Tool Vending Machine Options from CribMaster

If you run the tool crib or supply room for your business, it's entirely possible you've run across some common problems. For instance, is it becoming increasingly hard to monitor and track your tools as the sheer numbers of items and employees using them have grown over the years? Or have issues such as employee hoarding or even theft caused serious snags in the otherwise smooth operation of your company? If you've run into these or other problems with your tool control system, a tool vending machine from CribMaster can help.


Our innovative tool vending machine options pair with our state-of-the-art tool control software to give you an all-in-one solution that is the most accurate, feature-rich option on the market. Never again worry about where your important tools are, or who was using them last. Here's a look at the functionality our products can offer you:

When an employee checks out a tool from a CribMaster point-of-use tool vending machine, he or she must scan a badge or enter an employee code. 

Once the tool is checked out from the tool dispenser, the employee becomes accountable for the tool, the cost centers you’ve defined account for expenses, and the tool tracking capabilities of our inventory control software track the time spent using the tool. 

The vending machine manages and logs each tool, and if there are missing items or items checked out for an extended period, the tool tracking software reports what is missing, for how long, and who is accountable. 

The system can also track consumable inventory, and the software has an extensive purchasing functionality that enables you to discover optimal order quantities with the help of a Gordon Graham inventory control calculation. Our software essentially acts as a completely automated supply chain management solution.

Tools disappearing for extended times? Important inventory items running out quicker than they should? Never worry about such problems again when you trust a tool vending machine from CribMaster. Our advanced solutions will give you an automated, robust method for tracking and controlling your tools and other inventory items that will help you save time, effort, and money.
