Hardware · ECTC electronic cabinet

Entry-level control, familiar cabinet — security without complexity.

ECTC combines a familiar tool cabinet with SupplyPoint's access control and reporting, giving drawer-level security for both low-cost, high-volume items and bulky, high-value equipment — all in one flexible, entry-level system. Every drawer opening is logged to a named user, and the system scales from a single cabinet to a ten-unit installation as your needs change.

Standalone or Add-On

Available as a standalone (with touchscreen and controller) or add-on. 

Configurable

The drawers within the ECTC can be configured to provide a selection of different compartment sizes. 

Expandable

Can be expanded by adding additional ECTC cabinets or integrated with other SupplyPoint equipment (up to 10 frames total).

Accountability

VendTel provides a comprehensive audit trail of user access and item usage.

Stop Losing Inventory. Start Controlling It.

ECTC replaces ordinary tool cabinets with a controlled, tracked alternative — adding accountability and reporting without the cost or complexity of full individual-item control.

Whether you’re controlling items for a cell or for a tool crib, ECTC offers drawer-level security capable of managing both large and small items.

Two frame heights with a variety of drawer depths that can be subdivided into as many as 48 compartments per drawer offer a flexible solution for your inventory management needs.

Flexibility, ease-of-use and fast transaction times make the ECTC a favourite of customer with dynamic environments.

Using SupplyPoint's VendTel software, the ECTC unit can stand alone, join with other ECTC units, or be included in installations with other SupplyPoint solutions to serve your inventory control needs.

The Dispensing Workflow

Step 01 — Authenticate

Login via the touchscreen or card reader. VendTel applies the user's access profile and permissions.

Step 02 — Locate and open

An LED identification system guides the user to the correct drawer. Multiple items from different locations can be selected in a single transaction.

Step 03 — Transaction recorded

Every drawer opening is logged — an audit trail of who accessed the cabinet and why, sent to WebSync. 

Step 05 — Replenishment triggered..

When stock reaches its reorder point, WebSync triggers a replenishment order to your designated supplier — automatically.

FAQs

Questions, Answered.

Does ECTC track every item individually, like other SupplyPoint hardware?

 No. ECTC provides drawer-level security and accountability rather than individual-compartment control, making it a cost-effective entry point where that level of tracking is sufficient — and it handles a wider range of item sizes in one unit as a result, from small fasteners to bulky equipment. 

Is ECTC just a vending machine?

No — ECTC pairs a familiar tool-cabinet form factor with the full VendTel/WebSync/SupplyPointiQ platform, giving drawer-level control, automated replenishment, and consumption analytics, not just point-of-use dispensing

How many compartments can a single ECTC drawer hold?

 Up to 48, using configurable divider sets. 

How does it integrate with our existing systems?

ECTC integrates easily with other SupplyPoint products and can be managed alongside existing units from one VendTel and WebSync account

What kind of hardware is available?

ECTC is available in two frame heights, with drawers configurable into a range of compartment layouts using divider sets — plus other options available on request.

How quickly will we see a return?

Returns come from reduced consumption, better accountability for high-value items, and less staff time spent searching for or reordering items — customers typically see measurable savings within the first few months of deployment.

Related solution — MRO Optimisation

ECTC's entry-level drawer security suits mixed MRO estates where full individual-item control isn't required.

What is the maximum weight capacity per drawer?

 440 lbs per drawer.
