SupplyLocker EXT Series - Add Locker Control at the Right Price

The EXT Series is the perfect add-on to existing SupplyPro systems and features LED lighting, Lexan clear doors and advanced control capabilities including tool and gage calibration, certification standards, lock-down requirements, loan periods, quantity limits, tool rotation and much more. The SupplyLocker EXT series is paired with a SupplyBay with keypad and requires no additional application and support fees.

SupplyPro Virtual Inventory Module (VIM) - Transaction Tracking Outside the Device

The SupplyPro Virtual Inventory Module (VIM) allows clients with SupplyLinks to track transactions for products not physically within a SupplyPro device. With proper user participation, items are easily tracked with full SupplyPort reporting capabilities and business rules.

o Automate use of reworks before new

o Provide electronic ordering and automated inventory alert notification

o Eliminate waste and excess inventory

o Enforce return of used tools for inspection before operator can dispense again
SmartDrawer 48-Lid - High Density Storage in a Small Footprint
