DGI Supply is the industry leader in automated inventory controls. With hundreds of industrial supply vending machines in service, our installation base is one of the largest in North America. We use cutting-edge technology to help you monitor your use of crib items to drive your costs down and your profits up.

 

DGI Supply provides everything that’s needed for the best crib inventory system in existence. Then, we install it and monitor it to make sure it’s working for you. We supply the software, the scanners, the licenses, the PCs, the printers, the monitors and the dispensing stations. 

 

By making your crib or inventory locations highly organized and tightly monitored, DGI Supply’s system can give you high-level reporting on consumption and ordering. Standard reports give you precise tracking on usage by department, employee, machine and job -- in fact, over 150 other standard reports are available to you. The program can be set up to use employee-specific ID cards, proximity card readers -- even hand scanners to give heightened security to your valuable inventory and data.

 

Bar-coding of crib items has proven wildly popular and highly useful to our customers, and DGI has the tools and expertise to put this technology to work for you. We can set up your crib with an on-site scanner or do the scanning for you: Either way, DGI Supply can help you drive the vast efficiencies of this technology right to your bottom line. DGI can also set up a bar code scanning system which uses RF -- radio frequency -- devices to provide immediate data synchronization to your master database.
