How Distributors Use Consignment Inventory to Win Long Term

Episode 36 of Wholesale & Distribution digs into consignment inventory — where suppliers hold stock on distributor premises until sold. Lucas and Luna explore a real-world case: a mid-size industrial distributor that shifted core bearings to consignment, freeing $2.3 million in working capital and cutting stockouts by 40%. They dissect the supplier pushback, the legal mechanics, the data-sharing requirements, and why smaller players often wait too long to try it. The episode also contrasts consignment with traditional stocking and buy-sell models, and offers a practical framework for negotiating a consignment agreement. If your warehouse has products gathering dust that you paid for 90 days ago, this one is for you. #WholesaleAndDistribution #ConsignmentInventory #WorkingCapital #SupplyChainFinance #InventoryManagement #DistributorStrategy #SupplierRelationships #CashFlow #B2BTrade #ChannelPartners #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InventoryOptimization #StockoutReduction #IndustrialDistribution #LucasAndLuna #Episode36 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
