Inventory Management

The availability of flour is subject to finite supply and an ever-changing annual cycle of market and production challenges. Unforeseen circumstances can arise at any time, jeopardizing a business’s ability to maximize production runs or maintain proper inventory levels. Relying solely on a made-to-order purchasing model increases the risk of production shutdowns, while holding excess inventory can be costly and tie up valuable cash flow.

US FLOUR addresses these challenges by maintaining inventory in strategically located terminals across the country. We keep surplus, customer-specific inventory on hand, and our asset management system automatically replenishes stock as levels run low. Flour is billed upon delivery—not at the time of order—so our inventory costs never become your inventory costs.

This inventory model also allows us to leverage shorter trucking routes. With nearby, ready-to-ship inventory available at all times—including for urgent needs—delivery times are reduced, freight costs are minimized, and the resulting savings are passed directly to our customers in the form of lower purchase prices.

In many cases, flour can be ordered and delivered the same day.

US FLOUR understands that downtime can be catastrophic. That’s why we have safeguards in place to ensure backup supply is available for expedited delivery during shortages or emergency situations.
