High-density carousel dispensing — more SKUs, less floor space, total item control.
Rotopoint's rotating drum design delivers up to 702 individually controlled compartments in a single machine — one of the most space-efficient ways to dispense high-volume consumables at the point of work. From PPE and MRO to cutting tool consumables, every item is dispensed to a named user, every transaction is logged automatically, and stock is replenished through your contracted supplier before it runs out.
Standalone or Add-on
Can be utilized as a standalone solution or incorporated as an add–on (no controller) frame. Each standalone can support up to 9 connected add-on frames, providing a max capacity of up to 7020 individual locations.
Three Models
Available in three standard models of 5, 7 or 13 hatches/shelves.
Configurable
Each individual compartment can be divided into 2 or 3 separate sections to support an array of product sizes.
Control
VendTel software can manage access to provide individual item level control if required.
The Problem It Solves
Rotopoint replaces low-density, untracked storage with a single rotating drum that brings the item to the user — combining the highest compartment count in the SupplyPoint carousel range with full accountability for every transaction.

Without RotoPoint
- High-volume consumables stored in open bins or shelving — no tracking of who takes what
- Manual counting and reordering, with stockouts discovered only once it's too late
- No record of who accessed calibrated equipment, gauges, or other high-value assets
- Floor space consumed by low-density storage for high-volume items
With RotoPoint
- Compartment-level control — every item dispensed to a named user, every time
- Automated reorder before stock runs out, based on real usage
- Secure single-compartment return for calibrated equipment and high-value assets
- Maximum compartment density per unit — more SKUs in less floor space

Rotopoint is SupplyPoint's highest-capacity carousel dispensing system — an innovative rotating drum design that brings the item you need to you, rather than requiring you to search a fixed layout. With up to 702 individually controlled compartments in a single frame, and configurable column widths across up to three different compartment sizes per machine, Rotopoint is built for high-volume, relatively uniform items — PPE, MRO consumables, and cutting tool consumables — where density and simple, secure access matter most. Rotopoint can run as a standalone machine, an add-on frame to an existing SupplyPoint installation, or as part of a multi-unit system (up to 10 units, 7,020 locations) on a single computer. It runs on VendTel (touchscreen dispensing), WebSync (cloud management and reorder), and SupplyPointiQ (analytics).
The Dispensing Workflow
From authentication to automated replenishment — in seconds.
RFID card, PIN, or barcode scan. VendTel identifies the worker and applies their access profile — role, department, and quantity limits.
The carousel rotates to the correct compartment. The worker takes their item. The compartment door locks again. Multiple compartments can be selected in a single transaction, minimising time spent managing large volumes of stock.
Every issue is logged to a named user, item, quantity, and timestamp — automatically sent to WebSync. No paper, no manual count, no off-record consumption.
For calibrated equipment, gauges, and other high-value assets, Rotopoint supports secure single-compartment return, controlling exactly where an item goes back to.
When stock in any compartment reaches its reorder point, WebSync triggers a replenishment order to your designated contracted supplier — automatically.

FAQs
Questions, Answered.
Is Rotopoint just a vending machine?
No — Rotopoint pairs high-density dispensing hardware with the full VendTel / WebSync / SupplyPointiQ platform, giving item-level control, automated replenishment, and consumption analytics, not just point-of-use dispensing.
How does it integrate with our existing systems?
Rotopoint integrates into any existing SupplyPoint installation with differing hardware types (minimum version required: 4.2.5.20), so it can be managed alongside existing units from one account.
What kind of hardware is available?
Rotopoint is available in 9 variations, with 5, 7, or 13 levels and up to 54 columns, offering up to 702 compartments in a single unit.
How quickly will we see a return?
Returns come from reduced consumption, eliminated stockouts, and less staff time spent searching for or reordering items — a typical customer experience results in consumption reduction of ~30% compared against uncontrolled access to similar items.
How many compartments does Rotopoint have?
Up to 702 individually controlled compartments in a single frame. Multiple Rotopoint units can be linked on one computer — up to 10 units for a maximum of 7,020 compartments across a site.
Can Rotopoint securely manage calibrated equipment or high-value assets?
|
Yes. Rotopoint supports secure single-compartment return, controlling exactly where a calibrated tool, gauge, or other high-value item goes back to for full accountability. |
What happens if power is lost — can items still be retrieved from Rotopoint?
Yes. Rotopoint includes a manual override that provides access to contents in the event of a computer failure.
