About our Vending Solutions
With our vending solutions, we use the internet-based industrial vending technology, our vending machine services offers vending machines that are easy to use, easy to implement and easy to afford.
Our vending solutions has been providing, for many years, significant benefits to customers by reducing costs associated with the purchase, stock-holding and handling of a wide range of low-cost fastening and ancillary items. This expertise is continually developing as our customers recognise the need for continued savings in the tough economic environment we all find ourselves in today. As a part of our vending solutions, we have recently introduced the latest generation of vending machines to handle those essential items that require high maintenance and/or high security.
Control and monitor usage of Consumables, Tools, PPE and other manufacture critical components.
Unlike most industrial vending machine suppliers, which are built on an ageing architecture that rely on PC-based technology, complicated data replication schemes and infrequent data updates, our vending technology is an Internet Appliance using the latest and best available technologies that do not depend upon a Microsoft Windows operating system. As a result, we provide our customers with a lean, robust solution that is easy to implement and does not require the same levels of support as earlier technologies.
The flexibility of the internal configuration of our machines also means that a wide variety of product can be dispensed from a single screw or drill piece through to items over 2 metres long!
TFC are experts at recognising logistical and technical problems and we can tailor a system to suit our customers’ needs no matter what the fastener, application or levels of inventory involved. Each business is considered individually to identify and quantify expected cost savings and productivity gains which can typically be:
- Reduction in consumption (10% to over 30%)
- Reduction in inventory levels, improved inventory turn rates
- Reduction of product retrieval and waiting times
- Elimination of stock outs and obsolete inventory
- Reduced procurement costs
The business case for Point of Work Dispensing goes far beyond the direct savings realised and our vending solutions include:
- 24/7/365 Availability

- Data Gathering for Lean and Six Sigma Initiatives and other Process Improvements
- Cost Avoidance (reduce staffing for off-shifts and weekends and reduce overtime)
- Reclaim storage space for production areas
- Easy to implement and support with low operating costs
