Case Study: nVent achieves optimized shipping, reduced product damage and 28% sales growth with TrueCommerce Datalliance VMI

nVent Optimizes Shipments, Increases Profits by Utilizing TrueCommerce Datalliance Vendor Managed Inventory Solution

nVent, a high-performance electrical manufacturing company, faced rising freight costs, product damage from half-empty shipments, and reactive distributor ordering. To optimize order processing and inventory control, nVent implemented the TrueCommerce Datalliance Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) platform to gain visibility into distributor inventory and create the right orders at the right time.

Using TrueCommerce Datalliance VMI, nVent automated replenishment, built fuller truckloads in seconds, and reduced freight- and damage-related losses. Post‑implementation analysis across 61 distributor locations showed out-of-stocks down 18%, item availability up 16%, and sales up 28%, with fewer returns and faster, more profitable shipments.
