September 7, 2001 Edge Marketing & Procurement Group's (www.edge-group.com) Immediate Stock is an online virtual warehouse open 24 hours, seven days a week, comprising a database of each member's inventory.
Through the Immediate Stock program, members can purchase or request for quote products electronically from the inventories of other members for immediate delivery. This is designed for improved business and customer service with access to hard-to-find and discontinued items, and eliminates the problems or lost business stemming from long lead times and less-than-minimum requirement orders. Also, members can move slow- or non-moving inventory to eliminate unnecessary buildup and make space for more popular items.
