Point-of-use stock control

Stock that looks after itself.

Smart cabinets that know who took what, refill themselves before they run out, and never block the work. Badge in, take what the job needs, close the door.

What that's worth — a worked example Spend £1,500 a month on consumables? A minimum 25% reduction saves you £4,500 a year. A HiveStock™ cabinet costs from £2,480 a year all-in — including installation, support, updates and repairs. That leaves you £2,000+ ahead, every year. Nothing upfront? You're still £1,250+ ahead.

A HiveStock stock-control cabinet with its door open, showing stocked drawers and the touch-screen tablet on the front panel.

One platform. Two modes.

Control stock at the point of use — and watch it typically pay for itself

Whether it's consumables that vanish or tools that never come back, the fix is the same: nothing moves without a name against it. Same cabinets, same admin, same reporting — you just choose the mode each item runs in.

Why it works

You can't manage what you can't see. Now you can see all of it.

Per-worker accountability

Every item is signed out to a named person against a job or cost centre. Consumption creep stops the day people know it's on the record.

Camera-verified

A clip is captured on every withdrawal and return. Perfect for FOD control and for settling "I never took that" in seconds, not meetings.

Works offline

Site network down? The cabinet keeps working and syncs when it's back. Encrypted nightly backups to independent, restore-tested storage.

If it's consumable or countable, HiveStock controls it — proven in aerospace, trusted everywhere from workshops to warehouses.

What this normally costs

Enterprise stock control. Without the enterprise invoice.

Industrial vending systems typically cost £8,000–£20,000 per machine — or come “free” with a supply contract you can't leave. HiveStock starts at £0 upfront and works with any supplier you choose.

What you're comparing	The old way	HiveStock
Upfront cost	£8,000–£20,000 per machine	From £0
Software	Per-user licences, paid modules	Everything included
Your suppliers	Locked to theirs	Yours — any of them
Pricing	POA — book a sales call	On this page
Contract	Multi-year supply commitments	24 or 36 months, cabinet only

Comparison figures are typical published or quoted prices for industrial vending systems, and describe how the category generally sells rather than any one supplier.

Same accountability. Same audit trail. A fraction of the cost.
