Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Vending Machines:
What Are Industrial Vending Machines?
Industrial vending machines operate similarly to regular vending machines. Employees gain access with a card, code, biometrics or any method you choose to dispense the tool or item they need. The machine tracks every usage and organizes that data to help you find ways to improve your workplace efficiency, such as identifying optimal times to repair and restock their contents. These processes can be fully automated to prevent shortages and losses ahead of time.
What can I stock a vending inventory machine with?
These machines can be filled with just about anything and are always ready to go. Different types of machines can be linked and operated from a single terminal, allowing different types of items to be stored and managed together.
