8 Industrial Vending Machine Facts You Should Know

October 9, 2013


Industrial vending, dispensing, and customer managed inventory systems are becoming more and more important for organizations looking to do a better job at managing their inventory.

Industrial Vending Machines can help you lower and control costs, and also increase sales in some cases!

 

Here are 8 vending facts you should know:

1.Vending is a Key Sales Component

The system can payback itself in as little as three  months. With reduced operating costs and a dedicated customer base, your return on investment can take only a brief period of time.

 2. Vending can be Inexpensive

A complete vending solution costs as little as $100/month. This is much chepaer than hiring a dedicated in-house individual to manage item vending, Also, vending machines are more flexible to a wider range of working hours.

3. Vending can Easily Integrate With Other Systems

You can easily integrate vending with other systems. For example, Clear Spider offers Customer Managed Inventory and Vendor Managed Inventory solutions.

4. Vending Dispensers are Easy to Replenish

Avoid costly stock outs with automated order management. Clear Spider’s replenishment engine sends out alerts when inventory is running low and alerts the supplier. As a result, they know when to send over more product. 

5. Vending is Secure

Only users/employees with scan cards may take items from the dispenser. You can track who has taken what, how much, and when. This can reduce theft and wastage. 

6. Vending is Great for Items of All Costs

Whether it’s tool bits or equipment, you can keep track of it all.

7.Vending Can Track Inventory

Using serial and lot numbers, vending machines can help to provide accurate tracking of item sales and item usage within the company.

8. Vending Increases Productivity

These machines access to items during all active business hours, without requiring additional staff to regulate. As a result, worker and company productivity is increased as a whole.
