Inventory management has never been easier for companies of all sizes to implement. Software solutions from 1sourcevend are simple and streamlined for plug-and-play usage in a variety of locations, even those without wi-fi access.
1sourcevend’s cloud-based software paired with our coil, locker and combination vending units to vend and manage a wide selection of products from gloves and drill bits to high-value items like respirators and saws. Our unique touchpad comes equipped with a Verizon card ready for immediate cellular use. This means that once installed, the touchpad searches for a cell signal, and automatically loads inventory data preconfigured onto the machine ready to be used. There’s no extra cost associated with this capability, either. It’s included in the price.
Unlike other providers, our software allows plug-and-play functionality from the start without having to be tied into an existing infrastructure. Information technology (IT) specialists appreciate the cellular connection because it removes security risks to the company’s internal system. After all, their job is to protect the company’s existing system and keep it running smoothly.
Our cellular connection offers improved security and speed of implementation, even without a wi-fi signal or hot spot. This is especially important when distributors consider offering vending to customers at government facilities or military bases with higher security requirements.
1sourcevend’s easy-to-use inventory control solutions boast these key features:
- Cloud capability/SaaS
- Flexible user permission and restriction settings
- Customizable inventory alerts
- Check-in/check-out capabilities
- Robust usage reporting
- Remote inventory level tracking
Distributors, both large and small, are realizing the many benefits of vendor managed inventory. Vending programs optimize end-user operations by eliminating the need for manual inventory counts and quotes and reducing inventory consumption by up to 30 percent or more.
Distributors can offer solutions that lower their customers’ carrying costs, reduce shrinkage, improve regulatory compliance and productivity — all the while improving the customer experience. By differentiating themselves from the competition with vending, distributors can improve customer stickiness, further safeguarding against competitor acquisition.
The cellular connection means that distributors and their customers can start to experience these benefits immediately.
