Vending Software
We supply the tooling. The software keeps you cutting.
Every insert, drill, and fastener you dispense flows into one dashboard — track tool usage and tool life, and let purchasing, operations, and finance work from the same live data.
- Real-time tool usage & tool-life data by machine and operator
- Automatic reordering with configurable min/max thresholds
- 100+ built-in reports for cost, consumption, and compliance
- ERP & purchasing integration (SAP, Oracle, and more)
- Granular access control by user, role, and job number
“HiveAutoSupply now stocks our machines with everything from carbide inserts to bolts, and tool consumption dropped 38% in the first year. The auto-reordering alone paid for the system — our crews never run out, and we stopped over-ordering.”
