a diverse range of industries including aerospace and defense, medical, electronic assembly, and industrial manufacturing. With a strong emphasis on delivering quality products and process-driven cost savings, Hisco supports its customers through tailored solutions that enhance operational efficiency and productivity. The company’s capabilities extend to cold storage warehousing and comprehensive vendor managed inventory services, enabling end-to-end logistics support and sustained value across complex supply chains.
To scale their VMI services and streamline operations, Hisco needed to overcome several key inventory challenges:
-
Labor-Intensive Inventory Management
Assessing inventory levels at customer sites required on-site visits, planning, and manual cycle counts—making the process time-consuming and difficult to scale. -
Limited Visibility into Inventory Usage and Expiry
Without real-time insight into consumption trends or expiring materials, Hisco struggled with product shortages, missed production cycles, and reactive replenishment. -
Inefficient and Error-Prone Processes
Manually updating internal systems for billing and managing limited stockroom space led to operational inefficiencies and increased risk of human error.
