Inventory that the DCV manages by maintaining, storing and distributing stock owned by ministry contract holders as per each request. Some ministries hold several contracts each with its own contact name. Please call our managed inventory staff for information at 250-952-4460.

What are the costs associated with Managed Inventory (MIU)?

There is no cost to the individual customer ordering and receiving managed stock. The ministry who owns the stock pays for this service. Costs associated with the storage, maintenance, and distribution of each contract holder’s inventory can be found on a Service Rate Sheet. This rate sheet will also breakdown any additional costs related to inventory needs and stock owner special requests. To get a copy of your Service Rate Sheet, please call our office at (250) 952-4460.

How do we keep track of MIU stock (back orders)?

We send the Ministry contact (MIU stock owner) a stock status report, generated by our inventory management system once a month (or upon request) which states how much stock they have available. If a stocked item is on back order it’s up to the stock owner to send the warehouse more stock. Once the stock is replenished our warehouse will then distribute it out to any orders that were on back order.
