Avancia Vending Machines
What is the Avancia inventory management system?
Avancia is our intelligent industrial vending machine program deployed directly on your shop floor. It allows employees 24/7 access to PPE and tooling via badge swipe, eliminating shrink and stockouts.
At what purchasing volume does a vending machine become cost-effective?
Generally, if you spend upwards of $15,000 to $20,000 annually on consumable tooling and safety gear for at least 20 employees, the machine's ROI is achieved in under a year.
Who is responsible for restocking the machines?
It is a turnkey service: the machines automatically communicate with our ERP system when inventory hits critical minimums. Our on-the-road representatives physically restock them at your facility (Vendor Managed Inventory).
Can I restrict expensive items to specific employees?
Yes. The included software portal allows configuration of strict limits. For instance, you can limit a worker to 2 pairs of gloves per week, or restrict access to high-precision cutting tools to foremen only.
Does the installation require heavy infrastructure?
Not at all. The modular Avancia vending units require only a standard 120V power outlet and internet access (Wifi, Ethernet, or an LTE cellular drop).
Do you also handle tool calibration (Gauge Management)?
Yes. Our connected locker modules can track check-in/check-out for expensive tools or instruments that require recurring calibration cycles.

We maintain a vast network of authorized service partners for tool repairs (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, CP). Drop your defective tools at our counter and we manage the process.
