Leading Innovation

The vending process has allowed us to narrow down the number of like items being used. This has prevented us from overspending on multiple brands of the same thing. We can have a uniform structure for PPE across the entire site. It’s a must for a manufacturing facility. It allows the site to stay focused on site safety programs and production.

When a large food and bev manufacturer went looking for a strategic supplier that would not only save them money, but drive efficiencies, they found Fastenal.

Estimated Annual Dispenses

Total Estimated Annual Labor Cost Avoidance

Dispense value was calculated at $2 per dispense. This logic assumes the alternative scenario to vending is disbursement from a tool crib; labor cost avoidance estimates an average time investment of 4 minutes per transaction by the tool crib attendee. Savings may be greater if walk/wait times are shorter to vending at POU than a crib location.
