Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When vendors ship directly to stores, it is called vendor-managed inventory (VMI). This allows the vendors to monitor and control the inventory levels in the stores, reducing the need for Best Buy to manage inventory levels themselves. This can lead to improved efficiency and lower costs for both Best Buy and their vendors.
