Inventory management solutions for PV manufacturers and solar project developers

Creating New Efficiencies Through Better Inventory Practices

Since 2005, Targray inventory management solutions have played an important role in the development of the global solar value chain, becoming a trusted source for some of the industry’s largest PV manufacturers, project developers and distributors. Ensuring product availability with the lowest logistics costs while maintaining the lowest attainable inventory level across the supply chain, our new and improved vendor-managed inventory (VMI) program helps solar manufacturers, project developers and EPCs achieve a sustainable increase in operational efficiency and profits.

About Our Solar VMI Program

Inventory management plays a critical part in determining the overall efficiency of solar manufacturing and EPC businesses. Not having materials and finished goods at the correct place and time creates avoidable risks and margin pressures. Targray Solar’s vendor-managed inventory program was created specifically to address these concerns by reducing storage and downtime costs.

Vendor-managed inventory creates new efficiencies by helping businesses procure materials at the right time, and from the right location.
