A number of manufacturing and construction companies have already benefited from the AutoCrib systems, by cutting down their costs without compromising on their performance. The tool vending machines and software offered can help you increase your return on investment (ROI) greatly.
1. The innovative software, which applies especially to the manufacturing and construction industries, allows you to set the access limits for each employee. The limits can be set on different spheres including tool and supply consumption, department and total cost per employee, among others. This will result in a sustainable use of resources, thus minimizingwastage of any assets. With the usage of every employee being tracked, the overall consumption is effectively minimized. 2. Switching to supplier consigned inventory and demand-based ordering will cut down your inventory by 20%. Most of the tool vending machines have consigned inventory, which is the responsibility of the supplier; hence, you are at the vantage point. 3. With industrial vending machines, your need for new items is reduced. You can use regrinds or reconditioned items to cut your costs on new tool purchases. 4. AutoCrib can minimize the use of obsolete inventory, cutting expenses due to malfunctions; the tool vending machines will deal out with the obsolete supplied first. 5. Supplier-consigned inventory option shifts the responsibility of your inventory to the supplier. The supplier tracks the inventory on a regular basis, cutting your inventory management costs significantly. 6. By tracking the use of different items in real time by AutoCrib system, you can rule out the possibility of stock-outs. The system parameters can be set to automatic reordering items, preventing revenue losses due to stock-out. 7. Since the tools can be automatically reordered, you do not have to prepare purchase orders manually. This reduces the paperwork and staff costs, and, in turn, increases your employees’ productivity. 8. AutoCrib software automates most of the tasks, reducing your staffing costs across the company.
