“We have been using V-Net for over 10 years, having pioneered the solution in the Home Entertainment Business. The “first to market” with VMI gave Fox a considerable competitive advantage. We still see tremendous benefits with V-Net in dealing with our retail customers, and with the increase in complexity in the DVD / BluRay market, V-net is moving with Fox in tackling the issues that we face, more as a partner, rather than just a provider of a VMI system. We still see competitive advantages now and look forward to using V-Net as a solution for our customers in selling DVD’s & BluRay in the years to come.”

"The introduction of the V-Net VMI service model had an immediate positive result on the sales of our product lines. For the 1st 11 weeks of operation, we achieved a 21% increase on sales where there was no promotional activity, versus the same period last year in which there was plenty. More importantly by having the right stock in the right stores, our sales are spread across the range, instead of on a handful of promotional lines only. Our in stock position was also improved from 70% LY to 97.5% during the trial period, and the V-Net system has improved our ability to forecast further in advance. Overall, a truly amazing result. We look forward to a long term strategic partnership with the V-Net team."

The key benefits being a significant increase in the sales of our Co-Managed Inventory retail partners without increasing the inventory position at store level. The outcome being significant, long term improvements in the stock turns within these retailers.”

“Paramount is committed to meeting and exceeding the expectations of our customers. Managing stock levels effectively – easily one of the biggest retailer cost centres – is right at the top of that list. The team at V-Net provides us with the systems and human intelligence to do so.”

“V-Net has become one of our most valued and strategic service providers. They have allowed Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to deploy a very operationally efficient VMI business model. The V-Net people who work on-site have become key stakeholders within the inventory management process. The key financial benefits of the V-Net solution have been the maintenance of above average stock turns and a reduction in our return rates with our VMI retailers. The implementation of the V-Net benchmarking and forecasting models ensures we have the correct mix of stock allocated to each retail outlet. This has led to improved consumer sell through by having the right stock in the right store at the right time.”

“Being a specialist supplier of DVD to the market often meant retailers could not dedicate the time required to identify their replenishment needs for our products. The V-Net solution has allowed Visual Entertainment Group to provide retailers with our inventory recommendations on a more frequent basis. The outcome has been a significant increase in sales for us and the retailer, along with considerable improvement in stock turns for our retail customers."

"The V-Net business model has allowed Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment to deploy a very operationally efficient VMI strategy. The key benefits of the V-Net relationship are the passion and commitment of their staff that have become an integral part of the Disney sales and operations team. The key outcome of our partnership with V-Net Solutions is the significant improvement in the stock turns of our products at store level resulting in ongoing growth in key accounts through a combination of V-Net's analytics and the "one team" approach from both businesses."
