Input Menu

Manage Product Information in the VMI System

The Input Menu is a key part of the VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) system, designed to allow suppliers to independently manage product-related data with Villa Market. This includes operations such as new product submission, price adjustments, promotions, notifying out-of-stock items, and product cancellations.

This module enhances efficiency, transparency, and reduces the reliance on physical documents or email communication between suppliers and Villa Market.
