Four capability pillars: paperless interaction, one continental distribution centre, vendor-managed inventory on FIFO standards across a 5,000+ SKU catalogue, and the usage-pattern intelligence that ties it all together. They're how we stock SMB clients — and how we deliver for the agencies those clients win.
Every interaction with Ennobin — intake forms, RFQ responses, contract documents, QA sign-offs, invoices, receivables — runs through a single signed, audit-trailed digital workflow. Procurement officers love it. So do auditors.
Supplier & buyer intake forms, NDAs, capability statements — all signed electronically, stored in a single record per engagement.
Subcontract agreements, statements of work, change orders, NDAs — DocuSign-grade signatures, versioned, time-stamped, agency-ready.
Inspection sign-offs, FAR clause documentation, CGP attestations, recall logs — every action against the contract is on file before the next step.
Electronic invoicing to agencies (and from suppliers), AR reconciliation, payment status visibility for both sides. No paper, no fax, no chasing.
Most VMI firms run a dozen warehouses and bill the complexity back to you. Ennobin runs one continental distribution centre — bonded, ITAR-segregated where it needs to be — and ships every order from there. Lower carrying cost, fewer parties, one performance liability.
Inbound from US and Canadian suppliers. Outbound to agencies, depots, bases, and SMB clients across both countries from a single pick-and-pack.
Customs-bonded segregation for cross-border defense and dual-use items. ITAR-controlled zone with restricted-access protocols and access logging.
Where it makes sense, we cross-dock directly from supplier to agency without touching the shelf. Cycle time drops, carrying cost falls to zero.
Recalls, returns, rework — handled under our prime, FAR 52.246 documented, with full chain-of-custody from agency back to supplier.
VMI is what we do. 5,000+ SKUs across six industries in active rotation. Industrial vending machines for high-turn safety stock, on-shelf replenishment for everything else, RFID-tracked consumption, automated reorder. We hold the inventory, you draw against it, we replenish before you notice — all on strict FIFO standards across every client and every SKU.
RFID-tagged consumables. PPE, safety stock, abrasives, fasteners — accessed by employee badge, consumption logged, restock triggered before depletion.
Mid-volume SKUs handled on a min/max threshold. Our system reads your activity report, generates replenishment orders, you confirm, we ship from the DC.
Strict first-in-first-out across the network. No expired stock, no obsolete inventory aging in a corner. Critical for pharma, F&B and dated industrial goods.
Where a contract demands sub-tier set-aside content, our VMI doubles as a compliant subcontracting flow — full audit trail back to the SMB supplier.
Every consumption event the VMI logs becomes signal. Over time we know your seasonality, your spike days, your slow lines, the SKUs you over-order, the ones you almost run out of. We tune replenishment cadence and PO sizing to what your operation actually does — not what your last forecast said it would.
Daily / weekly / seasonal patterns mined from your actual draw history. Anomalies flagged, forecasts updated, replenishment cadence re-optimized monthly.
Where data permits, ML-assisted forecast at SKU level. Better than the spreadsheet, better than the supplier rep guessing. Tied directly into PO sizing.
We buy when the commodity market is right for you, not when your reorder point happens to trigger. Bulk windows, MOQ optimization, freight-mode tradeoffs.
Quarterly performance review per client. What dropped, what climbed, what should be deprecated. Six-Sigma rigor, plain-English deliverable.
Ennobin scopes, prices, and executes any combination of these four pillars under a single prime contract. Most deployments are live within 90 days of award.
