PPE Vending Machines

Personal Protective Equipment are vital in assuring worker safety across industries such as construction, healthcare and manufacturing. However, managing the PPE distribution efficiently is a challenge for most companies. This is where PPE vending machines comes in, a solution that automates inventory control, reduces waste and enhances regulatory compliance. Keep scrolling while we cover the key benefits of PPE vending machines.

 

Key Benefits of PPE Vending Machines

Cost Effective

Installing vending machines has numerous financial benefits, with the first being the lack of need to employ a stock control man/woman. Using the UK minimum wage of £12.21 (2025 figure) an hour, to employ someone on a 40 hours a week basis, this would cost businesses a minimum of £488.40 per week, installing vending machines would be significantly less.

Not only would you save on salary/wages, you would also save on stock cost’s. Using data provided by our supplier, one customer last year reduced their spend on certain items by over 50%,  going from a spend of £20,000 to £10,000 on certain items stock due to vending providing a more efficient and cost effective way of tracking stock levels and by tracking where stock is going.

With vending there is also less scope for theft, as each employee will be held accountable for the products they have taken, which will be logged via fingerprint card.

Improved Inventory Management

Using the software included, you would be able to generate regular reports, which outline information regarding the workers that have used any material, and details about the items that have been distributed. This in turn allows management to cut down on certain lines of stock that are rarely used.

 

24/7 Access

Not only is having a stock man/woman expensive, it is also troublesome when he or she is off on annual leave or off sick. This can leave your repair shop in meltdown with stock being taking at will or not being tracked. Vending eradicates this issue.

Vending machines are available 24/7, 365 days a year. Not just 8 hours a day.
