Vendor Managed Inventory, Standard Plumbing Supply in Salt Lake puts a small, staffed supply house right inside your shop. They stock common parts, from small consumables like glue, pipe dope, etc, to water heaters and AC units, and manage the inventory for the customer.

That looks interesting, just not sure about how that can work.

I tried convincing my wholesaler to do a "vending machine" type of small store for weekends and evenings. Typical parts, it would have cameras, and a passcode for security. Not for all, but for those who qualify. They are apparently ruminating on it... its been a year.
