Still buying the same box of gloves twice?
Consumables don't run out — they disappear. A little over-drawing here, a hoarded drawer there, a stockout that halts a line. It never shows up as one big loss, so nobody catches it. HiveStock™ does. Most customers see at least a 25% reduction in consumption.
Four ways consumables bleed money — and how HiveStock plugs each one
Consumption creep
When there's no name on a withdrawal, people take two "to be safe." Put accountability on it and usage quietly drops — that's where the 25% comes from.
Hoarding
Private stashes in toolboxes and lockers mean you re-order stock you already own. Controlled dispensing kills the stash and the double-buy with it.
Stockouts
A missing £2 abrasive can idle a £200/hour cell. Live levels trigger replenishment automatically — zero stockouts, no purchase orders to chase.
FOD risk
Foreign object debris is a programme-ender in aerospace — and a costly one anywhere loose stock meets moving parts. Camera-verified withdrawals and serialised control give you the traceable chain your auditors want.
What does a minimum 25% reduction look like for you?
Pick your route on the rate card and slide your monthly consumables spend. Every figure is annual, ex VAT, with installation amortised into the cost — no monthly-rate-only maths.
Your rate £269/month ex VAT · nothing to pay upfront · 36-month term
Nothing upfront, £269 a month for 36 months — £3,228 a year all-in, and nothing else to pay.
Pays for itself at £1,080/month spend on this tier.
Figures illustrate the "minimum 25% reduction" claim against our published rate card. All prices are ex VAT, per cabinet, with delivery, installation and onboarding included in the cost shown. Your actual reduction is typically higher.
No counting. No purchase orders. No surprises.
- Per-worker, per-item accountability — every withdrawal tied to a name, job and cost centre.
- Camera-verified — a clip on every vend, ready for FOD and quality audits.
- Zero stockouts — live levels auto-trigger replenishment.
- Works offline — the cabinet keeps dispensing when the network drops.
- Zero-IT deployment — add fully managed 5G at £79/mo ex VAT and the cabinet never touches your network.
- Batched & serialised control — expiry and calibration tracked where it matters.
- Real-time usage visibility — see consumption by team, shift or line.
If it's consumable or countable, HiveStock controls it — proven in aerospace, trusted everywhere from workshops to warehouses.
