That is why our distribution centers use modern, up-to-date software systems to coordinate and monitor the flow of incoming and outgoing materials. We want to ensure your order is available and delivered to the correct location. Viega has developed a three-stage control system in the logistics process to check every order in detail, for on-time delivery with no errors. 1. Picking Thanks to wireless technology the picker knows where the product is located. 2. Packing The delivery of all shipments is optimized where every package is scanned, weighed and labeled to identify the contents. 3. Shipping Every pallet is labeled with a unique barcode that stores shipping unit information. After the pallet weight is identified, the order is ready for shipment. 9

11 Your partner for the future Electronic business is our strength. The Viega Supply Chain concept depends on technology to provide excellent service and value to our customers. We have been utilizing e-business solutions more than 20 years and they have proven to be valuable tools for improving our business processes. We want to help your business succeed. EDI and VMI are essential tools we offer to help you develop efficient processes, improve your operations and be prepared for the future. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) As business continues to evolve, more and more companies are utilizing EDI to communicate with their business partners. Compared to paper-based order processing, computer-to-computer exchange is much more efficient and reduces the chance of human error. EDI allows for fast secure communication and makes order and delivery information quickly available within your system. It gives your company a competitive edge to master the challenges of the future. VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) VMI is a streamlined approach to inventory management and order fulfillment. Vendor Managed Inventory involves collaboration between suppliers and their customers to change the traditional ordering processes. By allowing Viega to manage your inventory levels, your employees are free to concentrate on growing your business. The VMI system increases speed and accuracy of your inventory management, so you never run out of the products you sell the most. Viega can customize a VMI package specifically for you. 11
