Viega delivers excellence

1. PickingThanks to wireless technology the

picker knows where the product

is located.

2. PackingThe delivery of all shipments is

optimized where every package

is scanned, weighed and labeled

to identify the contents.

3. ShippingEvery pallet is labeled with a unique

barcode that stores shipping unit

information. After the pallet weight

is identified, the order is ready

for shipment.

Excellence through technologyThe Viega Supply Chain concept stands for high quality and zero errors. That is why our distribution centers use

modern, up-to-date software systems to coordinate and monitor the flow of incoming and outgoing materials.

We want to ensure your order is available and delivered to the correct location. Viega has developed a three-stage

control system in the logistics process to check every order in detail, for on-time delivery with no errors.

Viega e-Business

www.viega.com11

Your partner for the futureElectronic business is our strength. The Viega Supply Chain concept depends on technology to provide excellent

service and value to our customers. We have been utilizing e-Business solutions more than 20 years and they have

proven to be valuable tools for improving our business processes.

We want to help your business succeed. EDI and VMI are essential tools we offer to help you develop efficient

processes, improve your operations and be prepared for the future.

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

As business continues to evolve, more and more companies are utilizing EDI to communicate with their business

partners. Compared to paper-based order processing, computer-to-computer exchange is much more efficient and

reduces the chance of human error.

EDI allows for fast secure communication and makes order and delivery information quickly available within your

system. It gives your company a competitive edge to master the challenges of the future.

VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory)

VMI is a streamlined approach to inventory management and order fulfillment. Vendor Managed Inventory involves

collaboration between suppliers and their customers to change the traditional ordering processes. By allowing Viega

to manage your inventory levels, your employees are free to concentrate on growing your business.

The VMI system increases speed and accuracy of your inventory management, so you never run out of the products

you sell the most. Viega can customize a VMI package specifically for you.
