Your employees access the machines via the touchscreen or by swiping their ID cards. Usage data, inventory levels and restocking requirements are sent over the internet to your local Buck & Hickman branch.

In addition to knowing what items have been used, you will know who took them, what job they were used on and the cost centre they have been allocated to. Access can be controlled so that employees only have access to the items they need on the shifts they need them on.
