CINCINNATI, OH--(Marketwire - August 3, 2010) - Datalliance today announced that Max Buchanan, Datalliance Industry Director - Heavy Duty & Automotive, will present Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) in the Best Practices segment of this year's HDA International Meeting to be held August 11-15, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Attendees at this session will learn how VMI works and see examples of how leading Heavy Duty suppliers and distributors are realizing the business benefits of VMI today.
