Manage Overhead for Complete Cost Control

It can be daunting to manage overhead in a competitive business environment. Often, it is a nagging worry that greets you at work and follows you home. Most of your time is probably spent on important items like the products and services you offer. Of course you are going to focus on the "bread and butter" that creates your revenue stream. If you didn't, it would be difficult (if not impossible) to stay profitable. Overhead and more specifically, supply costs, impact your bottom line as well and that is where we come in.I know what it is like to spend close to 10 hours a day trying to make sure that your business runs smoothly and efficiently. I also know that just because production or sales are up, your profit margin may not be moving. Often, those increases in revenue are associated with some type of increase in cost. That big number can be shocking!When you are overseeing your company and trying your hardest to make more money and put out all of the fires you are not able to oversee every little aspect of your costs of doing business. Wouldn't it be great if you could make your employees more accountable and lower the big, scary number up to 50%? Hiring another supervisor isn't the answer. Your management does not need to add "Professional Babysitter" to their resume. Your solution: Automated Supply Distribution Vending.


Have you paid attention to how your snack and soda vendors do business? They set up their machines, stock them with products they know you want and go on about their business. The machines do their job and the vendor doesn't have to worry because the machine does all of the work for them!You can now do the same thing with your employee's supplies. It works with PPE (safety), MRO (tools) and IT peripherals. Use your imagination and you can probably come up with some other uses as well. The machine doesn't have buddies that get extra supplies and the whole system trains your employees to be more accountable.Employees access the vending supply machine with a PIN number or an ID card to get the equipment they need to do their jobs safely and efficiently. They are recognized by name at the machine, so it reinforces that they are accountable for what they are using. Reports are accessible 24/7 and can be scheduled to be delivered to you. The reporting software is set up prior to your machine being installed and gives you access to very detailed information on who is using what and when.Doesn't this sound like a better option than out of control supply costs and babysitting employees?
