The traditional approach to inventory management has been to view inventory within the four walls of an organization. Due to expanding markets and warehouses, along with manufacturers and distributors in different parts of the world, managing inventory beyond the four walls has become essential in business.

Customer Managed Inventory (CMI) is a business model that allows organizations to: access, control and replenish inventory from their manufacturers or suppliers. The benefits associated with CMI have given organizations a clear, completive edge in attaining and retaining customers, as well as cut operating costs significantly.
