Distributor Managed Supply

SupplyPoint enables your contracted industrial distributor to manage vending on your behalf - managing your stock, replenishing automatically and ensuring the items your teams need are at the point-of-use on every shift.

Guaranteed availability. Zero manual stock management. A distributor relationship built on service and data.*

Always

In stock — replenished before it runs out

24/7

Access, no 2nd or 3rd shift staffing

100%

Spend through a contracted distributor

Zero

Manual stock counts

Step 1

Worker authentication

RFID, PIN or barcode. VendTel identifies the worker and applies their access profile — role, department, and quantity limits per category.

STEP 2

Distributor manages

Your distributor manages stock levels at every machine via WebSync. No manual stock count from your team.

STEP 3

Replenishment triggered

When stock reaches the reorder point, a replenishment order fires automatically. No call from your supervisor. No purchase requisition. It arrives.

STEP 4

Data visible to both

Consumption data by user, cost center and item available to your procurement team and your distributor. The shared foundation of the service.

Always in stock - guaranteed

Automated replenishment before items run out. No production delays. No workers starting shifts without what they need.

Zero manual stock management

Your team doesn't count stock, place reorders or chase deliveries for managed items. The distributor handles it.

Consumption data without the effort

Every dispense logged automatically — user, item, cost center, timestamp. Available for reporting and cost allocation.

24/7 access on every shift

Vending machines operate around the clock. Night shifts and weekends get the same access as the day shift.

Spend on contract - automatically

All replenishment flows through your contracted distributor. Maverick purchasing structurally prevented — not just monitored.

A stronger distributor relationship

Service-based relationships are more resilient. Both sides have shared data and mutual accountability.
